Week One Recap

So tonight is Michael Jackson Night…

Lil Rounds – The Way You Make Me Feel
I have to be honest, I just am not a very big fan of Lil.  She seems very, very ordinary to me.   The judges, as usual, are drooling over her.  I feel like they HAVE to have Lil stay in the competition…  Although, at least Simon called her out on her HIDEOUS outfit.

Scott  MacIntyre – Keep The Faith
Okay, “Glam Team”… How are you 0 for freakin’ 2…  You have to do SOMETHING with Scott’s mop… And don’t take no for an answer… The dudes BLIND!

Okay, on to more important things.  Why the hell is the band playing like that?  Awful.  If you’re going to be behind the piano, lets at least pick a song that features it.  Scott still is lacking on his vocals.  Performance quality was good, but he’s definitely not the best singer.  Although America loves an underdog.  And it was just okay.  And the judges are never, ever going to say anything bad about Scott.  That’s becoming pretty obvious.  Even the “critique” is only about the song.

And so it begins: American Idol Week One Live Blog (EST)

Here’s where I’ll be live blogging the show tonight. Please join me at 8:00 EST for my witty comments and amazing commentary…

13 Contestants, 12 Phone Numbers. Ut Oh

So here’s the scoop from DialIdol.com:

We all know the phone numbers to vote : 1-866-436-5701 through 5712.

Usually if you call these numbers outside a voting window they are busy and that is the case today.

However… This year there are 13 contestants. It appears that American Idol does not own 1-866-436-5713 (or 1-866-436-5700 for that matter). I’d advise you not to call either number as the content is not rated G.

This raises the question – what the heck are they going to do for the 13th contestant? Has anything heard anything? New numbers? New voting system entirely? A lone non-contiguous number? Are they frantically trying to buy the number? Am I just dialing wrong?

This could be a problem!  The buzz and rumors are swirling at all the major hot spots… DialIdol.com,  MJ, JP

Top 13 Power Rankings

13. Jasmine: I don’t believe she deserves to be here, honestly. The girls were weak, yet there were still at least 4 girls I think would be better and more deserving.

12. Michael: The original mistake. I liked his story. Appreciated what he went through. And was rooting for him. But I just don’t think he’s very good.

11.  Kris:  Very boy-bandish in the times we’ve seen him.  I’ve seen some other videos and liked him, but when it came time, I thought he copped out.  I’ll be interested in seeing him with his guitar.  He could be a mover.
