Sitting on a hotel bed, here in NJ...watching TVLand....wondering how our boys did tonite! I'll check in tomorrow nite to see what your reactions were.

Who did the best? Lucy liked Blake. Did he "beatbox" it?
Who did the worst?

What songs did you like?

Did Ryan get any jabs in on Simon!?

Gnite all!

Happy Idlin'!!!

I might be on a train going to NYC tomorrow evening...I might miss AM ID. If that happens, please be sure to clue me in guys! Ya'll have to sort of carry my blog for me...pick up my slack. Hopefully we'll be sitchy-ated in a hotel room by 8pm but who knows. I also hope to be around Wed. even. and Th. but again...I just don't know the agenda at present.

But I know between CM, Ruby, Randy, Petra and Lucy, Junebug and ALL you wonderful people...you'll help me out this week!!!

I'll be there in spirit...no doubt about it. I'll be writing my post this weekend...albeit a bit late.

I'll be going on a work related commercial shoot this week with fiance. And as I one day want to be in acting/voice-over work...this event should be good for me in regards to learning what happens in the background when commercials are being shot, the good, bad and ugly of "the industry"!?

But for now...I bid you a fond adieu all my fellow AM IDs!!!!

I have never, ever voted legitimately for American Idol. And it never made a difference before but after tonite I could just kick myself. AJ, AJ, AJ!!!!! Ai ai ai! America....how you could send this kid home! And why oh why is Antonella still on the show. Next time she's on, close your eyes and tell me she deserves to be on that show!!!!

I think I'll start voting!!!! Leslie...yeh, I knew she and Alaina were going goodbye. I knew that American Males would keep Barba. I'm sorry to see Nick go but that wasn't a surprise to me. I still would by a CD of his....and AJ BAYBEEEEE!

I liked the opening number JOY TO THE WORLD...ahhh the memories. That song came out when I was nine. Some of ya'll remember it too, don't you! I remember swinging as high as I could and then jumping out while singing it!

Did you notice they played a Chris Daughtry song for the exit song...I guess it's this seasons "BAD DAY" song!!??

What are your thoughts friends.

Am I being too rough on Antonella? Do you agree with the decisions?

GINA....WHO IS THAT SCREECHING IN THAT BACKGROUND??? SHUT UP! HEART WOULD BE PROUD. OH THE BACKGROUND SINGER'S NAME IS CHARLOTTE....SHHH CHARLOTTE. WELL, IT CERTAINLY SHOWCASED HER ROCK VOICE. (7.5)

LAKISHA...HMM...I'M SURPRISED...I'M NOT BLOWN AWAY..BUT THEN HOW THE HELL DO YOU FOLLOW LAST WEEK!!?? OH PLEASE, LONGER SKIRT PLEASE...YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FIGURE OR LEGS FOR THAT SHORT SKIRT. BUT I DO GIVE YOU AN (8.5)

OH GOOD LORD, ALAINA. *YAWN....I GIVE HER A (6)....BORING....BUH-BYE!

MELINDA...SHE HAS A SHIRLEY BASSEY/VANESSA WILLIAMS GROOVE...SHE'S PROFESSIONAL, GET HER OFF THE SHOW AND GIVE HER A CONTRACT (OH LIKE THERE ISN'T ONE FOR HER IN THE WORKS ALREADY.)...THOSE OTHER GIRLS ON THE RAILING MUST BE THINKING HOLY SHIT..I HAVE TO SING AFTER HER?? SHE DID BETTER THAN LAKISHA. SHE WAS IN CONTROL AND I GIVE HER A (10)!!

ANTONELLA...O.K., SO JOE'S GOING TO VOTE FOR HER (OF JOE'S BLOG)AND HUGH HEFNER IS READY TO SIGN HER UP...BUT IF YOU WENT BY HER VOICE...SHE WAS PITCHY, NERVOUS AND WEAK....IF SHE'S BACK NEXT WEEK...IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF HER SINGING. SHE'S PATHETIC. WHEN SHE COMES ON, JUST MUTE THE TV. (4)

JORDIN...SOME NOTES GETTING LOST. IS SHE READY TO CRY...BLESS HER HEART. I SEE HER AS DOROTHY IN A NEW "THE WIZ"...SO MUCH TALENT AND ONLY 17....SHE JUST NEEDS SOME TRAINING AND PACKAGING AND OFF SHE GOES! A GOOD PRODUCER WILL WORK WONDERS FOR HER AND WITH HER. (7.75)

STEPHANIE...LOVED THE DRESS BUT I WASN'T INTERESTED IN HER UNTIL TOWARDS THE END. (7.5)

LESLIE...WHY THE HELL WOULD SHE PICK THAT MICHAEL BUBLE SONG...AJ ...GO SHOW HER HOW IT'S DONE. HE SANG IT LAST NIGHT FOR GOD'S SAKE! *YAWN*....WHAT'S THAT...SCATTING? BAD BAD CHOICE! THE JUDGES ARE GOING TO CRUCIFY (5)

HALEY....EXCUSE ME I HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM....OH IS SOME ONE SINGING...SORRY....*YAWN..QUITE FORGETTABLE. (5)

YOUR TURN EVERYONE!!!

