American Idol and Glee Weekly Update
April 13th
We'll start with Glee. The season premiere highly exceeded my expectations and I am excited about the rest of the season. Idina Menzel guest starred which was what I was most looking foward to about the episode. She played the coach of the oppposing Glee Club. I thought the looked close to an older version of Lea Michele who plays Rachel and my mom agreeed. There was a ton of drama in this episode. Teri came back into the picture breifly to pick up her dvds and mentioned to Emma that a song she and Will had danced to a few scenes before was the song they'd danced to at the prom their junior year. I felt really bad for Emma because she obviously really liked Will but like she said to him he needs to work a lot of stuff out. Rachel met up with the heartthrob of the opposing team played by Jonathan Groff which made the other members of the club furious and Sue sends out Brittany and Santana after Finn to make Rachel jealous. The whole Santana/Brittany thing came off to me a little odd. It seemed to me like they were lesbians but I couldn't tell.. that would make for a very interesting plot dynamic..i'm not sure how exactly. Also Brittany's character is kind of a ditz and I get continously annoyed by her. " Are dolphins a type of gay shark?" I mean come on.
Tonight's American Idol theme was Elvis Presley and the mentor was none other than last season's runner up Adam Lambert. He gave the contestants really awesome advice and unlike Miley Cyrus he was a good choice for a mentor. The judges were finally less nitpicky about song choice which made me enjoy the show even more and it just seemed to flow more nicely. Three people redeemed themshleves from horrible performances last week and those people were Tim with his rendition of Can't Help Falling In Love With You (my mom and dad's wedding song), Big Mike's rendition of In The Ghetto and Siobhann's rendition of Suspicious Minds. All performances that are worth the download in my opinion. Crystal continues to hold steady and so does Lee. Andrew totally ruined Hound Dog. Why oh why is he still in this compettion?

Aaron Blue Suede Shoes 5.5
Andrew Hound Dog 4
Casey Lawdy Ms Claudy ( i think I may have misheard the title) 7.5
Crystal Saved 9
Katie Baby What Are You Gonna Do? 10 One word that describes her is DIVA!
Big Mike In The Ghetto 9
Lee Little Less Conversation 9
Siobhann Suspicious Minds 8
Tim Can't Help Falling In Love 7
Bottom 2 Predictions Aaron and Andrew
Results! Not to be cheesy but it was music to my ears when Andrew got eliminated. He should have been gone weeks and weeks ago. Katie was the shocker I really was expectiong either Aaron or Tim to go home and not her. She may have struggled in the beginning but she has improved a lot over the past couple weeks. Results show performances Adam Lambert...meh Brooke White and ?? ( I forgot the guy's name... they were both in season 7.) Pretty good.
Top 7 Crystal Casey Sibohann Big Mike Tim Aaron Lee
Next week's theme /mentor Inspirational Songs /Alicia Keys Another great mentor choice
Songs I'd like to see the contestants sing:
Big Mike Dance With My Father Luther Vandross- He is good at singing very soulful and emotionally captivating numbers.
Lee You've Got A Friend James Taylor
Casey Live Like You Were Dying Tim McGraw
Aaron My Wish Rascal Flatts He does really good with country. If he does this song it will redeem him from the horrible performances he has had recently.
Tim You've Got A Friend James Taylor
Crystal Reflection Christina Augliera She needs to change it up a little. I am actually starting to get kind of bored with her performances though for the most part they have been good.
Siobhann You're The Inspiration Chicago
Group Song: Don't Stop Believing Journey
