About Idol Season 4

Ok, we're down to the last 8 contestants. For the last 4 weeks, you've had your chance to cast your vote in the little poll on my blog. If you went for Jessica Sierra or Nikko Smith... *buzzer sound* Nyeaaaah... (Side note to Totally Tim: Told you Nikko was a loser who did a bad impersonation of Jamiroquai... Heheh!)

Anyway, if you're interested, here're the final poll results.


American Idol Poll Results
Posted by Hello

And here's my take for the competition's top 3, in no particular order. Not a hard decision, to be honest...
1) Anwar Robinson
2) Constantine Maroulis
3) Carrie Underwood

ANWAR ROBINSON

Top 3 performances so far:
- "Moon River"
- "Ain't Nobody" by Chaka Khan
- "I'll Never Love This Way Again" by Dionne Warwick --> Brilliant, by the way. I totally love this song... And Anwar's rendition was perfect!

He'll make it because:
Tons have fallen for that sweet, wholesome, school music teacher persona and that angellic, crystal clear voice.

What I think:
Gay. Definitely. I mean... C'mon... Chaka Khan and Dionne Warwick?! Which black man would even think of singing songs from these 2 divas unless he had a broken wrist?

CONSTANTINE MAROULIS

Top 3 performances so far:
- "I Think I Love You" by The Patridge Family
- "I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Rait
- "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen --> Awww man! I'm still reeling from how fabulous Connie did this... *head bangs till she gets dizzy*

He'll make it because:
Tons have fallen for that leather-wearing bad ass on the outside, heart of gold teddy bear on the inside persona, so much so they'll forgive his occasional lapse.

What I think:
I wanna shag him. Now. Please. Hah. Nah, I don't think that. I know that! Hahahaha...

CARRIE UNDERWOOD

Top 3 performances so far:
- "Could've Been" by Tiffany
- "Alone" by Heart
- "Love Is A Battlefield" by Pat Benatar --> Gosh... For a country girl, she sure as hell did justice to 1 of the biggest female rockers from the 80s!

She'll make it because:
Tons have fallen for that Goldilocks-Britney face. Plus she has the voice, versatility and talent that Miss Spears could never even dream of having...

What I think:
Although Carrie's very good, she doesn't inspire any particular emotion in me. Which is rare, since I usually have a view on everything. Heh...

Anyone have any other opinions? :P

Free & blatant publicity...ahh yes...the powers of advertisin :O

I have to disagree, I don't think Anwar can make it, he doesn't have the fanbase. I think Carrie, Nadia, and Vonzell have the best shot. Constantine is good, but eventually the core audience of American Idol will swing the vote to more "pop" material, I think.


BTW, I love your page design.

Bo Bice !! I hope .. Even if he does not win, I feel he would still excel in the music industry and blow away previous idols on record sales.

I don't really follow it, but I have to agree with gold, I love Bo! Go Bo! Somehow Constantine doesn't do it for me, but Bo, the hair, the rock voice, all he needs is a guitar and I'm his allllllll the way baybee...

Adrock - Haha... I agree with Missduhr. Maybe I should charge you. Haaaaaaa! :P

Geoff - Looks like you thought wrong. ;) Nadia's good I agree but like LaToya last year, she's not a crowd puller. As for Vonzell, I just have my doubts on whether the public wants another black Idol winner. Especially since Reuben and Fantasia haven't been the huge hits everyone predicted they would be. Well... We'll see, huh? Oh... And thanks for the blog compliment! :D

Gold / Slinky Cat - Yeah, I like Bo too. I have a thing for rockers in leather I think. Hahaha... The only reason I'm guessing that Anwar will be in the top 3 is because I think he'll appeal to all the old ladies and school marms sort. Hehehe... Plus, he has a cute name. Bo Bice. Bo Bice Bo Bice Bo Bice Bo Bice Bo Bice Bo Bice...

FF - Uh huh. He's hot. And tall. And he has that cute cleft in his chin. And those dreamy eyes. Ok, I'll stop now. *sheepish grin*

G said...

Yep, I was wrong on that one! Shocked too. I hope you agree that Scott doesn't deserve 1 second more of airtime.

April said...

Geoff - Uh huh. Totally. I thought his choice of song this week was utter crap. But that's the least of his problems. Scott lacks the talent, stage presence and the looks to be anything but what he is - A fat, above average singer. I'm sorry if this makes me shallow but I think you need to be at least moderately attractive and charismatic in order to be an Idol... Which is why I can't for the life of me fathom why America voted Reuben instead of Clay... :|
