American Idol top picks

Tyler and I have watched every episode of American Idol and are loving it. It's sort of relaxing (commercial free w/Tyler's home theatre PC that he built). It's entertaining and it brings me back to my auditioning and casting days. I know how they feel, to a certain extent.

There are 36 finalists now. I am going to try to narrow it down to MY top 12 not necessarily what the nation will vote for.

My top 3:
1. Danny Gokey (best so far)
2. Lil Rounds (top girl so far)
3. Anoop Desai

this is hard...my other top choices:
1. Alexis Grace
2. Jackie Tohn
3. Jorge Nunez-Mendez
4. Matt Giraud
5. Stevie Wright
6. Scott Macintyre --blind guy

That leaves 3 variable others....

The Young ones (under 18), all very good!
1. Stevie
2. Mishavonna
3. Taylor
4. Jasmine
5. Allison
6. Arianna

Honarable mentions.....they are sweet but probably won't make it to the top 12, or they really have to prove themselves in the next few weeks.

1. Michael Sarver--family man/rough neck--one of my favorites
2. Matt Breitzke--family man/welder
3. Von Smith--I like him, Tyler doesn't
4. Kai Kalama
5. Jasmine
6. Adam Lampert--I really like him but he may be too "dramatic"
7.
Alex Wagner-Trugman
8. Nick Mitchell--goofy and funny and decent voice...but not an american idol, not yet anyway
9. all the young ones
10. Kristen McNamara

Lyric forgetters or Brooke wannabe's:
1. Stephen Fowler
2. Anne Marie Boskovich
3.
Casey Carlson

Want to be rid of/DIVA's:
1. Nathanial
2. Tatiana

What do you think? Who do you like?

  3. I agree 200% with your list of "wanna be rid of's" I can't STAND Tatiana. She drives me bonkers.

    And, like you, I love Danny Gokey and Lil' Rounds. Both amazing! Great minds think alike! Can't wait for the actual performances to start next week!

  4. So you pretty much mentioned all of them. How do you even know them all already? I really like Gokey and Anoop too. And the drama king and queen have got to go, I was so mad when they made it over Jamar- Gokey's friend.

  5. I guess I didn't read the first part before, but Tyler is actually watching all the episodes with you? That surprises me.

  6. Hi Hannah!
    Sorry, I just saw your comment, for some reason it didn't get mailed to my inbox! Anyway, to answer your question, yes! We are collecting clothing donations, selling them at a huge sale event on Feb. 27th and donating all of the money to the Mothers Without Borders organization to help build a school for over 600 AIDS orphans. It should be really fun. That's okay if you can't hold on to donations, I still need to get a donation volunteer for your area, but as soon as I do, you can just drop donations off to them and be done with it! Thanks for your interest in helping! email me at serveutah@live.com if you have any other questions!
