American Idol and Dancing with the Stars Results

I absolutely hate reality tv! I think it was the worst tv idea ever and every day it is on.. well.. let me just move on. What I do like is Reality Talent Competitions. People have been in love with them since the dawn of time I think! I remember Weekend at the Apollo and Star Search, which are two of the best shows ever to hit tv!
Now-a-days, it is harder and harder to find great shows that are unique, family friendly and inspirational! Two shows that break the mold are American Idol and Dancing with The Stars. Although thier claim to fame can sometimes be popularity instead of actual talent, when America gets it right, it is inspirational (still waiting for that with American Idol LOL)
I am really busy most days working on a million things at once that I don’t always get to watch tv right away, instead, I record them on my DVR. I tend to always be a day or two behind the big tv news, but reguardless I had to write about this weeks shows!
First I want to mention musical guests Ozomatli, who marched out onto the dance floor Carnival-style, was vibrant and fun! The professionals really did the song justice and what a perfect fit song for this weeks theme! I loved it and wanted to get up and dance while watching it! I am now looking for it on itunes because I love that song! I need to have it! I also wanted to mention James Blunt. He has such an amazing voice, but I didn’t know the song. I kinda wished he did Beautiful, but that’s ok, the professional dancers stole that moment right from under him. I was actually mad when they did close ups of James Blunt because I wanted to see world champions Eric Luna and Georgia Ambarian, dance not him! They were amazingly stunning! Also, we should mention the cute jr dancers.. I think the judges got it right when they picked Jaryd and Cara! Great Job!! Anyways, Priscilla was voted off. I am not so sure it was the correct choice, but at this point I am not overly upset.. it made since she was voted off when she did. I do have to say I was looking forward to seeing how far she could go! Priscilla was amazing especially for her age!! I think people forgot that she is how old she is.. I mean come on.. how many grandma’s can you see doing the splits and looking fabulous doing it!!
Moving on.. time to talk about American Idol! The guys definitely ruled Mariah Carrey night! In fact I wasn’t impressed by any of the girls. I think we will see an all girl bottom three.. at least if America goes off talent not popularity. The girls just fell short as we knew they would with Mariah Carrey songs! The songs are just way too big! Simon was correct when he said it was like listening to Karaoke night and turning around with a breath of fresh air with David Cook. It was definitely his night. I have been a huge David Cook fan since day one, I love rockers. I cringed when I heard what song he was going to sing, but I was so pleasantly surprised afterwards. For weeks now he has sounded like he could turn around and make a record. He has to be careful though. Around this time Daughtry was huge (Yes I cried when he got kicked off) and he still got kicked off. So he really needs to make sure people vote. Maybe it was good that Micheal Johns (boo) got kicked off during Idol Gives Back.. so that way we get to keep Cook around a bit longer! We shall see. My prediction.. well lets just say I am growing tired of Syesha Mercado and Kristy Lee Cook and have been for weeks. Lets go ahead and get rid of them finally!
