Posted by Shmuel at March 14, 2006 6:27 PMLet's see if this sticks:
Why did they so mangle stevie wonder tunes and most of them pick such obscure numbers? Where was Overjoyed (a much better choice for Elliot) or I WISH (a better one for Ace). Gah. I only listened to 3 people's entire performance (Paris, Katharine, Chris)
Chris was not the best last night...I hate his vibrato, and would think that america would get tired of hearing him sing the same style of song over and over. He's still hottest though, on fiyah! Feh. I really don't care anymore.
I just wish I could drop kick kevin into oblivion.
Chris
Katharine
Taylor
Mandisa
Kellie
Ace
Paris
Elliott
Lisa
Kevin
Bucky
Melissa
What the hell? Who the hell knows who is going to win this mess! How will I defend my title??? Ahem.
I guarantee this will change every week, but let's give it a shot:
1. Chris?
2. Ace
3. Katharine
4. Elliott (my favorite!)
5. Effing Taylor Effing Hicks
6. Paris?
7. Mandisa?
8. Pickler (I think she'll actually place higher on her personality alone. See above with Ace, based on sheer hotness.)
9. Lisa?
10. Kevin
11. Bucky
12. Melissa
9.
Oh dear... this is hard. Pam, wtf? My effing virgin effing ears! Haha. sorry, had to.
Moving right along:
12. Melissa (buh-bye, please)
11. Bucky (although I heart him)
10. Kevin (I adore that little munchkin, but his cuteness can only get him so far, me thinks)
9. Lisa
8. Kellie (I think her naivite (sp?) will keep her, if for nothing else than the "what will she say next?" factor)
7. Taylor (not a huge fan, but last night was good)
6. Mandisa
5. Chris (I think he's good, but I just don't know...)
4. Ace (and I *only* think he'll stay that long due to hotness, and I don't really think he's that hot)
3. Katherine
2. Elliott (I like him)
1. Paris (maybe not, she'll go far no matter what, but since it's so hard to narrow stuff down, I'm sticking to this for now.)
Oof! Tivo not only has missed pretty much all the past men's only shows, but last night decided to record a rerun of America's Next Top Model instead of American Idol, so this is mostly guesswork. I'm not even sure who most of these men are.
Disclaimers over, here's my list:
1. Katharine (Beautiful and can sing, wow!)
2. Paris (Too cutesie to win it.)
3. Chris (Too rocker to win it.)
4. Ace (Are you all mad? He's HAWT!)
5. Taylor (He's so fun, he'll get far.)
6. Kellie (Charmer)
7. Elliot (Not sure who he is, so I just tossed him in somewhere based on online reviews.)
8. Lisa (Good, but not memorable.)
9. Mandisa (Good, but our culture is too looks-based to get her very far, I'm afraid.)
10. Kevin (Aww... cute, but why do I want to kick him?)
11. Bucky (Not sure who he is.)
12. Melissa (Eh.)
Yay, the Shmuel Idol pool!
1. Chris Daughtry
2. Taylor Hicks
3. Kellie Pickler
4. Paris Bennett
5. Mandisa
6. Katharine McPhee
7. Kevin Covais
8. Ace Young
9. Bucky Covington
10. Elliott Yamin
11. Melissa McGhee
