American Idol : The Top Eight Boys

two more of these young gentlemen will leave us on thursday, let's find out who earns the least votes tonight.

up first is Blake, the recordless turntablist/spikeyhaired fella who apparently is a big fan of halloween and being in character. swell. does 311's 'all mixed up'. he actually sang it better than the original singer. sounded really cool and looked very at ease onstage. none of the judges even recognize the song but they all love the performance. i am a lil worried that america's gonna grow tired of his wild and crazy vocal antics, but i think he's probably the frontrunner from the dudes.

sanjaya is surprised to still be in the competetion after last weeks very sub par performance. hes back with a much cooler outfit and remarkably straight hair. as soon as he starts singing, i lose all hope for young sanjaya. i really wanted to see him go far but the song choice alone is enough to start packing. pair the song choice with the super weak delivery of that lame john mayer waitin on the world to change song and you have yourself a recipe for going home.
a little better than last week, says randy, i say he has only gone downhill since his first (excellent) audition. thats a damn shame. his face gets poutyer and poutyer as the judges give him some helpful much needed feedback.

sundance just wears the fatguy suit on tv. haha. pearl jam's 'jeremy'. wtf, a strange choice, to be sure, but maybe he can pull it off. he's screaming with enthusiasm, but it just sounds ok. he has a fauxhawk and hes singing a song about a teenegaer shooting himself in the head during class. i am not sure about all this. randy and paula enjoyed it, but simon found it like a 'generic bar singer'. i think he belted it out decently but it was far from great.

travis tritt stopped on by the show! he's just chillin over there with the girls, watchin the show. i love that guy. randy is producing his new album, there's the connection.

chris richardson was a chunkier back in the day but has lost 40 pounds. ah ha, hes going after the fat vote. an important voting block in the u, s, and a.
alone in this house again tonight, tv wine, etc... what a drag of a song. c'mon chris. kinda slow and boring, but his voice sounds fantastic and he doesnt seem so jt tonight, which is good for him. he needs to put a lil distance between him and sexyback. randy and paula were impressed but simon thinks it was cutesy and wants more from chris. word.

jared, the black taylor hicks who sang lets get it on to his grandma last week is pumped, and comes out with a big "cmon yall lets have some fun, woooo!" classic soul patrol behavior. sings a stevie wonder song, but nothing i know. kinda boring, nothing special at all. especially along with the collared shirt under the gap sweater. randy liked it but paula thinks he needs to work on 'coloring it up' and simon agrees that it was unoriginal, no wow factor. i think we may lose jared.

next is brandon, the classical piano player. much better song than last week, and a lot better singing. ya. he'll do fine this week.

phil is just not a good singer, and he has a ridiculous hat on, and he chose to sing a leann rimes song, and he has big crazy gollum eyes, but he does have dog tags and a cross around his neck, so dont count him out quite yet.

last but certainly not least is chris sliegh. what is this eighties synth crazy song hes singing? we all wannabe loved or something. not a good choice at all man, disappoining. judges all think it was a terrible song choice. "i apologize that i didnt bring it like i shouldve". ya, please bring it back next week chris.

sanjaya, sundance, jared and phil will be the next four to go, in no particular order, but theres my prediction for the next three weeks.
