I am a huge American Idol fan. I thought I would start a weekly American Idol post to rant and rave discuss the contestants, who got voted off, who should have gotten voted off and all the stuff in between.
1st week voted off
The Girls
Ashley Rodriguez “Happy” – I don’t agree with this 100%. I didn’t think she was very good, but I don’t think she deserved to go…..just yet. She had a decent voice, but her rendition of Happy didn’t leave me very happy at all. However, I think she had potential and in a few weeks, who knows. I guess we never will!
Janell Wheeler “What About Love” – I kind of feel the same way about Janell that I do about Ashley, there was potential there. She was cute, but her choice of song was not for you for me, to quote Randy (that’s the dumbest saying I’ve ever heard!)
I think that there were a few other girls that could should have been voted off in their place, like Lacey Brown. Landslide isn’t my favorite song, by, well a landslide, but her version of it? Ugh, it was terrible. Not to mention she kind of freaks me out. Or maybe Katelyn Epperly? I thought she was going to whip out a stripper pole on the stage, way over the top. Or even Haeley Vaughn. What the hell was she wearing? She looked like a deranged nurse. Not a fan at all. I think any one of these girls should have taken either Ashley or Janell’s place.
The Guys
Joe Munoz “You and I Both” – I was not too disappointed by this decision. He wasn’t one of my faves and what was up with that man scarf? I’m not digging the look. That being said, I was really shocked that he got the boot over Tim Urban. That boy should be counting his lucky stars right now. After her rendition of One Republic’s Apologize, he should have been apologizing to the audience for having to listen to him fake hitting high notes and basically making me want to puke. Hopefully, he won’t be around for too much longer.
Tyler Grady “American Woman” – I was really, truly shocked by this decision. While his vocals weren’t the best, I thought he brought something to the competition. His swagga, as the judges like to call it, was awesome. Yes, he did put it on a little bit thick, but I think he worked it. I think he had real potential and was very sad to see him leave.
My faves so far are Casey, Didi, Crystal, Lily and Todrick. I really dug Todrick’s remix of Since U Been Gone. It took me a minute to figure out what song it was, I thought it totally rocked.
But the judges comments totally ticked me off. I get so freaking sick and tired of hearing them say, you need to change it up, you need to make it your own. And then when they do change a song up or make it their own, they get criticized. No one would ever know what song that was. That’s not original at all. Then they sing a song, sound very much like the artist that originally performed the song and get criticized again. You sound just like so and so. You can’t fucking win with these judges. For realz.
Unless of course you are David Archuletta. They loved everything he did. And he never changed anything up. Evah.
I thought it was totally uncalled for and unfair what they did to Casey. Kara needed a cold shower after he came out on stage. They went on for too long commenting on his looks, him being shirtless, etc. I thought it was really inappropriate and totally unfair to him.
I’m not gonna lie, the boy is definitely easy on the eyes. And he’s not bad to listen too either! But there was no reason to drag it on and on and on how Kara got wet every time she saw him or he sang. Enough already. Maybe she should just America’s Next Porn Star. Just a thought.
And a good one. I’d definitely watch that reality show.
Can’t wait for next week to see who gets the boot. And to see if Crystal will get her teeth whitened any more.
What? She didn’t think we’d notice that since the audition her teeth went from orange to a slightly lighter shade of yellow? Keep blowing that harmonica baby.
