American Idol does Texas

Tonight was another very exciting night in American Idol's season seven. There were no ugly acting people tonight, after all the grumblings last night that's a good thing.

The good. There was a beautiful woman of color who said she was a model and sang even better. I liked her hair and was so glad that she made it to Hollywood. There was an 18 year old who did vocal impressions - wow, she really could - and she'll almost have to make it to the final 24. Katie I think was her name. There was a young man with great hair who sang a country song who Simon said no to but Paula and Randy put through. Very cute and I like how he had the judges yelling at him on the way out to fool his family. Very charming. When they were good, they were very very good.

The bad. That part was strange tonight. There was the school counselor with the guyliner who the judges made much ado about how scary he was. He didn't bother me. His voice wasn't the best but I didn't find him so disturbing. There was a girl in mime paint and I thought we'd see her audition but we didn't. Then there was the one who just wouldn't leave. Douglas I think. I'm not sure if he was in our reality. I wish him well anyway.

Then there were the ones that make you go hmmm. There was the lovely, bubbly woman - who made it - who had survived a terrible car accident. I was surprised about her. Not that I think she is bad singer but Paula and Randy seemed very taken aback by Simon's enthusiasm towards her. The young man who was saving himself for the woman he'd marry, I think it was a sweet notion. I would have said yes to him because I thought he was as good as Chris from last year - the one with no hair or personality not the one with great hair who should have held on longer. (Yes, I went there. LOL) The one with the finger nail peels. OY! Did anyone else notice he messed up the lyrics to Hall and Oates song? Did anyone else wonder why he got to go? Then there was the kid who wants to be politician. I liked his smile. I don't know how far he will go in Hollywood but he's very sweet. I'd vote for him as governor if I lived in his state - how's that?

Okay, I'm past it now. LOL

Last but not least, the bird man. They didn't say what the decision was, I'm assuming no, but why not let him come to Hollywood. I felt inspired. "You are my brothers..." It was a wonderful note to end on. =)

Buenos noches,

Lauren
