19:31: sa mga nagtatanong kung may yahoogroup na kami, meron na po. just look up 'tinola' in yahoogroups. while you're at it, be spf and join the MaHaSa yahoogroup, na rin. =)
about time i talked about american idol, ya?
here's my top 6, in no particular order.
taylor, the soul spaz with the most distinct voice. great music.
chris, the uncompromising rocker. you got bo and constantine last year, but they are nowhere near this guy. i love that he does not bend to fit america's standards. never ever change, chris!
elliot, the amish boy with soul. his is the kind of voice i melt for. i love his choice of music and his jazzy notes and phrasing.
mandisa, class in a big girl. great voice, too.
paris, the little girl with the big voice. she won me over during auditions when she sang take five. kinda like fantasia, but not quite.
katharine, mcpheever. my female version of elliot. i love her for the same reasons i love elliot, except she's not amish and she's uber pretty. also won me over during her first audition when she sang god bless the child. if i ever meet her, i'd ask her if i could keep her and make her mine.
but... i don't want any of my top 6 to win. i've got other ideas.
ace is undeniably hot, but his voice is just blah.
lisa was a favorite of mine during auditions, but left me unimpressed ever since she sang i am changing. sorry. i've been spoiled by having listened to dreamgirls for months when we staged the show. a friend of mine described her as being too 'disney' and i know exactly what that means. it's like she grew up wanting to be in a disney sitcom. almost like an african american girl for the white man's world.
although i'm not a big fan of hers, i want pickler to win. i feel that everyone will do fine on their own, whether or not they win but i think that if any of my top six win, they'll be a bit too packaged and commercialised and i don't want that for any of them. pickler fits the 'idol' image, and i feel that she'd benefit the most from getting the idol deal. plus, she's got the sob story and the charm to back her up. she lacks a little fullness in her vocals, but she's got a good voice. but country girls winning back to back? not likely.
this week sucked. the theme was music in the 21st century and out of the 10 songs they picked, only 2 or 3 were good. that only points out why i don't listen to the radio anymore: most of the stuff you hear these days is crap.
