<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Everyone should by now knows who the winner of American Idol Season 11 is. I was still disappointed with the result hence the late of posting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">By watching the performance at the finale, especially the duet with Jennifer Holliday, Jessica Sanchez by far is much qualified to be the winner. But 135 millions votes came in and it favored to Phillip Phillips. Whatever!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let's see how it goes next season.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the mean time, enjoy Jessica Sanchez and Jennifer Holliday performing "And I am Telling You I'm Not Going"</span></div>

Two finalists took the Nokia Theater's stage. With 7000 live fans cheering for their idols. I was as nervous as the contestants :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jessica Sanchez (16) and Phillip Phillips (21) performed three songs each. The first songs chosen by Simon Fuller, the second songs were the idols' favourites and the third songs were original songs written for them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Round One</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jessica (I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- I have no idea why Fuller chose this song. This song has been done over and over again in Idol. But Jessica nailed it, no doubt.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Phillip (Stand By Me by Ben E. King)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Ridiculous! Fuller chose a hard song for Jessica and a simple song for Phillip. But never mind. This song sounds boring by Phillip. He was done less than two minutes!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
WINNER : Jessica</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Round Two</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jessica (The Prayer by Celine Dion)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- I almost forgot that this song belongs to Celine Dion! This means, how good Jessica is. Flawless!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Phillip (Moving Out by Billy Joel)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- If I'm telling you the truth, I am done with Phillip with his guitar! I can't even remember how he sounded. All I know is, he was performing with his guitar with gray or brown or black shirts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
WINNER : Jessica</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Round Three</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jessica (Change Nothing)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- There's nothing wrong with this song! I like it. Of course when we first heard it as it is the first time performed live, it sounds weird but I tell you, in no time, everyone will like it. By the way, they didn't reveal who wrote this song, or did they?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Phillip (Home)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- I know why they give this song to him. They probably predict him to win this competition and next year, this song would become the contestants goodbye song. But like I said, there was nothing change in his performance. Same old Phillip! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
WINNER : Jessica</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There you go. Am I bias? No. Look again their performances and you will agree with me. Jessica won it all. BUT, I know they love Phillip ~ the producers, the judges, the mentor.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fingers crossed, hopefully, I won't get disappointed again this year. I'm done with contestants who depend too much with their guitar (David Cook, Kris Allen, Lee DeWyze, Scotty McNeery to name a few). And one of the most disappointing finale was in season 8. It should be won by Adam Lambert!<br />
<br />
So, once and for all, let it be a GIRL this time, please. And that would be JESSICA SANCHEZ!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My last note</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope the producers forbid the judges to make a standing ovation during the finale next time. It doesn't seem right. They should forbid the judges to make prediction too. I hate it.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Joshua is the first called by Ryan. Iovine agreed with me. There shouldn't be a standing ovation to his first performance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then, we saw a segment of Ice Age. Followed by a boring performance from Lisa Marie Presley. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jessica is the next one. Iovine admitted her first and third song were a mistake. And who picked them? The very professional people themselves!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Adam performed his new song, "Never Close Our Eyes". A superb performance. Can't get enough. How nice if he sang two songs just like Coldplay did before. I was very much disappointed too coz Ryan didn't interview him!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was Phillip's turn being called to the centre stage. Jimmy liked his own song choice for Phillip. That lullaby song?? Oh no!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the commercial break, it was time for the result. I don't care who the other one, but all I want is Jessica. And what a relieved when Ryan announced Jessica is in the final! The other one is Phillip. Not so surprising coz I know the girls love him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibdeYrdkR-GWu9ef9q9CV-RWJoeDgRnvCtuFQ0ugv5of45U1-hfvOyhYZ_jYByhgLzfwMepC7sil19czwuoPJqmOlH4VZd7ke9Wo5WpJE_m4XbYSzqf9lXaTdXTPsBO8BdCY-U/s1600/top2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibdeYrdkR-GWu9ef9q9CV-RWJoeDgRnvCtuFQ0ugv5of45U1-hfvOyhYZ_jYByhgLzfwMepC7sil19czwuoPJqmOlH4VZd7ke9Wo5WpJE_m4XbYSzqf9lXaTdXTPsBO8BdCY-U/s320/top2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There you are, the results revealed. It would be Jessica versus Phillip.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am hoping for an entertaining finale!</div>SciaShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07167231288364173652noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25611658.post-48254533725416536912012-05-17T22:46:00.000+08:002012-05-17T23:02:12.887+08:00American Idol 11 - Top 3 Performance<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Round 1 (Judges Selections)</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Joshua (I'd Rather Go Blind by Etta James - picked by Randy)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Surprise! Surprise! He got another standing ovation from the judges. I saw JLo reluctant to stand though. To me, it was just okay. Nothing to wow about.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jessica (My All by Mariah Carey - picked by JLo)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- I think JLo is trying to murder her by choosing this song for her. I heard Jessica out of breath and she was munching her words.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Phillip (Beggin' by Madcon - picked by Steven)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Not bad at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Round 2 (Idols Own Choice)</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Joshua (Imagine by John Lennon)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- I prefer David Archuleta's.