JandC Guide to American Idol
For those of you who haven’t been following American Idol, Carolyn and I decided to make a little primer. These are only our opinions, but one of us is right on the money (me, Jim).
| Carolyn | Contestant | Jim |
|---|---|---|
| Anthony totally annoys me AND he’s not the best singer either. My fear is that he will make it to the top five. | Anthony Federov | This kid is totally out of his league. Five years from now he’ll be programming at some small IT company. |
| Anwar is cute…puppy dog cute. He can sing, though I’m not a particular fan of his voice. | Anwar Robinson | My coffee table has more personality. He sings in tune and he looks like a soap opera star, but who cares. Gone in two, maybe 3 weeks max. |
| I like Bo. Bo is a pro star on stage. I probably wouldn’t buy his album, but I’m sure many people would. His name is weird. | Bo Bice | Great voice and he handles the stage like a veteran. I hope he goes far. |
| She will definitely be a country star whether she wins or not. She will be in the top two or three. She needs to watch the hairdos. | Carrie Underwood | Simon is right. This girl is definitely going to be huge. Blonde, all-American, Country…and she can sing! She will definitely win. |
| Constantine creeps me out. His performances have been improving, but I don’t want him to win. | Constantine Maroulis | Freaky looking, girly man. He has done a lot better over the past couple of weeks, but he’s faking it–he’s not a good singer. |
| Nadia is, by far, not the best singer, although she has star potential. She should stick with upbeat Tina Turner-type songs. | Nadia Turner | Looks deperate. For some reason, Nadia seems like she’s older than the rest and this is her last shot. She really can’t sing, but she’s a good performer. She’d do well in the TNL community musical. |
| Scott can sing, but he needs to get some more energy. He hasn’t been the best lately. | Scott Savol | I don’t know what’s going on with this guy. Early on it seemed that he had a golden voice, but now he’s singing like he looks: ugly. I’m pulling for you Scotty boy. Like Leonard Cohen said, "We are ugly, but we have the music." |
| I love Vonzell. She should definitely be in the top three. More upbeat, fun songs and fewer boring songs please. | Vonzell Solomon | Vonzell seems too nice to win. She can sing. She can really sing. She’ll probably go soon because she’s too boring. |
