OK, I really thought (and hoped) it was going to be Brooke voted off this week…..good grief, she can sing ok enough, a little too bland for me, but can she please STOP all the POUTING!! Week after week, she stands there with a teary-eyed pout like a spoiled 6-year-old (and believe me, I’m quite familiar with that look) as the judges have their say. But as it turns out she’s Vote For the Worst‘s latest pick. (We have THEM to thank for inflicting Sanjaya upon us last year….in case you wondered…..) So lucky for Brooke, she’s safe for a while I guess….

My thoughts about the others? Because I know you want my .02 on this subject.

Syesha = I think she’s good, but I’m just now ‘wowed’ by her because I’m not a big fan of the diva style of singing. I’ve never bought a CD from ANY of the divas….Mariah, Celine, Whitney…etc…..just not for me. BUT I do have to say, that LAST song with the red dress and piano….wow!! Loved it. I could watch THAT kind of performance every week; just not the heart-felt love ballads. She does have the attractiveness factor; she definitely LOOKS like a star and I love her hair. #4 for me.

Carly = I’m sorry, but I was glad to see her go. I liked her voice and style, but I didn’t care for her attitude, AND she’s already had a CONTRACT!! Not exactly undiscovered talent. That should disqualify her IMO.

David A. = My #2 choice, but again, I don’t think he’s really undiscovered talent either, though he is really entertaining to watch.

Jason = I really like his voice, but HE just gets on my nerves a little…. The hair, the song choices, etc., ~ too cheesy for me ~ but still, I have to say he’s my #3 choice. With Brooke being the Vote for the Worst pick, I dare say he’ll probably go home next week??

So my pick for American Idol? Drum roll please…..

I LOVE him. I will DEFINITELY buy his CD when it comes out. So there you have it. My American Idol .02.
