American Idol Season 10 Top 13 My Opinion





Lauren Alaina -Lauren's cover of her idol Shania Twain's "Any Man Of Mine" wasn't all that great. I actually felt compelled to change the channel. It felt like karaoke at my normal spot on Tuesdays. Like a friend of mine who ended up in a karaoke competition and decided to try out for Idol. I wouldn't doubt that she will end up being the next one off if she continues to sing that same ol' song.
Casey Abrams - When Casey did Joe Cocker's "With A Little Help From My Friends" The Wonder Years Theme, I was in awe. From the beginning Casey has been a favorite and I enjoy his raspy voice at times with his cocky attitude. It suits him well and his bass playing is a great addition to something new that American Idol has subjected to new wannabe famous singers in the future.Hope he gets better as Ryan Seacrest opened up the results show stating that Casey was in the hospital.
Ashthon Jones - Her ego was a big as her hair. I just could not stand this chick and I am glad that the unanimous vote to not to keep her on the show happened on the result show tonight. Her Diana Ross look didn't match her singing anymore after she kept singing songs no one knew. I wish her luck in the future.
Paul McDonald -Great voice, bad dancing. I'm not a hater but I just can not stand the fact he has no dancing qualifications. Dancing like a chicken? Really? I understand you want to me a professional singer and want to be the NEXT American Idol but you didn't need to go broke by buying a $4,500 suit. Really? Try singing a song we know and we can clearly hear and comprehend. The wispy voice is cute but not all the time please.


Pia Toscano - So Pia Pia Pia.....What can we say about you. You chose a really hard song to sing, "All By Myself" by Celine Dion. You chose to sing it at the wrong time hun. You should have saved it for later. I understand singing it to make the Top 13 would be great but what happens when you don't have a great song for the top 3? This chick is great and has a good attitude but she needs to stop struggling at the top sometimes. Other than that, Pia's voice is guaranteed to make anyone have chills.


James Durbin -Our Hometown Hero. Yes I am rooting for our Hometown boy from Santa Cruz but remember, this guy has gone through turrets and issues with teasing throughout his entire life. He started out with Judist Priest and instead of Ozzy or some other Rock God being his Idol, he chose Paul McCartney. His softer side showed without the extreme shouting being overpowering. This will be the first Major Rocker in the top 10. Keep it up James, we are all behind you!


Haley Reinhart - After doing her version of "Blue" by LeAnne Rimes I felt so blah. Not for the fact that I don't really like that song or the yodeling but the fact that I don't think that the song really suits Haley. She could have chosen something completely different and wouldn't have been in the bottom three. I don't think she will be continuing very much longer but her sexy appeal and Taylor Swift looks will get her one more week.


Jacob Lusk - Ok, as a singer, I don't over exaggerate as much as this guy does. His version of "House is not a Home" was great and his voice is more mature than most people but come on! His version of R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly" was way over the top. He lost his tone when he switched keys and it was just gone after that. He was probably in the bottom 5 after that but if he keeps going like this, he won't be on the show much longer. 


Thia Megia -  As the youngest American Idol contestant in the past 10 seasons, Thia is a great singer but one issue. She has no personality. Yes it is hard to sing A Capella before the first note of a song is played but she needs to work on walking around, having fun, working the crowd and singing a song that won't make you fall asleep. She may be another Bay Area Native but she still has more work to accomplish other than being on the stage and showing the world she can sing. I give her the 8th spot. She will be gone by then.
Stefano Langone - Singing a classic, "Lately" by Stevie Wonder was a big task but his version just killed it for me. I can't believe he remixed this and the fact that J. Lo liked it and Randy said it worked out. I didn't think he would do anything good at all since he murdered my favorite song "Just The Way You Are" by Bruno Mars. That top note was something else, ear piercing and I felt like I wanted to do something. I probably could have sat through it if I were drunk off of a full case of beer, 5 shots of Patron Silver and a bottle of Makers Mark. He won't last much longer. I give him 11th Place.
Karen Rodriguez - LATINO'S IN DA HOUSE! Ok but to American Idol, a few songs in Spanglish is cool but trying to kiss J. Lo's ass by doing her idol, Selena? If J. Lo wasn't Selena in 1997 would Karen have done the song "I Could Fall In Love"? She was dressed in a Glittered covered Selena wanna be dress suit but her achievement of getting to that high note wasn't great. The pitchless tone and uncomfortable way she was walking around didn't seem like she really wanted to be on the show. Like she really couldn't handle it. No wonder she was part of the Bottom 3. Learn to sing something else than Latino Music. We understand your heritage and you want to represent but come on, really? I give you 9th!
Scotty McCreery - Scotty 2 Hottie!!! You are just so cute! I first heard your voice and felt compelled to listen to Josh Turner all over again! For being 17, his voice is just amazing. We love to help my boyfriend's hometown hero from NC but remember, later on there will be some tough roads ahead with R&B, Big Band and more. He seemed a little pitchy during the Michael Jackson covers. I hope you succeed and remember, you will always be viewed as a younger Josh Turner. We love you! I give him Top 5.
Naima Adedapo -Her dress designs, amazing Sade look and Erykah Badu sound made her one of the top in our book but when she did a reggae version of Rihanna's "Umbrella", we just couldn't believe it. She was all over the place, windy after dancing and singing, and it didn't seem like it was the Naima we first fell in love with. We were hoping she would be picked as one of the Judges saves and when she was the last one we were happy. Now I have no idea how to feel. Maybe she will change her ways and go back to the Erykah Badu/Lauren Hill/ Sade singer we know and love. Her dancing was great and the remix was cool but it wasn't her.

