American Idol 2008 Top 10 Result

::: American Idol 2008 Top 10. Up Row, left to right: Kristy Lee Cook, Jason Castro, Ramiele Malubay, Michael Johns, and Syesha Mercado. Bottom Row, left to right: David Cook, David Archuleta, Carly Smithson, Brooke White, and Chikezie

Yesterday I watched the Result Show of American Idol top 10. The final bottom three: Chikezie, Syesha Mercado, and Jason Castro. Wah, I think this bottom three is correct, eventho I still think Syesha could be replaced by Ramiele. First, Ryan saved Jason (well, many people must like it but I don't, haha... . I NEVER like Jason Castro, I dunno why). Then, Ryan said Syesha was safe, so Chikezie is going home this week. Well, I think it's a good result, hahaha....

IDOLS 08 : David Archuleta. Score: 7

IDOLS 09 : Kristy Lee Cook. Score: 7.5. Her best performance so far. Her song choice was so smart, hahaha....

IDOLS 10 : David Cook. Score: 9. It's great, he changed Michael Jackson's song and i was amazing!! Wow!!

My top three: David Cook, Michael Johns, Carly Smithson

My bottom three: Ramiele Malubay, Jason Castro, Chikezie Eze

hmmm, I think Chikezie will be eliminated, hmmm....

Friday and Saturday

Last Thursday my parents' friends from Semarang came. Thursday evening (after watching The Result Show of American Idol for sure), we went to their hotel. They stayed at Melia Purosani. Then, at 9 PM we went to Royal Restaurant near the northern city plaza (Alun-Alun Utara). We first went to Ibu Ruswo Street, not knowing that there was a huge traffic jam near the plaza. Dang It. We gotta turn around and went thru the Main Post Office at Senopati Street. Arrrggghhh... . Then, after having dinner, we went back to the hotel at 10.30 PM. At 11.45 PM we went back home after chit-chatting

Friday afternoon, I went to the barbershop at Ambarrukmo Plaza to get my hair cut, haha... . Actually the original plan was gonnabe on Monday but somehow I changed it, hmmm... . Anyway, Jogja is so crowded these days!! Wah!! So many cars from another cities. There was a really long line to enter Ambarrukmo. Then, after having my hair cut, I had lunch at Mr Baso Ambarrukmo Plaza, hehe (sorry, no pic. I totally forgot, hehe). Later that evening my mom and I went to Galeria and took some pics of Kassaya Galeria and some products.

Today evening, my parents and I had dinner at Lie Djiong Restaurant (I bet from the name, you know what restaurant it is, hahaha... :D). We ordered Butter Sauce Pigeon, Flour-Fried Frogs, Kamar Bola (vegetables), and Ko Lo Kee. Then, we went to Malioboro Mall, just as usual

Anyway, Happy Easter Guys... :)

American Idol Season 7 Top 11

Yesterday I watched the top 11 show of American Idol. The theme was again, The Beatles. I think this is weird and corny since now we had 2 consecutive weeks with the same theme!! Wah... . I prefer different theme tho, hmmm... . Anyway, finally, David Archuleta was back!! Hehe... . My top two: David Archuleta and Syesha Mercado. Many other were just okay. My bottom three: Amanda Overmyer, Kristy Lee Cook, and Chikezie.

::: Bottom Three this week: Kristy Lee Cook, Carly Smithson, and Amanda Overmyer

Now I just watched the Result Show and guess what?? The bottom three were: Carly Smithson (WHAT??? Yea, she was okay this week, but not that bad to be in the bottom three, hmmm...), Kristy Lee Cook (no surprise... T.T), and Amanda Overmyer. First, Ryan saved Carly (good choice). Then, he said: "Kristy, you are safe for another week!". Yeaah, my Kristy is now on the top 10, wkwkwkw... . That means, Amanda got voted off this week. Hmmm, I personally never really like Amanda Overmyer and her elimination is not a big deal for me...

