Top 11 Performs

Kicked off last week: Brandon Rogers. NOT SANJAYA!? WTF?! UGH! I was too disgusted last week to write anything.

BRITISH INVASION WEEK

I have pictures this week! I didn't decide to start taking pictures until Chris, and none of his were good...but the rest I got some good ones! So yay! Maybe I'll do that every week...take pictures of the tv, haha.


Haley - "Something About Love" - It seems to lack something, and every time she moves, she drifts off. I didn't like it. Seems I'm the Simon tonight after hearing Randy and Paula's comments.

Chris R. - "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying" - I liked how they opened it. The lights were very right for the mood. It was very mellow. I thought it was alright, I don't really have much of an opinion about it.

Stephanie - "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" - (long song titles tonight) I think she could sing this better, but I still think it is really good. The blue dress looks really good on her!

Stephanie listening to the judges.

Full shot of Stephanie and the judges. Pretty dress!

Blake - "Time of the Season" - very groovy lights. eek, a note a little off and makes you cringe. Those upper notes...seems a little weird. Go beat-boxing! Haha, i liked the little thing at the end there. :-P He's fun. Simon, "A million times better than last week!" He did make it more modern without changing it too much. HAHAHA, Ryan sang. :-P

Being helped with his performance.

Lakisha - "Diamonds are Forever" - She looks so pretty! :-) That was MARVELOUS! She's so fantastic! She's so wonderful! YAY!!! Shut up Simon! She was great! Not too old!!! :-D

Singing her song.

Full shot of the pretty lady!

Phil - "Tobacco Road" - That was really good. It was really fun, and he really gave a lot of energy for it. It was great! Yay! "Third Division Bar Band performance" - Simon...what's that? haha

Rockin' it...or something...haha.

Jordin - "I Who Have Nothing" - Very dramatic beginning. She's so pretty! I love the straightened hair! She's great! I really liked that! It was very pretty song. YAY!

Singing her heart out.

lalalalalalaaaa

Sanjaya - "You Really Got Me" The wild side? What's with that girl sobbing? It wasn't as bad as usual...but it still wasn't good. Ugh. Geez...

Sanjaya "rockin' it"

Gina - "Paint It Black" - SHE IS AWESOME!!! I loved it! She's so fabulous!!! I love all the people with red in their hair supporting her. Her new hair cut is cute! Simon...torture? NO WAY! Simon is not right this time man. That was great!!! (but i hate her shirt...)

I do not like that tongue ring, ew!

Chris S. - "She's Not There" - Niiice...start in the crowd! Hahaha "Bringing Chubby Back" :-P GO CHRIS!!!! YAY! GO Chris! He's fantastic! :-)

YAY CHRIS!

Melinda - "As Long As He Needs Me" - Why is that girl sobbing so much? GEEZ! GO MELINDA!!!!! It was a little boring tonight, but she sang it great!!! :-)

Melinda with Ryan

The girl who was sobbing the entire show. Haha.

Tonight overall was pretty great. Please DO NOT vote for Sanjaya. He needs to go. But I'm afraid since he didn't totally blow tonight, he'll still be here.

GOSH!

Taylor out!

My Cowboy!!!

Just a little fun with FD Flickr Toys!

Top 12 Performs

Diana Ross Night

I'll type while they are singing it, and post it after the show is over! Enjoy!

Brandon - "You Can't Hurry Love" - Forgot his words? Had a little squeak? Um...no, this is where you bring your game...he left it in his dressing room.

Melinda - "Home" She rocked it. She was wonderful! She could wear sweats and sing, she'd still be so wonderful and everyone would vote for her! I know dresses and high heels can be such a pain.

Chris S. - "Endless Love" - As much as I love him...I did not like that version of the song. The singing was good...the song is really great...the version...SUCKED!!! And it did sound a lot like Coldplay's "Speed."

Gina - "Love Child" - I didn't like her necklace...it's too big! Yuck. And she needs to lose the tongue ring. I hate those things. Aaaand...her make-up is a little weird. But she sang the song great! I really liked it.

Sanjaya - "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" - What's with the earrings? And is he trying to look like Chris Sligh?! He is just so lacking. He lacks everything good. Go Randy!!!! "Thank goodness for the background singers!" Paula...who cares if he is sweet? HE CAN'T SING WELL ENOUGH FOR AMERICAN IDOL! How the heck did he get this far?! Hahaha, Simon's comment, "You're very brave..." VOTE HIM OFF!!!! as in...don't vote for him thanks!