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jessica (I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing by Aerosmith)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- She got standing ovation from Steven himself. It means, she did well. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Phillip (Disease by Matchbox Twenty)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- I can't differentiate between the first song and this one. It's the same to me. But this one is boring.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>Round 3 (Jimmy Iovine's Choice)</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Joshua (No More Drama by Mary J. Blige)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- He had fun means he went all out with this song. He should get standing ovation for this one and not the first song!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jessica (I'll Be There by Jackson 5)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Poor Jessica. I didn't like it especially the low note. Oh Jimmy, you really let me down. Why oh why did you choose this song for her. First, JLo with her choice and now Jimmy! Is there no justice? Or is this conspiracy??</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Phillip (We've Got Tonight by Bob Seger)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- I agree with JLo. It was a lullaby song and truthfully, I dozed off. I was so nervous looking for him rubbing his leg. Weird! Is he so nervous?? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, who is going to the finale? Do you want a girl to win this time? Then it would be Jessica. Do you want another David Cook, Kris Allen or Scotty McCreery? Then it would be Phillip. Or do you want another Taylor Hicks? Then it would be Joshua.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My predictions is Joshua and Jessica. Phillip can leave the competition anytime as they always say, many records would sign him up.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tomorrow, we have Adam Lambert. Oh yeah! Go Adam!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So happy for couple, Dave and Rachel Brown. They won the title of The Amazing Race 20 and of course the USD 1million!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It began when they traveled from India to Japan. I was almost certain that they won't be in the final three when they missed the earlier ferry to an island. But lucky for them, the teams won't get the clue until sunrise. After they did the Roadblock and Detour, Dave and Rachel arrived at the pit stop first. It was their seventh wins! It means, they tied records made by teams in Seasons 13 & 15. Vanessa and Ralph were eliminated.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The final three continued their race to Hawaii. Dave and Rachel almost messed up their chances. They arrived at the pit stop without doing the Roadblock. Phil asked them to go back and finished their tasks first. I think they were the first team who arrived at the final pit stop who didn't complete their tasks! But somehow or rather, they went back and over took Art and JJ at the Roadblock. After completing all the tasks they proceeded to the pit stop and announced by Phil as the official winner of The Amazing Race season 20! This win made them the first team holds most win in this race which is, eight!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Art and JJ finished second and Brendon & Rachel came third. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bring it on ~ The Amazing Race Season 21!!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Almost 70 millions voted. Crazy!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ryan called the remaining four one by one to the centre of the stage. First, it was Phillips. Jimmy Iovine was all in praise of him. He was sent back to the couch which Phillips misunderstood for a while. He thought he was already safe but actually not. Ryan, your game is sucks!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then, it was Hollie's turn. Iovine said, she was crashed and burned!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
David Cook performed "The Last Song I'll Write for You". Funny, Ryan didn't interview him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After Cook's performance, Ryan called Joshua. Iovine didn't like his first song but thought his second song was something special.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally, Ryan called Jessica. Again, Iovine didn't like her first song but said it was flawless and she murdered it on her second song.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
JLO performed "Dance Again". Did you all see her toy boy? Trying to be romantic eh?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And then, the results. Top three will be going home as hero and one is going home for good. The first one who is safe is Jessica, followed by Joshua and Phillips. That's the end of the road for Hollie.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

We would be able to watch the top three homecoming. I like this part. And if they still using the same method, the three judges will choose songs for the top three to perform. Let's see what would they be.</div>SciaShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07167231288364173652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25611658.post-16654311565902575842012-05-10T21:21:00.000+08:002012-05-10T21:21:20.209+08:00The American Idol 11 - Top 4 Performance<div style="text-align: justify;">
The top four were like performing for their dear life. Who is going home for good and who is going for homecoming?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Round 1</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Phillip (Have You Ever Seen The Rain by Credence Clearwater Revivial)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- I like this song but this is not the kind of song to be performed when you are in top four!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hollie (Faithfully by Journey)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- I think Hollie did a great job. She didn't over do it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Joshua (You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- I think I heard him shaky. Over done.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jessica (Steal Away by Etta James)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- She did just fine.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Phillip and Joshua (This Love by Maroon 5)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Not bad. I love Maroon 5. I love all their songs. I love Adam Lavine :) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jessica and Hollie (Eternal Flame by The Bangles)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Another great song. I think they did ok except for the swinging part. I was distracted.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Phillip, Hollie, Joshua, Jessica (I've Been Waiting for a Girl Like You by Foreigner)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Not bad at all. