Week 6...

Hi All! What a week of shocks for me -- country singers in the bottom, Joshua Ledet, "one of the top two best 'Idols' of all time"...."one of the best singers in 50 years", skylar getting the boot, p-squared having a not so good week, p-squared having a girlfriend (what?!?), Steven Tyler having never heard Bleeding Love?, my wedding song making it on idol (your love keeps lifting me!) and my husband and I spending our last night in NYC and first night (back) as NJ residents.....wow did I forget how hectic it is too move!  But it's nice to be done with packing (though unpacking is scary too!) and to have working cable/internet.  Anyway, the show....
This week I agreed with the judges....Hollie did a fabulous job and is peaking at the right time....to be honest with you, I attribute a lot of her recent success to the judges advice....since she's been able to perform naturally and not think about every move she makes and word she sings, shes' been kicking butt!
Phillip -- he was ok....honestly, I just can't stop thinking how we all didn't know he had a girlfriend!  Speaking of girlfriends....last week I was shocked about the "Ryan's girlfriend" incident -- well, not the incident, just the fact that Ryan has a girlfriend....forgot to note that last week (i think)
Jessica -- you know what bothers me most about her? It's that they make her look so much older than she is....can she look like a 16 yr old for at least one week?  Even though she sang the Tina song well, like Jackson said, the performance didn't sit well with me either.  Her 2nd performance was much better...but still, I can't seem to hop on her bandwagon.
Joshua is truly something special -- not sure he's one of the best idols of all time or one of the best singers in 50 years, but he sure is something special....i am very curious to see what this guy will be doing in 10 years....what I will be telling my kids in 20 years :)  I mean, if JLo is right, and this kid is one of the best in 50 years, then we all should be talking about him for a while!  I just hope he doesn't get messed up with all the press....good thing is that he seems to have quite a solid head on his shoulders.....he is definitely one of the most modest and chill idols I"ve ever seen -- he has a very unique personality -- one that makes you wonder and simply like him more -- I guess you could kind of call him the dark horse of the competition -- now I can definitely see him making it to the top 2, but in the beginning, I thought my husband was crazy for thinking Josh would win it all.   Speaking of winning it all -- or, i should say, NOT winning it all -- I was so sad to see Skylar go.  I love that girls energy and stage presense.  Ryan said it best that "she's simply so entertaining to watch".  She's another one I can't wait to see what happens with.

That's that....talk next week!
