AI Recap (Top 8)

Danny Gokey: I really do love his style. Homeboy can sing. I do wish he would concentrate a little bit better on the the slower non yellie stuff. That's his weakness right now. I hope America doesn't forget about him

Kris Allen: Interesting choice with the fans all around him and stuff. Was not feeling the song at all this week Kind of bland. I have been liking him more as of late- but this was not a strong week.

Lil Rounds: She doesn't do a single cool unique thing with her songs. She just sings all Black girl like and I'm sorry that's not enough. The song seemed bigger than her this week. And I thank Jesus that the judges agree with me.

Anoop Desai: Dude can sing (no, I am not intentionally quoting Randy). Sounded nice this week. I don't think America loves him anymore though. The problem is he needs to always sing all slow and soulful. People just feel awkward inside when he is trying to be hard core.

Scott MacIntyre: Seriously? What the hell? Just say no to the guitar. You played maybe 4 bar chords on that thing. NO! No guitar for you. He is nice guy and likable. But NO! Not ok this week.

Allison Iraheta: I have said this to many people before and it's coming obvious to everyone: Allison will easily have the best career out of any of the girls on this season. She has the awesome unique rawness to her voice. As long as she doesn't ruin it she will be successful. The judges were right this week. She does need a light image change, but that will happen with age and time. Oh yeah, I dug her again this week.

Matt Giraud: I Always like him and I again thought he was quite good. I love the flipping up to the false, he does it so freaking well. Matt loves to add Runs and he can do it very well- but it was little excessive this week IMO. Still love him though.

Adam Lambert: I actually really like him when he stays in his more mellow tone. When he flips to his false instead of his screamy mix he is very nice to listen to. It's just unpleasant to my ears when he stays up in the screamy mix all the time. Good week once again.

My Bottom Three:

Anoop Desai
Lil Rounds
Scott MacIntyre


P.S. The super awesome song on the ATT commercial? Landon Pigg "Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop". just sayin.

RBADDK (He's just not that into you... cause he likes boys)

-Dear Super Attractive Girl,

Your model of a boyfriend is totally super gay. Like Super Hero Gay. He knows it. Everyone around knows it. It's time you knew it. Dump his uncomfortably pretty face and call me.

-I have made this announcement before, I am infatuated with the ability to Hide people on Facebook. That person that I only kind of know who updates there status every three hours and thinks they are funny but they are not? Hidden on my page. The "friend" who is bitter at life and their status makes you want to slit your wrists? HIdden. Did you know that this person is the most like this Twilight character? I didn't. Are you up to date on the relationship status of that couple that is always breaking up and getting back together? I'm not. Thank you new new Facebook.

-Baseball season is now open and I am elated about it. I am quite excited to watch my Braves play. Also, anyone up for some Bee's Games? Now that I am not committed to be somewhere 6 nights a week all summer long I am planning on going many times this summer.



-Also, Liking the Red Sox is trendy and stupid. Stop it.

-30 Rock is Genius. You NEED to start watching if you aren't already.

-Easter candy is by far the best candy. And it's not even close. Reese's Peanut Butter cups are wonderful all year round, but those Reese's Eggs? Immeasurably better. Jelly Beans used to suck. Not anymore. Thank you Starburst. Marshmellows are also good all season long but Easter Peeps make me salivate.

-If while reading my blog you said Reesies in your head, I will find you and I will punch you.



See the apostrophe? I do too. That means it belongs to some dude names Reese. It's possessive.

-I liked Megan Joy Corkery, but the second she "Cawed" I lost all desire to see her on TV anymore. WTF was that?

-Stop Hating on me for posting about AI. Just deal with it.

AI Recap (top 9)

I need to start out with a bit of a venting session. I CANNOT STAND PAULA ABDUL. Oh my hell I hate her. I used to enjoy her overall friendly attitude, but homegirl is so drugged out she cannot make any sense with out a pre-prepared speech. I am positive that she prepares her comments (has some producer write it for her) way before the contestant actually sings. If she doesn't have it prepared she just rambles nonsense. Homegirl is crazy.

I also firmly believe the producers influence the judges comments quite a bit a lot of the time.

Annnnnd Scene, onto the recap:

Anoop Desai: Ok. You aren't going to win the competition. It's official. I like you. I like that you are nerdy. But it's played itself out. Oh yeah, you sounded fine this week.

Megan Joy: You make me happy because of your quirkiness. I love your odd outfits (minus the boob-i-licious one), your cute little pointy ears and the uniqueness of your voice. But your limited range is about to show you the exit. Maybe not this week, but I think America is over it.

Danny Gokey: You were good. Blah Blah Blah. You are safe again. Blah Blah. PS. Thanks for not sounding like the Rascal Flats guy, I want to run him over with a lawn aerator.

Allison Iraheta: I actually didn't mind the outfit- but that hair was sick. Not the "crazy awesome" sick either, the "wake up in the middle of the night and feel like you are going to explode but not sure from which hole" sick. You sounded good again and should be safe. But honey, don't bring out the guitar for 15 seconds of the song. Either play it for real or leave it home.

Scott MacIntyre: Good song choice for him. He was tolerable this week- his 80's mullet was not, but he was. I would still be ok if they politely showed him the door- and by "showed him" I mean have his smily brother escort him to the door (too soon?).

Matt Giraud: The judges are crazy. He sounded great. The song is fairly unknown but I don't know why they laid into him. Please bless he is still around next week. Amen.

Lil Rounds: WHY IS SHE STILL ON THE SHOW??? No more, Please! At least her kids are cute.

Adam Lambert: Did I tell you the screamy, sing way too high way too often, creepy stare into your soul Adam would be back this week? Yes, Yes I did. I do love that you change the song up a lot every week. I don't love feeling like you stole my innocence after you sing though.

Kris Allen: sounded good again. As good as the Judges said? Not nearly, but still good. I am ok with him staying around a few more weeks.

My not so confident Bottom Three:

Anoop Desai
Megan Joy
Lil Rounds

(Am I leaving out Matt because of my man-crush on him? Why yes, yes I am.)

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.
