I shall admit this. I’m not really a big fan of American Idol but because of the contestant David Cook (YES), I’m kind of catching it on TV nowadays. He is AMAZING! He’s got this easily distinguished husky rocker voice and has been dubbed as the next Chris Daughtry. I know it’s already the seventh season so everyone’s like argh, BORING, nothing new anymore. But I couldn’t disagree more. Simply because for me, it’s the only or rather 1st season I’d ever watched. HAHA. I mean it! Seriously, I didn’t catch any AI episodes before that except for grand finals where my family would also catch too. Yea, so now you can imagine my household TV being eerily silent on Wednesday & Thursday nights. Lol.

Back to David Cook, he may not be the most handsome looking musician out there, but his voice is just irresistible. And I think he’s the most talented contestant this season. Because he’s brave enough to take risks by changing the songs and turning them into this rocker-style genre even though the song may be some slow oldie.
My favorite from him has to be “All I really Need is You” by Neil Diamond. This is one SUPER oldie song if u listened to the original singer, Diamond. But Cook changed the melody to a more electric rocking style so I love it. Many others too!
Video below. He sang it this past week. I didn’t catch it on TV, on Youtube actually. LOL.

But so far the song he’s received great reviews for is “Billie Jean”. Again, this one was a Chris Cornell remake, sounding very much like a rock song. It garnered more than 1 million viewers on youtube already.
Another contestant I like a lot is Jason Castro. That dude is awesome with his acoustic guitar! His style is somewhat similar to Jack Johnson, and being a huge Jack Johnson fan, how can one not love Castro?
I just have issues with his hair, or rather dreads. HAHA.
The guy same age as us, David Archuleta, is so CUTE. He’s got this likeable personality, beautiful voice for his age, and good looks.
I predict the top two’s gonna be both David. Cook and Archuleta fighting it out at finals.

The judge I prefer among all 3 has got to be Simon Cowell. He always says the right things and is clear & concise with his words. So what if he’s mean, sometimes they got to hear the awful truth to improve or they can just get their asses out of the competition! Critical huh? I mean look at Paula Abdul, always saying nice things and sweet stuff to contestants. She’s really nice, nothing against her. People like to hear nice things about their performance, but nice words don’t get you far, the truth which sometimes hurts does. Randy Jackson is kind of like a bullhorn, “Yo DUDE, that was hot, HOT, fire baby, FIRE!” Repeating the same sentences again and again… =.= He can be like a motivator or something. Hahaha.

And I think the voting for AI is kind of ridiculous. More than millions of viewers vote each week, hell! The producers must be millionaires or billionaires by now! So unfair, LOL. Okay, random blabbing above, ignore me.
My next post’s going to be less personal and more boring, so, till then!
