It's all about the small things right? So i've decided to list 3 arbitrary, small, trivial things that i think are good. that i think are actually great.
1. grapefruit , sliced in half, with 1 (one) sugar packet sprinkled on each half.
2. my new white blazer
3. the moon in any form!
I encourage every to think of 3 arbitrary good things they like. NOW to the subject matter at hand..American Idol Tonight.
OMG JLo's hair. NOTHING is more flawless. So tonight's theme is songs written by Carole King. Since it is not nearly contemporary enough for me, I expect that this night will be mediocre and fairly boring. Time will tell.
Jacob Lusks suit- bad. Real bad. Oo I got excited because I thought that was him playing piano. Turns out it's another dude. All I have to say is Jacob Lusk has gots to Go. Not even remotely interested in hearing him sing, and I think the majority of America agrees.
Next up is Lauren Alaina. I actually like her dress and I think it looks good on her. As for her singing, not so hot. Just mediocre. I think that has a lot to do with the song. If she sang a better song, it would make all the difference. Those blonde backup singers, boy sitting with her that she's singing to/at, man on small keyboard, man on guitar, are all weird. Oh good Randy agrees the song was boring. Lauren Alaina has grown on me these past couple of weeks, I do think she is a great singer, and a genuine human being, I'm just not into country, therefore i do not think she should be the next American Idol.
Okay so as for the duets, I'm not commenting because I think they're dumb.
3rd singer is Scotty. EW is that a blue leather jacket? Stop it. Awful. His performance is a snoozefest, but at least its not as offensively awful as his typical country "crooning." Okay fine i kinda liked him SINGING THIS SONG ONLY. i do not like him. I liked him singing this song. Moving on.
James Durbin. I'm excited to hear him sing because he's been really good lately. He's singing Will you love me Tomorrow... Oo really good. This is a great song, and he is singing it really really well. Best performance of the night so far, by far. That's something i would actually download and listen to.
Randy has said the word "cheek" one too many times tonight.
The odds of me watching the Lauren Alaina - Scotty duet are slim to not happening. Fast forwarding.
Casey's hat is weird. Fedora's are not okay. Casey is played outttt. I think he's going home this week. This performance is not up to par. The saxophone player is doing a better job than him singing. James Durbin was 345 times better.
Last is Haley. I like Haley. I don't think this is her most amazing performance to date, but it's okay. She brought it home at the end, to finish out the song. I agree with Randy that the beginning was slow.
So that's it for tonight. Casey and Jacob will definitely be bottom two. I hope everyone has a lovelllly night, a-di-os!

Hi All!
I just finished a delectable meal consisting of 12 pieces of matzah pizza, and I am looking forward to identical suppers for the next 5 nights. Actually I'm lying, tomorrow I plan to mix it up with cold cuts (on matzah) , but all other nights, matzah pizza. Holla!
Okay, back to the subject at hand; I am SO ready for American Idol tonight. Tonight's theme is "hits from the 21st Century" -- i am fully expecting Scotty to sing an awful awful country song, but I'm hoping some of them pick fun ones. It's a good theme; finally songs that are popular and are known by the general public. (save for Scotty, who, as previously stated, will pick an aforementioned awful song.)
Oooo I do not like Jenny Lo's outfit tonight! It's very G and G , very Strawberry. The point I'm making is it looks cheap. Not loving it.
OMG WHY ARE THEY BRINGING NAIMA BACK ON THE STAGE. help help help. so bad. Oh good and here's Paul McDonald, sounding horrible, and wearing the apparent only piece of clothing he owns, his rose suit. Omg Naima is jumping everywhere. She needs to be removed from the stage by security.
Oh Pia, you are so awesome! Sad.
Aright well first up is Scotty, and I have muted his entire performance, thereby making it unable for me to comment on it. When's he going to go awayyyy??
Ooo, the judges didn't like him! They obviously read my blog, woke the H up, and realized that Scotty sucks. Thanks judges for reading my blog! Buh-bye Scotty McCreery aka Alfred E Neuman aka McCreepy aka EWww thats an awful camel colored coat.
2nd on stage is James Durbin singing Muse, Uprising. He is really trying to look like Adam Lambert with the shoulder pads and capri pants. He also appears to be holding some sort of wand. And/or whip, can't decipher. So I did think that he killed the first chorus of the song. In a good way. It was really really well sung. The second chorus was a little to high for me, kinda made my head hurt. But all in all it was a really good performance. He did awesome, and it was a GREAT popular song choice. Good job James!
Did Steven Tyler just compare James to a T-Rex? He makes no sense. That's the first and hopefully last dinosaur reference I'll hear on idol.
Wow yay I'm already excited for Hayley, because she chose Adele's Rolling in the Deep. An awesome song that is so right now. I feel like her dress is wrong for the song though. It's a happy picnic dress, not right. She should've worn a short black dress and her hair crazy curly like it was in the beginning. Anyhow she sounds awesome, and she's great.
Next up is Jacob Lusk. His suit is very metallic, and he looks like the tin man. Very emotional performance by Jacob! Again, I don't love his voice. I've been over him since week deux, and I think he may be out tomorrow.
Next is Casey Abrams singing Maroon 5 which I'm excited about. Ohh i like this song! I think he's singing it well. Okay he's very awkwardly marching over to the crowd and slapping them five. He's more like slapping their hands kinda violently actually. A hahah he just kissed JLo on the cheek...I actually LOL'ed that was an awesome move. Hahahaha. I did think that was a really good performance. Notice how everyone who is doing awesome is singing POPULAR songs. It's just a better choice.
