American Idol Season 8

Wow. Post SPM life rocks. Hard.

Lately, I've been so friggin free that I find myself faithfully devoted to this year's American Idol. And, I've been catching each and every show without fail from the initial auditions all the way through Hollywood Week and now the Top 36.

Boy, was it fun to watch my favourites sing on stage and feel the suspense as I desperately hoped that my favourites made it through to the next rounds.

So, the contestants have now been narrowed down to the Top 36 and here are my thoughts about the ones that caught my eyes.

So, if your favourites aren't in here, don't take it too personally yar. I can't possibly list down and talk bad ala Simon Cowell on all 36 contestants right? Duh.

First up, Adam Lambert.


In my eyes, he's a Jonas Brother's reject, right down from the hair to his overall appearance. Heck, even his face was modeled after Joe Jonas. He's got a good voice, good looks, tightly-tuned vocals and possesses charisma but somehow, he lacks delivery in his songs. He'll make it into the Top 15 at least. Bluek.

Alex Wagner-Truman.


The 'out-of-the-closet-but-not-in-a-homosexual-way' guy and America's coolest nerd. He's got the voice but definetely not the charisma, nor confidence. Plus, he's all squirelly-like and nerd-ish. I don't quite see him making it far but Top 20 is furthest he'll go.

Allison Irehata.


Not the hottest gal amongst the rest, but what she lacks in looks, she makes up for in the power and the energy of her voice. Exerts great control over her vocals and great voice overall but perhaps her inexperience and age will result in inconsistent performances and ultimately, her downfall. Top 20 at most.

Arianna Afsar.


Probably the sweetest and cutest girl to make the cut, Arianna has the voice, personality, looks and basically the overall package. Again, her age is the limiting factor here. Top 10 all the way.

Anoop Desai


If you're able to get over this retarded-looking picture of his, Anoop has a voice which he delivers with a healthy dose of soul. A good voice but I don't think he's given it his all yet. So, it's a tough call to make. Top 20 at least. What a friggin retarded looking picture.

Danny Gokey.


My money's on this guy to win this year's American Idol and be crowned Season 8's American Idol. Apart from having a superb voice and a memorable personality, his tragic tale of losing his wife (boo hoo) might win the viewer's hearts and propel him towards victory. Top 3, baby!

Jackie Tohn


A ravishing brunette, Jackie has a style of her own when it comes to singing. Her husky voice coupled with her unique style of singing may just carry her through. My thoughts, Top 12 at least.

Jasmine Murray.


Another sweet cupcake thrown into the mix for variety, she's got a sweet voice and she exudes so much sweetness you're gonna get diabetic. Nuff said, her young age is prolly gonna be holding her back. Top 20 lar..

Jesse Langseth.


What the heck she doing on my list? Wait, this gal is even on the show? Hmm, didnt notice. Anyways, Top 15? Cuz' she's looking at me all funny. It's scary.

Kristen McNamara.


She looks like a whore, fortunately she doesn't dress like one and unfortunately isn't one. Kristen's got some self-esteem issues and isn't comfortable being who she is. Other than a great voice, nuff' said. Top 25 me thinks.

Lil Browns


Other than that weirdly, oddly rapper-wannabe name, she's a great singer and reminds us a lot of Fantasia without the "I-smoked-too-much-crack" kinda voice. My personal choice amongst the ladies to win this year's American Idol.

Matt Brietzke.


Lol. He ain't really that great a singer but I put him in here cuz he looks like a hillbilly! And we all know Hillbillies are entertaining and fun!! They go fishing with grenades and eat bullets for breakfast! Top 30 before he gets knocked out.

Michael Sarver.


My personal 'teddy-bear' on the show. Your typical Southern gentleman SUPER-SIZED! There's something about this guy that makes him so teddybear-ish till you just wanna squeeze him and cuddle him till your heart melts to goo. He got a good voice, I think and an irresistable kawaii-desu charm about him. Sad to say he might not last long in this competition. Top 15 at least.

Nathaniel Marshall.


OMFG! I've got pepper spray! Stay away from me you weird, queer-emo-wannabe drama/drag queen! Nuff' said.

Nick Mitchell.


You might know him as Norman Gentle, his alter-ego. And he is truly the wild card of the group I tell you, 5 mins of watching him sing and you might just laugh your ass off. And yes, he can freakin' sing! Top 20, baby!

Scott Macintyre.


Behold, the next Stevie Wonder! Visually impaired, he's undoubtedly one of my favourites to win this year's American Idol. People will surely be able to symphatize with him and his strings of strong performances throughout Hollywood Week proves him to be a tough competitor. Top 5 all the way!

Tatiana Del Toro.


What. An. ANNOYING. BITCH. Drama Queen to the EXTREME!!! And dear Lord God, don't even let me get started on her giggle and super-ubah drama moments. Top 30 and you're out, bitch!

And that basically concludes my thoughts on this year's contestants. So, if I bad-mouthed your favourites in any way, I'm so not gonna apologize. Bluek =P =P =P

I know we're all gonna be rooting for our favourites once again this season and wish all these contestants the best of luck. Whee~~

AMERICAN IDOL POWAHHH!
