AI Recap (Top Ten)

Matt Giraud: I was a little nervous when I heard what song he was singing. But dude nailed it once again. I hope Randy and Simon's proclamation that he is a front runner is now true. I don't really dig the whole start out with an instrument and move away from it thing though.

Kris Allen: Sounded good again. There is still something missing though. I am a big acoustic music fan and I feel like I should really like him, but I am still not convinced.

Scott MacIntyre: Remember that time last week when I said I was starting to like him? Yeah, it's gone. I hated him this week. What a poor song choice.

Megan Joy: Not a good week for her at all. Some nice moments in her song, but overall very unimpressive. She was very pitchy at first. And she only did her awkward Megan wiggle once tonight- I have a love/hate relationship with the Megan Wiggle.

Anoop Desai: Good week for Anoop. He chose again to chill it out this week and it was a good choice. He'll be safe

Michael Sarver: Dude bugs. Please America be done with him. He is not bad- just needs to go home to his little Beast child. He did seem to be all over the place tonight as well.

Lil' Rounds: She looked better this week.... But the Token Black Girl with a "big voice" is probably the worst Token Black girl that has made it this far in the show in the last few years. Go Home to your three children soon please.

Adam Lambert: GREAT week for Adam. He didn't freak me out with his death stare, he didn't scream at me and sing 3 octaves above a normal dude's range the whole song and he looked half normal. That was the smartest thing I have seen done so far this season. He sounded great- he looked great. Don't worry all you Adam lovers, he'll be back to himself again next week.

Danny Gokey: Awesome song choice. Has yet to have a bad week. Ditched the abominable snowman jacket and did his thing once again.

Allison Iraheta: She needs to STAY on this show. I really hope she is the last Girl left. She rocked it tonight. Was super spunky and poised. She sounded great.

My Bottom Three Predictions:

Michael Sarver
Megan Joy
Scott MacIntyre

AI Recap (Top Eleven)

I know I am a week late with this, but I wrote it so I am posting it. Stop yelling.

Michael Sarver: Eh... He was fine. Nothing horrible about it, I just don't like him much for some reason. Maybe it's cause he still reminds me of the Beast from the Beauty and the Beast TV series from the late 80s.

Allison Iraheta: I still want to hate her. But I cannot. I really do love her voice- I don't care if she sings unhealthily. Girl can sing.

Kris Allen: He proved tonight that he really can sing. But for some reason he is forgettable. I like him- just not in one of my top few.

Lil' Rounds: was fine. She can sing. She has a huge booty. Blah blah. Same ol' Same ol'. I am hoping she doesn't make it very far.

Adam Lambert: Johnny Cash was with out a doubt rolling over uncomfortably in his grave. It was an interesting performance of "Ring of Fire" I didn't hate it- But I do hate him staring at me via the camera every week. Dude, you are scaring the children. Calm down.

Scott MacIntyre: I like him. I like his slow vibrato. Every week I like him more and more. But I will always think he is still on the show because of sympathy votes and that bugs me. Song was fine this week, but his goofy smile and personality made me like him.

Alexis Grace: forgettable week for her. Her past performances will probably keep her on and she wasn't bad. Just not impressive this week. And her little attitude kind of rubbed me the wrong way this week.

Danny Gokey: was a bit timid at first (probably just because the song starts out in his low range which seems to not be his favorite place) but dude rocked it. I love him changing up songs that I wouldn't dare to touch and making me like that he did. Reminds me of what David Cook did last year (except David Cook borrowed his arrangements from people).

Anoop Desai: did get back to version of Anoop that got him this far. he really has soul and can sing. He did well and will be safe. I don't see him going super far in the competition though.

Megan Joy: holy boobs. I have a crush on her and I was a bit uncomfortable with that dress. But I loved the look over all and think she did enough to stay around another week. She is intriguing. I like seeing what she brings to the table each week.

Matt Giraud: Man-Crush alert. Matt just made my man-crush list after a couple weeks of flirting with it. I love his style and I love that he is a dueling piano man. Still don't think he will win, but I want him on the show for many weeks to come.

Dear DI Cell Phone Thief,

"How much is the reward?" is not an acceptable question. We are not in negotiations here. You claimed Bryan's phone at the DI when an old man asked if anyone lost it. The phone is two years old, beat up and that model is on Ebay for $15. You can't even get only $15 dollars at out of an ATM. So when you call us back and ask "how much is the phone worth to you?" The answer is 0 dollars. It is worth 0 dollars and you are a douche.

