MY FAVOURITE AMERICAN IDOL 9 CONTESTANTS (WEEK4) Part1

View Comments
WELL, the first round of American Idol 9 is FINALLY over!

Here is a recap of my favourite contestants from week 4, of the Denver Auditions.

From the Chicago Auditions (Episode 7, Week 4)
Guest Judge: Victoria Beckham (minus 3 meals a day and loads of tanning, till crispy golden brown with slightly burnt edges)

Danelle Hayes (possibly our rocker chick of season 9) auditions for American Idol 9 in Denver singing “I’m the Only One”, which is quite a coincidence for she is the only one I really liked for episode 7 of  Idol Season 9. I hope she pulls it together and makes it through to the top 12. Desperation is not a pretty sight my dear, and we have Carly Smithson to vouch for that.



The other contestants (who I don't really care for) that made in through to hollywood include:


Helium cutesy Nicci Nix. She sang “Something Kinda Ooh” by Girls Aloud.




Accident Prone (and shirtless) Casey James.



Country diva wannabe Haeley Vaughn. She sang “Last Name” by Carrie Underwood.




Over tanned and over orange-d Tori Kelly who sang “Gravity” by John Mayer.



Wig Lover/ Possible Rogain Publicist Kimberly Kerbow. She sang “The Way I Am”.



and last but not least, confused son, Mark Labriola. He sang Tempted by Squeeze.


Do share with me your thoughts and favourites and who you wouldn't mind voting for this season. =D

MY FAVOURITE AMERICAN IDOL 9 CONTESTANT (WEEK 3)

WELL, the first round of American Idol 9 is ALMOST over (we are finally just an hour episode away from Hollywood rounds!)

Here is a recap of my favourite contestants from week 3, of the Los Angeles and Dallas Auditions.



From the Los Angeles Auditions (Episode 5, Week 3)
Guest Judge: Avril Lavigne (I 'loved' you but I'm officially a Katy Perry fan as of tonight), Katy Perry (Kara's future replacement/ current frenemy/ well-rounded bitch *with love darlin*)


Mary Powers auditions for American Idol 9 in Los Angeles. She sang “Love Is A Battlefield” by Pat Benatar. Well, theres definately something about Mary, but 1980s just called last night, and they want all of it back. Loved the tone of her vocals, yet personally, I have to agree with Simon when he thought that her performance was cliche. I felt like i was watching an episode of Friends where Joey is playing the role of Dr Drake Ramoray, rock version. Or maybe Mary spent the night before her Idol auditions watching Disney Channel with her daughter, and they were imitating the bad child actors
But yeah, loved her tone.
And her daughter.


Andrew Garcia auditions on American Idol in Los Angeles singing “Sunday Morning” by Maroon5. FINALLY a contestant that I am extremely estatic over ( I mean other that Charity, my beloved blonde Ugly Betty/ little singing sparrow)
I dunno. Words simply cannot describe his performance.
Lets just watch him and drool together. (again)


 
 

Tasha Layton auditions for American Idol 9 in Los Angeles with “Baby Baby Baby” by Joss Stone.
Tasha tasha tasha, our pretty Miss minister. Honestly, she seems like someone i'd like to do a class project with, There's a certain clarity to her voice that I find appealing.
See. God does exist.




From the Dallas Auditions (Episode 6, Week 3)
Guest Judge: Neil Patrick Harris, Joe Jonas (put the three Jonas Brothers together and you have 'noise', so I suppose it makes sense to separate them)



Kimberly Carver auditions for American Idol 9 in Dallas singing an original song. Kimberly needs to stand out more and looking like Kelly Clarkson (again) does not count. We already have Allison Iraheta for that. On the bright side, I loved her finger snapping audition. Simon, what were you thinking.
Kimberly 1: Simon 0, and we're not talking about dress sizes here folks.





Todrick Hall, who has performed with Fantasia Barrino in The Color Purple on Broadway, auditions for American Idol 9 in Dallas, sang an original song which was interestingly catchy. I hope this would be the original-song stand out in Idol Season 9 and not 'Pants on the Ground.
But then again we have William Hung's album release, enough for us to reconsider what is acceptable and what isn't.
Like Heidi Klum once said (and is still saying), one day you're in, and the next day you're out, and she wasn't talking about her giving birth, the octo-mom, or Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

So these are my top favourites for week 3 of the Los Angeles and Dallas auditions. Other contestants that have made it through to Hollywood in these two episodes include Worship Pastor Jim Ranger, Over-pimped/over-adopted Chris Golightly, Dock worker Lloyd Thomas, Barney and Friends dominatrix Erica Rhodes. Maegan Wright, Tourette Syndrome Dave Pittman, and Cancer Survivor Christian Spear.

Do share with me your thoughts and favourites and who you wouldn't mind voting for this season!


MY FAVOURITE AMERICAN IDOL 9 CONTESTANT (WEEK2)

WELL, the first round of American Idol 9 is ALMOST over (we are finally just an hour episode away from Hollywood rounds!)

Here is a recap of my favourite contestants from week 2, of the Chicago and Orlando Auditions.

From the Chicago Auditions (Episode 3, Week 2)
Guest Judge: Shania Twain. (That DID impress me much)


Katelyn Epperly auditions for American Idol 9 in Chicago. She sang “Syrup and Honey” by Duffy and girlfriend sounds incredible, maybe a little too much like Kelly Clarkson. However, as far as Kelly Clarkson soundalikes fate goes on American Idol, I have a pretty good feeling she'll make it far this season.