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Round 2</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Phillip (Volcano by Damien Rice)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- I am not familiar with this song but I think he did a good job.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hollie (I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Maybe she swallowed too much praise for her first performance. She was too emotional which didn't help. This could hurt her.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Joshua (It's Man's Man's Man's World by James Brown)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Same old Joshua. There's no difference from his previous performances. We know he had a big voice but it was quite boring if you performed almost the same every week.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jessica (And I'm Telling You by Jennifer Holliday)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Wow! A lifetime performance! The right moment to pull a song like that.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I forgot how Ryan do it when it was Top Four. Bottom two? If it is, then my bottom two would be:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Phillip</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hollie</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It should be Phillip going home but if the teens are still voting for him then I'm afraid, Hollie is going home for good.</div>SciaShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07167231288364173652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25611658.post-81279243716115808242012-05-09T21:12:00.000+08:002012-05-09T21:12:00.410+08:00American Idol 11 - Top 5 Eliminations<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First, Ryan called Joshua to the centre stage. After all the reviews and the comments Jimmy Iovine, Ryan announced that he is safe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Coldplay performed. I didn't like it. I heard them like out of tune or could it be the song is meant to be heard like that?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Next, Ryan called Hollie and Phillip. I was so certain that Phillip is safe coz I get used to see Hollie in the bottom three. My prediction is absolutely spot on. But at least, Jimmy Iovine agreed with me that Ryan should be in the bottom. His fan base is so strong!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Carrie Underwood performed "Blown Away". I was so scared that her dress 'blown away' and reveal her flesh! It was really distracting!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then, it was Jessica and Skylar's turned to be called. All I wanted is Jessica to be safe. And she was. Skylar joined Hollie in the bottom two.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Coldplay performed again, and this time it was better than the first song.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The result I've been waiting for. Skylar is going home! I felt a burden shed from my shoulders. I just don't care whether Jessica can win this or not. All I wanted was, Skylar to go before Jessica LOL. But who knows, Jessica might be in the final two and win the competition. If she did, then she would be the first eliminated contestant, saved by the judges and win! Cross-fingers ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My next target to be sent home is Phillip! </div>

Rachel & Dave Art & JJ</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I actually never miss watching The Amazing Race Season 20 but I just don't have enough time to do review. All I can say is, tasks this season are very much tough and tiring. Like previous seasons, there are also allies and enemies among the teams.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Out of 11 teams. Four teams left. Which team would be in the final three? Could it be Vanessa & Ralph, or Brendon & Rachel, or Dave & Rachel or Art & JJ? Vanessa & Ralph are the rivals of Brendon & Rachel Dave and Rachel making ally with Art & JJ in the first place but there was a misunderstanding between these two teams during the double u-turn. Allies broke up and they became rivals.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Of the four teams, I hope Dave & Rachel would win this. The two-hour finale will be tomorrow on AXN which begins at 7.05pm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Stay tuned!</div>

I didn't catch the Top 5 performance last night. Went for a movie "The Avengers". So no review, until I saw the repeat.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, I would like to make a guess who would land in bottom three. This guess is based on popularity only.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My guess would be:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hollie</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Skylar</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jessica</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Phillip should go home but I can see he is still so strong at the top. So, if my bottom three really happen, it could be Skylar or Jessica going home. I just hope NOT Jessica!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<br />
During the elimination results, Ryan announced 58 millions came in!! That's actually the judges wanted. Vote your favorites. Vote the best. They actually want money!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let's go straight to the results.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ryan called them in pair. The first pair was Jessica and Elise. Jessica is safe and Elise is not. Season 10 finalist, Stefano Langone performed. Not bad :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Next pair was, Joshua and Hollie. Joshua to couch. Hollie to stool. Katy Perry performed with her "Part of Me". Energetic performance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The last pair was, Phillip and Skylar. As expected, Phillip sent for safety and Skylar to the bottom three. One minute after that, Ryan sent Skylar to the couch. Leaving Hollie and Elise at the center stage.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And, Elise was sent home!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

It's almost 10pm and I'm tired and sleepy. Again, I'll be brief. 12 songs performed tonight, so here it goes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first round was Queen's songs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love the opening performance. but nothing compared to what "Adam Lambert & Chris Allen done before. Sue me for being bias hahaha</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jessica (Bohemian Rhapsody)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- I just love her voice. Familiar song with good energy from Jessica. I kinda like it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Skylar (The Show Must Go On)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- It was like watching rehearsal!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Joshua (Crazy Little Thing Called Love)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- I'm beginning to get bored with him. Same performance every week.