Top 12 Result : Shocking

Yesterday I watched the Result Show of American Idol. The result was shocking!! The bottom three:

- Syesha Mercado
- David Hernandez
- Kristy Lee Cook

Well, eventho I like Kristy Lee Cook so much, but from this composition, Kristy should go. Guess what? Ryan first saved Syesha. Ok, good choice. Syesha is a good singer. Then, he said: "Kristy, you are safe". Waaah!! What?? David Hernandez is the first to go from the Top 12?? Waaaa, that's a mistake. David Hernandez is a great singer!! Wah... . I hope it's not the rumor which somehow contributed to his elimination. Yea, he was not great this week, but overall he's good enough to survive elimination. Wah... . Hmmmm.... . Anyway, let's move on. I don't think Kristy's that dumb to murder another song of The Beatles next week (apparently next week's theme is still the same). I heard there was one song of The Beatles which was transformed to a country style by someone and it became a hit. Kristy should pick that song next week.

::: Bottom Three this week, Syesha Mercado, David Hernandez, and Kristy Lee Cook

::: "Kristy, you are safe"

A theory behind David H's elimination:
- the boys dominate this season, so the votes for them were split, and this time David H became the 'victim'. This theory explains why Stephanie Edwards was eliminated last season on top 11 while Gina Glocksen and Haley Scarnato who were vocally not as good as Stephanie survived elimination (err, beside Haley was an eye candy on the show rather than Syephanie, hehe... ;) )

AI 08 top 12 week

I just watched the top 12 week of American Idol. My thought: Wah, the new stage is amazing!! It's cool!! After having the same stage for season 4, 5, and 6, this whole new stage for season 7 is super cool!! hehehe... .

IDOLS 01 - Syesha Mercado. Score: 7.25 (she was pretty good)
IDOLS 02 - Chikezie Eze. Score: 8.25 (waa, twas great)
IDOLS 03 - Ramiele Malubay. Score: 6.5 (Umm, I gotta say twas boring. She could have done better)
IDOLS 04 - Jason Castro. Score: 6.5 (I dun like it)
IDOLS 05 - Carly Smithson. Score: 8.5 (GOOD)
IDOLS 06 - David Cooks. Score: 7.75 (I prefer his last week's performance)
IDOLS 07 - Brooke White. Score: 8.5 (Another great performance and song choice)
IDOLS 08 - David Hernandez. Score: 7.5 (twas pretty good actually)
IDOLS 09 - Amanda Overmyer. Score: 7.25
IDOLS 10 - Michael Johns. Score: 6.75 (he needs to step up)
IDOLS 11 - Kristy Lee Cook. Score: 6.5 (Hmmm, twas weird and I think she might be in danger this week, waaa...)
IDOLS 12 - David Archuleta. Score: 6.5 (waa, he forgot some of the words!! Hmmm.... . It was his worst performance... :( )

Hmmm... . This is interesting. My bottom five: Ramiele Malubay, Jason Castro, Michael Johns, Kristy Lee Cook, and David Archuleta. Eventho it was David Archuleta's worst week, I dun think he will end up at the bottom three, he has a great fan base. I think those are in the bubbles are Kristy, Ramiele, and Syesha / Michael. Hmmmm..... . Waaa...

Random Thought

Okay, last yesterday I had my first exam, Numerical Method. Friday evening, when I studied, I found that I studied the 6th chapter (using my notes) so quickly (only about 10 minutes), wakakaka... . I found it a bit weird, 10 minutes? Wah... . Okay, since 10 minutes seemed to be 'too quick', then I read chapter 6 from my book. Saturday morning, on the exam, the first question was what I read on the book!! Wakakaka... . If I hadn't read the book, I wouldn't have found it easy to answer the first question, wuakakaka... . Thanks God!! :D Overall, I think I did really well on the exam, hahaha... . Next Monday I will have my second exam, Mathematical Statistic.

