Nerdia Reviews American Idol 60s Week

I liked the guys the best. Too many little blonde dollies this year (and that includes Syesha Mercado, who may be African American, but is all barbie to me).

--

My favs for the guys are David Hernandez, Robbie Carreo, David Achuleta, Danny Noriega (LOVE HIM...he's my Sanjanya this year - except he can sing), and Jason Castro. But Garrett Haley is Leif Garrett reincarnated and the girls will go NUTS. Can't believe they only found one black male vocalist worthy this year from all the corners of America. Lame, judges, lame. And Chikeze SOO wasn't worthy. Jason Yeager and Luke Menard sucked so ultimately it was mind-boggling.

Of the gals, I love Remele Malubay the best. Like an Asian-punk Mary Poppins, she's "perfect in every way." Alaina Whitaker and Alexandrea Washington were promising too. Carly Smithson has a great voice but it feels like her time has passed (not teen idolly enough anymore). Was bored by the rest.

--

Two Idol seasons after the show Rock Star, I really feel the biggest detriment to most of these idol singers is the crappy, loud, obnoxious, soul-less American Idol band. The singers literally have to shout over it to be heard and then they get criticized for doing so. I feel the crap-band especially runied a potentially good showing by Amanda Overmyer this week.

--

Other annoyances so far: really existentially boring Ryan Seacrest challenges to Simon. It's like Hillary Clinton and John McCain snipping at Barak Obama. The American peoples yearn for an end to the manipulative cat-fights. We're so over it. And Ryan is so good in the auditions. Even the losers love him. But on the show, he's kind of a pr*ck.

And these name for the girls are going to work my last nerve. We must come up with nicknames for them so I can type them out each week without having to resort to the Insert Symbol feature in MS Word.
