Pick your pony!
That's right, American Idol is up for a fifth season. I've been watching the shows on a regular basis, although I dobut that I'll invest as much of my emotions this time around (we all know how I crashed and burned with Constantine's untimely elimination). However, I've already got my AI picks and pans this early in the season. Wanna see? :)[Note: I'm not commenting on all twenty-four because I found a lot of them forgettable. Whoopsies.]
Chris Daughtry
If you can rock-ify the BeeGees' "Emotions," you've made a believer out of me. And boy, did he rock it! I would gladly trade in my WWE Raw Live Tour tickets just to watch Chris sing "Emotions" once more. Add to that his whole "hardworking person, loving husband and good father" image and...okay, so maybe "Bo Bice version 2" might come to mind, but I think Chris is in a league of his own. Talent, likability and a big ol' heart...Chris has me won over from the get-go!
Bobby Bennett
His flamboyant personality, thick eyebrows, that face and the tiny hint of a mustache on it...gee, Bobby sure reminds me of one of my classmates in Ilang-ilang. Hehe.
Anyway, I'm not entirely sure about Bobby's voice, but I definitely want him to stick around just because he's so amusing. :P
Ace Young
Ah, the token prettyboy. Can't say much about this guy, except that his name's got quite a ring to it, he sounds like Justin Timberlake when he sings, and he looks like...
Haha. [I LOVE YOU CONSTANTINE!!!]
Paris Bennett
Nooooo...one Fantasia Barrino is more than enough, honey. Paris is my mom's favorite, but so was Fantasia, and Fantasia didn't fare too well as far as album sales went.
Katharine McPhee
Simon's pick from the beginning. Talented, pretty, nice, and sort of bland (although she can be funny on occasion). As far as I'm concerned, Katharine is the Carrie Underwood of Season 5. I wasn't surprised that she made it this far, and I wouldn't be surprised if she won the whole thing.
...Hey, doesn't she look an awful lot like Brooke from One Tree Hill?
Hmm.
David Radford
John Stevens, version 2. And I never liked John Stevens. Well, at least David's a more talented and better-looking John Stevens.
Sway Penala
I have never been one to root for an Idol contestant because he or she was Filipino (I HATED Jasmine Trias, mind you), but I happen to have heard Sway sing before -- he was in a band called Kai, and I've had their song "Say You'll Stay" on instant repeat on my mp3 player for years now -- and he (UNLIKE JASMINE) is really good.
Brenna Gethers
She's abrasive, irritating, sort of a bitch, and oddly enough, I think she rocks! My brother Jason says she's the Mikalah Gordon of Season 5. Haha. You go, girl!
That's all for now, stay tuned for the next installment! J.C., out!
