American Idol

[Daisy and Delilah]

I watched American Idol last night for the first time in my life. I guess I thought they would be better. Haven't seen the guys yet, but from what I hear, they are pretty bad. I hope everyone gets better from week to week.

I watched because Lilly Scott is the daughter of my co-worker Greg. He said she was a wild child and would disappear for days until they could track her down. He said he's praying she makes the top 10 'cuz she needs a job.

So, I guess I'll be voting for Lilly (or Feathers as some of us call her because of her earrings).

I like Lilly alot. She will most likely have a great job after the show, no matter what the outcome is.

I watch the show after it's over so I can forward through commercials and things I don't want to see. Ironically, I flipped through the performances of all four of the people that went home last night. So I felt America got it right.

Out of the girls, my favorites so far are: Lilly Scott, Crystal Bowersox and Siobahn Magnus.

Out of the guys: Casey James, Andrew Garcia and Lee Dewyze.

Overall they are not doing so well this season. They were so good during auditions, but are failing now. With the exception of most of the names I just listed above.

I was sad to see Lilly Scott go, as she's got such a unique voice. Hopefully something good will come of her time on American Idol. I was really surprised she left before Katie Stephens, who seems like a really nice girl but is having trouble figuring things out, and Paige Miles, who did such a bad job on "Smile" this week, and seems to have just given up.

In some ways, I am not surprised Lily went home. A very important week and she did not pick a song to highlight herself. I don't think she should have went home before some of the others, but she definitely did not have a stand-out performance to make people want to pick up the phone and vote for her....at least not in my opinion.

I didn't watch the guys' performance this past week so I can't say much about them.

After watching the women on week 3 of the countdown to the final 12, I thought Katie, Katelynn and Paige were in danger of going home. Katelynn did a horrible impression of Carole King. I don't even think she was really playing the keyboard, at least it didn't look like it to me. And Paige has not impressed me since day one. I never thought Lilly would go home before Paige, that is for sure! If it had been my choice, I would've sent Katelynn nad Paige home.

Also, I had to mention this - for the first few songs on the guys' performance night, it was all things that are on my iPod! It was weird! And I just hafta say, I like the original version of Fireflies better than Lee Dewyze's version, it's such a whimsical song that it doesn't really fit a "rock" edge!

Sorry to see Lilly go but she didn't do her best. She has a really unique voice so I hope she gets hired and has a great career.

Yeah, Lilly just didn't have the voice I don't think, that some of the others did, and if she did she picked the wrong song. I was very happy to see Katie stay, I think she has a great voice
