That girl Asia’h is great. I really like her tone of voice and she’s cute and has a great personality.

David Archuleta is one of my “babies” of this season. Not only is he a great singer, but he seems humble and is still so young. I’d love to hear more from that boy. He’s got great range!

Amanda is great! I think she is really unique. And it’s rare where you find someone likeher who doesn’t seem completely fake. She’s got a good voice and she has some charm.

Brooke White is okay, for me. She’s definitely not one of my favorites but I think she brings a “nice-girl” vibe to the show. I just don’t know if she would make it on her singing talents alone.

Syesha is really impressive! It’s amazing how she can just come back from having her throat problems and still manage to blow the judges and audience away!

Galeb was ridiculous! He really annoyed me, and yes, Jeanne. He really thought he was hotter than he was ‘cuz I was not feelin’ him for one second!

Jean- It does seem like a better idea that they give them a 2nd chance. I think that some of the choices in past seasons would have been better if they had done the same thing.

I just wonder who it was that Randy insisted was a star during deliberations but who Simon didn’t like. Conversely, I wonder who it was that Simon was willing to stake his life on during deliberations.

I want to comment on the format of Hollywood week because it was so different than it had been in previous years.

Before, it was kind of like boot camp, they saw how everyone performed under extreme stress with new and exhausting challenges every day. People got one chance, just one, to impress the judges – In otherwards, it was like it would be when they are performing on Idol!

This show was nicer in that they got two shots at making it, plenty of rest for the better preformers, nothing but performing prepared songs. So nice for them. The first part was performing over a 2 day period, so no sitting around for 2 days, just one of 2. If they failed, they had to prepare for a 3rd day, the people who passed got to work on their final performance. So only the people who made it at the last minute would really be time challenged, unless it meant waiting a long time to work with the band and back ups. We don’t really know the behindthe scene machinations. Still, not quite as stressful.

So here we go, they have some talented singers, but can they keep up with the pace, do they have the hunger to “go for it”? Well, none of that could be predicted by the Hollywood week, so I think this is actually a step backwards in evaluating people. I am not big into the torture of contestants, but the show demands a lot of it’s participants, and will they produce?

Anyway, I hates the green mile and am not sure I can watch that; maybe I’ll just catch the results online afterwards.

All in all, they seem to have nice voices to enjoy for a few months. ’bout time, eh?

I thoroughly enjoyed American Idol last night. I agree with A”kyra’s comments. I was so happy when Syesha came through with her last song. She gave it all she had and it was well worth it. I hope she goes a long way. Some of the judges decision did surprise me and from the coming attractions for tonight, there will be a lot of surprises.

Amanda was awesome but again I have to agree with both Simon and A’kyra. She will definitely need to step it up if she wants to win or at least go far in the competition.

Honestly speaking, I’m not sure why or how Ghaleb made it to Hollywood week. I didn’t think he qualified at all! Last night justified that in more ways than one! Come on!

How about the 16 year old! Blew me away!! I hope he goes far in the competition.

There were many others that I enjoyed and will be hoping will make the final cut.

I will be looking forward to tonight’s episode. Just hope I won’t be disappointed with the judges decisions. They have made some errors in the past.

Have a good day everyone!
