More Idol Thoughts

Before I go into my American Idol review, on a side note, my cough is bronchitis. Nice. So I am on anti-virals. Hack hackity hack.

So the circus... the banal circus of talent. Or the circus of banal talent. But wait, no, there is talent in there but few and far between so for these next weeks, it will just be circus of the cuts. Cutting, trimming off the obvious talentless flab. I can't believe that that Antoinelle girl is still in the running. She is Middle School talent show bad. My friend Alexandra put it perfectly:
But…when that snotty, untalented, scream-y, naked picture girl brought up Jennifer Hudson and the fact that she was voted off last year, and then whined about her criticism of her non existent, thin and truly ear piercing voice, Simon Cowell simply snarked:

“WE didn’t vote her off this show. America did.”

Put that in your pipe and fast forward it.

Here are my predictions as to who will be the top twelve...

Guys:
Blake Lewis
Chris Richardson
Sundance Head
Chris Sligh
Brandon Rogers
Jared Cotter

Girls:
Sabrina Sloan
Melinda Doolittle
Jordin Sparks
Gina Glocksen
Lakisha Jones
Stephanie Edwards



My personal favorites are Chris Richardson and Melinda Doolittle. I think it would be wonderful to see Melinda win it. But if she does, I hope she doesn't pull a Katherine McPhee and abandon everything she did on the show and become a pop queen.
