Idol Predictions: Top 8 - Songs From Movies

This week the Top 8 will perform songs from movies, and apparently on the result show Kelly Clarkson and Rihanna will perform. Nigel tweeted that Will.i.am helped the contestants chooe their songs. After the shocking elimination of Pia last week, I think all the contestants will be giving it their all since it doesn't matter if you are a front runner or not, you could go home! Here is my predictions for this week, which I will probably be wrong since the list that they choose from will probably be very long.

Paul McDonald: He better be in the bottom 3 this week, he doesn't deserve to be here any more! He will probably do a song like "Footloose" and act like a maniac and ruin the perfectly good song. He may also do "Mrs. Robinson" from "The Graduate", I could hear him singing either of those songs, but he may slow it down this week and do a song such as "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" by Bryan Adams. But I hope he doesn't do that song!!

Lauren Alaina: She has been my fave since the beginning, but she really needs to have her "moment" this week, because i would really hate to see her go home! I would love to see her sing “I Will Always Love You” from “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” not “The Bodyguard.” She could really do any Dolly Parton song, even "9 to 5" or "Here You Come Again". She may surprise us a do a song like "What A Feeling" from "Flash Dance". There is so many possible song choices that I could hear her sing this week! She could also sing "Angel" from "City of Angels;" "How Do I Live" from "Con Air". She may do a more modern song like Miley Cyrus' "When I Look At You" from "The Last Song" or Faith Hills' "There You'll Be" from Pearl Harbor.

Stefano Langone: I hate him, I honestly do. He doesn't deserve to be here either. On that note, he will try and pull off another ballad like "Purple Rain"; "Stand By Me",  "Kiss From A Rose". I don't want him to sing any more, I may just mute the tv when he is on...He may also ruin "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman".

Haley Reinhart: She has been getting better every week. I am anxious to see what song she chooses this week. I think she would do really good on "Son Of A Preacher Man" or "At Last" from Etta James. Or even a song like "Take My Breath Away" from "Top Gun". Whatever song she chooses, Im sure it will be good!

Scotty McCreery: Im a big fan of his but I have no idea what he could sing. He may do another Elvis song like "Jail House Rock" but I dont think he would do back to back Elvis songs. Maybe he will do a song from the movie  "Urban Cowboy" like "Lookin' For Love" or "Devil Went Down to Georgia". How cool would that be?

Casey Abrams: Apparently he tweeted about doing something jazzy this week, maybe he will do "Summer Wind" from the movie "For Love Of The Game", or even jazz up a song like "Iris" or "Im Alright" from "Caddyshack". I dont care what he does really, I dont like him either lol.

James Durbin: I dont think he would do a slow song 2 weeks in a row. I would really like to hear him sing "Old Time Rock & Roll" from Risky Business, "Live And Let Die" from James Bond, or "Bohemian Rhapsody". Im sure he will put on quite a show!

Jacob Lusk: He can go home as well, I just cant stand the way he sings! He can go back to church!! I wouldnt be surprised if he sanf "Over The Rainbow" from The Wizard Of Oz or "Ease On Down The Road" from The Wiz. He is uber cheesy so he could pull that off.

Music Challenge Day 08

Day 08 of the music challenge is a song that you know all the words to. I chose "I Believe" by Nikki Yanofsky, it was aired during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. The song is so amazing, I cant help but know all the words to it. I love inspirational Olympic music like this!

Music Challenge Day 07

So Day 07 of the Music Challenge is A Song That Reminds You Of A Certain Event. The song I chose was "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts, it was my high school graduation song. Whenever I hear it, it brings me right back to 2007, back when me and my friends were still super close, back when I was still happy and not really worried about money or anything. I miss the good ol' days!

European Championships- Women All Around Finals

The All Around Finals are about to get started in Berlin, Germany. The title is clearly Mustafina's to lose, for all the quick hits here is the link, Blythe over at GymExaminer is doing an amazing job!

UPDATE: Apparently Aliya Mustafina landed lock legged on her vault, and was injured! She was wheeled of the arena ina wheel chair. I hope she is alright, this is such a surprise. The competition will be very good now!

New Update: Mustafina tore her meniscus according to several reports. Kkay now IG is reporting that she tore her ACL and will miss the 2011 Worlds.

WTF America!!! Really!?!?!?

So I am sure everyone knows by now about American Idol...The amazing Pia Toscano went home! Jacob Lusk and Stefano Langone was also in the bottom 3. I was shocked! Ryan started the show saying that it was going to be another shocking elimination but I was really hoping it was a Jacob going home shock not a freakin' Pia going home shock!!! Seriously if I was Stefano, Paul, Jacob, or Casey I would of gladly given up my spot for Pia! Speaking of Casey, I bet the judges are kicking themselves in the ass for saving him a few weeks back. I wouldn't be surprised if Jennifer doesn't even come back to Idol next week. The judges were so pissed!! Next week if another girl goes home, especially Lauren. I will not watch it for the rest of the season! America is so dumb, what is stopping you from voting now that we can online?!?!?! I couldn't really say anything last season because I couldn't vote, but I make sure I use all 50 of my votes each week for my favorites!! Including Pia!!! This is the biggest upset in American Idol history, even bigger than Chris Daughtry going home, or Jennifer Hudson, or Tamyra Gray!! I don't think any of those contestants could actually win the title, but Pia could!! She was flawless every single week!!! If another friggin guy wins American Idol, I am so done with this show!!! I wonder what Simon Cowell thinks?? I don't think he would of saved Casey, he was smart and would have known that it was WAY to early to use the save! The saddest part of last nights episode was when Ryan made her sing, and she sang "I'll Stand By You" by The Pretenders, kinda ironic since her supposed fans didn't really stand by her...I'm so sorry Pia, you will have a very successful career I just know it!! Some idol contestants that don't win do better than the winner, I mean you are probably more famous than Taylor Hicks is right now. Don't worry sweetheart, you will be just fine!!! Feel free to send her some words of wisdom to her Twitter account @PToscanoAI10. Some celebrities are already sending out they're support:

@Alyssa_Milano Alyssa Milano

@PToscanoAI10 Keep your head up, beauty girl. You're an awesome talent.

