So the first two rounds of Hollywood Week (American Idol) is over. I’ve been watching the videos and got three person to really impress me and one group (a trio) during the group performance. The first three person that really stands out among the rest would be Andrew Garcia, Didi Benami, and Crystal Bowersox. Of course, other strong contestants like Katie Stevens, Janell Wheeler, Casey James were in there too. During the group performance, I say that the trio of Janell Wheeler, Jermaine Purifory, and Casey James were doing really great with Neyo’s ‘Closer’.

Yep, after these two episodes, we can pick up some good and bad ones – but that’s just fairly obvious. Ever wonder about those contestants that surprised you? Due to how they look like, you thought they might suck so bad but to your surprise they can really sing very well! Or it could be the other way around: contestants that look good but singing it so bad (but I’m not posting them, sorry)! I think there’s a few from these first two episodes and these three videos were a proof of that. Check them out, who would have thought these guys could SING?! Hope they’ll be serious in Hollywood Week ‘though…
Right, so the first two days of American Idol audition got aired already and there we’ve seen the guest judges: Victoria Beckham and Mary J Blige. Now I try to avoid making this comparison, but I think (at least for me), Mary J Blige gets the job done right. She talks like a real judge, she interacts with the contestant, she’s laughing on the bad ones and she’s not just sitting in there blinking an eye for an hour. I think Victoria is sweet, but I can’t feel her presence during the audition (not unless if the camera takes a focus on her with that terrible eyeshadow). Not to mention about her giving comments with a ridiculous British accent is just useless. Don’t bother giving comments if the viewers can’t even understand those words then. Anyway, the first two days were great. Can’t wait to see Shania next week!
The 9th Season is coming next year, and with the new judge (Ellen DeGeneres) we are very excited in this new season. Thus, I came up with the idea of posting my picks for each of the previous season before the ninth season gets into the canvass. Taste differs I know, so don’t feel “bad” if I didn’t pick your favorite.
