Tim Gets the Boot On Idol Gives Back

Comeback kid got voted off last week, leaving 6 of the Idol hopefuls.

I’m not a Tim Urban fan, but I did like some of the songs he sang during the competition. One of which is the Beatles’ song that he did-- All My Loving, Hallelujah, and Come On Get Higher-- where Ellen even gave him a big hug on stage. Thinking about his first live show, I believe that he really got better as Idol progressed. He is charming, laidback, boy-next-door type. He has a nice voice, good musician. However, I didn’t see him much of an American Idol. When you’re on the show, you have to be all out, it should be A performance, you give the people a show. Although, Tim showed us that he was a fun performer, I liked him better singing chill songs with his guitar. I actually like the Goo Goo Dolls song that he sang-- Better Days but everyone was really trying hard to step it up. He has been in the bottom several times, and he has been given bad critiques from the judges, but what I love about him is that he just takes it all in, not being too much defensive, and he just gives all of us his big, charming smile. I’m gonna miss that.

So there’s 6 left in the competition. The favorites are very obvious.

Crystal Bowersox
She’s obviously one of the judges’ favorites, singing in a “different league” among everyone else. I didn’t like her in the beginning ‘cause she seems a bit weird. But I’m starting to like her now. Especially when she said that Lee and Andrew Garcia are gonna live happily ever after and have Danny Gowkey babies. (Hahahaha, oo nga! Puwede!)

Lee DeWyze
He’s a favorite too, and my bet for Idol. He’s kind of a shy-type, which I love about him. He’s keeps on getting better, and his gaining more confidence. Plus, I lovelovelove his taste in songs! When I see him, I remember Danny Gowkey and David Cook and I don’t know why, probably the Ds.

Siobhan Magnus
My girlfriends are going ga-ga over this girl. She’s their girl crush, and I think if they could, they would ask her to be their girlfriend. Lol. She’s also weird, punk (love that she got a Mohawk, love the tattoos but not the nose ring, love the clothes, love that she‘s different). She actually started out really, really good, but I don’t know what happened. I like her voice but sometimes it’s kind of nasal. I don’t like the screaming, you can belt out without screaming. She loves picking those big, popular songs, and that’s just - pressure, because you will always be compared to the original. The judges are kind of disappointed. I really hope that she gets on track again.

Casey James
I didn’t like his performance this week but he’s really gotten better over the weeks. He’s such a good musician, and I like his voice. Bummed out that his in the bottom 3. He just has to step it up, let it all out.

Michael Lynch
Big Mike’s really got it on. Lots of people said that it was too early to give the save. But it was really a gooooood save. 3 people got voted off already after Mike was saved. He wasn’t even in the bottom for the last 2 weeks. What an ego boost, although he doesn’t need more of that. I like his voice too, but he comes off as mayabang. I don’t know if you have noticed, but every time he’s told that he’s safe, he crosses his fingers, closes his eyes, breathes out. I think he’s not mayabang naman, pero gano’n lang ‘yung dating niya. Funny ‘cause Simon commented about the song Hero (I love that song), he thought of Spiderman. I know it’s in the soundtrack, benta lang niya talaga sakin. I hope he stays longer.

Aaron Kelly
He’s 16? so young. He has a nice voice. I hate it when he is compared to David Archuleta. Yeah, they got on the show when they were 16? But he’s NO Archuleta (David‘s die-hard fans are probably in raged with the comparison). I find it funny when he sings, ‘cause he sways in this weird, awkward, sort of cute way. Hehehe. But I think he also needs to step it up, because he keeps on doing the same thing over and over again, and it’s boring. If he doesn’t, I think he’s next to gooo.

I love the Idol Gives Back show. I love the Black Eyed Peas. I lovelovelove Alicia Keys. Damn, what a perfomance!!! But I didn’t like the part wherein, George Lopez and Wanda Sykes were making fun of Simon. (I love the other jokes though) Poor Simon, give him a break. I’ve been watching Idol since Fantasia’s season, season 3? And he’s been REALLY nice this year. Must be the loooooove:)

Anyway, I’m just so excited for next week! We’ll see what happens.
