American Idol-Week 7

Shania Twain night. I have to admit I did not even know half of the songs picked. This must have been an extremely hard night for Kara who could not remind the world how she wrote "conveniently" 3/4 of the songs sung on the show. Not tonight loser Kara!
I had some issues tonight with Randy's choice of cardigan. I am a big fan of the cardigan. I've expressed this sentiment, but tonight I swear Randy's sweater looked like something worn by a NYC cab driver. A sweater like that can only be purchased in some shady store off West 34th Street behind Penn Station that does not even have a sign other than yellow Xeroxed pieces of paper in the window advertising Men's Suit 2 for $50. (A NY'er will totally understand this). These are the same stores that are gone within a week only to be replaced by a store that sells luggage, cameras and Statute of Liberty snow globes. Second, I am now starting to get slightly perturbed with that beaded necklace he wears. It looks like a lanyard you would see holding glasses around a geriatric patient's neck at a nursing home. It could have been a gift from his kid which could be the only logical explanation for wearing such a God awful necklace. Speaking of God awful ostentatious necklaces, Kara obviously raided Evander Holyfield's closet and stole his championship belt and decided to don it around her neck. I also noticed tonight was the first time I believe I saw a wedding ring on her finger. I guess she feels wearing 14 carats of bling around her left ring finger will show the world that she really isn't a dog in heat around Simon.

Lee- started the show tonight and did a fabulous job with "Still the One." I believe he is still the one to beat in the competition. He has a great voice and I truly don't have anything else to say because, well you guys all know he is my favorite and I'm not changing my mind.

Big Mike- Getting a little tired of Big Mike. He's not Aaron Neville. He's not Luther Vandross. Now I will admit, I am not the biggest R&B fan. I kind of find that music a little boring, but I appreciate it and I am sorry but I don't equate him with the likes of Luther and Aaron. (And on a side note, Katie does a bitchin' impression of Aaron Neville. I really need to YouTube it because it is hysterical. She'll be visiting soon and I am going to make her do it)! I also hate when the singers sit on the stairs. As I think I said last season, when I see those stairs, I see Frankie Avalon in Grease singing "Beauty School Drop Out." This song also had Shania crying-I'm hoping like me she was crying out of sheer boredom.

Casey-Oh Casey James. How I envy your hair. Casey has the hair I so desperately want. He has the color I pay top dollar for...every seven weeks. He has the curl to his hair that I long for on humid summer days when I don't want to blow dry; but alas, if left to an air dry, my hair resembles a matted golden retriever. I think that Casey would make a very successful country star-these days you need to be hot and sing decent-he fits the bill.

Crystal-When Ryan was first talking to Shania at the beginning of the show, I commented to my mother how her teeth have definitely been redone. Most celebs and Hollywood peeps have had caps put on their teeth. Because let's be honest, no one has perfectly white, perfectly even sized teeth. I found it ironic that Ryan mentioned Shania's gorgeous teeth when Crystal may not have a full set. Crystal did not bring her A game tonight, despite lugging her "magic" carpet and wearing a peacock from her ear lobe. It's also time to mention that Kara this season has repeatedly said to a contestant, "I agree with the guys." Not, "these guys" which could encompass acceptably the male and female, that is Randy and Ellen. No, she classifies Ellen as a guy. One day I would like Portia DeRossi to knock Kara out. Tonight would have been a good night for that because after she knocked out Kara, she could have stolen the necklace and hoisted it above her head.

Aaron-Here is what is annoying me about Aaron-he's not annoying me. Normally every young teeny bopper singer drives me batty, David Archa-loser, the Kevin guy that they called Chicken Little, Little Bow Wow, Hansen, Kris Kross, ABC, pretty much every singer where if they hit puberty it's questionable. But Aaron doesn't bother me. I like him. And I think it is the maturity. And when he said he sang it for his mother (while stupid Kara was insulting his lack of love life), I almost teared up too. Rock on Aaron...rock the hell on.

Siobhan-I think she has run her course with me. My mother is right, she has not achieved star power to be walking around the audience. And furthermore my mother and I are trying to figure out if her tattoo is of Mary Poppins and if so, why? I think her wanting to be the female Adam Lambert has gone too far and now she is just plain annoying.
On that "note" my pick to go home is Siobhan.
