Now that American Idols back on, I'll be doing my weekly, "Who Goes Home" post. I admit, I've been hooked since the beginning. But this season has been a little rough for me.
With Paula gone the show seems to be missing something...kookiness, goofiness, unpredictability...something to lighten up the extra negative judging that's been going on this season. I love Ellen DeGeneres' humor...but it seems to be missing on the show. She has turned into a music critic instead of a comedian. It gets a little monotonous.
They also all seem to give contradictory advice, "Change it up, make it your own", "You changed it up too much", confusing comments and feedback, constantly. It's like an entire panel of Simon's. They've lost the fun they used to have when Paula was there.
Wooo, now that I've gotten that off my chest, here's who I liked & who I think is going home this week:
BOYS
Liked:
Michael Lynch
Lee Dewyze
Alex Lambert
Going Home:
Jermaine Sellers
Tim Urban
GIRLS
Liked:
Crystal Bowersox
Lilly Scott
Katelyn Epperly
Going Home:
Katie Stevens
Didi Benami
One more thing...I have a song that I think Crystal Bowersox should sing~4 Non Blondes Song: What's Up. Remember that old song? It's perfect for her & I'd love to hear her version of it.
So there you have it...we'll see how I do with my predictions.

American Idol-Who Went Home 5/13/09
CLICK HERE FOR 5/19/09 Prediction
I was very surprised at the final result. Kris Allen is good but I honestly think Danny Gokey has a better voice (yes anonymous I did listen to only the songs and not the judges). Kris was off key a few times on both of his songs...but I really liked his second song even with the bum notes.
Danny however brought me to tears with his second song! I'm sad to see Danny go home, but several other past Idols have had amazing careers without winning. I can't wait to see what he does in the future.
Adam Lambert will be hard to beat next week...but Kris seems to be pulling off a lot of upsets this season. I will be interesting to say the least!

American Idol-Who Went Home 4-29-09
CLICK HERE for 5/19/09 Prediction
CLICK HERE for 5/6/09 Prediction
WHAT? Adam Lambert almost eliminated? This was a shocker...Adam has never been in the bottom two. If I wanted to really analyze it, I would have to say that everyone just assumed Adam would get the votes and used their call to save someone else.
Now, back to my previous post, I did get half of the bottom two correct. Matt Giraud and Adam stood side by side awaiting their fate. Waiting, waiting, waiting, through Natalie Cole, Taylor Hicks and Jaime Foxx's performances. Put yourself in their place, could you imagine having to sit there through an entire show trying to smile and act happy? Unable to enjoy the celebrity performances, what a terrible place to be in! While the other "saved" contestant sit in their victory chairs, laughing, clapping, and singing along. I think I would want to run over and knock them off their little stools...OOPS...sorry, I got caught up in the whole thing for a moment, I wouldn't really do that!
Finally they announced that Matt Giraud would be going home (which was my final prediction). Tune in next week...I'm getting pretty good at this!

I have to say that I love that "Rat Pack" era of music. The big band playing behind the crooners...very cool and sexy! Tonight American Idol brought in a surprise celebrity to help the singers, Jaime Foxx! He seemed to give good advice because all of the contestants sounded GREAT!
But since someone has to go, I'll give you my weekly pick. Now this is a hard one for me tonight, but let's start with my favorite...drum roll...wait for it....Danny Gokey! I thought he was absolutely AMAZING! Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta used their powerhouse voices to bring the crowd to their feet (but for some reason it seemed like the crowd was on their feet all night). I think Chris Allen was a little boring tonight. Matt Giraud has a strong voice but seems a bit fearful each week. I always think he's going to cry when the judges say something mean. Watch next time...you'll see what I mean.
My pick for the bottom two is Matt Giraud and Allison Iraheta. I don't think Allison deserves to be in the bottom again, but I think the whole "lack of personality" thing that the judges point out every week, along with Simon's comment will pursuade the public.
Matt Giraud will be the next to leave American Idol. There you have it...make sure you leave your pick and we'll see who's right!

American Idol-Who Went Home
CLICK HERE for 5/19/09 Prediction
Click HERE to see 5/5/09 Prediction
NO ONE...yes it's true, the judges finally used their "Judges Save" card. I predicted that either Anoop "Dog" Desai or Lil Rounds would go home. I wasn't too far off, they were both in the bottom three. However, Matt Giraud ended up singing for the save. Paula and Kara both were up dancing on their feet...the crowd was chanting, "SAVE, SAVE, SAVE." I was happy when Simon announced that they would in fact save him.
All the other contestants were hugging and congratulating him when Simon pipes in with his usual cheery comments, bursting their bubble, "I wouldn't be so happy and quick to congratulate him, this means TWO people go home next week" (or something to that effect). My husband actually said almost the exact same thing (Simon Jr.) before Simon did!
Next week should be very interesting!

CLICK HERE for Update 4-28-09 prediction!
Adam Lambert was amazing as usual tonight. I don't think anyone will be able to beat him. His voice is ridiculous, showmanship amazing and always original. Allison Iraheta will be the final girl standing and will be battling it out with Adam at the end. I feel that Anoop "Dog" Desai or Lil Rounds will be the next to go home, however I always seem to forget about Chris Allen...he is forgettable and had a weak performance. I thought Matt Giraud did better than the judges gave him credit for. Danny Gokey will be in the final three, he is consistently good.
There's my predictions this week...let me know what you think!

American Idol-Who Goes Home?
CLICK HERE FOR 5/19/09 Prediction
Wow! That was a great show. This year probably has the most talent ever. So after last nights country show, the question is, "Who should go home?" My favorite of the night was Danny Gokey...that song always gets me. I wasn't very impressed with Scott McIntyre's performance, I don't think his voice is as strong as the other contestants. If they are basing it on voices only, I think he should go home tonight but people are very sympathetic to his disability.
The judges didn't like Michael Sarver last night, but I thought he was great. He should definitely receive a country contract with someone. Now about Adam Lambert's rendition of "Ring of Fire," it was kind of freaky, a little Goth/Nine Inch Nails vibe. This particular Johnny Cash song is "our" song (every couple has an anthem and this is ours.) So that middle eastern version was a little hard for us to get. But I have to admit, his voice is incredible, he's different (stands out) and he kind of looks like a young Elvis Presley. Before you say, "WHAT IS SHE TALKING ABOUT," take a look. Watch when he sings...there's something that is really similar.
I loved Megan Joy Corkery...yes, I'm a fan of hers. She was even sick and did great. And what about Anoop Dog Desai? Last week I said he should've gone home...this week I loved him and I'm glad he's still in it.
So my prediction about who's going home tonight...Michael Sarver...but I'm hoping that he stays.
