Yep! It's that time of year again to get down with your bad self and do your American duty by punching those digits to vote for your favorite young talent in America.
This year's line up of contestants (with the exception of Megan Joy Corkery)is exceptionally diverse and talented. I love the sweet, smooth, clear sound of the piano playing man, Scott McIntyre. And I really enjoy this season's rocker, David Lambert, as well as the bluesy, R&B, soulful voice of Danny Gokey.
My two 'front runner favorites' are Danny and David. Apparently I like names that start with the same letter. Danny turns in solid performance every week. Last week David cast off his rocker image to make a real moment with an old Smokey Robinson song. Wow! The live version is not available--but you can hear the live version and see photos of the gothic rocker hunk here:
But this performance last night by Kris Allen just blew me out of the water. He is also quite talented and an excellent singer. Here's his take on an old song; 'Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone':
This season's line up is so darn GOOD it's hard to pick a clear winner at this point. The one thing that is a given is that the new judge, Kara DioGuardi, is pretty and annoying--which makes her pretty ANNOYING. What the heck do they need her for?
She's like Mohinder Suresh, the fictional character of Heros, who always has to use the phrase 'My Father's Research' in each episode. (or at least he used to, before he got his own superpowers and went wacko) You can always count on her to either say she wants to see MORE from the contestant--(well, duh! They only get 2 minutes to perform)--or she wants to see them be themselves.
"I want to see YOU!" you can hear her high pitched whine. Kara, Dudette! Just change your contacts or get a pair of really good glasses. Me? I'm going to start watching her judge with a bag over my head and the volume turned down.