...SABRINA.. PRETTY GOOD BUT I LIKED HER LAST WEEK BETTER...(7)



MY FINAL VOTE....MELINDA...HANDS DOWN!

PHIL STACY...DIDN'T DO IT FOR ME. GOOD STYLE IN CLOTHES...DON'T LIKE THE SONG BUT HE HAS A GOOD VOICE. I AGREED WITH SIMON-I DIDN'T JUMP OUT OF MY SKIN OR OUT OF MY CHAIR. (7)

NICK PEDRO...I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE SONG "FEVER" AND THE ENDING GAVE ME CHILLS. I DIG HIS RASPY, SMOKEY VOICE(7.5)

JARED! "LET'S GET IT ON" NICE FALSETTO! SEDUCTIVE. VIDEO AND RADIO READY. LOOKS SO COMFORTABLE. SUH-WEET! GO JARED! (8.5)

A.J.! I LOVE MICHAEL BUBLE! AND HE DID MICHAEL PROUD WITH THAT VERSION! I'M FEELIN' YA' KID! YOU GO A.J.! YOU MAKE ME SMILE . I LIKED WHAT SIMON SAID,..."NEARLY VERY GOOD!?" I GIVE HIM AN (8.5)!

SANJAYA...HMM..I REALLY DO LIKE HIS VOICE, IF IT'S KEPT IN A CERTAIN RANGE. I COULD SEE A CD OF HIS IN STARBUCKS! HE NEEDS EXPERIENCE. I LIKED THE SYNCOPATED STYLE. BUT I'M NOT SURE IT WAS ENOUGH THIS WEEK. IT SORTA' JUST LAYED THERE. (7)

BLAKE...I LIKE HIM. NOT TOO MUCH TO SAY OTHER THAN IT WAS COOL TO HEAR HIS BEATBOX BUT HE CAN'T OVER USE IT! I LIKE HIS SENSE OF STYLE. (7.75)

BRANDON. I LIKE HIS VOICE. BUT THE JUDGES ARE RIGHT, HE'S GOT TO SHOWCASE IT EVERY WEEK! SAVE THE SOFT TOUCH DEDICATIONS FOR ANOTHER TIME WHEN YOUR IN LIKE ABSOLUTE FLYNN! (7.75)

CHRIS R. HE'S FUN. I LIKED THAT SONG. WONDER WHAT GRANDMA THOUGHT!? HE'S MAKING POINTS BY KEEPING CONTEMPORARY. (7.75)

CHRIS SLIGH...GREAT BLUESY VOICE...BUT AGAIN IF I DON'T LOOK AT HIM, HE SOUNDS BETTER!!! I JUST DON'T LIKE HIS LOOK. BUT HE HAS A VOICE OF SUBSTANCE. (8)

OH OH...SORRY TO ALL THE SUNDANCE FANS...HE WAS FUN...BUT HE DIDN'T DO IT FOR ME THIS WEEK....(7.5)

HERE IN THE DC AREA WE HAVE A BIT OF A SCANDAL...SEEMS THE LOVELY LITTLE ANTONELLA HAD SOME FUN TAKING SEXY SHOTS IN FRONT OF THE WWII MEMORIAL. I'M NOT JUDGING ENTIRELY BECAUSE WHEN I WAS THAT AGE, AND HAD A FIGURE LIKE THAT, YOU COULD HAVE MAYBE TALKED ME INTO IT. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT WAS 20 PLUS YEARS AGO AND NOW THE PHOTOS ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET. WHAT DO YOU THINK. PERSONALLY...IF YOU'LL REMEMBER, LAST WEEK I SAID HER FACE SAVED HER ASS BECAUSE SHE, IN MY OPINION, WAS THE WORST SINGER.

MORE FUN TOMORROW!

I'M GOING OVER TO LUCY'S BLOG TO CAST MY OFFICIAL VOTE...BUT HERE..I'LL GIVE YOU A HEADS UP...TONITE, I LIKED JARED.
