Boarder's Book Presentations and AMERICAN IDOL

Tonight I'm going to watch my brother present his book at the Boarder's Cafe. Ah, those were the days! I remember waiting for this day back little elementary school....haha. I wish I could have Mrs.Schneider for just one more year. Oh well, I will see her tonight. The last time I saw her, she gave me a tangerine Altoid. They are so good. They are pretty tart but satisfyingly sweet..wow that is REALLY off topic. Anyways, one to my favorite obsession....
AMERICAN IDOL! Last night's performances were a box of Berty Bot's Every Flavor Beans (Holla, HP! hehe) Some were great, and some were oh so cringe-worthy. But when they were great, man they were great! Performances by Anoop (my favorite so far), Donny, Alexis Faith, Jackie, Tatiana, and Ann Marie were stellar. I did not understand at all why the judges didn't like Ann Marie! She had great range, picked a risky song, and delivered. Donny was sincere and just fabulous. While I do agree this whole "my-wife-died-4-weeks-before-the-audition" thing seems..I don't know..a little unfair, like just because he has a sad history means that everyone likes him, I think he has a great voice. And it's part of his package: great hair, great voice, great personality, hard life. It makes him more appealing to America. Alexis killed her performance of I Never Loved a Man. She showed hreat range and picked a great first song. Jackie worked the stage like a pro and I really enjoyed her unique voice and song choice. And even Tatiana, as much as I HATE saying it, did a great job. Her dress was hideous, but she showed a more sophisticated side and proved that she deserves (and I gag) to be in the Top 36.
However, there were those who fell short of the glory of Simon. Among them were Stevie Wright, Steven, Michael Sarver, and Casey Carlson. I love Stevie, but the low notes were way to low for her and she was simply too pitchy. Steven chose a horrible song and performed it even worse. From the beginning, when his snap/arm waving things were off beat, I knew I was in for a bumpy ride. I think Michael is a great guy and cute too, but I was bored with his performance. His voice isn't memorable, no matter what his face looks like. Casey Carlson...I have no words. Except bad.
Tonight's results will be very interesting. I think that Danny will get the top male votes and Alexis Faith will get the top feamle votes. Anoop will get the next highest vote count. I hope Jackie will make it through in the Wild Card round!
Now I have to go. Be sure to watch AI tonight and comment!
