American Idol has been on for years so maybe none of you cares who wins but for lack of any TV to watch the hub and I have watched the entire 7th season of American Idol this time around. Last season I was lucky enough to go to a live taping. It was the Bon Jovi night and to be there in the audience while everyone is performing is really such a cool experience. I have been to many TV tapings before but going to a live TV taping such as American Idol or The Tonight Show is much more fun because you are done in an hour and usually people are all pumped up. Once I went to a Friends taping (the one were the boys fall asleep on the couch together) and it took at least 8 hours to shoot. At the time I thought the show would be a breeze because Friends was such a hit, I'd figure they were pro's, but nope, I left after 8 hours because it was so cold in the studio. They taped on after I left!
Anyhoo, this season of American Idol has had some really good singers. At first it was hard for me to decide who to cheer for. I really wanted Chickezee to go further but I believe he had fatal song choice and boom he is off. I also liked the Irish Carly who I believe got kicked off way too soon. Early on I liked Brooke but then she seemed to get worse. I have no idea why Jason Castro last a long as he did (Carly was better). Later on I was really impressed with Syesha. She kept getting better and better each week. It was like suddenly one week her little shining star magic turned on and every time she was on screen you knew she was going to be a star. Unlike that other girl Kristy Lee Cook who was nice enough but really there was nothing magic about her.
Who I didn't like throughout the competition was that Archuleta kid. I grant you he is a good singer but I didn't like any of his song choices and really his dancing and goofy smile just turned me off. He seemed like a pod person programmed to smile. I would more likely listen to Syesha and David Cook's style of music. I really, really, wanted those two to go to the finals. I knew that wouldn't likely be the case so for the first time in my life I picked up the phone and called to vote for a contestant. I tried several times but never got through. If only I had gotten through perhaps she wouldn't have left last night? Anyhoo, I hope she does well after the show. It was nice to see this year that past contestants who didn't finish in first are still getting contracts and doing well (Like Bo Bice). Next week my vote goes to David Cook! I loved the way he rejiggered songs to his own style. In all areas he is a performer. The other David, he needs to learn how to dance and construct sentences.
