Brooke White. It’s another performance that you would certainly want to listen to. Except for some glitches, Brooke did pretty well. I actually think it was a very courageous act to cut it after forgetting the lyrics. Not a breath-taking performance, but it was okay.

David Cook. Not the expected shocker we see of him week by week, but it feels good that he can still sing songs, normal songs without rearranging. Nice, but a little boring for me.

Jason Castro. Should have been eliminated. No sense of variation. Limited songs that he can sing. Boring. It feels like he’s having difficulty singing the song.

Carly Smithson. The second best performance of the night. It was hot. Totally undeserving to go. It was a really wise song choice and a really soothing performance.

Syesha Mercado. It’s the first performance that I recognized she excelled this week. . I think she’s doing well week per week, that’s why she has a pretty good chance to be in the Final 2. I think she’ll get a Final 3 even if she doesn’t have a huge fan base. One of the most enjoyable and best performances of the night.

David Archuleta. It was fine, but I still think he’s nasal and boring. Along ‘Angels’, this is one of his better performances.

My Ranking for this Week: Syesha / Carly / David Cook / Archuleta / Brooke / Jason

Brooke White. Hero
It was really nice! Oh my. I really liked it. I actually had goosebumps while listening to it. She really sang it with all her heart. Though I felt like its too calm, I think it was a really feel-good performance. I like her rendition especially with that kind of voice and those slight changes that she added to the song. Though I think there are slight tone problems in the end, it was a really nice performance. Very original.

Carly Smithson. Without You
I liked her performance since it was very controlled. She hit the right notes, but there’s something with that voice that I really don’t wanna hear, something strange. I feel like she’s a good Evanescence-type-of-song singer but not, something so pop or something else. She has a powerful voice but has this annoying tone in it. I like her performance as well.

Syesha Mercado. Vanishing
I was not familiar with the song, but this girl is great. Darkhorse to win this competition right now, since she’s not the popular one but she’s the talented one. I think she has what it takes to be the next American Idol but she lacks star quality and connection with the audience.

Jason Castro. I Dont Wanna Cry
Jason has a different and unique thing on him that lets him stay week per week. He’s actually getting better and better. He’s actually one of those who I am wanting to stay longer still. But I don’t know, for me, he’s so static and he has no sense of variation with his style of music. He doesn’t show any improvement in his singing. What I dislike about him is that he’s limited to just a number of songs. He has this nice refreshing voice but not an Idol material for me.

David Cook. Always Be My Baby
This guy will be the seventh American Idol. This one can turn renditions into surefire hits. Not to mention, his extraordinary voice and consistency, I really think he’s the only man fit for the title this season.

This guy can sell millions of records in a week. He’s amazing and he’s the next American Idol.

David Archuleta. When You Believe
He sang a song I liked before. I don’t like it na. Haha. I really think he’s overhyped and not really talented. So much America for voting him still.

Kristy Lee Cook. Forever
This girl continues to improve each week. Too bad she’s not really the best and that’s why she has to go. She’s only fit for Country Music, if you’d ask me. She really sounds so as Simon says, like a karaoke.

My Rankings:
1. David Cook
2. Syesha Mercado
3. Brooke White
4. Carly Smithson
5. David Archuleta
6. Jason Castro
7. Kristy Lee Cook

A lot of things are going in and out of my mind right now. I don’t know, I think I am quite stressed, depressed and opressed all at the same time. The worst thing about being all these at the same time is not knowing the reason why I do feel this way.

Actually, I do feel stressed because of the enrollment process, which takes so long to get me through it. But I don’t know, something’s telling me its not this that I am pretty much stressed about. I still feel physically strong (even if I have a lot of luggages underneath my flabby epithelials). I can still get hyperactive and everything; but at the end of the day, I still feel stressed. I don’t get it.

I am quite depressed of certain happenings recently. All the awkwardness. All the untimely things happening. It feels like I’m getting a lot weaker emotionally. Before, I don’t often get too attached with things or people. But now, I feel so weak; perhaps, spent out. I feel like I’m emotionally tired of feeling the same emotions. I feel lonely. Scratch that, I feel so alone.

