And Then There Were 9...

American Idol has a different theme each week, this week it happened to be Motown week. Over all the contestants did pretty well...here's my opinion:

Best of the night:
Adam- He surprised us all with a cleaned-up look and a tender song that wowed everyone. Definitely a leader in the competition

Allison- She may be 16, but boy can she sing! Her rendition of "Papa was a rolling stone" was fantastic!

Matt- He actually reminds me of Justin Timberlake a lot. I thought he did really well this week and saw no reason for him being the the bottom 3

They didn't shine, but they can still sing:
Lil- I agree with Smokey when he said that Lil could sing the phonebook because it's true, she has a voice! Her song choice Tuesday night however, wasn't up to par

Kris- Reminds me a lot of Jason Maraz. He can really sing, and would sound good on the radio, I just don't know if he could win the competition

On thin ice:
Anoop(dawg)- Anoop wasn't great, he just wasn't. I'll give him another 2-3 weeks before we say "bye bye"

Danny- Usually Danny does a really good job, he had an off night with a not so impressive song choice. Hopefully he'll do better next week, because he is one guy that will make it far in the competition.

GO HOME NOW!:
Scott- He give the same thing every week, all of his songs sound the same...bad. He isn't really worth anything the competition except a pity vote, sorry to say, but it's absolutely true. He just needs to leave and make room for the singers.

Megan- The only reason she's in the competition still is because she is attractive. Her voice is "unique", I'll give her that much, but it's still not good. She did horribly Tuesday night and it shocked me to see her safe...come on America really? try voting for some good singers.

Michael- I agree with what Simon said about Michael only being in the competition, not actually being competition, or whatever he said. He did do really well on Wednesday and should have been saved though, I'll give him that. He really did need to go though.

Well, that's all my American Idol chatter for now

Have YOU caught the Twilight Fever?

*Just to prove my point, as I was typing this, my mom yelled at me from the hallway "Twilight starts in 5 minutes!"*

So, in case you haven't heard about Twilight, it's the first book in a series of 4 books by Stephanie Meyer. For the most part it's a really good series...they made the first book into a movie and the second book is being made into a movie now.
But all this hype about Twilight is just giving me a headache. People are making it better than it is. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of the series, and the film-makers did a fantastic job with the movie (especially since books are always hard to make into a movie), but fans are taking it to a whole new level. Personally, I don't see why you have to stand in line at your local movie/book selling place to buy a movie that you can simply get it at a reasonable hour...I don't know, that's just my opinion...

Advice:
- read the books...then see the movie
-As I always say: Like the books, hate the fan club

Well that's all for now

Is Spring Here YET?!?!

So, I am a huge fan of winter, mainly because of the snow. It always looks so pretty, and it's really fun to play in, but enough is enough! Sunday was beautiful; warm, sunny, happy, then yesterday it snowed and it's back to cold gross weather again. There has been soo much snow (and I think we'll be in school until the end of June now) not to mention the cold weather without snow is just plain upsetting. I want my spring time!!! Warm, tree climbing, nice walk, tee-shirt weather....let's hope it comes SOON
