Danny

Even though, i though Danny was the best contestant in this week,
My favorite contestant from this season so far is Allison.

I seriously can not believe that she is only 17 years old!I think she has one of the greatest rock voice in this season, and her performance is also really good!Everytime she sings, all the judges say 'You can sing anything'. I hope she can go as far as she can.

My favorite singers from the past season

David Archuleta

This time I am going to introduce my favorite contestant from the past season. My favorite contestant from the past is David Archuleta. He is exactly the same age as me, and I had watched him through the season 7. Although he did not win the competition, he was very popular in the show, and never had been the bottom 3 through the entire weeks of season 7. One of my favorite performance from his is when he sang "In This Moment" in the final. After the show, he released his first album "David Archuleta" including his first single "Crush". It hit the chart, and he is very famous in the world. I cannot believe he is same age as me and I truly respect him a lot.

Another my favorite singer from the past seasons is

Jennifer Hudsonhttp://www.ruggedelegantliving.com/a/002677.html

She was the contestant from season 3. Jennifer Hudson made it through to the Top 12 finalists, but she could not get enough votes to be the American Idol. She ended up being 7th, but i think she was doing a great job, and i believe that she has one of the strongest voice in this world today. As you might know that she was in the musical called " Dream Girls ". She won the Golden
Globe Award as best actress in a supporting role, also the Academy Award for best supporting actress. It shows that how much American Idol gives each contestant an opportunity after the show. One of my favorite performance from her is when she sang a son called "Weekend In New England". That was absolutely hot performance! She is really talented!

Season 8, Top 13 Finalists

Top 13!


This season is a little bit unusual compare to the past seasons. They are supposed to have Top 12 Finalists from the final, but this year one more contestant made through to the final. He is Anoop. I suppose the judges could not decide whether Matt or Anoop should be in the final. I truly think they made a right decision, because they are completely different types of singers. Matt is who sings mostly R&B and Soul music. On the contrary, Anoop is kind of singer who sings mostly Pop and Rock. That tells us the reason why they both made it through to the final.

So the question is who is the first contestant heading home? The first week of season 8 Final has begun. The title of the first week is "The songs from Michael Jackson". The top 13 finalists are Adam, Alexes, Allison, Anoop, Danny, Jasmine, Kris, Lil, Matt, Megan, Micheal, Jorge, and Scott. They worked very hard on this to make it through to the Top 12! After their performances, America had voted for the contestants. On the next day, the elimination has begun. The contestant who had a least votes this week was Jasmine (a picture below) which means she has to head home. She sang a song "I'll be there". She is one of the youngest contestant in this season. Even though the judges liked her performance, she had a least votes. This is the interesting point about this show. Now she goes home and get back into her normal life. My favorite contestant from this week is Michael. He sang "You are not alone" but Michel Jackson. That was great! On of the judge, Simon often says that Michael is not good enough to be the next American Idol, but i think he is very talented! I am looking forward to watching his performance next week. Now each week one contestant has to go home. Who will be the next to head home...?

The First Blog

My very first blog is to introduce what the American Idol is. First of all, American Idol is known as one of the biggest viewed TV show in the United States of America. It has been broad casted for 8 years. This show is a competition to find a new singer which is called the idol. One interesting point about this show is that anyone can try out for the American Idol. Even if you are not good at singing, you might be on the TV if you are funny. Whether you can be the next American idol or not is depending on the judges. The judges are Simon, Randy, Paula and this year includes Kara, but they are not the only ones who judge. The other judges are the American viewers. The first try out holds in all over the places in America such as LA, NY, Chicago. The second try out holds in Hollywood, then only 24 of them can make it through to the third try out(This year 36 of them). After the second try out, the judges are American viewers. You can give a phone call to vote for a contestant who you love or hope to be the next American idol. The contestants who can make it through for the final round are only 12. At final round, each week one contestant who has least votes goes home. The winner of the American Idol receives a million dollar, and release a CD. This is how this popular show American Idol goes on each season.

Season 1 was on the year of 2002. The first winner of the American Idol is Kelly Clarkson. She was only 20 years old when she tried out for American Idol. She absolutely blow the judges away. I think she is one of the best singer I have ever seen on the entire seasons of American Idol. Her voice is very strong, but it also shows sensitive sides depending on what kind of songs she sings. I believe her best performance from Season 1 is when she sang a song called 'You are all I need to get back'. After she became the first American Idol,she has been popular in all over the world. Her famous songs are 'Walk Away', 'Since you've been gone', 'Because of You'. There are so many songs that are very popular. According to Sony Music, she has sold over 20 million albums world wide. She has won two Grammy awards too. Her newest album called " All I Ever Wanted" is now on sale. Her latest single " My Life Would Suck Without You" is now becoming popular around the world. you can listen to that song even in some stores in Japan or on the TV show too. The first American Idol, Kelly Clarkson is one of the best singer ever and she has one of the strongest voice in the world. 'http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1500034/20050412/story.jhtml'