This did not just happen!!! How??? I'm going to do something radical. I love you Pia!

 

@minkakelly Minka Kelly

Will someone please explain to me HOW in the WORLD @PToscanoAI10 (Pia) has been voted off American Idol?! #baffled!!

 

Check out even more celebs who think this is crazy http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1661584/pia-toscano-american-idol-elimination.jhtml?xrs=share_twitter

 

Dear Pia I love you, don't let this little speed bump get in the way of your awesomeness, don't be discouraged because it does show that you have a lot of support!

 

If the last 2 girls get sent home before a guy Im done, I am not going to watch a sausage fest again. Stupid teenage girls need to STOP voting for cute guys who CAN'T sing!!!! As much as I love Scotty, Im probably going to stop voting for him, all my votes are going to Lauren Alaina, she is the only hope for the girls this season!!! I like Haley, but I just don't see her winning the title!! Okay now my rant is officially over!

30 Days of Music Challenge

So i forgot about the 30 Day Music Challenge yesterday, so I will have 2 posts today!

Day 05- A Song That Reminds You Of Someone: "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" by The Darkness. It reminds of my best friend Mandy, we used to drive around senior year of high school just blasting this song!

Day 06- A Song That Reminds You Of Somewhere: "Epic" by Faith No More. It reminds me of college when I used to play rock band with my room mate Shannon!

American Idol - Top 9 Results

The Top 9 American Idol contestants performed songs from Inductees of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last night. All an all it was a good night. Everyone did a good job according to the judges, there were still a few that I didnt like, but thats usual! Gwen Stefani dressed the contestants, and Will.i.am help mentor them.

Jacob Lusk: "Man In The Mirror" by Michael Jackson
He was originally going to sing "Lets Get It On" by Al Green, but changed his mind because he didn't want to sing a song about having sex. Yet, ironically he was pelvic thrusting like no one's business through out the entire performance. He is not one of my favorites, he does the same type of song week after week. He did however get to sing with the original writer of "Man In The Mirror", which must of been so cool! I predict that he may be in the bottom 3 this week.

Haley Reinhart: "Piece Of My Heart" by Janis Joplin
I have been uber impressed with her lately, she was never one of my favorites, but last night she killed it!!! It was soooo good, she was definitely in her element. She picked the perfect song for her voice, everyone pretty much predicted that she would/ should sing that song. I think she will definitely make it through to next week, and if she doesn't, there is something wrong with the world!

Casey Abrams: "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Casey, like Jacob also changed his song choice. He was originally going to sing a Sting song, thank goodness he didn't, CCR is so much better!! I'm not a big fan of his, but he sang a CCR song and he brought out the upright bass, which is pretty cool. I just don't like his awkward growling or the faces he makes when singing. He is just creepy. The judges loved it of course, he will most likely be safe.

Lauren Alaina: "Natural Woman" by Aretha Franklin
My fave contestant did a good job with what the judges said was the hardest song of the night. I was kinda surprised she picked this song, but I thought she did pretty good, she hit some killer notes in that song! She could of performed a little bit more with that song, but other than that, I think and HOPE she makes it to next week. I don't think a girl deserves to go home today!

James Durbin: "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by George Harrison
James took a risk doing a ballad tonight, but it paid off for him. He is good, but he is not my cup of tea. He reminds me to much of Adam Lambert, and I hated him! Everyone was surprised that he did a ballad on Rock night, but I predicted that he was probably going to change it up a bit. The song was clearly very emotional for him, he will definitely be safe.

Scotty McCreery: "That's Alright Mama" by Elvis
My man Scotty did an Elvis song. Surprise surprise! I thought he would of done a ballad, but he did a very upbeat song. He has gotten so comfortable on that stage and it shows more every week. For being so young, it is crazy how he works the audience and the camera, he is a pro! He also got attacked by girls from the audience who ran up at the end to hug him. I thought it was staged, but I guess it wasn't! I don't think he minded at all!! He will be safe, I predict he will be in the top 2!

Pia Toscano: "River Deep, Mountain High" by Tina Turner
Finally we get to see the rock side of Pia. She stepped away from her ballads and broke out an amazing, upbeat performance. We have been waiting since last week to hear her sing this song, and she didn't disappoint!! The only thing she needs to work on is the performance. The song is so upbeat and she just kinda walked around the stage slowly, other than that the vocal was amazing! She shouldn't worry about going home tonight.

Stefano Langone: "When A Man Loves A Woman"
Dear Stefano, please go home this week. I am so sick of him singing this kind of song, that I could puke. He was very off key, I don't know why the judges like him. He SHOULD be in the bottom 3 this week.

Paul McDonald: "Fulsome Prison Blues" by Johnny Cash
Paul is a maniac. He ruined a perfectly good Johnny Cash song. I couldn't even understand what he was saying. YET! The judges loved it. EWW. He better be in the bottom 3 this week, I am so done with him ruining songs!
Prediction: Bottom 3 will be Jacob, Paul, & Stefano. With either Paul or Stefano going home. This better be right because if Lauren goes home, i am done with Idol!
