Ok, lets test these people's versatility:

next week: Gregorian chants
week after: Arias from your favorite operas
week after that: Mongolian dual tones: songs from the steppes

Yeah! and finally...Mississippi hog-calling! sssooooooooooooooooooooooiiiiiiiieeeeee!!!!

Actually, I wouldn't mind #2. They did A. L. Webber last season, which is distantly similar- D. Cook did quite well with Music Of The Night, which surprised me.

I mean real opera, not "pop-opera" ... lets really test them.

Yeah - some bel-canto! Watch them squirm!
 
At this point, I'm having trouble remembering anybody besides Danny and "Lil Rounds". I miss Blake Lewis...he was probably one of my favorites...this year, no one is standing out, to my mind.

I think Danny is already getting full of himself...so maybe I'd like to see Lil Rounds win. Jorge's eyebrows bother me...the blind guy is the charity case...oh wait, I kinda like Anoop Dogg...I think I'll root for him.

Yeah, I liked Blake, too.

Humility is a rarity on that show (notable exceptions, of course- like Melinda Doolittle) but that is the nature of the show.

One thing is very interesting to me is the amount of professing Christians that make the top 12 every year- and even win. Jordin Sparks, Carrie Underwood... and others in the top 5, too.

Charity will get you somewhere, though not in the winners circle. I think he'll do well, but he's a good singer- not great. Danny is a better singer, but his attitude might be his undoing. And Jorge only has one eyebrow, not two- it's a unibrow that crosses his whole head.

You guys leave Tatiana alone, yeah I know she's annoying but there is only two Puerto Ricans that made it, Tatiana and that fruity loops Jorge and Ima have to go with ummmmmmmmmmm the straight over emotional Tatiana lol

Tatiana would be more tolerable if she was a great singer, but she just isn't- she's as good as any cruise ship or lounge singer out there, nothing more. Jorge might have gone all googly on us, but the man has got some pipes. He's a much better singer than she is.

Danny, but I liked his best friend Jamar, better.
We actually haven't been able to watch Fox since Feb. 17th. They must not have gotten the memo that the gov't changed its mind on the digital switch until June; they switched then.
We broke down and bought a converter today, though, because we saw that our gov't coupon expires soon.

My jaw dropped when Jamar didn't make it through. I thought for sure he'd make it to the top 12, he didn't even make it to the top 36. Cutting Jamar was, in my mind, one of the biggest mistakes the judges made.
 
My fave was the little gay kid... I liked him so much. but he was cut :*( so now I'm out of the watching. and I can't stand that Tatiania chick....very sad she got through and he didn't. I want to write him a letter and invite him for dinner.
Does anyone know if the cute oil rig worker is still on? he was cute and he could sing so if he's still on he'd be my pick though.
 
I like the oil rig guy, too. I forgot about him.
And I agree with you Craig, I thought he was going to win it all. I loved his last song, when he did "Hey there Delilah." (Is that what it's called?)
He made it sound really cool and it was definitely marketable, I think. I didn't see the show where they had everyone at the mansion, do you know why they cut him?

I saw him get cut, but I can't remember everything that the judges said, but I do remember at least one of them saying he was "forgetable". I completely disagree with that.

I don't even like "Hey there Delilah", but I think he performed it very well. All in all, this season is shaping up to be very forgetable, in my opinion.
 
Tatiana is gone!!! Yesssssssssssss!!!!!!
