American Idol Week 1 Results Show Aftermath

Well, I was darn close AND I had all of the Top 3 in my list of guys, but I really thought Michael Sarver had too much of a shaky start and would make it in via the wild card week.

My wife did manage to get all 3 correct, but since she doesn’t have a blog and doesn’t write here… well… I guess that’s just heresay.

For those still living in a cave, the Top 3 from Group 1 are: Danny Gokey, Alexis Grace, and Michael Sarver.

At least Tatiana got axed, and was most likely 5th place. I was so nervous when it was down to Danny and Tatiana, but my wife pointed out that, based on the other placements, one of them was #1 and one was #5 because they announced that Anoop was just behind Sarver in the votes as #4. Now my wife is pulling for Nick Mitchell to go. I’m still on the fence with him. Let’s see how he sings first.

Season 8 Show 1 Post-show Predictions

What a surprise about how the show format is going to be to get to the Top 12 this year! For those who live in a cave or don’t give a darn (but you wouldn’t still be reading, would you?), for the next 3 weeks, they are going to take the top male, top female, and the next top vote-getter from each of the 3 groups. That makes 9, and then there will be a wildcard show, so this is do or die with one more chance for the “losers” of these 3 rounds.

Back to last night, there were just a few too many good performances to make it clear-cut with the exception of the goosebumps I got with Danny Gokey’s perfect performance. Regardless of those odds, I’m still going to stick my neck out every week and say what’s on my mind. It is what I do best, so here goes.

Top Men: Danny Gokey, Brent Keith, Michael Sarver, Anoop Desai

Top Women: Hmmmm. Alexis Grace. Tatiana Del Toro… ouch, I hate to say that.

My official 3 picks for the night: Danny Gokey, Alexis Grace, and Brent Keith.

Season 8 Show 1 Pre-show Predictions

It’s t-minus 3.2 hours until showtime and here are my predictions for tonight’s show:

Top 3: Danny Gokey, Anoop Desai, and Stevie Wright

Someone will forget their words tonight.

Tatiana Del Toro will:

  1. Be reduced to tears.
  2. Continue to sing at some point.
  3. Be the worst singer of the night.

American Idol Season 8 – Group 1 – Show 1

Hollywood Hell Week is over and we witnessed an anguishing 2 hour final paring down of the final 36 that got some definitive losers in rather than more capable singers and personalities. I have a few targets right off the bat, but none more passionately than getting Tatiana Del Toro booted ASAP. She’s already gotten on my nerves more than Brooke did last season.

My faves for Group 1: Danny Gokey, Anoop Desai, and Stevie Wright. The guys have way more skill this year than the girls, so you’re going to see a lot more positive votes from me for the guys for Season 8.

Here is a quick run-down of Group 1 for Tuesday’s show:

Alexis Grace – 20
Anne Marie Boskovich -22
Anoop Desai – 21
Brent Keith – 28
Casey Carlson – 20
Danny Gokey – 28
Jackie Tohn – 27
Matt Breitzke – 27
Ricky Braddy – 25
Stephen Fowler – 26
Stevie Wright – 16
Tatiana Nicole Del Toro – 24
