My American Idol 2009

As a loyal American Idol viewer I make my pick every year of who I want to win. I also do my top 5 .. this is the list of who I think will win (very rarely is the person I want to win the person I think will win –SIGH–) Ok so on to my fav Idol.

Matt Giraud-  there is something about this kid and I don’t know what it is. More then likely it is that gravely blues thing going on with his voice. I was shocked to see him in the bottom 3 a few weeks back, and have decided that was Idol playing with the numbers again because they wanted to keep Crazy Megan. Yes I have a very conspiracy theory view of Idol. I think they send the people home who are voted off, but I also think sometimes they play with the bottom 3 to try to get results they want.

I will say, that even though they are touting this group as the best ever (like every year) I am not seeing it. I think that seasons 4,5, and 6 were definitely the hay day. Last year was a snore! This year isn’t turning out much better. I watch every week and find myself more and more talking through the performances and ignoring what is going on. I think it is a multitude of reasons, but the main one for me in the new stage.. HATE IT! I liked the closeness of the other set. I liked being able to actually SEE the band.

Confessions Of A Reality TV Junkie

Hi my name is Jacqui and I am a reality TV junkie. HAH! Ok so maybe it’s not that bad but it feels that way. My extreme favorites are American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance. On the other side I have been known to watch Big Brother, Hogan Knows Best, The Biggest Loser, Extreme Makeover, Kathy Griffin My Life On The D List, Fear Factor, and a few others that don’t deserve mention.

So, right now my biggie is So You Think You Can Dance. I am religious about it; tune in every Wednesday and Thursday. I have to say that although I am really enjoying this season, I loved last season SO much more. I enjoy this show a lot more then American Idol for a lot of reasons but here is my top 5.
