I don’t want to try to do the “live” blogging thing of American Idol this time around. That said, I am so very happy that this year is obviously going to be better than last year. I was very depressed over last year’s season as compared to the year before when Daughtry should have won.
It seems like the contestants are much more invested and serious this time around. And no one, thank goodness, did the stupid beat box thing.
I love Simon … dude is ruthless. I can’t believe he told a 17 year old kid he looked “haunted” though. That was cold. The guy that he told wasn’t “memorable” … he was right on and orange suit dude… Why do people fight with Simon? It does not come off well with America. The other judges and the audience may boo…but everyone at home is like… yep, that’s right Simon.
Am I wrong?
But, in all honesty, the guy with the dread locks (from Rockwall Texas) … that was my favorite performance tonight. The last rocker guy did great too. Oh and the guy from Grand Prairie TX … don’t know that he was one of the best but I hope he does well too.
It will definitely be an interesting season. I look forward to hearing the ladies tomorrow night.

Yeah, I liked the guy with dreds, too….
Some good girls. I think the young asian girl was really good. I really liked her. Ramiele.
I don’t know. Sometimes I think Simon is dead on, just with no tact. Others I have no idea where he is coming from. Sometimes I think they sound GREAT and he hates them (or should I say their performance). Others, they sound totally off key and all over the place - and he loves them.
Oh well….
That’s why I like him. He is honest, quirky, mean, opinionated, unpredictably predictable.