Charity Vance auditions for American Idol 9 in Chicago singing “Summertime”. She is as cute as a button and I simply adore her! Charity (how can you not love that name), also looks like she should try out for America's Next Top Model. Maybe in another 3 cycles, cause Tyra just completed a cycle with those tiny girls. Her voice just reminds me of a beautiful little sparrow singing in the summer's breeze.
Omg. I'm turning into Mary Poppins. Oh Charity, the things you do to me.


Angela Martin auditions for the third time for American Idol, this time round, in Chicago. I remember her from Archie's season. Angela sang “Just Fine” by Mary J. Blige. Loved her then, Love her more now. I SERIOUSLY hope she'll make it this time. Third time the charm? I'm not one to beg, but PLEEEASSSEE!
Yeah.
Meant to do that.



John Park auditions for American Idol 9 in Chicago. He sang “I Love You More Than You’ll Ever Know” by Donny Hathaway. My god! He just oozes sexy all over. Korean guys are hot, and most importantly, boyfriend can sing his toned tight ass off.
And yes.
I meant to say that too.



From the Orlando Auditions (Episode 4, Week 2)
Guest Judge: Kristin Chenoweth (I liked her, just not with Kara, who is really starting to annoy me this season)




Jermaine Purifoy auditions for American Idol 9 in Orlando. He sang “Smile”. I definately like him, but once again, its one of those 'likes' that are specifically 'reserved' for idol. I can imagine him on broadway and nothing else. Having said that, I love musicals and he did mention in the last bit of his interview that he's going to take more risks, so we'll see. As far as risks go however, he ain't no Adam Lambert, although I'm still positively hopeful.

So these are my top favourites for week 2 of the Chicago and Orlando auditions. Other contestants that made it through in these two episodes include half-faced Shelby Dressel , Cornelius Edwards (Mr-Split-pants-while-doing-a-Tina), Seth Rollins and slightly nasal asthmatic, Paige Dechausse.

On a different note, I HAVE to mention Amy Lang. I think she has one of the best personalities i have seen on this season thus far. Girlfriend is HILARIOUS. Amy, if you are reading this, you know I say it with love.
and for Amy's fans, I sincerely dedicate this clip to you. (Boobboxing and all)




God bless you Amy Lang for you have made the world a better place with those boxing babies.


MY FAVOURITE AMERICAN IDOL 9 CONTESTANT (Week 1)

WELL, the first round of American Idol 9 is ALMOST over (we're probably just an hour episode away from Hollywood rounds)

Here is a recap of my favourite contestants from week 1, of the Boston and Atlanta Auditions.

From the Boston Auditions (Episode 1, Week 1)
Guest Judge: Victoria Beckham (snooze)

Jess Wolfe auditions in Boston for American Idol Season 9 with “People Get Ready” by Curtis Mayfield.
She sounds so much like Joss Stone, who i think is CRAZY hot. She's definately my favourite female contestant from the first week auditions. HOWEVER, simply for the fact that she had to 'share' her audition footage, I'm guessing that she will end up in one of those 'crying-girl-montages' right after they get cut from the competition during the Hollywood week.
Having said that, I hope she does an 'Allison Iraheta' and kicks ass even without getting that much exposure this early on in the competition.
There I said it.




Maddy Curtis auditions for American Idol Season 9 in Boston. She sang “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen. I like her for the competition specifically but I doubt very much that I'd ever purchase her album if she comes out a winner. Maybe if she does a Leona Lewis, I might just consider downloading Maddy online. =X




16-year-old Katie Stevens auditions for American Idol Season in Boston. She sang “At Last”. Katie has such a soothing voice and the way she manages to hold her notes, is nothing short of amazing. If you just close your eyes and listen to her sing, vocally she sounds very much like Christina Aguilera, a more 'softer', tender version, without too much of the vocal gymnastics. (with more clothes of course) Yeah. Keep the hate mail to yourself. Christina and I are like BFFs. Well, kinda. ish.



28-year-old Joshua Blaylock auditions for American Idol Season 9 in Boston. He sang “God Bless The Broken Road” by Rascall Flatts. He was not that GREAT, but I cannot help but be biased just this time cause he is simply ADORABLE. Joshua looks like a mix breed of Archuleta and Kris Allen (although i'm a die hard Glambert fan)
Go ArchiAllen!
=D


Justin Williams auditions for American Idol Season 9 in Boston. He sang “Feeling Good.” Oh Lord, I love his voice. He's like a Buble 'lightweight'. Although I'm very sure physically he isn't. =P





From the Atlanta Auditions (Episode 2, Week1)
Guest Judge: Mary J. Blinge (doing a whitney, on crack)


Tisha Holland auditions for American Idol Season 9 in Atlanta. She sang “Impossible” by Christina Aguilera. Ooo! Tisha! 'Thats ma gurl!' Nuff said.





Bryan Walker audition for American Idol Season 9 in Atlanta. He sang “Superstar”. I like his voice, i mean he can swoon me with it anytime, but I'm not really crazy of his whole 'package' (and i swear i mean it in the least sexual way possible) I don't know. He's no Danny Gokie, but he's got a really nice, NICE sexy voice.




Jermaine Sellers auditions for American Idol Season 9 in Atlanta. He sang “What If God Was One Of Us” by Joan Osborne. He's definately a stand-out for me for the first week, song choice and all. For what its worth, he sounds as smooth as a well blended, well-chilled banana chocolate protein shake  right after a 3 hour gym session WITH cardio.
Uhuh.
I'm not really subtle, I've been told. =D



So yesh. Those are my FAVOURITE contestants from the first week auditions for Season 9. Do share with me your thoughts and favourites for this episode.
