There are no words...

The highly anticipated pictures from our all-girls' night in Lehi are here! For the record, if I had any control over Fern, I would have made her buy, and then wear, that jumper. I like it. Hehe.

Poor Wein...that is not the look you should be going for. But I know you know that already.

Results show...

I didn't watch last night - but I already knew what was going to happen. Michael went home, no big surprise. What did shock me, was the fact that Matt was almost lost to us! What are people thinking? It can't happen again...not until Megan, Lil, Scott, and Anoop go home.

At least people didn't let Allison get into the bottom. She is by far my favorite girl.

Meghan, Fern's and Mary's Picks

Meghan:
Michael, Megan and Scott; Michael going home

Fern:
Michael, Megan and Lil: Michael going home

Mary:
Michale, Megan and Lil: Megan going home

American Idol Wk#4: Motown

Mmmmm.... I like me some Kris. And Matt. And Gokey.

And holy cow! Adam's transformation was fantastic.

Of course, Allison was amazing. Did anyone see her fabulous jacket? I swear, there's something wrong with the way I am so jealous of a 16-year old. But dude, if I had her wardrobe, ability to wear bright pink hair and her vocals! Dang...what I could do with a set of vocals like that.

Overall, this week's performances were awesome! I am convinced that Smokey Robinson is one of the nicest people in the whole world. He had nothing but good things to say to each of the Idols. I am really tired of Scott (and his nasty pink, flesh-toned pants) and Michael. And I'm over Lil.

Anoop did good...

I'm not sure what was going on between Paula and Simon, but it was fairly amusing and mostly annoying. Hopefully they will leave the props at home.

Did I miss anything?

Bottom 3: Michael, Scott and Megan.
Going home: Michael

Good-bye Alexis.

The judges might have saved her, if she could keep her unraveling nerves in check while she sang for the last time. She was cute and sassy and had a pretty unique style, but it wasn't enough to keep her in the competition.


UPDATED POINTS

Why they're my favorites...

I was going to suggest to the FTC that we pick who we think is going to make it all the way through to be the next American Idol - but I have way too many favorites right now, there is NO WAY I could decide. They are all so different, that it makes it really hard to pick just one.

• I love Allison. She is who I want to be. And she's only 16. I wish I could have hair like hers. I LOVE it. I ask my roommate if I could pull it off - of course I can't. I know I can't. I don't have the Columbian skin tone that she has. Or the guts. Also, she has been wearing some awesome leather jackets. That's all just based on looks and style - I love her rocky, edgy voice as well. I've been very impressed, because normally I don't like the younger ones.
• Danny has been a favorite from the beginning. Not only that, but he gets to wear a different pair of frames every week! I wish I could do that. I wish I had 52 pairs of glasses, and could wear a different pair every week. Man, that would be awesome. I thought he did fantastic singing "Jesus Take the Wheel" this week.
• I am in love with Kris. I hate the way he spells his name, because I think it is sort of girly. But not only is he Christian, and really cute towards his wife - he can sing. Swoon. I love listening to him. Plus, he plays the guitar. Dang, he's just beautiful. I'm pretty sure he could grow a great beard as well...oh, AND besides his incredible brown eyes, he has by far the BEST jawline I have ever seen. I think. It's magnificent.
• I hate to admit that I forget about Matt a lot. However, every time he performs, I love him all over again. Randy said that he is a lot like Jason Mraz, and he's got a sort of Justin Timberlake-look about him. But I totally like him.

While those are my favorite, I have some honorable mentions as well.

• Adam is weird, and different. And clearly gay. However, he is unique and talented. I loved his "Ring of Fire" rendition last night. Holy cow, it was awesome! It totally reminded me of something that Muse would do, and I was disappointed that the judges didn't pick up on that. I just wish he wouldn't wear jewelry that a 60-year old woman would wear.
• Megan is cool. A walking contradiction. A typical blonde from Utah, but with a half sleeve tattoo. Man - I would totally do that... or not, but I think it is awesome that she has. She's quirky and has a really interesting tone. But I can't watch her. Her weird hip thrust, bop thing...it's annoying and weird. She can't dance. She's so awkward to watch. But I like to listen to her sing.
  

Biased Reporting

Clearly there has been a decrease in the integrity of the reporting on the FTC blog. For the record:

1. Anoop did not destroy his chances, since he was back this week.
2. Anoop did—BY FAR—the best this week.
3. We are not in love with Kris.
4. He is just ok.
5. And kind of looks like a hobbit.

AMERICAN IDOL WK #3

With American Idol in full-swing, we've been shocked with the top 13 instead of 12, watched Anoop absolutely destroy his hopes of winning during Michael Jackson week and fallen in love with KRIS! The FTC has begun its season-long competition and the standing is currently:


FERN'S Bottom 3:

Michael is going home.

Li'l Essie's Bottom 3:

Michael going home.

MJ's Bottom 3:

Megan is going home.

Weiner's Bottom 3:

Michael is going home.
