time to bring out the bubbly as my boo David Cook is the new American Idol. Hurray! Hurray!
Archuleta may have done better during performance night but the 12 million difference in votes proved otherwise. Albeit the not so good original songs, the cookies won over the angels and i couldn't be happier.
it wasn't a surprise though as iTunes, online polls and radio air plays show that Cook does have what it takes. watching and hearing him on stage is a treat each time, leaving you wanting for more. he will definitely make it big.
as his final song aptly says, indeed, he's more than a name or face in the crowd.
Season 7 has come to an end. a new idol has been proclaimed. the curtains have come down and the stage is at rest. a new season will soon begin and i can't wait.
yes, i do. which is sad because i used to like her. you know, back when she just sang and sounded good instead of capitalizing on her on-the-verge-of-tears drama. which, apparently, works since people still voted for her.
watching her the past couple of weeks had been excruciating. i mean, come on! if she were on audition and she forgot her lyrics, the judges would've called her off right away. you'd think that after her restart on Every Breath You Take she'd learn. but no! she had to do it. again.
never mind that Andrew Lloyd Weber was in the audience. never mind the orchestra. she made a booboo and wanted another take. it's a friggin live show for crying out loud not a dress rehearsal!
she should've gone home this week instead. i'm no fan of Syesha and Carly but they're performances were better by a mile.
not good. seriously.

much as i want to watch every episode of American Idol as they are shown on primetime tv, i can't. my work doesn't allow me to. and while there are several replays in cable, it's just not the same.
that being said, i am ever so happy that i discovered Rickey Yaneza, a New York based pinoy, who, in his website, features videos and audio streams of each performance. hurray! hurray!
now, workin' late on idol nights won't be that bad.
ooppss time to get back to work. ssshhhhh!
This Is My Now, written by Scott Krippayne & Jeff Peabody which bested 19 other original songs, paved the way to Jordin's idol victory.
it was perfect. Jordin gave the kind of vibe Taylor did on the first few lines of Do I Make You Proud.
same goosebumps, same message.
different song, different person.
and what do u know? my fearless forecast came true.
~~~~~~~~
personal faves on the top 20 songs:
This Is My Now, One Night, You Never Gave Up on Me, If You Ask Me To, All The Love Your Heart Can Hold
sad? NO!!!
while it's true that she has the best voice among the three, i have to say i was never a fan of Melinda and seeing her go this week kinda brought a smile on my face.
listening to her is one thing. watching her is another.
and i stand by what i said on my fearless forecast that adorable Jordin will be this year's idol.
yet another sleepless night for me but i didn't mind. i was, after all, watching one of my fave shows. American Chopper, for those who have yet to hear of the show, is about a garage turned bike shop called OCC (Orange County Choppers) which is regarded as one of the world’s premier builders of custom motorcycles and are known for their theme bikes.
i first learned of the show last year through my brother and i got hooked eversince. not because of the bikes that they make but because of the way they make them. plus the fact that the cast are totally hilarious. well, at least most of the time.
the cast includes founder Paul Sr. , his sons Paul Jr. and Mickey and Paul Jr.'s friend, my new eye candy, Vinnie.
he ain't buffed. he ain't clean cut. he's chubby. he's chunky. he's my new eye candy!
show airs on the Discovery Channel. you may wanna check your local cable stations for the airtimes.
I know a lot of the so-called Fanjayas in the world are sad but i'm sure they weren't surprised. It's been long overdue. The hair and the antics just weren't enough this week.
However, that being said, i'm still not wowed by this year's batch. It's just not the same. While it's true that there is more variety in this year's competition, past idol contestants were better than most of the finalists today.
I still have high hopes for Jordin and Blake though.
As for Melinda, i was grinning from ear to ear when Simon made that comment about her acting surprised each time a complement is given. Sheesh! I mean, how many praises does she need to actually believe that yes, she can sing and she sings well?!
i know it's too early in the season but my fearless forecast is that a girl would win this time.
while Lakisha Jones had a very commanding first week and obviously an early judges fave, my cards are on Jordin Sparks . i simply adore her!
for the boys, i'd say either Phil Stacey or Chris Sligh would be the last guy booted out. if the audience decide to vote based on talent, that is.
as for last week's eliminated idols, Antonella Barba should've been the one sent home instead of Amy Krebs.
it's idol night once again tomorrow and i can't wait. hopefully the guys do better this week.