Really? Complaints, Video Games, and Youtube

This is a special edition of REALLY?!?!

Charlie Sheen, Charlie Sheen, Charlie Sheen, Charlie Sheen, Charlie Sheen, Charlie Sheen, Charlie Sheen, Charlie Sheen,Charlie Sheen enough of Charlie Sheen!!! The guy's life is done and over with ! I mean Seriously!!! I am so sick of hearing about Charlie Sheen and his Career and Logan Couture telling people that he is "WINNING".... I don't care!!! Let this guy finish his career bombing himself! Leave me out of it!

Now there are too many phone numbers in the area so now they are changing new numbers to 669 area code. This is really going to be annoying. So if I call my mom in Campbell will I have to press 1??? I mean I feel like this is that one episode in Seinfield where Kramer gave Elaine's number and she kept getting faxes. When she changed her number she had to get a new area code. Could this be any worse? Probably...

I was told about http://www.youparklikeanasshole.com and I have been hooked..I keep looking for people who park like idiots. It has been so fun but I wish I had a camera with a flash last week. This guy pushed his gas instead of the breaks and ended up burying his front tires in a medium at The Plant parking lot. It took TWO tow trucks to get him out.

This weekend was vacation weekend for me and hunny so we took off to Hollister. I know I know, Hollister is in the middle of nowhere. Nothing to do and no where to party at... ummm I would have to disagree with you on that. We have a friend who bought a house and has lots of food, beer, alcohol, and a pool with jacuzzi. Talk about partying all weekend. Shots of gin, 48 cans of beer, mudslides, lemon chello, and more...

videos are coming soon.

SO check this out. There are some amazing people on Youtube that you would love to watch...Obviously I want you to add me as a friend and subscribe to me too!!! Helentkgarcia
There is a comedian if you didn't know him already, Ray William Johnson. He even has a shirt at Hot Topic. The show? =3 most people don't get the joke but =3 looks like a PEN15...hahah I had to do an old joke. When was the last time you used it?  He does some of the best commentary on viral videos to date!
So add him and enjoy! New episodes every Monday and Thursday!!!
http://www.youtube.com/user/raywilliamjohnson?blend=1&ob=4

http://www.youtube.com/user/agreggofsociety is PS22 Chorus. They are an amazing group of kids in New York I believe. Check them out for yourself and see what you think.

So with the economy going down hill, food, gas, and more is driving people insane. Gas is almost $4, Having Internet, phone, and cable is almost $150 a month, cell phone $50, food is somewhere around $200 a month and all of these bills keep rising. So where do you go for food? Grocery Outlet, Walmart, Safeway, Target,  Mom and Pop Stores? At one place you can get a Banquet Meal for $0.89 when Safeway has it for $1. When places have different prices, what are you going to do? You can't shop at 6 different grocery stores just to get what you need. I wish they made it really cheap at one single store instead of having to deal with different stores.

So in Santa Clara County there is no law in having red light cameras in the city. It sucks because there is always an accident around 2am. So we have been trying to find out exactly what is going on and what they can do about it. Just wish people won't speed, drive drunk and so forth. Please learn to have a Designated Driver at all times. Not only is it safe but it helps to know this..If you get caught with a DUI you will spend $10,000 if you get caught or even cause a death of someone's loved one. Make the right decision and please ask a friend to drive.

