American Idol Wrapup…

by @ 12:42 am on 9/3/2008. Filed under general

Top 4 show…

David Cook didn’t sound so good in his first song – actually he sounded kind of flat. Babba O’Riley was ok, not great. You need to bang that song out, he didn’t, he shouted it.

Don’t agree with Simon on Syesha’s performance of Proud Mary, I thought it was pretty good. Not amazing but pretty good. Beat out David Cook. And I liked the little hippy hippy shake during Proud Mary.

Jason… Oi those were not good versions of I Shot the Sheriff and Mr. Tamborine Man. Ugh. He is really good but he didn’t do well in this show. But I think the show wanted him off anyway.

David A… Great voice again. No one can touch him on the show. In a class by himself. But you know, I am not thinking he is the American Idol anymore, I think his singing is too good for being an American Idol and his performance is not good enough. And his singing style isn’t really pop style, it is just really really really good singing. He croons with purity… He reminds me of Josh Groban, someone else who wouldn’t be a good American Idol.

 

Jason was the right one to go…

 

Top 3 Show…

David A… Paula’s song choice shows she thinks he is a crooner too. Second song was ok, not as good as previous stuff. And the producers feel David is a crooner too… David is a crooner folks.

Syesha – Good song choice from Randy for her, she sang it well. Fever… Very good Syesha Woo. Perfect song choice for her despite what the judges said.  The last song wasn’t so good but she danced well.

David C – Odd song choice from Simon but David did very well. Actually think he could release that as a single and it would sell well. It shows he can sing very well and is not just an entertainer. That expect that song will put him in the final 2. Second song, shoot I just saw it and don’t recall it already…. Last song, very very good.

 

Syesha obviously was the right one to go… Interestingly, if you noticed at the end of her swan song, it looks like  she lip synced the song because her voice kept going in the last note while she had her mouth closed into a smile.

 

 

Final Two Show

David C –

First song: He has a good voice but something about it, it doesn’t seem to have depth. It goes about 3 inches down and then suddenly stops. It wasn’t good of him to sing a Bono song because Bono has depth. Lots of confidence and showmenship though.

Second song: Very good. I could see that song out there as a hit for him.

Third song: Good energy, good performance, sung well for him but he just doesn’t have depth in his voice.

 

Dave A…

First song: Polar opposite of Dave C. Great depth and purity but you could tell he was as nervous as a 3-tailed cat in a boot factory. He is just too young for this. But wow on the Elton John song – amazing.

Second song: Amazing. But again he is a crooner.

Third song: Wow.

 

Wrap up, David A blew David C out of the water. If this show is judged on singing, he will win.

 

 

Final Show…

I admit it, fast forwarded through most everything, BORING. David C won of course, you all probably knew that already. Can’t say I am thrilled by it nor surprised by it. Dave A is by far the better singer, but he is a bit young and not the entertainer that David C is.

 

Now onto So You Think You Can Dance… I see that Philip Chbeeb is back YEAH! The way he moves gives you chills. I recall I didn’t see him the first time it was on TV the night he was on but it was recorded. One of my best friends told me the next day and was like “he was amazing! you have to watch”. So I watched and rewatched and rewatched as I couldn’t see how someone could move like that.

 

So anyway… Congratulations David C, you are a very good entertainer. Congratulations David A… You can wail. 🙂
