Oops, I was tired and didn't feel like blogging til now. It's 8:45 and Amy Davis is singing.
8:45 - Amy Davis
Amy Davis? I don't know you. I really don't know you. Not even from announcing the final 24. Oh well. I have no idea if she's good...well she's entirely nondescript looking. Like all the other random sorta pretty girls from the past. Boring song. I think her voice could be pretty but this song is boring. Pick a song that everyone knows and then America will vote for you because they don't really care if you're the best singer, only that you have fun and entertain them. Her lips are vibrating...weird. Lol Paula said "the camera loves you" that is instant death. American doesn't care about no camera - plus her hair is fug. Ok, she's out. Oh I feel kind of bad for her...It's like you went on for 10 minutes. Poor thing.
8:50 - Brook White
Oh its the "good girl." Lol I was typing that just as she said she was the "good girl" with air quotes. Anyway she's a good singer I guess. She's also endorsed by Liken which made a musical version of the story of Esther. Oh my favorite thing in the world. Anyway...I think she sounds like the singers nowadays. That's a plus because she's current but do we need another person who sounds like every person out there? Whatever. I don't care either way. Lol of course Paula thinks she's original. I really don't think she is. Lol "Washing up liquid." Neutrogena Commercial!!!
Random comment: I love it when I push the ottoman away from the couch and Stella jumps on the ottoman and sits there for several minutes wiggling around like she's going to leap on to the couch but is afraid. Then she does and she always makes it and then I throw her back on the floor because I'm eating.
9:00 - Alexandrea Lushington
What a name. I don't know her either. I must have not been paying attention during auditions. Um...I'm still bored. I don't know this song either. She sounds kind of weirdo. Randy loves it...ok. Paula loves it...ok Oh god, the entrance...I was going to comment on how cheese ball that entrance is. Thank you Simon...you agree with me. I thought it was weirdo. Thanks. 2 out of 3 like you...but those 2 don't count.
9:10 - Katy Malloy
Britney girl. She's really good at that crap. She sounds like Celine Dion. What is this song? But I likes her voice. Even though its a ballad...She just hit a gross note though. I want her to do more Britney impersonations. She could totally be a Britney impersonator for real. When you do you, the lights go off. Aw poor girl.
9:17 - Asia'h Epperson
She's cute and she's singing a song people know. And she has a back story. I think America will like her. She's got this weird hoarse thing in her voice which isn't exactly bad...but I guess it makes her sound unique. Judges agree.
9:25 - Ramiele Malubay
Crazy name. Asian represent! Apparently she was a Jasmine Trias fan...Jasmine was sucky. Hopefully she doesn't do the whole inconsistent thing like Jasmine. Jasmine would be good for 3/4 of a song and then suck for the other 1/4. Ok...dramatic entrance. She sounds like she has an accent suddenly. She sounds like she's trying too hard. She sounded better at her audition. She sounds better now in the middle of the song. Lol Jasmine Trias syndrome. Ok, Simon says she's consistent. Lol. apparently I sucks at listening to singers. But that's ok I still liked it. She's a true asian girl...the shoes and makeup, duh.
Random Comment: Who is even next? I don't even know anyone else...Oh some girl named Sayeesha? I don't even know these people or how to spell their name I have to wait until their names come up on the screen so I can write who they are...true story.
9:35 - Syesha Mercado
I spelled your name wrong...Oh you're the voice girl. Whatever happens to everyone. Randy says she's got a powerful voice...Honestly I wasn't watching. Just reading other things on the internets.
Random Comment: There can't possibly be other people...Oh yeah, Carly hasn't gone yet, but is there anyone else? I can't remember anyone.
9:46 - Carly Smithson
Hey she addressed the album thing! So shut it people. We all know now. Lol American is not going to vote for her and my awesome Carly Hennessy shirt will mean nothing. She belts everything. I don't know if that's a good thing. Oh Carly she reminds me of my teenybopper days. Lol Carly's dad is funny. lol Captain Fantastic. He didn't get it. It's ok I don't think it was great. Oh no 2 against 1...but once again those 2 don't count. Oh she doesn't not look happy. She has a creepy smile.
9:52 - Recap
I remember you people...Nothing too exciting.
Ok, forget what I said about being excited about tonight. I'm excited for the top 12.
Back to writing about my "fave" show. Ok, it's not my fave show but I can't help watching it each and every season. I will continue to offer insightful commentary on the glory that is...American Idol.
Ok, finally we got to the real competition. Too many weeks of auditions make me want to vomit. I don't know if I'm excited about anyone this season. Although I did meet Robbie Carrico in his awesome band Boyz N Girlz United back in the day. Teenybopper Holla!
And I was a member of Carly Smithson's (formerly Hennessy) streetteam back in the day...Teenybopper Holla!
But frankly, I don't really care. I guess we'll just have to wait and see who gets my vote (hypothetically of course, I don't vote unless its extreme circumstances...such as me wanting Carrie Underwood to beat Bo Bice in the final).
Now let's talk about the real show....
David Hernandez
I don't know you but you're a good singer...let's see if anyone cares. America sometimes forgives a weirdo guy if they have a good voice...Best Example...my hometown idol Elliot Yamin!
Chikeze
Chikeze Eze!!! Award for best name goes to... Anyway, I thought it was a mess in the beginning so I stopped listening. Oops, my bad.
David Cook
I tend to hate rockers so lets see how you do....Gross looks...he's channeling the grossest of Constantine habits. You're grossing me out even though the judges like you.
