One Prom Night and Three Eliminations

Last night all feels like a dream.  A rather short dream.  It was so much fun though, you can't even imagine.  Spending time with friends and dancing all night long really makes you come out of you shell and just really be yourself.  Yes, I'm talking abour prom.  I recall talking about this yesterday, I think. 

I won't lie, there were some things that really got me worried and anxious.  I wasn't sure of how many sober people would show up, some of them in my own group.  I wasn't really a fan of the resturant that we were going to eat at.  I was out of the loop in some of the planning discussions.  But you know what?  When it finally came down to going to prom and eating and taking pictures, none of that mattered. 

Wow, how wild I was last night.  I danced with tons of people, reconnected with old friends, and possibly stepped on some toes of people I don't like.  They'll get over it in time.  Sadly, my group left early last night so some of the group could make it to their midnight curfew.  But I think it worked out in the end because I was dog tired.  I'm still thinking about taking a nap. 

Okay, okay, enough about prom.  On to more interesting things.  We actually haven't talked American Idol lately.  I wanted to interest some American Idol fans a bit with this post.  Since my last AI talk, 3 people have been eliminated, two within one week. 

Didi Benami was the first to go.  She was really talented, but she really didn't have the strong voice to make it all the way to the top.  But don't worry, I expect her to make an album that has a very mellow tune to it.

 Next week we saw Michael Lynche fall with the lowest votes.  Luckily for him though, the judges used their one time save to keep him in for the next week.  But that only means that next week two would be leaving. 

Last week there were two who went home.  Andrew Garcia quickly left the show that episode, even before Adam Lambert was even able to do his laser show and his very dragged out version of 'What do you want from me'.  Andrew was also really good, but he raised the bar to high and quickly with his Paula Abdul song.  I do see him singing like Maroon 5 very soon though. 

And then the last one to leave was Katie Stevens.  It was between her and Michael again.  It would have been really humiliating if he was saved one week, then eliminated the next.  But he was saved, leaving Katie in tears.  I don't know why she was crying, she will get a record deal before she knows it!!

Well that seems like all the time we have for today!  Stay tuned for more great stuff coming!!

Top Twelve

First of all, I wanted to say how much of a pleasure to see that one of the Edens Edge band members, Hannah, had read my last post! They are all such great singers, so it was so much fun to be able to meet them, and then get their name out through this blog. Good luck you guys.

Now, I haven't been able to do an American Idol post in some time, so what better time than this. Last time we talked about this, we were in the first week of live performances, and Tim Urban was on the edge of getting elimiated. Well since you have last read, he made it through, following good performances with the songs 'Come on Get Higher' and 'Hallelujah', which made the judges proud.

Last week was really the moment to shine and determined if they would make it through to the top twelve. Here are some highlights:

Mike did a stunning perfomance with his song the led Kara to tears. While Ellen gave Tim a big hug for his good song choice. And Aaron Kelly continued to gain fame with his young, solid voice.

But four didn't make it this week. Two of them were shockers, others not so much.

Lilly Scott was a shocker. Alot of people liked her unique voice, including myself. She was one that was a huge shocker.

Katelyn Epperly was also one who left the stage. I think that the only thing that would have saved her was the song that she perfomed two weeks ago. But her last performance was not one that really stuck with the audience, causing her to be eliminated.

Don't get me wrong, Todrick Hall is a good singer and a good performer. But to the truth of the matter is, he changed a song to the point where is was unrecognizable, and continued to do it week after week. You want to hear a song that you can relate to and he just didn't seem to realize that.

And Alex Lambert. Poor guy. He was a good singer that I was shocked to see go. And but to truthful, he was just the weakest link of the 7 guys. I felt bad for him though when he started crying on stage. But don't fel bad Alex, someone will notice you and get you signed up to a label real soon.

Well I guess I'll give you the names of the top twelve. They are DiDi Benami, Siobhan Magnus, Paige Miles, Katie Stevens, Lacey Brown and Crystal Bowersox, Aaron Kelly, Michael Lynche, Casey James, Lee Dewyze, Andrew Garcia and Tim Urban.

Well I guess that is my post for today. Stay tuned for more tomorrow!!
