Idol Chatter: The Battle of the Davids

I called it in Hollywood! I knew Syesha would make the top 10 (at least!) But I really think as I've thought for a few weeks now that it'll be the battle of the Davids tonight. As you can tell this topic is really important to me.
VS.

It's down to this: Who's got the biggest fan club?

I agreed last night with the judges on pretty much everything. Like the first time David A. sang the word, "Boo". As in, "my boo." My face twitched like I just sucked on a sour lemon. It was just weird.

And the second song David C. sang, when it ended I thought, that's it? It felt completely unfinished.

Other than that, I have to say I haven't written that much about Idol this season because there was (sadly) not that much to make fun of! There was no Sanjaya or Justin Guarini or Constantine making love to the camera or beat boxing Blake Lewis, Elvira Overmyer, none of that. There are just plain old good singers. Really good singers. And who wants to hear recaps of really good singing? But I really do miss sitting on my couch eating ice cream and acting like the old-man-muppets-on-the-balcony. Instead, it's been me, sitting on the couch, eating a Body for Life bar and watching really good singing. Sigh. There is always next season.

In my Idol opinion

Jason Castro rocked the hizzouse tonight! Yes, I said hizzouse. I love that version of Over the Rainbow, I used to sing it all the time in the car when I was pregnant with Poops. And Jason's version was spectacular.

Christy Lee pulled it off nice tonight! She really is hanging in there and I think she's gonna make it through another week! My little felicity name-sister!

Too bad our friend David Cook didn't do all that well, I honestly felt like I was at a performance of Lion King on Broadway. And I was so looking forward to Dream On by the Australian because I thought that would be the perfect song for him, but I was disappointed. Carly's on the so-so list, and as much as I like her, I really just don't understand her outfits. Brooke sang You've Got a Friend, and I love that song because it reminds me of the 70's growing up and it's always kind of been our family song. But it was just kind of ok for me as Randy would say. What I don't understand is why the lighting guys always match the lights to her outfits. I don't know if they do that with the other singers and it's just more noticeable with her or what. Like a couple weeks back when she wore yellow, sang about sunshine and had big bright yellow lights all around her. It was like Bee Movie the Musical.

Anyway, I guess I like my little David Archuletta, but he does that Melinda Dolittle thing where they compliment him and he acts like, "Who, me?? Really? You think I'm good?" It bugs me a little. Didja see the sign in the background that a girl was holding that said "Lick those Lips!" ?? That was weird.

In sum: going home: Syesha. Never ever sing a former Idol's song. That's my motto. Meanwhile, I'm off to go download Jason Castro's song.