I feel pity for myself. I have friends coming in and out of my social network, but I push them away. I feel so sad, because I feel like no one has really fought for me, at any extent. I feel so unhappy, that after all I do for everyone, I still end up on the losing side. I still end up as a sore loser, who has been taken advantage of. I still end up being the guy who’d rather be a friend than more than that. I still end up being the bad guy. I can’t bear any more depression.

Financial problems makes me think twice of me studying in UP. Add to that, both my parents are sooo old, ill and alone in Olongapo. If only there’s a 5-minute jeepney ride from UP to Olongapo, I won’t feel worried. The only thing I can do is pray for their safety and study really hard.

I am a very talkative person. I love to share stories and experiences; this makes me wonder. Why do I feel so opressed? Why do I feel so outspoken? In debates or mere discussions, I always feel like I can’t defend myself. I always feel like someone’s arguments gets the best of me. Though I have really strong points, people tend to listen to the other person I’m discussing something with. I feel so alone, I don’t have anyone willing to back me up.

I am actually kinder than before. The one who was once competitive and tough might have become weak and fragile.

I am not ready yet, to sacrifice every ounce of happiness left in me.
I feel alone because of a certain something, which I can only keep to myself.
And pretend. I don’t see anything.
I can only say this things on my head.
Because no one would want to know.
And believe. I don’t feel anything.
Heartless. I can’t cry.
I have to be happy, for someone.
Hide your emotions. You need not cry.
You can’t be weak in front of this people.
They won’t understand, your image is of a clown.
Funny. Unexpectedly, you’re not having fun.
The show must go on. You have to smile.
Even if you’re heart’s falling into pieces.
And only one can make it all well again.
But who?
I know who, but I want it to come voluntarily.
I guess I’ll never be whole again.
Sadly.

I don’t know if there’s gonna be eliminations tomorrow. But my bottom three includes, Carly, Kristy Lee and Brooke, performance-wise.
Looks like the girls are in danger. Jason Castro redeemed himself; the past couple of weeks proved to be very challenging for him.
I still can’t get it why Archuleta’s getting all the praises. Don’t like him to win. He’s not the one with the wow power.
David Cook, who has been consistent since ever, kinda failed me tonight. Not much much. Maybe a wrong song choice.
The best performance, I believe was given by Jason Castro and Michael Johns.

I agree that Carly’s did sound like a song of anger rather than of inspiration, and she might really get into trouble because of that.
Syesha has a pretty nice performance. Only when I hear the song she sang, I relate it to Fantasia Barrino, who sang it uber-emotionally appealing, and that’s why such attraction and attachment has impacted her audience; which was her winning piece and won Idol over Diana DeGarmo with a single song fitting her style. Syesha sang it. Sang it well. But, I don’t feel any connection or chill. It feels like she sings it, just for the pleasure of singing it.
Brooke failed me tonight. I like her voice, I really adore this girl. But she’s starting to be on the lower pack. I am really hoping she won’t get the boot this week.

Who will be in the Bottom Three: Syesha. Carly. Kristy Lee.
Who should be in the Bottom Three: Carly. Kristy Lee. Brooke.

Who has the biggest chances so far: David Cook.Michael Johns. David Archuleta.
Who is least likely to survive: Syesha Mercado. Kristy Lee Cook.

Linda, Josef and Jieriel were nominated by their co-housemates and Priscilla and Valerie were automatically nominated due to a major violation they have committed days back before nomination.

I don’t think the five deserved the nomination. There are a lot of housemates there who didn’t make much impact as to Jieriel and Linda or Josef’s presence. For me, Nan and Nikki should have been on the block.

My current favorites include Alex, Jieriel, Priscilla and Robi.

