Top 12 Guys and Top 12 Girls

Brett Loewenstern (Light My Fire) – I actually hate watching him.. he’s not that good at all.

Jovanny Baretto (I’ll Be) – I hate his song. haha. So-so lang yung boses nya..

Clint Jun Gamboa (Superstition) – He’s good, but no appeal at all. Kulang sa charm.. yup, that’s one of the requirements.

James Durbin (You’ve Got Another Thing Coming) – Yes, he can definitely hit that high note, in an adam lambert way. I dunno if i will like it or not.

Jacob Lusk (A House Is Not A Home) – My fave performance of the night. I love the way he control his voice.

Jordan Dorsey (OMG) – Ang tawag sa ginawa nya? Suicide.

Casey Abrams (I Put A Spell On Yo) – I also like his rough, raspy voice… but not yet a fan..

Tim Halperin (Sweet Corner Serenade) – He’s one of my favorite… but he chose the wrong song.. 😦 sayang!!

Stefano Langone (Just The Way You Are) – He started really bad.. pero nakabawi naman.. but his version of JTWYA is not that amazing.. there’s something wrong eh.. at least for me.

Paul McDonald (Maggie May) – His voice is unique.. and also his moves!! (but i dont like the moves, ok?)…

Robbie Rosen (Angel) – Hindi nagwork yung pagkulot-kulot ng voice.. his voice is ok naman.. wrong song choice again, i must say.

Scotty McCreery (Letters From Home) – He’s too much country.. not a fan!

Ashthon Jones (Love All Over Me) – She’s ok too.. and the attitude, i like it.

Kendra Chantelle (Impossible) – I didn’t like her version of this christina aguilera song.. sobrang tinis ng voice nya.

Julie Zorrilla (Breakaway) – She killed it.. in a bad way!

Haley Reinhart (Fallin’) – Karylle?? lol.. seriously, i dont like her… ang labo ng lyrics nya… kinakain yung letra.

Rachel Zevita (Criminal) – another suicide… sayang ang ilang years ng pag-aaudition.

Naima Adedapo (Summertime) – I looove her voice.. parang Megan Joy Corkey yung dating nya sakin. Like her!

Ta-Tynisa Wilson (Only Girl In The World) – She’s the Jordan Dorsey of the girls.. nagsuicide sa song choice.

Karen Rodriguez (Hero) – nothing special on her performance.. marunong lang syang magspanish.. yun lang!

Thia Megia (Out Here On My Own) – I LOVE HER! syempre pinoy pride!! Hopefully versatile din sya when it comes to performances.

Lauren Turner (Seven Day Fool) – I actually enjoyed her performance.. maybe she would stand out more kung ibang song kinanta nya

Lauren Alaina (Turn On The Radio) – Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood? She reminds me of Allison Iraheta

Pia Toscano (I’ll Stand By You) – She truly deserved the Standing O.

And then they picked the TOP 13:

Scotty McCreery, Lauren Alaina, Pia Toscano, Karen Rodriguez, Jacob Lusk, Casey Abrams, Thia Megia, Paul McDonald, Haley Reinhart, James Durbin, Ashton Jones, Stefano Langone, Naima Adedapo

American Idol 08 – First week – top 13

Lil Rounds – The Way you make me feel
– I really enjoyed her performance.. Love her so much! I can hear and see a lil of Fantasia in her, but she still has that uniqueness.. Her voice is still different from Fantasia.

Scott MaCyntire – Keep the faith
– His performance, for me, is very forgettable.. I don’t even remember right at this moment how he sang it.  It was so safe, not so polished, not the best vocal on this season.

Danny Gokey – PYT
– I know his vocal is really different/unique. But I still don’t like it. Not my thing I guess. But if I’ll choose between  him and Adam Lambert, I’ll opt to Danny.

Michael Sarver – You are not alone
– He can really sing.. hmm, but I still need to see him doing other genra of song. Maybe another week for him

Jasmine Murray – I’ll be there
– The fact that this song is a Michael Jackson song, AND the fact that Mariah Carey sang it already, it is sooo big! But I think she did good, but not really well compared with the other contestants. 😦

Kris Allen – Remember the time
– He definitely sounds and looks good with his guitar. Tulad ng sabi ni Acer, way better than Michael Castro but definitely not that good enough as Jason Mraz!! 😛 Naawa lang ako sa wife nya 😦

Allison Iraheta – Give in to me
– Rock on!! Love the angst!! Definitely another week for her

Anoop Desai – Beat It
– Err.. why?! Do you want me to beat you with that?! Sana ibang song nalang kinanta nya.. sumabit pa sya sa kanta nya.. tsk tsk.. and what a dull ending 😦

Jorge Nunez – Never can say goodbye
– very cheesy.. really don’t like him from the start.. oh please!

Megan Joy Corkrey – Rockin Robin
– I really like her too.. very very unique voice! Like she owns all the songs that she sings.. pagbigyan na ang awful dance steps.. hopefully mawala na yun sa mga susunod na next week.

Adam Lambert – Black or White
– I still hate the shouting part.. yeah he did stand out this week. But I still dont like him.. still over the top performance.. at sobrang OA ni Paula.. amfufu. Hindi lang sya ang comfortable sa stage no.. adik talaga si Paula haha

Matt Girraud – Human Nature
– I kinda like it, pero medyo hindi rin.. ok lang.. But he is definitely good, full of soul and blues..

Alexis Grace – Dirty Diana
– It was a good performance, but not enough to blow me away.. I like to see her other side.. maybe a mellow/ballad song.

~ 0 ~ 0 ~ 0 ~

American Idol’s Top 13 (season 08)

When the top 36 was announced in AI8, we (the AI fans in rxmorningrush.com) made our predictions on who will succeed on entering the top12.. so here’s my list before:

Male
-Anoop Desai
-Danny Gokey
-Matt Giraud
-Stephen Fowler/Brent Keith/Kris Allen
-Michael Sarver
-Kai Kalama

Female
-Jasmine Murray
-Lil Rounds
-Alexis Grace
-Anne Marie Boskovich
-Casey Carlson
-Stevie Wright/Kendall Beard/Arianna Asfar

Medyo marami pa akong choices that time. Kasi naman some of their performances during Hollywood week were not featured. And this list is not really a prediction. More of my favorites that time.  Kasi alam ko din naman na may ibang makakapasok sa top 12 na hindi ko gusto.

So ayun, last week, dineclare na ang top 13!! Yes, not 12 but 13!! And with my predictions, I got 8/12. not bad 🙂
