03-27-09 - Seeing Chikezie go last night wasn't what shocked me at all.  Considering I didn't even have him in my top 10, I knew it was only a matter of time, but seeing Jason Castro and Syesha in the bottom three really threw me for a loop.  How in the world did Ramielle get out of that?  Don't get me wrong, I actually like Rami, but for to many weeks in a row she's hid that big, powerful voice and if she don't step it up, she's donecakes!  I think next week is Country week and you know what that means right?!?  Kristy Lee Cook might actually stick around another week.  I'll act like I didn't even type that out.  Go Michael J!

04-04-08 - Peace-out Ramielle!   Part of me was bummed because during her audition she belted out this huge voice and i was rooting for her, but after so many horrible weeks, it wasn't a surprise that America kicked her off.  Although, I was really thrown to see Brooke make the bottom three, but then again, Kristy Lee Cook is still on the show.  Michael was by far my favorite of the 'Dolly Parton' night, but I can't leave out my girl Syesha too.  I thought she nailed those super hard 'Whitney Houston' notes and still have her in my Top 3.  Next week is Idol Gives Back, so once again, Kristy Lee, I don't know how you're doing it, but you're safe again!

4-11-08 - Are you freaking kidding me?!?  Is anyone else as annoyed as I am with this week's elimination?  I don't even know where to begin.  Not only would I never predicted Michael being in the bottom three this week, there's NO WAY I would of had him going home.  For the first time this year, I was actually upset after watching Idol this week.  Not even Kristly Lee Cook still being there gets me more annoyed/shocked/blown away than the guy who I picked to win the entire thing MICHAEL JOHNS getting the boot!  Weak-Sauce!!!

4-17-08 - IT'S ABOUT TIME!  It came down to Brooke and Kristy, and although Brooke should have gone (hate to admit that) justice finally prevailed and Kristy Lee Cook got the boot.  I need to be fair though, as much crap that I've given KLC on the air, I found myself actually enjoying her.  Not necessarily her singing (which did get better) but her personality started to win me over a little bit.  But, don't fool yourself, I'm much happier now that she's off the show headed back to her ranch to  dream about her "He won't sell it back to me" horse.  Peace-Out Miss Cook!

4-25-08 - I never was the biggest Carly fan, but I still thought she got robbed.  This week it should have been Brooke or Jason going home.  I thought for sure with her tats covered up two weeks in a row and her husband actually smiling on camera, she was gonna be safe, but once again America threw me for a loop.  The big question is will Carly land another record deal (she already had one that tanked) and finally hit the bigtime?  To be honest, I'm not sure, I do know that she's got a really powerful voice, a hubby with a ton of tats on his face and she gives the craziest looks with her eyes that I've ever seen!

Did you know Carly's old record label spent over 2 million dollars on promoting her debut cd?  It only sold just over 300 copies which you can now get on Amazon for a penny.  Below is the video to her "hit" single.  And look, no tats!

05-01-08 - She messed up songs, she talked over the judges and yet we still loved her!  On a week where Jason Castro should have gone home, we finally had to say goodbye to Brooke.  Let's be honest, we knew she was never going to win, but my goodness, was Brooke one of the most like-able "idols" of all time or what?!?  She could be the nanny of Baby Paper anytime.  What do you think though, does she go on to a huge music career or back to watching people's kids?  I say go for it Brooke.  Take that smile and somewhat decent voice and go grab yourself some time in the spotlight.

05-08-08 - And then there were three.  After jackin' up the lyrics like that, did JC really have a chance to stay?  He was never going to win this thing, but man it was fun having the 'dreaded' one around.  When Simon asked him, "What were you thinking," after he played that Bob Marley song and Jason replied with, "I was thinking Bob Marley!"  That was one of my favorite Idol moments of this season!  I'll miss ya Jay but I'm sure we haven't heard the last of you.

05-15-08 - As much as I wanted David A to get kicked off this week, I knew my girl Syesha was gonna go!  I thought, for the most part, the judges (even Simon who I love) gave her a rough time throughout this entire thing.  Although, if you go back in Idol history, the third place Idol typically goes on to do big things.  I'll be okay with her getting the boot, just as long as David C rises up and punks 'The Archuleta'.  GO COOK!

05-23-08 - As Season 7 comes to an end, let me say this first - MICHAEL JOHNS should have won!  With that out of the way, it was glorious to see David C take it over David A.  Lil' a has an amazingly consistent sounding voice, but if you're looking marketability, David Cook was the clear-cut winner.  It was great to finally see a 'rocker' take home the crown and I hope DC has as much success as the Big D.  Don't think to hard on that one.  Well, until next year, Simon we'll miss your mouth, Randy we'll miss you saying the same things every week and Paula we'll miss every second of your craziness.  There's only one Paula Abdull and the loopier the better.   Here's to Season 8!!!