Jason Yeager
Sup...I remember you from Making the Band...ok maybe not you but I remember your name. But you look BORING...Phil Stacy style...even if you have that "edgy" streak in your hair. Let's see if your singing makes up for it?
Nah...boring. I'm asleep while typing.
Robbie Carrico
Hey...I know you. Lol boy girl group...apparently he dated Britney Spears back in the day. Makes me lol. He's authentic rock star? He's authentic grease ball. lol What is with all these commercial songs...but he's not as creepy as David Cook. He's this seasons Bo Bice and David Cook is Constantine Maroulis. The only difference is Robbie actually cleans up nice and Bo is actually fugly. I can't say I appreciate the weird ways he's holding his mic or that fugly bandana...but he could have been worse. I'll have to dig out that autograph if he becomes famous.
Judges? Hey they likes it...even Simon. Ew...looks like Justin Timberlake...lol actually he kinda use to look like him back in the boy band years.
David Archuleta
This kid doesn't need American Idol. He just needs to get a job on Disney and become the next Zach Effron. Ok his performance? Not all that impressive ...a little fruity, a littte all over the place. Pitchy at times but not horrible. But I'm thinking he'll stick around. I mean fugly Kevin Covais made it for a long time even though he could barely sing. (Yes, I will continue making reference to past idol contestants). Judges? Brilliant? eh...I'm going to get some food instead of sitting here. BRB Simon says its the best? Well we haven't had great performances but really I must be listening to something different. The judges and I disagree often (Fantasia?). Lol this kid is funny. He's like "ew girls...ew people like me...lolz"
Danny Noriega
Sup...this kid is actually a good singer. You don't really expect it because he's such a diva. Lol he wants it to be hot. So far so good. Lol this kid is funny. Elvis. lol his dance moves make me laugh. lol Simon hates it. Too bad. I think it was kind of funny cute. Oh well. Oh god they are fighting again. I hate when they do this. lol "some people weren't liking it." Danny has a "oh no he din't' look and lol at Simon's face.
Luke Menard
I don't know you. You're kind of cute but I don't know who you are. But you have fugly hair. Ok I still don't know who you are. Let's see if you can sing...ew...is it me or is he totally off? Plus he's wearing hobo clothes. Ok I'm gonna walk Stella instead...
Colton Berry
I missed you. Sorry.
Garrett Haley
Um...I don't know you either. You are not funny. You have gross hair. Weird enunciation on "I'll Be" lol my mum...sup at his accent...He's from Ohio. Guess that's how they sound in Ohio. ...I might be asleep. I don't know. Why do people pick the most boring songs ever. Poor guy. Lol he looks haunted. I like that he's chill but he really is boring
Jason Castro
Apparently he was on Cheyenne...which I never watched because that girl looked like a big brat. Glad she isn't around anymore...not that she was all that popular to begin with. He's playing the geetar. He's a hippie. Lol he makes you smile. I get a head bob while he sings. lol and he has a this funny face. Sup Simon liked it. He's got a "der wafflehaus" face.
Michael Johns
You are old but you are Australian...we'll see.Lol Light my fire...this always reminds me of Will Young (British Idol). He's a little pretentious isn't he? Scarf? Necessary? I don't know. We'll see...yeah over trying. I'm still going to wait and see. Not totally sold despite the fact that hes Australian.
Ok so that was kind of whatever...I'm excited fo the girls tomorrow.
2008 is the Year of the Rat. Which animal year were you born in?
Year of the Rat. Born 24 years ago. It goes in cycles of 12. So those babies being born this year are 24 entire years younger than me. That is gross.
Wow, so many posts in so little time. Anyway, I've made a few things recently and thought I'd post two of them.
Ceviche
I got in the mood for it so I thought I'd look around for some recipes. I ended up combining two recipes for this one. It was quite delicious. I decided to change it up and add some sea scallops and I think that was my favorite part.

Tyler's Texas Chili
I was watching Food Network as usual and caught the episode this was on. It looked yummy. Chili without beans, my favorite. It's very yummy and meaty and full of flavor. I especially liked the homemade chili powder. It smelled quite lovely.

I've been buying an unusual amount of cd's recently. I have no idea why. I do download music. But for some reason I've just wanted to buy cd's recently. So I thought I'd share because they all seem to fall into a pattern. They're all female vocalist/singer-songwriter types.
Ok, I love Natasha. I downloaded her British version of this cd a couple months ago. But the american release is different. Anyway. She's adorable in person.
Here's one of the songs I like from her album. It's about having freckles! Ok, so its about loving your imperfections. But really, its about having freckles:
She's got a pretty voice. But more importantly, she sings in French.
Short, but sweet song in French:
Kate Nash. I waited for this album for a while. She's just funny. I really liked a line from her first single "Foundations." It went like this. "You say I must eat so many lemons because I'm so bitter. I say 'I'd rather be with your friends mate because they are much fitter.'" I love it.
Here's another song I like. It's funny. It's all about not telling someone you like them and then seeing them hook up with someone else and denying you care. But thinking you'd be good together. Story of someone's life...:
I saw the video for "Love Song" a while ago and liked it. Then I saw her on lots of things. Most recently on the Rhapsody commercial. Anyway, I finally bought the cd because it was on sale for $7.99 at Best Buy today.
Here is a cute song. She's got a really pretty voice.
Ok, that's it for now. Enjoy the girly-music.
Show us your favorite artist.
Childe Hassam. He was an American impressionist
Here are a few of his paintings:
