You know the end of something great is coming, but here you are wanting to hold on… Why, just so it can hurt a little more?

Ever the masochistic type huh, Angie.

Well then, lets bring on the cliches:
Every end is a new beginning, but It’s never over till it’s over.

So nothing else to do but wait for your anticipated and much debated LIVEBLOG aka your OPINION aka “literary masterpiece” OR “online fangirl drivel” (ofcourse dependin on ma mood lol)

Btw, I hope Lee Dewyze wins!

:)

The idea of pitting one idol against the other, to the point of casting aspersions on the opposition, no matter how widely held and participated is no evidence whatsoever that it is not utterly absurd; indeed, in view of the silliness of the crazed fanatics, their opinions are more likely to be foolish than sensible.

This irrational devotion however does not apply today with our esteemed live blogger, Queen Angie. She is hospitable, and entertains conflicting sentiments and contradictory opinions with much impartiality. I’m impressed.

The important matter is that we have had a good season and we are surely in for a treat with the coming finale. Jessica, the “pure singer” with her jaw-dropping vocal calisthenics versus Phillip Phillips, the “eccentric stylist” with his sexy vibe and charming groans will prove to be one helluva competition.

Looking forward to your live blogging Queen Angie. :D

LOL

It’s not Melanie or Lee’s fault, necessarily, that they have struggled to chart. It’s much more the production behind them that determines that.

Lastly, playing the guitar or not doesn’t determine whether or not someone is the total package. Frequently, its a crutch for avoiding having to show you are. I’m a musician. I play four instruments. I could pick up the guitar between audtioning for idol and being in the finale. Could I ever sing or perform good enough? Not a chance in hell. The singing and performance aspects are way harder than playing a guitar. Don’t give too much credit for that. As for ‘writing your own songs’ – the difference between 16 and 21 perhaps. 19-20 is about when I was able to start writing anything that was really music.

Not knocking Phil, its just that is a bad reason to try and objectify a subjective judgement. Like Angie said, it’s like claiming Jess being technically better makes her better. It doesn’t necessarily. Trying to objectively state one is better than the other is a waste of time, and unfair to both finalists.

I hope both do really well. I hope Phil “plays the game” a little more. He’s got to “look” like a superstar a little bit. Do some songs that gain Top 40 airplay. I hope Jessica gains some wisdom. Her choices have been poor.

My concern, as an overcaring Idol fan, is for our champion to take mainstream music by storm. I know that award shows are irrelevant but it would have been nice to see our champs dominating the Billboard Awards last night. There was some award (best new artist?) where our guy Scotty was nominated. The crowd was noticeably quieter when his name was listed as a nominee. That kinda hurt.

I also noticed the featured acts last night. These are supposedly the biggest names in mainstream music. They sounded a bit more like Jessica than Phil. I also thought of our most prominent champions: Kelly and Carrie. Just nice singers and completely moldable. Not what you’d call “real artists.” To me, the potential is there with Jessica.

As to who I think will win: It’s Phil’s crown to lose.

I only with Jessica had a few more years experience for guaranteed success. I think she will be molded into 1) an absolute superstar we haven’t seen since Carrie, or 2) crack under the pressure at her young age. She is the triple threat and the sky is the limit for her. I feel ten years from now she could be among the top 5 most popular from AI.

On a side note, Slim needs to get himself an Ipad. The ads are making it impossible to view this site, especially comment, with an Ipad. If an ad pops up and tells me “I’ve won” I typically don’t return to that site. The facebook window is annoying enough.
