" May the force be with Idol Gives Back "
***** On Idol Gives Back
Thumbs up! Not only the show was great- filled with well-known artists, but it's for a noble cause- to help the people in need. Throughout the show, i was touched by the plight of people living in, or below, the poverty level in America and Afrika. Plus, the HIV and malaria pandemic brought some artists to tears. I came to realise that there are many out there who really need aids to feed the hunger, shelter and proper place to stay in. Forest Whitaker came close to tears when he saw how the children have to sleep- only using a small piece of mattress to fit all three of them, and the condition of the house wasn't that comforting either. It was really an eye opener to those who do not appreciate whatever they are having now- proper shelter, food and water, family and friends and the comfort in their life that many out there are really in need of desperate help.
Minus the emotional factor, the show went on for 2 and a half hours with songs by Carrie Underwood, Fergie, the Top 8 and many others as well. The opening of the show was fantastic, including the dances!
Another group performance by the top 8, Seasons Of Love.
The night closes with another stellar group performance, and i really liked the effect of the whole performance.
***** On the Result Show
Did the Americans get it right this time? Personally, not really- but there is nothing i can do with it, i'm not even eligible to vote. Shocking and full of surprises, are what Ryan had said earlier part of the show. And it was definitely shocking to me, no doubt! I actually thought that there would be a non-elimination round like they did it last year. Unfortunately, my favourite, Micheal Johns received the lowest number of votes and was the next person facing the cut. To me, i predicted he will go far, at least further than this! He was the contestant to beat, and the contestant to watch. My idol days will not the be same without him- he makes the show more enjoyable to watch plus he has the wow-factor to pull me to watch the show more and more! Face reality, but i think he'll come up with an album soon, and i'm eager to hear from him.
His performance during the 'inspirational' week. He sang it well and i liked it a lot. But not so appealing to the viewers who can vote i think.
wc08, will try watching American Idol 7 without the presence of Micheal Johns next week, and hopefully, i'll have the mood to watch it!