We can see Jolas playing the fatherly Fred image. I can see Ejay getting booted in the mid of the pack, he’s kinda uninteresting. Priscilla’s not meeting the “drama” that she’s expected to deliver. Rona and Robi seems to be the intellectuals of the group. Josef might add color to the bunch since I think he’s really wise and playful.

Much of a surprise to me were Alex and Kevin, who I find really cocky at first but were just plain playful. I do think that this guys would attract more voters; they also tend to let people look at their deeper sides. They’d probably last.

Beauty, at first, was kinda annoying, but she’s trying to keep up naman with her housemates.

–
Among the five nominees, I do think that the La Sallian votes would be able to save Josef. Valerie will be saved by the wealthy Pinoys of Germany. Jieriel and Priscilla would have to be saved by the Mindanao votes.

Linda is going to be the first evicted teen housemate. I like her, but she’ll be the least likely to get votes.

Haha. Last two days, I checked my CRS and there’s still no grade at my second semester roster.

But as I checked just now. I have grades except for three subjects which I know what my grades will be.

So, have fun. Laugh your heart’s out with my mediocre grades. I passed all except that errrr… ES1.

Anyways, I didn’t expect to have a grade of 1.75 at Eng 11! Haha. And a 1.50 at PE 1 which I had a lot of absences.

In Math, my Finals score was really low, I presume. I only need 60+ in the Finals to get a 2.25 but I didnt get it. haha. My first Math na hindi tres! Hahaha.

In Physics, the Finals didn’t help me get a higher grade that’s why I only have a 2.25.

I passed ES 11. And with that fact, I am uber happy and contented.

For SocSci2, which I expected that I’ll get a 2.75, I got a 2.25! Hahaha.

Generally, given the roster of subjects, I survived the semester successfully, well, except for ES 1 which I have to retake, which might also cost me my scholarship. :c

I watched the Dolly Parton-inspired Idol last night. I am kinda surprised since a lot of the Idols brought us good performances or to say at least, there is a really good chance that any good Idol will go tonight.

Let us start with Brooke White, as of now, the girl isn’t the best performing Idol; but, she delivers well and the people like her. As of now, I think she’s still safe.

David Cook didn’t fail me since he is still at the top of the list for tonight. I don’t know. Performance-wise, Cook has this in the bag. He is very consistent every week, and better everytime he sings in front of us. I would be surprised if he gets eliminated.

Last week, Ramiele Malubay was in no good shape. I actually thought she’d be in the bottom line-up, but she’s still safe. I liked her performance, its a very safe one. With that, I think she can still be saved. It was a better performance than last week’s

I don’t know why, but Jason Castro starts to irritate me. I believe that this guy has talent. But his performances aren’t really that pleasant. I think he’s going to be in the Bottom 3.

Carly Smithson gave a very powerful performance tonight. Though, I think she’s one of the contestants with the lower fanbase, it’d be enough to sustain her another week in Idol. She is also one of those who has made a bigger impact than her former performances.

They liked David Archuleta‘s performance but I didn’t. I liked the intensity of his voice, but still, I don’t like his voice at all. I still can’t understand some of the words he’s singing and I still think, at times, he sings off-tune. Should be in the bottom 3, but is still safe.

Kristy Lee Cook did better last week. I do believe that this girl rocks at Country Music. She’ll be another Kellie Pickler. Haha. Anyway, enough said. I still think she’s gonna be in the bottom three.

Syesha Mercado, I think she did pretty well tonight, I don’t know about the judges. For me, it was clean, simple and very memorable. Something new for a “belting” kind of song. But unless, she does something super awesome, Syesha won’t impress America. I still think she doesn’t connect well with the people. Syesha will be in the Bottom 3.

The last performance was of Michael Johns, and was the only performance that I really liked.

I think we will have an all-male Final 2 this year. It’s a battle of the rockers: Michael Johns and David Cook.

PERFORMANCE-WISE
1. David Cook
2. Michael Johns
3. Carly Smithson
4. Syesha Mercado
5. Brooke White
6. David Archuleta
7. Ramiele Malubay
8. Jason Castro
9. Kristy Lee Cook
