American Idol 2012

[Karen]

Anybody watching this season? What do you think so far, who are your favorites and who are you puzzled by them making it this far?

Heejun seems like a really nice guy, but I am just not impressed with his voice. I am surprised he's still there/ I did understand "Jer-bear" going home, he just seemed like a sweet guy who was not at all ready for the pressure of this kind of competition. And I was really glad they "saved" Jermaine - I like his voice better than some of the other "screamer" types.

I was just going to check that I spelled names right, and it turns out Jermaine Jones has been Dq'd - http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2012/03...-disqualified/ - oh, well!

So what did folks think of last night?

And why does Heejun wear glasses with no lenses? What's the point?

I watch Idol every week and right now I don't have any favorites. I think Heejun is a comedian and uses his humor a lot. Notice how he bows to everyone, he is really funny....but he is not a great singer and I thought he would be booted off last week. I also don't like Philip Philips, now who would name their child Philip with that last name. I very much liked Jermaine, I really loved his voice but he's gone now, shame. Joshua seems to be the best to me right now but as I said, I have no fav's right now. There are a few I really don't like tho.

I sure hope Jermaine can get his problems resolved and try again next year.. I LOVED his voice.

I thought the same thing about his glasses! LOL

He bows because of his culture. But he is funny. Sure he's not the best singer and I'm sure he'll be gone soon enough.

I like Phillip Phillips. And his dad's name is Phillip Phillips, so that would be why he's named that. LOL
I had a little girl in day care named Brooke Brooks. But at least she has the possiblity of changing her last name eventually.

And Jermaine will not be able to try again next year. I believe the rules are if you make it to a certain point you can't audition again. In fact Jimmy Iovine mentioned that once about someone else (I think Eben).

But, given the plethora of other signing competitions now on TV, maybe Jermaine could get his legal issues straightened out and then be on "The Voice" as it has no age limitation, and Frenchy Davis, famously kicked off of American Idol, not only went on "the Voice" but did pretty well there!

Anybody watching The Voice as well? I like that they are blind auditions, so at first just the singer's voice matters, not his or her looks.

LOL, yes I know that is their culture but he is joking around when doing it on the show.
