AI Predictions: …and then there were two

This is it.  We’re down to the last three men standing.  After tonight, we’re on to the finals: the final performances, the final show, the grand finale and announcement of the winner. Tonight, it was all about choices.  The choices the judges made for the contestants and the choices they made for themselves. But the… Continue reading AI Predictions: …and then there were two

Energize!

I’m a very, very bad girl. I played hooky today to meet up with my boyfriend for a mid-day rendezvous to see this movie.  He even snuck out of work for a “therapy session” to join me. You see, my boyfriend (who, incidentally, I’m happily married to) is a HUGE Trekkie and has been waiting… Continue reading Energize!

AI Predictions: The Final Four

I honestly don’t know what all the hubbub is about the final 4.  It’s not like the Miss America contest where third runner-up still gets a terrific bouquet and an awesome sash and a “scholarship” or anything. You get in the final four on American Idol, and you get the same thing as the final… Continue reading AI Predictions: The Final Four

I Am Second

This is my I Am Second story. I have been a Christian nearly all my life.  I accepted Jesus’ sacrificial death for my sins and God’s offer of forgiveness when I was 5 years old.  I was baptized when I was 9 years old.  I grew up in the church, attended Christian schools all the… Continue reading I Am Second

AI Predictions: From 8 to 7

Music of the cinema…with Quentin Tarantino as celebrity “coach.”  Yeah, I’ve worked it over in my mind and those two comments just don’t seem to mesh in my book.  I guess that’s why I’m not sitting in Kara DioGuardi’s seat. As usual, there were the top performers who will have no trouble making it to… Continue reading AI Predictions: From 8 to 7

American Idol: From 11 to 10

Last night was Simon’s worst nightmare: country music!  I knew we were in for an interesting night with steel guitars, fiddles, and a two-step beat. There were several winners this week, in a number of different categories.  And here they are: Most Twangy Performance: Hands down, Michael Sarver.  I know, I know, he was singing… Continue reading American Idol: From 11 to 10

Unlucky 13

We’ve made it through auditions… We’ve made it through Hollywood week… We’ve made it through the round of 36… And now we’re down to the final 12…er…I mean 13. Thirteen’s not exactly a lucky number, especially for the two contestants who will be voted off tonight.  There were some truly stellar performances: Danny Gokey, Adam… Continue reading Unlucky 13

American Idol: The second 12

Wow…the contestants sure are making this easy.  I almost don’t even need to try!  But I do need to fulfill my blogging goal, so I post anyway. Last night was another night of sub-par performances with a few shining moments thrown in for good measure.  Certainly there were some who did not live up to… Continue reading American Idol: The second 12

American Idol Predictions: The first 12

Our waiting has paid off…America finally gets to vote! So we have a “new” format – which is eerily similar to Season 3, so maybe not all that “new” after all – and that year turned out some great talent, so maybe that’s a prediction of what this year will bring.  All I know is… Continue reading American Idol Predictions: The first 12
