AI: The Top 12

I'm sorry I've been absent. Life has been busy. I've gotten your angry text messages and phone calls, and trust that I've been following and am angry myself.

With that said, let the anger continue.

Brandon: First of all, I hated the way he sang this. I know I can sing this song better, I've heard myself in the shower do it and if I don't say so myself, I'm awesome. Ugh. And did he forget the words at the end? Good god. Go back to behind Xtina. You suck.

Melinda: Though I don't think she has star quality, at least we know we can count on Melinda right now to a.) deliver her song, b.) remember her words and c.) bring her A-game. And now that I've watched her tonight I actually really liked her. I like her cause she wants to win and she gets out there every week and sings. Plus, I own those shoes in red and I know how hard it is to stand in them. Props to her. Melinda kicked ass.

Chris: Hmm he lost the glasses, I'm kind of digging it. But I hope he has contacts in or he might trip and fall. I know I would if I didn't have mine in. With that said, Melinda is a tough act to follow. And he's singing Endless Love, which is maybe the cheesiest song ever. But he's "making it his own" and for that I can give him props. Ummmm, this was alright. It wasn't the worst ever, just not the best ever.

Gina:Hmm she's about halfway through and I'm kind of bored. WHERE ARE THE STARS AMERICAN IDOL? ARE THEY SITTING AT HOME ON THEIR COUCHES BECAUSE YOU SENT THEM HOME AND THEN AMERICA F*ED UP COMPLETELY? Jeez, I don't know. This wasn't bad, just not great.

Sanjaya: OH. JESUS. CHRIST. Did he hot curl his hair? Curling iron? WTF? And this song? From SISTER ACT II, one of my favorite movies ever???? I can't believe we have to watch him and not AJ. I'd even rather watch corny-ass Jared. The backup singers must be dying inside to know this kid gets center stage. He should sacrifice his spot. He didn't even sing. Dear God. Dear God. Dear God. No. No. No. Someone put this poor kid out of his misery.

Haley: Yawn. Yawnnity-yawn-yawn. She forgot the words too. This is the only reason I don't fast forward, lest I miss that kind of stuff. Cause my finger was on the button. This is almost as bad as Sanjaya.

Phil: I really want Phil to do good because I like him and I think he can sing. He looks a little awkward up there ...but at least he sounds alright. The good thing about Phil is that he can turn an okay song good because he can hit the big notes which I guess, in this competition means you are like, the best. I don't know, it's about so much more than singing though. It's like the X factor. Poor Phil doesn't have it. But he can sing good. That's good enough for me right now.

Lakisha: Thank God for Lakisha. That's all I need to say about her.

Blake: This could be interesting. Vamos a ver. This sounds like it could be super awesome from his segment with Diana. Come on Blake. Please. Well his outfit kicks ass, that's good. And at least he is unique and trying. Unlike, ahem, well everyone but like two people. I think he could have done it slightly faster and sang it more and it would have been a bit better. For this one, I'll actually listen to the judges and not fast forward to the next person. *after judges* I could totally be a correspondant on this show.

Stephanie:I like Stephanie too, because she's in it to win it. I like her little attitude. I don't think she's a star either, but at least the girl comes out and sings. I missed her missing the words...oh well. The show is almost over and I can be put out of my misery.

Chris:He is so damn cute, thank goodness. His voice isn't the best but at least he's fun to watch. If he went on tour with JT one day, my head my explode. Anyways, I think Simon will rip this apart because his vocals are thin...and he hides it with the runs...but at least he is entertaining. And he's trying. Hooray Chris.

Jordin:Another one who we can hopefully count on to sing the s*** out the song. She reminds me of Callie from Grey's Anatomy. Anyone? Anyone? I feel like Jordin would be great on Broadway. I'm not sure she's a pop star. And Sara Ramirez (Callie on Grey's Anatomy) won a Tony on Broadway for Spamalot. Coincidence anyone? Coincidence?? Anywho, this was fine. A solid good.

My only thought at the conclusion of this show is that it's just too bad multiple people can't be sent home and we could start the season over or bring back those unfairly ousted. I'm sad. But if Sanjaya doesn't go home tomorrow I will throw my TV out of the window.