And here's Stefano singing Neo. Oh no he's making weird gyrating moves. What, did he just come from the firehouse? Why the suspenders? Gosh these outfits are awful tonight. I think the background singers are singing more than him. I gotta say this is the worst performance of the night. (Not counting Scottys performance, which i muted, i'm actually pretending he's not even on the show anymore, so i don't even count him.) Anyhow I think Jacob and Stefano are next to go.
Final performance is Lauren Alaina singing a stupid country song. Awful hair, cute hoops! Over the performance. It's just o.k.
Steven Tyler's critiques are absolutely useless. JLo is so pretty, I forgive her for her dress tonight. And on those points, that's it for tonight! James Durbin was definitely the best, Hayley was awesome, and Casey was good too. Boltax out!

Hi All. After spending a good portion of my week thinking about denouncing my American citizenship due to the fact that our country voted off Pia Toscano over the likes of Scotty McCreery, I've decided to remain American and watch idol tonight to see how things go.
Like seriously, what a joke! oy.
At least J-Lo never fails to look anything less than stellar. Super cute tonight J-Lo, super cute.
1st up is Paul McDonald who I am already not at all excited to see because of his
a) dumb outfit he wears literally EVERY week and
b) his stupid bio we just saw talking about how he wants every song to be an "encore" song for his "show." what "show?" What are you saying Paul.
Why am I watching Paul McDonald flail around the stage when i could be watching Pia T doing her thing and actually having a great voice and singing well. Why America, Why?
Question: are the judges being paid to only compliment everyone? It's actually painful. Wow his teeth are white. He's definitely got that goin for him. But that's about it.
Next up is Lauren ALAINA singing Miley frickin Cyrus. I don't know who is more fundamentally annoying: Lauren Alaina or Miley Cyrus. Lauren Alaina singing Miley is almost too much for me to handle. What's worse is Lauren's poofy tutu thing and those cowboy boots.
K she's not really killing this song. I do acknowledge she has a good voice, but I didn't love this. She can do better. You cannot even compare her abilities to Pia, and no i do NOT think she will be taking Pia's votes. Oh, surprise of the century, the judges have no constructive criticism for Lauren. AND Steven Tyler is making no sense.
Wow her dress is awful.
Third up is Stefano. I do like Stefano. I think he's doing a good job this week. It's not epic but it's good! Probably one of his own best performances on idol. Do I think he's going to be America's next superstar singing sensation? No. Is he better than the first two we heard? Yes, for sure. Oh Randy agrees with me about this being his best song. And next is Steven Tyler, once again making Zero sense. Aw Stefano, I'm proud of him. He's a qt.
On another positive note, i'm SO glad I never have to hear Naima again. How awful was she??
Okay great, here's Scotty singing a country song that I've never heard of in my life. Did Scotty really just say he's "going back to his country roots?" When has he EVER EVER strayed from his country roots? The only songs he sings are country, and they are all awful. He is so, so, bad.
Seriously, if the judges think he's good, and they don't critique him, I'm officially moving to Canada because i no longer want to live in a country that supports this awful singer.
Well it looks like I'm moving to Canada. Seriously, I'm taking the first plane out of JFK. Can't deal. Scotty is AWFUL! I hope the bagels are good in Canada. (Bagels are an intrinsic and important part of my diet.)
Casey A is next singing Natureboy? What is that? Is that a song? K so the beginning of the song kinda sucked, I'm a little bit over his whole shtick. The end is picking up, he's cool, he's different, I'm just to be honest, kinda over him. Cool song though. The beginning was so slow it kind of ruined it for me. The end picked up though, for sure.
Wow okay so after some further research on my own during the commercial break, I realized that Nature Boy is actually a really really cool song by Nat King Cole. I just listened to the original, and its pretty bad ass. Casey is now a little bit cooler for choosing that song.
Next up is Haley bop singing Blondie's Call Me. I think she'll do really well and i'm looking forward to hearing her! She's my fave thus far. Ohhh i like her boots! I'm into boots. So there are parts of her performance that are awesome, and others that are just okay. I don't think this is her best performance.
I love how the one time the judges give someone a criticism, they give it to the best people who do NOT deserve the criticism. Haley is the last person that should be criticized. I mean really, nothing bad to say about frickin Scotty and then you tell Haley to choose another song?? Come on. Seriously now.
Haley is my favorite.
Why do Jacob Lusk's suits never seem to fit properly? Very ill-fitted suits every week. But that's neither here nor there. I've been over J-Lusk since episode 2. He has a good voice, he's not going to be the next American Idol, and I think he is going to be eliminated tomorrow.
Tyler Perry is actually speaking gibberish right now to Jacob Lusk. Not making any sense.
Last guy tonight is James Durbin singing with a sketchy looking dude who has luxurious blonde locks. James appears to be doing some sort of a back handstand while this guy plays guitar for like 5 minutes straight. James really isn't singing much, but okay fun performance. The only words he's singing are "call it heavy metal." How long did it take him to memorize those tricky lyrics??? No I don't know, he's a fun performer. He's good, I could see him in the Top 3.
Well, looks like that's all for tonight. My new top 3 are Haley, James, and Stefano. I'd also like to report that I will be muting all future performance of Scotty McCreepster, so I will no longer be commenting on his singing.
Xoxo,
Sam.