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Elise (I Want It All)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Honestly, when I heard they will doing Queen tonight, my thought goes to Elise. Of all the six, I think she is the only one who really nailed it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Phillip (Fat Bottomed Girls)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Without his guitar again this time but, I don't know, I have mixed feelings with his performance. Maybe Randy is right.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hollie (Save Me)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Not only during her performance but all of them, I noticed that the live band and the backup singers are too loud. I nearly couldn't hear Hollie singing. She was struggling!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Done with first round and I think the winner is Elise. The judges gave a standing O to Joshua but JLO chose Skylar as the winner which was supported by Steven Isn't that weird?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 2nd round was the Idolettes' favourites.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jessica (Dance With My Father Again)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- This is my first time listening to this song and guess what, she sang it like I heard it many times already! Flawless.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Skylar (Tattoos on This Town)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- She tried it again with the guitar. But no, it's not the same before. I didn't like it. I think I agree with Steven here.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Joshua (Ready for Love)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- I can't see why he always get standing ovation from the judges. And he was given, the biggest promo from the judges. Do they know what we didn't know? Like, he always get less votes from the rest, perhaps? He screeched too much!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Elise (Bold as Love)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Do you agree with me if I said, she looks like Mariah Carey? :) I still prefer her first performance than this one.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Phillip (The Stone)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- What was that?? Odd. Weird. If not of his popularity he can easily go home tomorrow. And who was the girl Ryan pointed out? Phillip's girlfriend?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hollie (The Climb)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- ok. ok. she did well with this one but is it enough?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I pick Jessica to win this second round.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My bottom three are</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Phillip</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Joshua</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Elise</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
(oh dear, did I just choose both guys? well, it's ok. I think Elise might go. Not because she was the weakest but because of less votes for her. I hope not Jessica coz after Colton, she is the reason I watch American Idol. She really can sing, and that's the reason me liking her)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My last note:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
why did JLO given more time to criticize? sometimes, when it was Randy's turn, she still keep on talking. sometimes when Ryan asked Randy or Steven's opinion, it was she who do the talking! Next time, we need judges who can really give critiques like Jimmy Iovine & Simon Cowell! I had enough of the pretentious judges! </div>

<span style="font-size: 100%;">Sue me now for saying America teenagers would vote for Colton! I know Colton was the weakest of all last night and I even predicted that he would land in bottom three but I thought, the girls would vote for him. They didn't obviously! Too bad. I thought Colton would be in the finals with Philip [don't get me wrong here, I mentioned Philip because the girls love him so I'm sure he would be in the finals].</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After tonight, I am now very sure, American Idol is so desperate to have a girl to win this time. Look back guys. The last time a girl win this was in Season 6 and that was Jordin Sparks. So, how desperate they are?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let's go to tonight's elimination show.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We heard Ryan announced 53 millions vote came in. That's a lot of money! Then the top 7 Idols sang "Dancing in The Streets". Urgh! never heard of this song. I am so way behind :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Joshua and Hollie called first. It was easy to guess. Joshua is safe and Hollie is not.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kris Allen [Kris who?] performed which introduced by another former winner of Idol, Taylor Hicks. While watching him singing, I'm still thinking, how and why this guy won the American Idol. Give me Adam Lambert!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Next, Ryan called Skylar and Elise. And again, it was easy to guess. Yes, you are right. Skylar is safe and Elise was sent to join Hollie.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And then, a tribute to Dick Clark. Oh please forgive me, I don't know him at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
LMFAO performed 'Sorry for Party Rocking'. Did I hear them out of tune? Oh, never mind!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let's continue with the result. The last three were called, Colton, Philip and Jessica. First, Jessica is safe. Leaving Colton and Philip, which to me they already planned it that way. They used to compare this two guys which Colton hated it. Philip is safe and for the first time, Colton landed in bottom three [what a way to land in bottom three and immediately sent home]. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oh dear Colton, why in the first place you took Lady Gaga's song?! I never like this so called Lady! There's a reason for that. I won't mention it here because it is too sensitive. But I give you a hint ~ Religion? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hollie, Elise and Colton. Who is going home? Elise sent for safety. I think by looking at Hollie, she is so ready to leave. But no, it was not going to happen. America loves Colton so much and they can't wait till May for him to leave the American Idol. So, there you go America, Colton is all yours :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To make amends for his 'sins' [for singing Lady Gaga's song last night], Colton dropped to his knees and sang his religious song, "Everything". You are forgiven Colton! Next time, don't take Lady Gaga's songs!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Next week, two guys left and four girls to perform.</div>SciaShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07167231288364173652noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25611658.post-34358397695147113702012-04-19T20:41:00.004+08:002012-04-19T22:02:42.351+08:00American Idol 11 Top 7 Performance - After the Save Vote<div style="text-align: justify; "><span style="font-size: 100%; " >I attended a course on Corruption, Fraud and Integrity today and I'm officially tired!
