For American Idol’s top three: Paris, Katharine, Chris. Not that there isn’t an overload of vocal talent this season, but those three just have fire. I think one of my favorite things about American Idol is that, even though there can only be one winner and the winner will probably end up singing a genre of pop that I don’t listen to (unless it’s Chris – rock on, dude), it’s such a great venue for new vocalists to be seen. I love seeing new talent get a jump start. I have yet to buy an album from anyone who has ever been on the show (or to vote), but I have no doubt many of this season’s contestants will go on to have lucrative careers. (And I hope Taylor Hicks hooks up with a band because he would be a great front man.)
I’d also like to share a bit of Keen wisdom, who turned to me in the middle of Kevin Covais’ performance tonight and said, “I finally figured out who he reminds me of… Sherman.” As in Mr. Peabody’s Sherman. I know everyone is calling him Chicken Little, but seriously take a look…
Hush you! (snicker)
In other TV scenes, is it just me or has Jack’s character become awfully two-dimensional? “You have my word.” Psshh! – the weirdgirl
Nice call by Keen on the Kevin “Sherman” Covais reference. Chicken Little has GOT TO GO!
Whatever cartoon character you believe Kevin looks like, he really needs to go. He and Bucky just don’t belong there.
I was really ticked that Sway got booted, failing to make the top 12. He really had amazing vocal talent, but dressed too pimpy.
I think Katherine and Chris will go far. Paris is so talented, but her head jerks just get on my nerves. It’s so ghetto.
Taylor is great, but his song last night sucked. Plus, why did they put him in a suit that matches his hair? He looked like a silver bullet!
Yeah, I think Kevin has got to go too. But I think Bucky is on his way out this week.
It is kind of funny, the two demographics who NEVER seem to make it to the top 12 are rocker chicks and Asian males. What’s up with that?
We have a pool at work. 🙂 I picked Katharine to win, and I have Kevin going out this week but I have a feeling he may hang on, annoying as it is!
My bet is on katherine or Paris to win…but chris is good too.
Your top 3 is mine as well. Seems to be much greater talent this year than in years past. And each singer is very distinct as well.
He does look like Sherman. You have a keen eye.
