I'm BACK! This time I'm writing from the East...my new home, it's been a whirlwind of a couple weeks but I'm now in Ontario and ready to voice my AI thoughts!!!
Just watched tonights show, I wanted to blog along but I left it for later...I'm hitting up rickey.org for some video recaps so I can do my normal thoughts as I go. Before I get started I have to say WHY IS JACOB STILL HERE? Hasn't Vegas called yet? Cruise Ship?
Alright...Top 5...GO!
James - 30 Seconds from Mars. A bit rough at the start but once he got into he got to the high five happy chorus he captured me...James has over come so much, he's a young guy trying to follow his passions after life drew him what some might think the short stick. I'm all about the passion and love that he's following it, dare I say James for the win?
Jacob - No Air - OH MY GOSH...NO NO NO...WRONG! Did he really fist point pump, just wrong...as they would say it was a hot mess, and hot only because I was holding my AIR so much my face was turning a shade of tomato not known in May! Jacob please do not attempt to sing and crotch grab (or side leg, really your wang wasn't there we could see with those pants) ever again! I won't even comment on the singing.
Lauren - Flat on the Floor - I was hyped when I heard she'd be singing it. Killed it girl! After taking a leap last week with the vocals you could see her confidence soar.
Scotty - Good job, again this kid makes me like country but by the end I was wondering how many times he song the word GONE...I did like though
Haley - You and I - I've seen Gaga do this song before on YouTube and anyone who knows me knows I'm not a Gaga fan. Talented YES but I've just not been a huge fan of hers. Haley though got me counting down until midnight when I could buy this track on iTunes (yes I do that folks, each week! You should too!) I don't care what the judges say, this girl has been the most improved and has really shown who she is over the weeks...that is what American Idol is!
James - Without You - My ONE weakness in life is when a guy cries! I'm not even re-watching this clip right now because I will cry...it was Perfect! PERFECT! I love this song and his version of it was amazing...I can't wait to hear the full of it! The wetness of his eyes turning into tears was so heartfelt. It can't be easy being away from your young child and lady but again James does it for the passion and I credit his family for sticking by him cause I know few do when it comes to passion or money.
Jacob - Love Hurts - I'm still laughing from his last performance. Good tune Jacob, you have the pipes but your grooves cracked me up too much...BUH BYE
Lauren - Unchained Melody - When I hear the "THERE" song line up I was wondering when RyanDan (yes the old B4-4 amazing singers) were going to come out. Lauren...AMAZING as always, again she's beaming confidence and looked beautiful. With Haley coming up hard can Lauren raise the bar enough to make it to the finals? I hope so cause I called her (like Steven) the moment I saw her in Nashville....DAMN I need to go to Nashville!!!
Scotty - Always On My Mind - Wasn't wowed...Sorry Scotty, you are so good but maybe the country is killing me to make you top 3. I do have to point out that they always mention how young Lauren is, Scotty is too...dude is gonna go far!
Haley - House of the Rising Sun - First off, story about this song! Do you know what the House of the Rising Sun is? It's NOT Sun....it's SON...or maybe it's SUN because of the sunshine in the morning. The House of the Rising Sun/Son is the House fathers take their sons to "to become a man!" in other words, in New Orleans where the song came from, it's a Whore House!!! Now for more of a personal lesson (yes I learned the above from my Parental Units!) BUT they sung it to House drawn Carriages while staying at one of the old Whore Houses in New Orleans...when the carriage would go along the street they would see it coming and start singing. Because it's one of the cities I REALLY want to visit one day I hope I can do the same HAHAHA now back to Haley....KILLED IT! I want to say Lauren and James for the final BUT Haley is sneaking her way up on Lauren and it's a race for the next 2 weeks!
I've never been so excited about a full on Top 5 of Idol....if Jacob was already gone I could have said a Top 7! This year has been crazy. I want to know how they did it! Did they know The Voice and X Factor was coming and pull in better people? I don't get it cause these people have always been out there....what ever it is I'm so excited for the tour. I've gone ever year to either Seattle or Vancouver but now I'll be able to go to Toronto!!! Seattle has kinda spoiled us though as year after year we've met a number of the Idols, heck even become friends with some over the years...it's so crazy to see what some of them have done since the show.
Voted off - Jacob
Bottom 3 - Jacob, Scotty and Ugggg I'm going to say Lauren because I see the fans online rooting for Haley
