American Idol...

Hey Kanakuk Gals!
Well, it's Wednesday...that being said it's time for my American Idol rundown. I love that I think people even care about my take on American Idol. (I'm just laughing in my office right now...I just wish you all could be here with me, probably laughing at me). Anyways, first off I need to go back to last week's result show...seriously people...Lilly Scott. What in the world!? I was devastated. I know Katie has a huge following but Lilly Scott should have been in the Top 12. She was so unique and let's be honest that I adored her earrings (or were they hair attachments). Anyways, I was pretty ticked...okay, I admit it that I let American Idol affect my mood. But now I'm over it because I think Katie will be sent home tonight...well, that's my prediction at least. She just needs to "grow more as an artist." (I should be a judge on Idol...just say grow and make it your own a lot and you are a shoo-in).

Also was pretty sad about Alex Lambert...he was just so nice. I truly liked his unique voice and I mean you gotta root for the guy with a mullet, on purpose mullet. So I was pretty sad on him too...I would have rather Aaron Kelly go home. I know he is 16 and all the little girls love him but he just isn't my fav. The judges like adore Aaron but his weird hip dancing is awkward and I feel awkward watching.

So...last night show...all in all I still hold true to my favs...Big Mike, Krystal DreadLocks-Sox (I just renamed her), Lacey Brown, Lee Dewizzy (also renamed him),Siobhan Quirky Magnus (she is totally growing on me and makes me laugh), Tim FratBoy from OleMiss Urban (also renamed)...there are so many I adore...

Prediction for Tonight: (if I'm right do I get anything...no Ashley you don't...did I just type in 3rd person...weird)...So Long Katie Stevens...

Be awesome, Love Jesus, and watch for me as a new guest judge for season 11,

Okay, American Idol...

Hey Kanakuk Girlies!

Okay, I admit that American Idol is one of my fav shows! We had my best friend and her hubby over last night to watch the Top 12 Guys go. Jennifer and I (you can check out her K1 Kanakuk Blog: Click here) LOVE American Idol! So anyways, we waited till 7:25 pm to start it so we can fast forward through all commercials (Genius, right?) and began our journey of being our own Idol judges in good 'ole Branson.

Who were your favs? I must admit Tuesday night I was left not impressed...at all! Simon thinks it's the year of the girls but goodness, they have some improving to do. But let's be real honest I, and most Americans, would have been a nervous wreck on that stage so nerves are understandable.

Okay, so here are my thoughts (please don't comment not nicely...only your opinions and fun light hearted comments...thanks!)

1. Judges: I truly do think Ellen is funny on her daytime show but I just have not really liked her on the show. I thought she would be the funny, well, just funny voice but it has come across to me as just another 4th judge to agree or say something not that funny. There have been some awkward moments and I feel like she talks about young girls voting for all the handsome guys a lot which is just weird. Anyways, I like it but literally when it comes to the judges I just wait for Simon (sometimes Randy) and that's the only judge I care to listen too. Jennifer and I decided that Kara, who I know is super talented and a great songwriter, well, I just don't love her as a judge. (please don't comment that I'm judging her...I am constructively telling an opinion on a TV show where there job is to be a judge...I'm sure Kara is very nice and sweet in person as far as her personality but as far as her job as a AI judge, I'm just not a fan)

2. Top 12 Girls: Oh, gooodness, I just wasn't impressed on Tuesday night...hoping it was nerves. Here are my favs in order: Lacey Brown (red head), Lily Scott (white hair), and well, those 2 are my favs and then 3rd place could be several people...Ashley Rodriquez, Katie something, or Paige something....it's a toss up for now.

3. Top 12 Guys: I thought the guys did much better than the girls. Top 3 fav guys in order: Lee Dewyze (2nd from left), Andrew Garcia, and Alex Lambert/Big Mike...it's a toss up between those 2 for my 3rd spot...

4. My Official Top 3 that I love for sure:

A. Lacey Brown: Love her! I secretly (well, not secretly b/c I just typed it on here) love her hair and would love to do that someday when my facial bone structure changes...so therefore I never will. A girl can dream!

B. Andrew Garcia/Lee Dewyze: fan of both of them. I like Lee's voice (he needs some spunk though when he is being interviewed) and Andrew's story just makes me cry and he has great pipes. I have heard that Kirksville K-Life is like fan club of Andrew's. Random fact for ya!

C. Lily Scott: one her name is awesome, two her hair is awesome, and three she is just different. I like her!

Okay, there is my OPINION of Idol last night...any predictions of who will be sent home? I think it might be...oh, I just don't even know who it could be...2 guys and 2 girls I think go home? Yikes!

Be awesome & Love Jesus,

Kanakuk Ashley Robbins
