Insane or Amazing

IMHO, David Cook has already won.

If he doesn't make it all the way through, he still has won.

I thought his performance of Lionel Richie's "Hello" a couple weeks ago was awesome.

Last night he did it again. Even Simon, the one who can find fault with everyone, said to attempt this, you'd have to be insane or amazing.

Simon gave it "amazing".

I Apologize

I am not mean spirited. I don't say things with intent to hurt someones feelings. I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't poke fun if I thought I couldn't get away with it.

That's all I was doing here, when I referred to Amanda Overmyer as "Cruella". It was the hair I was poking fun of. The fact that I think she sounded terrible was just my opinion. Obviously not the opinion of many others because she is still a favorite. Even to Simon.

Clearly I was wrong to call her Cruella.

I watched her again last night ...

I should have called her Beetlejuice.

"Hello"

I usually don't have a favorite performer on American Idol until they are down to about the last six. This season, they have some talent that will continue on win or lose.

Right from his first audition, I liked this guy, David Cook.
Tonight, the songs having to be from the 80's, David nailed it. I think he was best of the night.



... even Simon said he "loved it".

Q-Tips all Around

I think some voters for this past week of American Idol need Q-Tips.

I don't normally get all defensive about this show. It's on while I'm waiting for LOST to start, so I watch as I'm doing other things. I actually got choked up tonight, when they sent Alaina home.

She's 16, every bit as cute as Carrie Underwood, (who I happen to like) and the fact she made the top 24 speaks for itself. She may not have made it to the end, but there are a few others that should leave before her.

I have no idea why Cruella made it through.
Her performance was horrible, she barely hit one note correct.

Clearly, Alaina was sent home before her time.
