"Muse-ical" Musings from ME

WOW! I thought much of IDOL was pretty good last night. I am excited for the results show tonight - I think it could be a tight race! Here are some of my thoughts, in no particular order:

1. Constantine ROCKED! You know I mentioned last time how I feel about him - loved him, now like him... not as good as Bo but then again, is it fair to compare? Either way, he totally rocked last night. PERFECT song for him and that last note really stuck out. Awesome job.... definitely a keeper this week.

2. Anwar. Ok I still like him. I do. His voice is really pleasant and he seems super sweet. But that song. Oh no... that horrible song. I hated it when Tamyra sang it in Season 1 ("a chair is still a chair?" Umm ok, whatever that means), I hated it when I believe someone sang it in Season 3 and I hated it last night. But Anwar is good and I have wanted to like him for a while, so we'll write this off as "bad song choice" and move on.

3. Mikalah. Is The Nanny out on DVD yet because this girl must own the entire series' collection. Wow - is she Fran or what?! Even the way she dresses. I thought she was cute during auditions and it's been slowly turning into AnNoYiNg week by week. Simon was dead on last night- her personality was bigger then her talent in that song. No good. Into my bottom three (and consequently, the one I booted off).

4. Lindsay. She's pretty but that's all she does for me - she's a nice girl to watch perform. I haven't liked her since the beginning - her personality is like a big, wet rag to me. She shows virtually NO emotion and frankly, I'm over her "I could care less if I am on American Idol" attitude. Into my bottom three.

5. Anthony. What were the judges listening to last night? Everyone in my household thought he was fab and the judges ripped him a new one. I have always liked Anthony. He has a great voice and he was told he would never SPEAK.... and he sounds like THAT?! Amazing! Plus, I also love the fact that he didn't even speak English until 9 years old... and he sounds so clear and crisp. I really like him and hope the viewing audience ignored the judges comments last night (well hopefully they ignore Paula every night/week/show because all this woman does is agree with Randy. She is like a robot with no sense of self. It's maddening at times!)

6. Nadia: Wowzers... she's awesome! Is it just me or did Nadia look totally different last night? I think she had some of her hair pulled back and she had a gown on - totally different from her punk look and while I like both styles I have seen on her, this was a nice suprise and totally worked in her favor. I really enjoy watching Nadia every week. Into my top three ( ok we don't vote on top three but I just felt like saying that :) )

7. Bo Bice. I just like to say his full name. Odd choice of song but totally rocked it! Well, maybe "odd" isn't the right word. Different. But totally his style so it worked out wonderfully. I can't say anything bad about him and I am so so so so happy the judges can't/don't either. I wasn't sure Simon would like the song choice but I was happy to hear he did. They are right - Bo is totally a seasoned performer. When does he go out on tour? I want to be in his front row rocking my head up and down & flashing metal....

8. Jessica. Like her a lot but last night (she was first) she didn't do anything memorable for me....

9. Nikko. I voted him out last week but I found myself pushing for him last night. It's almost kind of "cool" (sorry for the lack of intelligable word there but nothing else comes to mind) that he has a chance at going on a little further when last week he was on a plane home. I liked his song - worked for him and the words "oh baby give me one more chance..." were very appro-po! Picthy in areas and defininely not a top contender but not too shabby for a last minute performance. Put him in my bottom three but didn't kick him off.

10. Scott. Ummm I am just not sure if I like him. Smooth voice but doesn't really set stars off in my eyes. Looks a little serial killer-ish to me and I feel bad saying that aloud but I've heard it from others before. I don't get the sunglasses thing on stage either? *scratching head*

11. Vonzell. She loked pretty, if that will get you votes. Ok in my book. Nothing spetacular. She has a very humble, sweet personality though so that makes me like her. I didn't even remember her performance, hence the reason I am only remembering her at #11 on my list. Who the heck is #12 by the way??

12. Really... who is the 12th person? ? ? :::still thinking::: Oh Carrie! I actually had to check the IDOL website for that. I'm not sure why because she is one of my favorites. I didn't think her performance was bad last night either, so why did she fall right out of my head? Anyway, Paula & Randy could have said better things to her but I am glad Simon said something positive. She picked up the pace finally (the last 2 weeks were booooor-ing) and she looked nice too.

So in short, my bottom three are Mikalah, Nikko and Lindsay with Mikalah going home. That seemed to be the popular vote at my house. There were a few Vonzell's thrown in the mix and maybe a Scott or two. Some people had Lindsay being kicked off. I'm really not sure. Guess we'll have to tune in tonight!
