She wasn&#8217;t one of my favorites but there are far worse than her still hanging on.<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t been writing my AI writeups lately, even though I&#8217;ve been watching closely.   I have other things going on and basically just couldn&#8217;t be arsed, there are a few things I&#8217;ve noticed though, that I reminded myself to be sure to write whenever I got around to it.<\/p>\n<p>Has anyone else noticed Paula&#8217;s hands and what a weird clapper she is? (and I don&#8217;t mean clapper in the way those Irish boys say it, even though there would probably be validity to THAT argument as well, I mean actual smacking of hands)  She looks like a special needs patient or something.   She spreads her fingers really wide and pulls them back like she&#8217;s afraid that if the fingers on opposite hands touch each other, she&#8217;ll explode.   So she ends up looking like a mongo or a walrus .. *CLAP CLAP CLAP*   Sometimes I just want to throw her a fish!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.idolonfox.com\/contestants\/constantine_maroulis\/\">Constantine<\/a> has been surprising the last few weeks.   He was in my initial prediction for the first three voted off, in which I only got one out of three right.  I actually prefer him singing songs that aren&#8217;t too &#8220;Rock&#8221; because he seems to do better and has a better voice than I imagined.   It annoys me how he keeps doing this dramatic stare into the camera quickly followed by a &#8220;Ain&#8217;t I Cute?!&#8221; little nose twitch. He needs to cut that out, he&#8217;s done it too many times for it to be cute anymore. Now it&#8217;s just repetative.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.idolonfox.com\/contestants\/scott_savol\/\">Scott<\/a> is still as creepy as HELL!!  Every time he sings and holds out his hand with those little sausage fingers I want to vomit.  I can&#8217;t help it.  I mean I&#8217;m a chubby chick so it&#8217;s not a fat thing, he just is a revolting looking man who has the personality of a wet sponge.  Yech..  I think what&#8217;s even worse is that he&#8217;s completely oblivious to it, he think she&#8217;s DA BOMB! Just like Randy tells him .. or used to.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.idolonfox.com\/contestants\/nadia_turner\/\">Nadia<\/a>, who was originally one of my favorites has been bugging me too lately.  I can&#8217;t watch her sing without wincing, which is a shame because she&#8217;s a good singer and has great stage presence..  It&#8217;s the way she curls her lips up when she sings.   It&#8217;s like along with each note there is some sort of secret bet going on that she can&#8217;t make her top lip touch her nose.  It&#8217;s exaggerated and distracting from the rest of the performance she&#8217;s giving..   She&#8217;s like a black, female, Mick Jagger wannabe&#8230; enough with the lips already!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.idolonfox.com\/contestants\/anwar_robinson\/\">Anwar<\/a>, another one of my favorites, is also turning out to be sort of MEH.  When he was new he was amazing, spectacular, out of sight!! Now he&#8217;s .. Anwar.   It never changes, he doesn&#8217;t really mix it up or really take any chances.  Sure, he&#8217;s got the big voice, the great smile.. but where is that something that makes you go &#8220;ooooooh&#8221;.    It&#8217;s as if he&#8217;s asexual or something.  He&#8217;s also missing the whole black boy groove gene.  When he moves on stage it&#8217;s quite rigid and forced, he doesn&#8217;t have that natural move like Nikko had (am I the only one who found something about Nikko kinda sexy?)  He needs to do something amazing soon.  He&#8217;s seen his first visit to the bottom three, it will either make him or break him.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.idolonfox.com\/contestants\/carrie_underwood\/\">Carrie<\/a> is kickin ass and taking names!!! Love this girl!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.idolonfox.com\/contestants\/bo_bice\/\">Bo<\/a> is consistantly alright.  He&#8217;s still hot as hell but his performances haven&#8217;t left me practically humping my laptop as some of his previous performances did (like Spinning Wheel and Drift Away).  None since Spinning Wheel have really proven to be clip worthy..  I&#8217;m hoping to see the Bo we love back soon.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.idolonfox.com\/contestants\/anthony_fedorov\/\">Anthony<\/a>, oh where to start about Anthony.   When we first saw him in the trials he went on about his operation and how he never thought he&#8217;d even be able to speak.   He really is a miracle boy.. because it&#8217;s a FUCKING MIRACLE that he&#8217;s still in this competition! HATE HIM.. HATE HATE HATE!!  GodEffinDammit America, vote this bonehead off .. I&#8217;m begging you!!!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.idolonfox.com\/contestants\/vonzell_solomon\/\">Vonzell<\/a> is forgetable.  She has a good voice but is so damn ordinary .. I&#8217;ll tell you how ordinary and forgetable she is.  I had to edit this blog because I realized I forgot to mention her at all.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m putting my money on Carrie to win&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I challenge anyone who disagrees with me to watch this season of American Idol.