Good luck using the free internet at the Library to list it on Ebay.

With Love,

Cope



(Dear Reader, don't worry about why I was at the DI. With Love, Cope)

RBADDK (March Madness)

-President Obama filled out a bracket for the NCAA tourny. In response to him not picking Duke to make it to the Final Four Coach K (coach of Duke University) made this comment "As much as I respect what he's doing, really, the economy is something that he should focus on, probably more than the brackets." The comment overall is accurate, President Obama should focus more on the problems with the economy than the NCAA Tourny. But do you really think he sat in the Oval Office for hours and contemplated his picks for the NCAA tourny? That's a big fat hell no. He is just being the personable, likable President everyone wanted. Coach K, thank you for helping bring back the Gold Medal to the good ol USA, but get over it. (He did later make an announcement that he was just being playful... It's just an emotion we don't ever see from him)

-This recent change in weather has caused me to want to frolic through daffodils. Yeah, I said it.

-March Madness is upon us. And that is glorious.

-What is not glorious however, is the NCAA's anti bias towards "mid-majors". Utah State probably wouldn't have made the field of 65 had they not won the conference tourny. That is a 30 win team. And how do they get rewarded for winning the auto bid? With an 11 seed. Ridiculous. BYU had another great season, beat some really good teams played some powerhouses ridiculously close and took a share of the MWC title. Their prize? An 8 seed rematch against a quality team. The Utes (whom I still hate) took a share of the Regular season title, had huge wins and won the MWC tourny. They were probably seeded higher than they deserve, but who do they get to play? Oh, just a team that has the longest consecutive NCAA tourny births. Going into the Conference tourny the MWC was predicted to have 4 teams make it to the tourny. UNLV and New Mexico played their way out, but SDSU should have played themselves in... I am not crying foul play- just think the system is all sorts of F-ed up.

-I was pretty anti Twitter for a while. But now I am pretty in love with it. Not only can I update the world on my thoughts, I can also see what John Mayer (my man-crush), Sophia Bush (my Celebrity crush), and Neil Patrick Harris (my... Tell the Pants Story?) are doing and thinking. I digg..

-If you have Twitter follow me twitter.com/NathanCopier

-I am avidly watching American Idol and have some strong opinions about it and the people on it. So strong in fact, that I may update my opinions on the show weekly. Don't hate.

RBADDK (All I do is perform anymore..)

Yes I know I suck at updating my blog the last little bit. Don't hate.

-Phantom is basically sold out. But still come try and see it. It runs til April 18 and I am in the Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday cast. I do both the 4:00 PM and the 7:30 PM shows on Saturday. There are a few weekday matinees that I do as well. Ask the Box Office which cast is supposed to do the show if you have questions.

-The other show I am in opens up on the 26th of March and runs til June 6th. It is called "American Fork Idol" and it is at the Desert Star in Murray. It's super over the top (like all the shows there) but if you are a fan of American Idol you should enjoy it. My character's name is Bo Biceps and I am in the shows on Monday Wednesday and Friday- and occasionally the first show on Saturdays.


-Speaking of American Idol. I have a man-crush on Matt Giraud.

-And what about this guy?




Tell me he doesn't look eerily similar to this guy:



I hope he's gone ASAP bytheway. No more Michael Sarver please. And no more Lil' Rounds.

-All my ex-roommates all went on a cruise for spring break. WTF? Why did we never do that when I was there? What did we do for our spring breaks when I was in Logan? Oh yeah, went down to Zions Ponderosa and got snowed in and all made out with the same chick. That's right. I forgot for a second.

-I am going to go out on a limb and say that Marty Archibald is one of the coolest people I know. One of the oddest people I know? Yes. Super crazy awesome? Hell Yes.

-I am lightly addicted to puzzles... how lame is that? Super crazy lame. It's true. But it keeps me entertained during my 42 page break of the show.

-I am a really good complainer. Just sayin

-I recently was reamed out by a douchebag for telling people about how much of a douche he was. And then the douchebag fronted me on it (which I can respect) and in the process of trying to intimidate an apology out of me he proved how much of a douche he really was by lying to me about the situation. I'll take being an ass over a douche any day of the week.

-And now that the doucebag usage quota is filled for the last few months, I am done.

Cope out
