Gaining momentum...

I don't know how others do it i.e. maintaining their blogs/sites on a daily basis but Medulla, you are right! When the drive is on a down-low, or worst case scenario no longer there, even the very thought of blogging can be a huge drag. Luckily, my motivation is slowly gaining momentum so what better way to start with my weekly American Idol review..

Still a wee bit miffed about last week's out-of-blue elimination of my boy Michael Johns and KLC's continuing luck, this week Mariah Carey is the guest mentor for the remaining seven (Ramiele must be wishing Mariah had come when she was still in the contest..too bad love, you would've still messed it up regardless of who the guest mentor was). As with the other great divas such as Celine and Whitney, it was a sure bet comparisons would be made between the original diva herself and the wannabes who think that just becos they've got a big voice, they'd be on par with Mariah (Syesha anyone?).

It's no secret that this year, the fellas are better than the gurls despite the ratio tilting more towards the gurls..and tonight proved just that. From David A. to the other David, and yes my Jason too, all 3 of them proved worthy of being in the final next month. With the exception of Carly, Brooke struggled to stay in tune..Syesha in her wannabe-diva mode proved to be a wannabe..and don't get me started on KLC!! I think it was Paula who commented something about KLC being 'smart' and I couldn't agree with her more. Spot on Paula. KLC knows her weaknesses yet somehow she knows how to work round that - by playing safe. Therefore unless the voters out there know what's good for them, my money's on Syesha or Brooke to get the cut tomorrow whereas KLC will probably heave another sigh of relief...

...let's hope not.
