American Idol Top 5

Well, I dun think this week is the best week of all. I think it's even a bit awkward. They compressed the show to 1 hour but still, each contestant gotta sang 2 songs. Hmmm, with 1 hour show, that's not gonnabe enough and even, for me, made the show looked like in a big rush, hmmmm....

Anyway, my thought (from most fave to least):
1. David Cook and Syesha Mercado. They were both great this week. Not their best performances, but they were the best this week.
3. David Archuleta. He was okay. I mean, nothing was really special. But it was good
4. Brooke White. The first one was a theme park performance, LOL. But the second one was good
5. Jason Castro. Bad, I dun like it

Hopefully Jason Castro got voted off... .

AI top 6

Well, it was a really tough week. I think: (in order of my most fave)

1. David Cook >> that's so cool!!
2. Syesha Mercado >> her best performance. I love it!!
3. David Archuleta >> not his best
4. Carly Smithson >> good
5. Brooke White >> Err, a mess
6. Jason Castro >> Bad

however, the real bottom two:
5. Syesha Mercado
6. Carly Smithson (VOTED OFF)

Daaammnn!! What happened?? grrr... . They didn't deserve to be in the bottom two, shoot... . Well, now I hate Jason Castro even more, grrr... :(

I feel sorry for Syesha. She has been strong for some weeks and she always finds herself in the bottom two or three, hmmm... :(

American Idol Top 7

Well, the top 7 theme is 'Mariah Carey', and wow, this is such a theme!! At first I thought David Cook and Jason Castro would struggle (not David Archuleta because his voice suits Mariah's songs, hmmm...). Guess what? This is what I think:

IDOLS 01 - David Archuleta (When You Believe). Score: 8.5. It's good, but not his greatest, I think.

IDOLS 02 - Carly Smithson (Without You). Score: 7.5. I agree with the judges, I think she somehow held herself back a bit, not maximizing her ability

IDOLS 03 - Syesha Mercado (Vanishing). Score: 8.25. Another great vocal of her

IDOLS 04 - Brooke White (Hero). Score: 7. When I first read that Brooke was gonna sing 'Hero', i was like "What??". I dun think that song really suits her voice, hmmm... . Heather Cox got eliminated singing this song on season 5. Hell yea, it was not that great... :( However, she sang it A LOT better than Heather Cox tho

IDOLS 05 - Kristy Lee Cook (Forever). Score: 7.25. Well, not her best. In fact, I think it's her weakest performance of the last 4 weeks.

IDOLS 06 - David Cook (Always Be My Baby). Score: 9. Wow, whatta shocker!! He did so great!!

IDOLS 07 - Jason Castro (I don't wanna Cry). Score: 7. Hmm, I still dun like him

So, my bottom three:
1. Kristy Lee Cook / Carly Smithson
2. Brooke White
3. Jason Castro

Well, the actual bottom three:
5. Syesha Mercado
6. Brooke White
7. Kristy Lee Cook (VOTED OFF)

Well, I really like Kristy Lee Cook so much so I'm a bit sad with her leaving. However, Simon is right, maybe it was her time. It was so difficult to pick another contestant to go (except for Jason Castro for me, LOL). She was able to make it to the top 7 has been so amazing, noone thought she would stay this long I think, hmmmm.... . See you Kristy...

Top 8 Result

Well, the top 8 Result was shocking, the bottom three:
- Syesha Mercado
- Carly Smithson
- Michael Johns

from that bottom three, well, Carly should leave the stage. However, Ryan said: "Syesha ... and Carly ... you are safe". WHAT? Michael Johns got voted off this week?? Wah!!

Well, I never love Michael Johns so much but I gotta say he's a good singer and performer, he deserved to stay actually. But this is the face we gotta accept, hmmm

Next week the theme is gonnabe Mariah Carey. Well, David Cook and Jason Castro get the disadvantages here I think, hmmm

AI 2008 top 8, Inspirational

I just watched the top 8 show of American Idol, and my thoughts:

My top three:
1. David Archuleta (score: 9.25). A fantastic performance, not his best (his best is his 'Imagine', for me) tho, but it's great
2. Syesha Mercado (score: 8.75). Nice one!! I think she did great
3. Kristy Lee Cook (score: 8.25). Wow!! Her best week. She was so strong and she was great!! :) Go Kristy... ;)

My bottom three:
1. Carly Smithson. Err, sorry but that Queen song is not for her
2. Jason Castro. I just dun like it. I prefer Katharine McPhee's version and arrangement a lot better... :(
3. David Cook. His weakest performance

Who do i think should leave? Hmmm, I personally think Jason Castro. However, I think it will possibly be Carly. Sad to say. Syesha might also be in danger, hmmm....

AI Top 9

Okay, I just watched the show and I think:

IDOLS 01 - Brooke White. Hmm, not really good. Score: 7.5

IDOLS 02 - Jason Castro. Dun like it. Score: 6

IDOLS 03 - Ramiele Malubay. Not good. Score: 6

IDOLS 04 - David Cook. Okay. Score: 8

IDOLS 05 - Carly Smithson. Good. Score: 8.25

IDOLS 06 - David Archuleta. We all know he masters that area. Score: 8.5

IDOLS 07 - Kristy Lee Cook. Her element, it's good for her. It was Kristy Lee Week. Simon was right, last week she was better. Score: 7.5

IDOLS 08 - Syesha Mercado. Good. Score: 8.75

IDOLS 09 - Michael Johns. Good. Score: 8.25

So, my top three:
1. Syesha Mercado
2. David Archuleta
3. Michael Johns/Carly Smithson

My bottom three:
1. Brooke White/Kristy Lee Coook
2. Jason Castro
3. Ramiele Malubay

::: Bottom Three this week: Ramiele Malubay, Kristy Lee Cook, Brooke White.

The Actual Bottom three:
7. Brooke White
8. Kristy Lee Cook
9. Ramiele Malubay (voted off)

I think America got it right. Ramiele was overrated and she's the weakest of this week. Plus, she has been weak for weeks now...

Fu****g Storm

Arrrggghhh, I hate yesterday (Monday). There was a big storm on Bandung on Monday afternoon (even on Sunday, here happened an 'iced rain' for about 10 minutes but it didn't cause anything bad). That f*****g storm caused a big thing happened to my internet connection, it's now OFF!! Arrrggghhhh.... .

I already complained to the office and yes, it's still off now because the tower was hit by the lightning. Shoot. It's so weird. Eventho I have plugged in the internet cable to the ethernet plug on my laptop, the tiny lamp is not on (usually it is). Then, if I try to check my connection, it's reported that the cable is unplugged (actually it is plugged). Then, another problem: I dunno why but somehow the speaker doesn't work. I have turned the sound to maximal but it doesn't work, arrrggghhhh.... . However, all other stuffs still work tho... . I hope it's not my laptop

Anyway, so now I'm at Istana Plaza to use the hotspot connection (hahaha, lucky my PC is a laptop so it's very mobile).
