Idol Chatter

After two rousing evenings of performances...I'm ready to predict the people's choice for top 5 boys and girls to be announced tomorrow night. Apparently America picks 10, then the judges pick 10...then we have our AI top 20. New twist this season, but I like it!

Boys:

1. Jun Bug Gamboa--thought his performance was just okay, he's a crowd favorite. So America agrees with me...not that great. Try again next year.

2. James Durban--can't stand his screaming Adam-Lambert style, another crowd fave. The only thing going for this kid in my book is that he upped my % correct.

3. Scotty McCreery--wish you were as cute as the John Wayne kid, but your voice rocks, for country. Yee Haw!

4. Jacob Lusk--a bit flamboyant for my taste, but I do love his voice. Another one correct, time will tell how big the flames burn for this one...

5. Casey Abrams--I'm still confused about him, but he can really sing. Old squinty-eyes made it through, almost the same as old blue-eyes??

**Well I must say I am thrilled by America's choice of Paul McDonald!! I really like this guy, I wanted him to make it through, what a smile!! Reminds me of Ross and his "white" teeth.

Girls:

1. Lauren Turner--great powerhouse voice, and she seems real. Ah, what happened??

2. Ashton Jones (aka: Jonesy)--she is a diva and a great performer! Made it by the skin of her teeth.

3. Thia Megia--a captivating performance, really caught my attention. Loved the MJ reference. Cha-ching! I'm starting to like her a bit.

4. Lauren Alaina--she is fun, she's young and a natural entertainer. Double cha-ching!

5. Pia Toscana--she sang like I was hoping Julie Z. would, blew her out of the water! Triple hitter!

We'll see if my average goes up tomorrow night. Can I beat my previous 73%? Well, 7/10, so just a 70%. Not as good as I was hoping for....

Big surprise, I was completely wrong about the judges picks. So 3 "wild-card" picks. Glad they kept Ashton Jones, but I could do without the others. I've just about got the leader board ready for tomorrow night's big show... 3/8/11
