AI Update

I don't understand why people love the Archuletta kid. He's cute, he's got a beatiful voice, but he's kind of insipid. I was rooting for him for a while, but he keeps picking songs that bore me. If he keeps up like this, he won't make it past the top 5.

Was anyone surprised it was Chikeze? I was not surprised it was Chikeze. Chikeze even knew it was gonna be Chikeze. Too bad, I kind of like saying Chikeze.

I had never heard the rock version of Billy Jean that the other David did, but as he was singing it, I said he must be doing a version originated by some rock band I've never heard of, because no one on AI comes up with an arrangement that original on his own.

Well, except Blake Lewis.

Turns out I was right. Nice that Seacrest acknowledged the original last night.

Good news. I discovered I can listen to Blake Lewis sing whenever I want to on Youtube. Anyone else have an artist in this category? The "I won't pay 99 cents to download your song but I'm a big enough fan to listen to you sing on Youtube so long as its free" category?

Just me then . . . yeah, I get that a lot.

I wondered the same thing about David's version of Billy Jean- good thing my music nerd husband was watching with me- he immediately pulled up that version sung by two diff artists to prove his point.

I love the Archuletta (sp?) kid- he's adorable and he's so genuine when he sings. But yeah, he needs to work on song choice.

I'm soooo with you on the Archuletta kid!!! I don't think he'll make it to the finals at this rate. I did love that version of Billie Jean that David Cook sang though, I found all of the versions on iTunes today and ended up downloading his version, there is something about his voice that I just love :)

You're not the only one who uses youtube...I have a program that converts youtube videos to mp3s for my ipod.
