I Pick Thee

We've heard the top 12 boys performed on Monday night; the girls last night. I thought that there were more talents in the boys this year. It's sad that the top 12 had to be half girls and half boys. Why not just pick 12, any 12 regardless of gender.

I am talking about the new season of American Idol for those who got lost and found themselves here on this site and can't follow what I'm saying.

My understanding is that tonight they would choose the 5 boys and 5 girls that had the highest number of votes to go to the "real show". From those that weren't picked, one boy and one girl would be chosen by the judges as the wild card picks. Sound good, but unfair for some of the boys who would be left in the cold because well there's only 6 slots for them. And from what I heard last Monday night, there were more than 6 boys that deserved to move on.

Well I'll cry over spilt milk after I crossed the bridge after I found out who's left out in the dark. In the meantime let me share my picks.


Casey Abrams.  He's quirky and I like that a lot.  He also reminds me of Jack Black.


Thia Megia.  The young one who has a lovely voice and a very pleasant face.

Scotty McCreery.  I like his deep voice and I heart country music. 


Lauren Alaina.  I heart country music, that's all.  Oh she also can sing.  Really well.


James Durbin.  First he's local - from the bay area city of Santa Cruz.  Second, he's a rocker.  Third, he reminds me of Adam Lambert - who I heart from last season.  Enough reason.


Julie Zorrilla.  Loved her from the audition in SF.  But she chose the song that's completely wrong for her.  I think she's going thru anyway - voted in or chosen by judges as wild card.


Pia Toscano.  Impressive on Tuesday night.  I was completely floored by her performance.  Not in my radar until last night.


Paul McDonald.  I love quirky.


Tim Halperin.  I like him.

About the judges:  I am liking the set up.  I think the chemistry among the three judges is fantastic, although it feels weird that Randy is becoming the voice of reason this year, huh????

Love Jennifer in the judge's panel.  She brings glamour and also sound advice. 

And Steven is really fun to watch.

Tune in tonight and see who made the cut.  Keeping my fingers crossed that all of these aspirants I mentioned here would sail to the next round.