Just got Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Little Big Planet 2!!! Little Big Planet is so amazing and I love the fact they keep everything that you did in the first one. Marvel vs. Capcom is so much fun but the fights are harder every time and some people complain that there is no story line. To me, I don't care I am so happy and thanks to Fabio and Amanda for the greatest weekend so far this Year!!!

So thanks and hope you enjoy reading this post. Be sure to read Tony's blog later this week.

Randomness

So this is going to be my first blog in a few years.

First of all, thanks to Tony for letting me know about blogspot. Here is his blog. http://tonyscomplaints.blogspot.com/

On a serious note. My really good friend Antoinette's cousin was the guy who was injured in the recent hit and run. She sent me this message. I am asking all of you to keep Mr. Garcia, family and friends in your prayers. Thank you and God Bless! Here is the email and the link to the story:  
http://www.ktvu.com/video/2703...3590/index.html


Some people are just jerks and some are as*holes. Do you know the difference? Jerks are people who can be mean but still maintain a friendship with you after apologizing, on the other hand as*holes are people who you don't know or people who decided to stab you in the back and do something so awful that you no longer can be around them.

Some of the names in the following blog have been changed to protect people I don't like.

"Marisellentaia"- Really? You accuse me of turning my neighbor's electricity off and now you want to be a complete bitch. You still have yet to apologize. The building was wired in 1964. If the apartment next door blows the breaker, my side goes out as well. Don't say "Oh you turned them off? They can sue you now. I'm calling the Landlord." I mean really? You have been in the business for what, 2 years and my boyfriend has done this for 11, you must be off your rocker..Than you change your hours to 9am-2pm. My toilet clogged at 1:55pm and I asked my boyfriend to ask her and what does she do? "Oh you need to tell me during these hours. I don't have a plunger because I gave it to someone and I don't remember who it is and I never got it back." Door slams in his face. I mean really. Do you have to be such a bitch?

"Surisndsan"- So you became friends with us saying you were pregnant. We took you in and helped you when you were down. You don't tell us you are in the hospital until I find out the day of the Sharks game. Really? You message us that you are in the hospital a week later. Really??? You tell friends to visit you but some people don't have the funds or time to travel to Fremont. You tell people that you have had gull stones for 6 years...ummm NO! There is no way you can have gull stones for 6 years, even 2 days is painful enough. Lying to the nurse while a friend is there visiting you saying someone sneaked into your room, went into your bathroom and smoked a cigarette, than left, WOW! OK someone is a pathological liar. There are so many times that lies can be said and someone can believe it. Stop crying wolf. Stop trying to add us, talk to us, or message us. Lose our numbers, names, and friendships because it no longer exhists!

Evan - You are one of our best friends. We love you to death. Watching you drink yesterday on your birthday was the best night ever since it wasn't our night but we have a feeling that you will pay me back...
We hope your birthday was the best ever. You still are a youngster though.

So Jay's Birthday was on the 22nd and I was finally able to get the video up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jL5wYmVHHKA

So I have Twitter (TK408) http://twitter.com/#!/tk408 and Facebook. I decided that it would be a grand idea to subscribe to Logan Couture (Logancouture) and Devin Setoguchi (seto1661) through mobile text. BAD IDEA! Luckily that twitter has a time schedule you can arrange. These guys are serioulsy like brothers. They compliment each other after games, compete in who is getting more followers, and ect. If you add Seto before March 15th, you will be entered to win 2 tickets, 4 total (1 set for a female and 1 set for male), and possibly win a signed stick, plus he is going to donate $5,000 to cancer research. So add Seto1661 now! 

So now onto the world issues.

Can we please just get the troops out? It's been 10 years. We are tired of loosing people we don't need to have over there.

Egypt-I am so exhausted about hearing the issues over there. We shouldn't be getting involved but than again, who are we to say what is suppose to go on in other countries? We don't want WWIII and having Obama in office has been better than GWB. Don't even get me started on him. I understand that we have to be BIG BROTHER but come on! Give them our opinion and get out. There are other issues that we have to handle here in the US. Homeless, unemployment, debt, sick, drunk driving, death, obesity, guns, gangs, serial killer, cannibals, rape, you really want me to go on? I'm exhausted in hearing about other countries. This is why I hate watching the NEWS!

So this is gonna be the end of my first blog. Next week, Youtube people you should subscribe to, including me! Twitter friends, and more! Don't forget Mardi Gras is going to be on March 8th. Be safe and please have a designate driver with you!

Thanks for reading.