Haley - "Missing You" - She kinda has that Katharine McPhee look tonight. Ew....what's with that dress though?! That ribbon looks really messed up. I'm not really liking this song. She is really pretty, but I don't like her performance...it was boring. Simon's response is surprising! He liked it? She messed up her words? I didn't even notice...shhh!!! Don't confess that!

Phil - "I'm Going To Make You Love Me" - I wonder what he looks like with hair now. Some of those notes it looked like he was going to eat me! It was alright though, I thought. It was fun. Seems the judges didn't think it was that fun. Haha, Simon will say anything that doesn't agree with Paula.

Lakisha - "God Bless the Child" - KiKi! She's a true performer at heart. You can just see it in her, she belongs on the stage. I thought it was really good. Randy, "Unbelievable vocal...that was sensational." Yeah she is!!!!!! Simon, "Performed like a star, outstanding." She is a star! Go Lakisha!!!!!!!!! She's great. Yay Kiki!

Blake - "You Keep Me Hanging On" - Haha, fun lights!!!!!!!!! It was alright. I didn't love it...But the lights were so fun. Hehe. :-P I agree with Simon, he didn't sound as good as he has in the past, but he'll be back and fabulous again! :-)

Stephanie - "Love Hangover" - Interesting dress...I don't know. The big notes seemed a little off. I didn't like it. I'm not sure about it. She forgot the words too? I couldn't tell with her either.

Chris R. - "The Boss" - Stop moving your head so much Chris!!! The background reminds me of St. Patty's Day! Which is fitting, because that is Saturday. But...it's just awful. When will it end? No no no. Sorry, Chris, didn't get my vote tonight.

Jordin - "If We Hold On Together" - I love her dress. She looks so pretty. She is singing it really well. Go Jordin! Though, one note was a little iffy...eek! But I thought it was good! Slightly boring, but good! Careful her dress doesn't blow up! Wow, a three girl race!

*note -- The sound guys sucked tonight...I vote them off!*

Overall - the girls brought it, and the guys...not so much. I think, and hope, it is Sanjaya going home tomorrow night! Top votes...Lakisha wins this one, and Melinda and Jordin close behind!

Taylor Out!

Top 12!!!!!!!!

AAAANNNDDD here is the top 12:

Blake Lewis - YAY! He's a great singer, I'm really glad he made the top 12, but he was definitely going to get in anyway.

Gina Glocksen - I love her. She's fabulous. I thought it was really funny when Ryan implied there was something between her and Chris when they were holding hands and she was like, shut up! Boyfriend upstairs! Haha. She's great!

Brandon Rogers - I don't really like him, but yay for him getting in the top 12.

Chris Richardson - He's alright. My brother really likes him.

Haley Scarnato - Her getting through was a surprise, but good for her!

Jordin Sparks - Yay! She is so sweet. Totally deserved a spot in the top 12!

Chris Sligh - No surprise here! He's the greatest ever!

Lakisha Jones - No surprise here either, she's incredible.

Melinda Doolittle - No surprise here either! She's fabulous and was definitely getting into the top 12!

Phil Stacey - My mom wanted him gone, but no! He's sticking around! I like him, he's not the best, but I think he should definitely be in the top 12!

Stephanie Edwards - She sure can sing, but she doesn't really stand out to me. So we'll see how she does.

Sanjaya Malakar - WHAT?! WHAT?! Stop saving him people, he CAN NOT SING WELL, he is weak and not top 12 material. He knows it! STOP VOTING FOR HIM! thanks.

Can't wait for next week!!!! :-)

SPRING BREAK!

So...this years Spring Break won't take us anywhere exciting...as we are staying home, but I'm sure it will be fun nonetheless! Last year was a blast up in DC, we saw so much stuff, and I enjoyed spending so much time with Kevin. This year going somewhere just never got off its feet...we thought about a lot of places, but in the end, we are horrible at saving money. Haha. So...we're home, and it's okay. Because we get to work a lot, and get a lot of money for it, and then do whatever we want around here with all the students gone! It's a nice break, and we'll definately do something fun this summer anyway. We've got two more months of classes, then it's SUMMER! Dawn's wedding is coming up in May, and I'm sure that will be a blast! I really can't wait. She found her wedding dress, and our bridesmaids dresses, so it'll be fun to see those.

I was bored and decided to ramble, but i should probably get some work done, haha. I'm sure I will come back and ramble some more!
