Idol Update

Have I talked about American Idol in a while? Well, here's my thoughts:

David Radford - Gone and good riddance. I can't believe I hated the Crooner, but he was more Sinatra than Crosby so he had to go.

Bucky Convington - Bucky C. Redneck will you please go home? I'm so over this dude. He can't sing and he's just a horrible embarrassment to the South. He killed any shot he had with me by singing Skynyrd and Garth poorly. He ruined both of them. DEAR GOD! He's a twin. There are two of them. I'm going to have nightmares.

Sway - What happened dude? He had so much potential. Or so I thought. I guess I was wrong. He certainly did not perform well the two weeks he was on.

Taylor Hicks - I still look forward to what he's going to sing, but almost for its train wreck factor. Don't get me wrong, I think he has a lovely voice. He's just so ... odd. He jerks around a little too much. Update to the update: He knocked it out of the park this week, herky jerky dancin' and all.

Gedeon McKinney - He's getting better every week. I think he'll make it through, but he shouldn't win. I like his ginormous smile, even if Simon doesn't. He sang very well tonight.

Ace Young - Meh. He's cute for American Idol, but he's not the best singer. He sang Father Figure very well and then did OK last week. He needs to bring it home this week. What am I talking about? This is AI. He'd have to burn a photo of Jesus while singing a Nazi anthem in order to get voted off. Even then, the girlies would probably think, "Ooh, he's a hot dangerous rebel. Swoon." Update on the update: Ace did almost what I predicted. He sang a Michael Jackson song in falsetto. Bad choice, but he won't pay for it.

Chris Daughtry - OK. So right after I make fun of the girlies for swooning over Ace, I'm gonna swoon for Chris. He may not have the best voice, but he sings the heck out of rock songs. He blew me away the first two weeks. Tonight he wasn't as good. But you know what? He's BALD! And he wears it well. He's no The Yul, but he's still hot. (Sadly, he also looks like Joey Lawrence. Check out those links if you don't believe me. I think he'd rather be compared to The Yul.)

Elliot Yamin - I saved my favorite for last. Elliot is by far the best singer in the competition, including the girls. I love to close my eyes (mostly cuz he's no Chris) and just listen to what he sings. He's blown me away two weeks in a row. I fully expect him to do so again tonight.
