Re: American Idol 2008
... Anyway, is it just me, or this is perhaps the most talented group of AI contestants. Not only can these guys/gals sing really well, most of them are very very good looking.
Exactly what I felt!
That David Anchilada (sp?) is extremely good. I don't think he will win, but he is good enough to be in top-6, unless he does a major screw up. That Aussie dude has a really strong voice too. The Filipina lady won't go too far, IMO. ... People vote on the whole package, not just voice. This is not a radio show. I am pretty sure that face, body, personality, clothes, mannerism... everything is considered in voting.
I agree Faisal bhai, this Archuleda kid is just 17 I think, and he is very very strong. Not a single negative point against him so far, young, big talent, clean image, well mannered, good looking and now getting very popular, he's got the biggest star quality so far i think, but he's very vulnerable too. He might get overconfident anytime and mess up. Lack of experience and the glitz might hamper his performance. He does surely deserve a place in top 6. The Aussie, the young dad, all are cool. I dont like that other guy who looks like Bruce Lee's non-athletic version. I think he has that Sanjaya effect going on and he might stay on for not much as a singer. Lets see.
Among the girls I think Kady Malloy was the strongest voice so far, she sang Phil Collins brilliantly, but the judges werent too excited, maybe because she was too "safe" and unexperimenting as they call it. But her voice is very rich. And she's pretty good looking adds more. Another cool girl is Kristy Lee, but only for her looks, as a singer she might just go a few weeks I think. The rocker nurse is confusng, the girl who had lost her dad before the audition is pretty good.
