Game on


It's crunch time. Or as Randy said "The competition is on, ON!"

Over the coming weeks and as with the previous season, I'm hoping to share my thoughts on this season's American Idol, billed by Ryan as "the most talented 24 ever" (yeah, that's what they keep telling us year in year out)..so feel free to add or share your thoughts/comments (simply click 'Comments' below each entry that we make and follow through the instructions - it's as easy as ABC) with me.

So...

..maybe my expectations were slightly high but I was disappointed. Save for one or two contestants, everyone else seemed boring. Not even my favourite teens, David Archuleta and Danny Noriega (who kinda reminds me of Justin from Ugly Betty) lifted my spirits up..they were simply average And that Colton Berry (the so-called Ellen DeGeneres-lookalike) was just darned boring that I'm wishing Mr Future President had been chosen instead of him *sniff sniff* But, but but the surprise of the day for me came courtesy of Jason 'Mr Dreadlocks' Castro with his rendition of "What A Day For A Daydream". Ok so maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit here 'cos I was mostly distracted by how da*n goodlooking he was, even with those dreadlocks on (can you imagine how extra yummy he'd look without those things on??) Having said that, his performance was different and I was sorry we had to wait til the last fifteen minutes to see him.

AND finally there's Aussie boy himself aka Michael Johns, whom I'm guessing is currently ranked high on everyone's list..yours truly included. His "Light My Fire" rendition didn't exactly, pardon my pun, light my fire as "Bohemian Raphsody" did but man, can the guy sing!?! My only peeve (so far) - he's already married??????

All in all peeps, a wee bit above average and forgettable such that I can't even decide who'll get the cut this Friday.
