a shorter shade of red.




American Idol Top 36 : Group One

It was a pretty uneventful night tonight and yet they say they have amazing singers...certainly not in this group.  here's the verdict in no particular order.

Alexis Grace
cute blond with pink pieces.  I just loved her.  She gave a fresh new vibe to the show and her singing was great.  "dirty" does good.

Brent Keith
i think the country fans will like this beefy husband, but i didnt connect with the song..and he couldn't dance worth anything.

Jackie Tohn
I hated her over the top personality a little less then her terrible black hot pants/tights and ridiculous top and sneakers.  She was a wacko and i was not impressed.  Worst of the night.

Stephen Fowler
This big haired black guy was an ok singer to a song a liked.  but unfortunately it just wasnt good enough to get in my top 3.

Ann Marie Boskovich
Not bad for this pretty brunette, but totally forgettable.  I would not have sung that song...i agree with Kara, she should have sung a more singer songwriter song

Casey Carlson
this brunette broadway clown looked stupid in her gold lame and murdered an already crappy song of "every little thing she does is magic"...what was with the ridiculous wink in the middle of the performance. 2nd worse of the night.

Michael Sarver
this blond stocky guy was not horrible but COMPLETELY forgettable. so much that i never looked up at the tv when he was singing.

Stevie Wright
poor thing.  This teen was completely out of her element.  worse vocals of the night..im surprised taylor swift would sing something so outright pop.

Anoop Desai
Best of the night.  This golden voiced Indian was fantastic in my book.  not sure why the judges weren't all praises.

Danny Gokey
the judges loved this Martin Downey Jr lookalike and yahoo news topped him as the best.  I agree he was good but again did not hold my attention like Anoop did.

Ricky Braddy
his pants were too tight but I actually really liked this guy.  its too bad there were a couple better singer/performers or this guy would be a shoe in..instead i think he's on his way home.

Tatiana Nicole Del Toro
This CRAZY latina toned down her strangeness for a great performance that was slightly out of tune.  I was impressed overall though.  The judges like her better weird but the demure weird is just as enjoyable in my opinion.  i mean its american idol top 36, not american idol the rejects week.  

Top 3
1. Anoop
2. Alexis
3. Danny

honorable mention - Tatiana

honorable mention 2 - Ricky and Stephen

the rest..bye bye bye.

Cinderella Time

These are pictures of my old apartment on Denny and 18th, the night I cleaned it all up.  Pretty impressive, eh?  I bid adieu that night and got ready for my new place 12 blocks away!
