American Idol…. Season 8 At last…we have an opinion!
This season has been a little less than great for me…I really wasn’t enthused with any of them really during Hollywood rounds. Not that I thought everyone sucked…just that no one really made me go WOW! Even through the top 36 I was not impressed and that’s the stage I found I favored David Cook last year. I think the Top “36″ is a bad idea…too many bad people still in the mix for drama…Tatiana… ugh… just … ugh!
So…yeah… I liked some of these folks that ended up top “13″ but still wasn’t really gung ho…but tonight…I really think separated the wheat from the chaff.
To me and the hubby… the top 5 SHOULD be (in no certain order): Adam Lambert, Kris Allen, Danny Gokey, Allison Iraheta and Matt Giraud. I really like all of them, with Danny actually falling at the end of the list, for me anyway. We’ll see how it shakes out in the weeks to come.
Lil Rounds, while a good singer, isn’t any different than the host of other female R&B stars out there. Scott McIntyre, while it’s impressive how good he plays the piano blind, is really, to be honest not that great of a singer. Megan Corkrey…we liked her…but the quirkiness has begun to wear thin and last night was a train wreck. Anoop, good singer but not someone whose CD I would buy (the tween/teen vote may say otherwise). Michael Sarver…nice guy…won’t win.

Danny is my guy, although I think both Adam and Allison have the entire package and will do very well.