Btw, last week a Lufthansa Airbus A-320 just escaped an accident! While she was landing on Hamburg Airport, it was hit by a strong crosswind due to Storm Emma, causing the left wing tip to touch the runway. The pilots made a go around, and the plane landed safely on second approach on a different runway. You can see the video below. Whatta great pilot!! Hmmm!!! It must have been super scary for all of them

Anyway, today is my dad's 48th birthday! Happy Birthday Pa, hehe... :) (Err, now he is still in Hong Kong though, he's going back to Indonesia on 12th March, hmmmm)

Result Show Top 16 AI 2008

Today I also watched the Result Show of American Idol. This week, my prediction is 100% correct!! Yeah!! Hahaha... . Four eliminated contestants are Kady Malloy, Luke Menard, Asia'h Epperson, and Danny Noriega. Yeah, my Kristy is on the top 12, wkwkwkw... .

Anyway, why did I think Asia'h would leave? Well, it's just my feeling and we always lost a pretty good singer in the top 16 (Ayla Brown, Gideon McKinney (season 5), and Sabrina Sloans (season 6)). Asia'h is pretty good actually, but I dun think she would win. I dun hate nor like her. Hmmm... . Poor her, but it's the truth

Top 8 Gals AI 2008

Okay, I just watched the top 8 gals of American Idol 2008.

The list of my favorite:
1. Carly Smithson (score: 8.25)
2. Brooke White (score: 8.25) >> yea, she found her genre, good for her
3. Syesha Mercado (score: 7.75)
4. Amanda Overmyer (score: 7.75)
5. Ramiele Malubay (score: 7.75)
6. Kristy Lee Cook (score: 7.5)
7. Asia'h Epperson (score: 6.5)
8. Kady Malloy (score: 5.5) >> C'Mon, she's NO Katharine McPhee. Katharine McPhee was great singing that song, but she was just okay.

Who do I think will be eliminated? Hmmm.... . Before I watched the show I would easily say Kady Malloy and Amanda Overmyer. However, Amanda did great on the show so it's kinda difficult. Kady Malloy is leaving for sure, but the other one? Hmmm... . I have a feeling maybe Asia'h Epperson or Syesha Mercado is gonna leave us, hmmm....

AI top 8 boys

I just watched the third week of American Idol (top 8 boys). My favorite from most to least:
1. David Hernandez (score: 8.5) : Wah, twas good (not that great tho). He sang "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" and twas better than Haley Scarnato's version last season
2. David Cook (score : 8.5) : It was cool!!
3. David Archuleta (score : 8.25) : It was good, but not as good as last week
4. Michael Johns (score: 7.5)
5. Jason Castro (score: 7.5) : I still dun like him. Eventho the judges praised him, I still dun find him that great
6. Chikezie Eze (score: 6.75)
7. Luke Menard (score: 6.25)
8. Danny Noriega (score : 6)

I think twas the night of the Davids, hahaha... . Anyway, who would get eliminated? Hmmm, I think it's gonnabe 2 out of my bottom 3, hmmmm.... .

Anyway, this is the third week of American Idol and there is a scandal going on. David Hernandez is reported that he was a stripper (or exotic dancer) in a gay bar. Hmmm... . I myself am not really bothered with that. He is trying to make his life better by pursuing his career on American Idol, and he got the talent. He deserves to be in the top 12. If he gets kicked out because of this issue, then it is super unfair. He is leaving the dark world and actually we could help him out. I think people should 'help' him. We could help him getting better, and we should do it, rite? :)

Result Show Top 20 AI 2008

Yesterday I watched the Result Show of American Idol, and 4 other contestants got eliminated. They are: Jason Yeager, Alexandrea Lushington, Alaina Whitaker, and Robbie Carrico. I had no problems with the two eliminated guys. I just feel sorry for Alexandrea and Alaina. Both of them are pretty good in singing. Yes, as you can read on my previous message, I think Alexandrea was in the bottom two based on the performance, BUT I think she deserves another chance since she is a good singer, hmmm... . Alaina is also a good singer. As Simon said, she could be the dark horse this season. Wah. I think Kady Malloy (who was in the bottom three but safe) should have been eliminated, hmm... . Anyway, well, eventho I like Kristy Lee Cook, I think sooner or later she will get eliminated, sad to say.. :( T.T I hope she makes it to the top 12 tho, hehe
