The Grisly Return of Julia DeMato

[vovat]

I think the right person was kicked off American Idol this week. Barring a spectacular performance next week, I think JPL should be sent back to selling pens next Wednesday. After him, maybe La Toya. As I've said before, she's a good singer, but she's totally non-memorable. She DID do considerably better than John Stevens this week, but I'm not sure I'm ready to see John go just yet. I think his problem might be a fairly narrow taste in music. Does he really like much BEYOND the Rat Pack? "Crocodile Rock" was a bad choice for him, but I'm half convinced that he chose it because it was the only Elton John song he knew. I don't think he'll be able to last that much longer, but he could probably get some kind of record deal eventually. Hey, if Julia DeMato can, then ANYONE can. Speaking of which, isn't it kind of odd that five of the Season 2 finalists apparently have record deals, while Tamyra Gray is only the third from Season 1 to release anything? Yes, the second group was considerably better than the first, but, come on, Julia DeMato?

Anyway, I'm hoping for the Top Three this season to be George, Jennifer, and Fantasia. I haven't totally decided on the order yet, though.

i haven't been very impressed by this year's group, so i haven't paid much attention.. i don't know them all by name but it seems like the black contestants all can sang and everyone else needs to pack up and go home. {g} i feel bad for john stevens though, he's very unique and semi-local... but man, he just needs a lot of practice. i also feel bad for the pencil salesman {g} for his embarrassing dancing, oh man..

I did like Jon Peter Lewis (the pen salesman) at first. He had some kind of dork appeal or something. He's really not a very good singer (or dancer), though. His voice has a goofy quality to it, and not goofy in a good way.
