Rayray's Recap of American Idol

Since I haven't blogged on American Idol in awhile, our Rayray is going to blog tonight in my place. So without further adieu, here's your American Idol recap, through the eyes of a 13 year old.

Hey people!

I am so honored to be my mama's first guest blogger!

Here we go...My first American Idol blog! I'm so excited! :D

Allison, I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing: Oh, Allison. Why in the earthly WORLD did you pick that song? That's David Cook's song! *Flashes back to last season* David brought it on that song last year. *flashes back to present* It was too low pitched. I wanted to see her hittin' those big notes tonight. I'm a big fan of Allison, but it just wasn't that great tonight.

Anoop Dawg, Everything I Do I Do For You: You should've taken Randy's advice. Rough it up! It sounded like he didn't even try to take his advice. I'm kinda sick of ballads, too. Is it just me, or has he done one like, three weeks in a row? (PajamaMama loved it. Period.)

Adam, Born To Be Wild: Ohhh, Adam. I'm so sorry, but you creep me out more every week...

I just flashed back to "The Ring of Fire" a few weeks ago! *screams in horrified terror*! *screams in horrified terror again*! Sorry, but you're just scary. Go back to no black fingernails and no eye makeup, then I'll attempt to recover.

Matt, Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman: So Matt, have you ever really loved a woman? I thought it was beautiful. He's flawless on the piano.

Danny, Endless Love: What do you have against harps, Simon? I liked the soft arrangement. I thought he did great. (PajamaMama - Loves Danny, moaned and rolled eyes at song choice.)

Why is Ryan pretending to be Randy, why is Cara growling, and why is Randy standing up?....The judges continue to confuse me.

Kris, Falling Slowly: I've never heard of that movie or the song, but I loved it. I could tell it was pitchy in spots, but it was beautiful. (PajamaMama's FAVE of the night.)

Lil, The Rose: As my dear mother put it, "The song from every bad beauty pageant." Lil, you can bring it when you pick the right song, but you just didn't bring it this time. And it really annoys PJmama and I when contestants talk back to the judges for no apparent reason. I have a bad feeling that we'll have to say bye-bye to Lil-Lil tomorrow...

I hope you enjoyed my American Idol recap!

Keep smilin'!
