AI8 Top 9 - Downloads? Huh?

This theme is basically - pick whatever song you want, if we clear it you can sing it. Wierd.

Megan's hot, but she sucks! The performance was terrible too. Allison shouldn't have played the guitar. She wasn't great on it, and it didn't help the performance. And that dress! UGH! Scott gave his best performance so far. Nice. Lil's awful. Adam's still awesome. And Paula's high. And Kara's retarded. Kris was brilliant. Never heard an arrangement of "Ain't No Sunshine" quite like that. I don't know if it came from the computer, or from outside (where there are thunders right about now), but I heard thunders as it was ending. AWESOME!

About the results show - If anyone saw "The Comebacks" - the "Don't Stop Believing" there was much better...

AI8 Top 10 - Motown

Before we get started, something about the new judge.

Kara. Kara's kinda hot. Sorta. But she's annoying. She can give good criticism, in stark comparison to the other judges. But, she's a sucker for big song-ending notes. And big notes in general. There's more to singing than that. And, during the auditions and Hollywood episodes, she used the sentence "raw, natural talent" quite often. And apparently, she doesn't know what that means. She seems to think it means whoever she told it to is great, naturally gifted, and ready to make it in the big leagues. But that's not the case. It means that, while talented, whoever she told it to still needs to refine his "raw, natural talent", and, in the contest of the series, will probably do better in a year or two. There, I'm glad I got that out of the way.

Oh, one other thing - for some reason, when going for the bigger notes, the contestants let their tongue slide out of their mouth. Slightly. Try to see it next time. Adam and Kris are two I remember doing it, on several occasions. It's kinda off-putting.

Adam was terrific. Allison was great. Kris was good. That's it. I guess...

AI8 Top 11 - Grand Ole Opry

This might become a regular thing...

Some things I noticed:

Michael sucked. Allison wasn't that great tonight. Kris keeps improving. He still makes wierd faces when singing. Lil ain't no Carrie. Adam's crazy. He's a whackjob. Lunatic. What on earth was that?!?!!?? The vocals were good, but there ain't no one on the planet that can seperate them from the arrangement. That was WIERD. And to think he might have done great with the regular version, or with a one similar to what Daughtry did/stole/whatever with I Walk the Line, back in his time. Scott ain't all that and a bag of chips. He wouldn't be here if he wasn't blind. Sorry, but that's the truth. Alexis - meh. Danny sings wityh a "growl" that sounds like he's got phlegm, i.e. like he REALLY needs to cough. Disgusting. Anoop ROCKS! Megan's hot. HOT. But she can't dance. AT ALL. And Matt was very good. That's it. for now...

AI8 Top 13 - MJ Night

I know I said I won't, but here are some things I thought about while watching this performance episode.

First off, I'm glad that it's a top 13, rather than a top 12, because the baker's dozen allows Anoop, aka Noop-Dogg, to get in, and I like him.

Now to several performances:

Kris' performance was, I thought, better than he got credit for. I know it wasn't technically the best of the night, and kinda average overall, but I loved it. LOVED it. The guitar might have seemed pointless, because it didn't really fit the song, and wasn't clearly heard AT ALL, for almost the entire song, but, speaking as someone who does (somewhat) play the guitar, I can imagine he feels much more comfortable while playing the guitar, and that helps him loosen up, and in my eyes, turn in his best performance yet, from his first audition 'till now. And you could see he was having fun. And he made funny silly faces. And the fact that he helped the others with their songs makes him just so much more awesome.

Allison, who from some angles is kinda cute, had a great performance. But I wasn't really concentrating on it, so that's it.

Anoop, I thought, didn't suck as badly as he was accused of sucking. It's a great song, and he did an OK version of it, but it wasn't terrible.

Megan's HOT. REALLY, REALLY, REALLY HOT. But that tattoo is hideous. And she can't dance.

* In earlier episodes, Nick/Norman was AWESOME! HILLARIOUS! And Neil Patrick Harris, aka Legendary Himself, Barney, was in da house, for two performance episodes. COOL *

And Adam's AWESOME.

That's it. For now...

Fuck This World...

4-0? Seriously? WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Real Madrid lost to Alcorcon from the second division, group B, 4-0. WTF?!?!?!?!?!?

And to make things better, the Cavs lost their season opener to the Celtics.

Fuck this world...

Blog, Are You There? It's Me... Blogger

Hi there. It's been a while, hasn't it?

I've been quite busy, actually.

The first year of college/university ended. Sorta. I'm still trying to finish the second (third, but more of that, later) round of test (not new ones, but to improve grades and stuff). Two more are left. I'm not entirely lacking confidence. I think.

I finished basic training in the military. A month of nothing's and not-a-whole-lot's. I did shoot an M-16. A LOT. It was fun. I am now qualified to do that. But I don't have a license. Odd.

The second year of college started a couple of weeks ago. Nothing's new. All's the same.

That's basically it. I didn't get back to learning how to play the guitar. Too bad. I do want to, but I can't see myself doing it any time soon.

About American Idol - I finished watching season 7 (again-ish), and am not going to post reviews about it, or season 8 which I'm currently watching. I really don't have the mental strength and will to do that.

BUT, I will, hopefully, comment on the new season, once it will start, so that my opinion won't be years overdue.

Anything else? probably, but I can't remember. Seeya soon?
