It has been a while since American Idol Season 7 started sometime last year. It is now only five contestants left, and just two weeks away from the Grand Finale. And they will be singing songs by Neil Diamond, who will also take part as their mentor. It is interesting to think what song choices the contestants will make, as you can also see on this site.

That reminds me of Carly Smithson who is voted off last week after the contestants performed songs by Andrew Lloyd Webber. In my opinion, she was not the one who should got voted off last week. Regardless of how human people think Brooke White is just because she is brave enough to restart her song after her first try, in my opinion she is the one who should have go home instead.

Last week we got another surprise from the American Idol result show, Michael Johns is going home despite people predicting him to be in the top 3 singers. Honestly though, this far into the competition it is getting quite hard to predict who is going home and who is going to stay. Although in my opinion, based on the performance, Michael is not the one who should be going home, not yet. Who should be going home then? Read the rest of this entry »

You know, using the same format for my post title about American Idol is getting repetitive. So I think why not play a little with the Title. As you can see for yourself, I think by reading the title you’ll already know who did well last night. In my opinion, David Archuleta’s rendition of Dolly Parton’s Smoky Mountain Memories is his best performance to date, even better than when he sings John Lennon’s Imagine.

Overall the contestants performed okay. But a few did standout from the rest, namely David Archuleta, David Cook and Michael Johns. I love how Michael Johns improvised on his’ song choice ending. Just like Simon said, it was his best performance so far, and I agree with him. As for David Cook, I enjoyed his performance overall. Oh, I also happened to read that David Cook was taken to a hospital after last night show Read the rest of this entry »

Oh dear, it has been a while since I last wrote my take of the American Idol Contestants’ Performance here. I sure missed a lot of opportunity to write about them. My last post about AI is about a week ago, when there are still 11 contestants left. But now they are only 9 contestants left from that 11, time sure flies fast, doesn’t it?

The last 2 weeks saw David Hernandez, Amanda Overmyer, and Chikezie failed to get enough votes to keep them staying. I already write about why I think David Hernandez is the first to go on my last post about American Idol. Actually it is better considered a semi-post rather than a full post about American Idol, but you get the idea. Oh, I also happened to read somewhere in the internet that David Hernandez is auditioning for a part in Broadway’s hit musical ‘Rent’. Read the rest of this entry »

Yesterday I almost missed all of the American Idol Top 12 Performances Show! My office held an after office hour party to celebrate the birthday party of several people from the management position. I am the lucky few of the non-management positioned person to be invited. It is an honor of course and I thought that, worst case scenario, I’d already be home by 22.30, just in time to watch the show. But sometimes thing doesn’t always go the way you wanted, and that was the case for last night. As it happened, somehow the traffic to the place where the party was held is having a severe traffic jam. Because of that, the party which is supposed to start at 18.30P.M didn’t start until 20.00 since almost all of the guests are late because of the traffic jam.
