This week's American Idol Predictions

Okay. So I didn't get to watch American Idol this week. However, I am dedicated to making my predictions, so I ran http://youtube.com and checked out last night's performances.

David Cook did a great version of Billie Jean. He had some great vocals and I really liked the arrangement. David Archuleta sang a song that I have never heard. I wonder who is choosing his songs. The judges really liked Michael Johns performance, but I thought it was horrible.

I think that overall the night was just an average night by all of the performers.

However, I think it is the end of the road for Ramiele Malubay. She seems like a very nice person, but her performances have just not been that great. In fact, this week it sounded as if she was really having to push to get the notes out. It was like she was yelling.

So that is it for now. Tell me what you all think.

American Idol Top 12

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! David, say it isn't so. Last night was a train wreck for the contestant I consider the favorite, David Archuleta. He forgot the words, looked very nervous, and vocally did not sound that great at all. I have been a big fan of this kid, but last night I think he opened the door for a few people.

Chikezie came out last night and laid it down. He had a lot of energy and looked as if he was having the time of his life. I don't consider him a potential winner, but I think a lot of people took notice of him last night.

Brooke White and Carly Smithson gave some good performances, as did Michael Johns. My problem with Michael is that he seems so boring. David Cook showed that he has skills and Jason Castro did too. I think Jason Castro is someone to look out for. He impressed me last night, even though Simon did not give him raving reviews.

The people that I think are in trouble are David Hernandez and Kristy Lee Cook. I started off during the audition period a big Kristy fan, but lately she has slipped. So I am making the call that Kristy Lee Cook will be the one leaving American Idol.

What do you think?

This Week's American Idol Predictions

This week was filled with some pretty good songs. How can you beat "Hello" by Lionel Richie? The guys were a lot better than the girls. Here are my predictions for who is going home.

Top Row: David Hernandez & Kady Malloy
Bottom Row: Luke Menard & Ramiele Malubay



I want to go on record that I don't think Ramiele should be the one going home, but I just think she is not going to get enough votes.

American Idol Season 7 Top 20

So tonight there are more cuts. As far as I am concerned they should just declare David Archuleta the winner right now, and get ready for next season. David can just flat out sing. It doesn't hurt that he seems to have a very high likability factor.

Here are my predictions for who is going home tonight.

Top: Jason Yeager & Kady Malloy
Bottom: Amanda Overmeyer & Robbie Carrico




What does everyone else think?

Once Again, It's On!!!

Yes. It is that time of year. Once again American Idol is upon us, and it is time for me to make my weekly predictions, and comments. Season 7 has promised us that this year the talent is even greater and that we are in for a real treat, but I have to say after Tuesday night and Wednesday night I would have to disagree. The talent did not seem that great. I know there will be improvement and I look forward to it.

My early favorites are David Archuleta, Carly Smithson. I am also pulling for Asia'h Epperson because of what she has gone through lately wit the loss of her father.

Here are my predictions for who is going home tonight.

Top Row:Amy Davis & Luke Menard
Bottom Row:Chikezie & Joanne Borgella

Happy Valentine's Day

Drake Thomas Bastron

Our son was born today at 1:36 pm. His name is Drake Thomas Bastron. He weighs 6.5 pounds and is 21 inches long.

Brittany is doing great and was amazing once again. She is sleeping soundly as I write this. I am so blessed to have such an amazing wife.

We want to thank everyone who has been praying for us and this delivery. We are very excited, and incredibly humbled by the fact that God has once again entrusted us with another child. We ask for your prayers as we get ready for another great adventure with Drake. Our hearts desire is that Drake would come to know Jesus Christ in a real and intimate way, and would serve Christ all the days of his life.

We look forward to celebrating the new life with all of you.

Baby Update

Brittany and I are headed to the hospital here in the next hour for our scheduled C- section. The C-section is scheduled for 1 pm. Please keep us in your prayers. I will update you all soon.

Butter. That is all I can say. Butter! I have written about Colbie before. If you have not purchased the album yet, you need to run to the store or computer and purchase it right now. Enjoy this clip. It is just a little glimpse of her silkiness.

Cinderella Boy

Why can I watch this clip 100 times and still laugh everytime? When Bill Murray says he has about 350 yards left, and he is going to use a 5 iron I just lose it. It is too funny.

What are you thoughts on Caddyshack? What are some of your favorite movie clips of all times?

OJ

OJ was arrested? NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! It could not be. The glove did not fit. The glove did not fit.

OJ has a temper? What? Little did we know when he was filming those old commercials of him running through the airport, jumping over luggage that it was a flash in to the future of how he would be trying to run away from the law.

Have fun in jail OJ.

Details and My Daughter's Love For Me

Yesterday while I was at work my new Details magazine came in the mail. This month the cover has a picture of Brat Pitt. Brittany and London (my daughter who is 17 months old) went to the mailbox to get the mail for the day. As they looked at it, London pointed to the picture of Brad Pitt and said "Daddy".

Wow, does she love me or what? When I heard the story, I just had to give her a big hug and say thanks.

I have to go now and make an appointment for London to get her eyes checked.

Great 80's Television

I was thinking about the great TV shows from the 80's. What are some of your favorites?

I will throw out a few of mine to get the ball rolling.

1. Silver Spoons
2. Seinfeld-actually aired in 1989 so I guess it counts
3. Threes Company
4. Who's The Boss-I had a mad crush on Alyssa Milano
5. Knight Rider

There is a start. GO!!!
