Elliptical Idol

I ended up exercising DURING American Idol last night which severely challenged my ability to hear or comprehend what was happening. Pretty much, when I exercise, the goal is to keep breathing and stay ON the machine. Therefore, my responses are in no particular order.
1. Lakisha - It was good, but really not my favorite of hers.
2. Phil - Not sure I liked the song, but also not sure I could focus on anything but the Ace/Constantine eyes. I love Phil.
3. Gina - HATED the outfit. Really hated it. But I liked the song and I thought she did it well - I agree with the judgnes that it was her best performance yet.
4. Melinda - As usual, I loved her. I loved the flippy hair too. And though it pains me to do so, I'll have to agree with Simon on the outfit.
5. Haley - Speaking of outfits - at least she was wearing one this week. And I almost liked it. Wasn't crazy about the song...just relieved she was wearing something.
6. Blake - I REALLY liked his song and his look this week. Finally, pants I liked! :) They're right - he's the best guy.
7. Chris S. - He's starting to slip in my book. I don't remember a thing about his song, so apparently it did not make an impression.
8. Chris R. - I love Chris R., but I'm worried for him because his voice just isn't up to par with everyone else. But I want him to stay!
9. Jordin - I absolutely hated her outfit - way too bulky. But I loved her song and her spunk. She is so stinking cute and energetic when she sings!
10. Of course...Sanajaya saved until last. I have no idea what he sang or how he did because I was too busy staring at the ponyhawk. WHAT was that??? Good GRIEF. I have no words.
All in all I thought it was a pretty boring week. Maybe that was just because I didn't know any of the music and I couldn't hear it very well above my own fight to stay alive. Or maybe it was just a bad week? Or maybe it was Fashion Idol? I don't know.

I would not be surprised to see either Chris go home tonight, that said I hope it's Chris S! I love that song Haylee did, it's Cyndi Lauper. Love Gwen Stefani as well, HOT HOT HOT

I figured you'd be happy Gwen was the singer of the week. I'm with you - I hope it's Chris S. And I hate that because from the start, I really liked him.

Phats said...

Yep I liked him too but more for his sense of humor then his singing. I predicted Chris R on my blog and I am sticking to that prediction

Well, since Emily was actually in bed by just about 8:00, I got to see the whole thing, at the proper time with no interruptions (a minor miracle indeed).

Haley is pretty but totally forgettable, Chris S. is on his way out, I fear, Lakisha didn't have her best night and Sanjaya...well, all of his performances either remind of a creepier Michael Jackson (I know, hard to make him creepier) or a bad high-school musical performance. He can sing okay, but he's not even close to being in the same league as the others.

I was pleasantly surprised with Gina's song. I think she can sing, she's just struggling to find her fit, sort of like Blake. Blake is the best guy vocalist, but still, none of them hold a candle to Malinda.

Oh and I think for my next hairstyle (after my current cut grows back out) I'm going to go for the pony hawk. That was perhaps the weirdest hairstyle I've seen in a while.

gosh, I wish I had your motivation to work out while TV is on

I agree with Nutz impressive indeed

Christina - good prediction! I'll look to you for direction from now on. :) And I would LOVE to see you in a ponyhawk. That would make me laugh.

And to Nutz and Phats - really...don't be too impressed. I found out last minute that one of my friends needed a place to stay for the night, so I had to hurry and get my exercising done before she came over. So I had to multitask.
