Pia vs. James

I am comparing Pia Toscado and James Durbin. After looking through some websites it seems like those are the top two favorites to win American Idol. First Pia she’s a little shyer, she’s not super shy but she’s not super outgoing. Her vocals can reach to the heavens and back. :0.  Her type of music is more moderate and calm. On the American Idol fan club she has 7,306 where as James has 8,211. James is a more outgoing type of singer, he gets the crowd going. He’s definitely a rocker! Even though has a hard rocker he also has a soft side in his vocals and music. I think he’s liked a lot also because of his story (he has turrets’) and his crazy high vocals. So far Pia is the only person on Idol this season that has gotten a standing ovation from the judges. James is the only person on Idol that had gotten J-Lo to go crazy and dance. All in all both Pia and James both deserve to win, they are both amazing singers. I definitely think it is going to come down to those two. If one of them messes up it could cost them, so far neither of them have messed up on a song that they have sung. If one of them messes up then I think the other one will end up winning.  If they both do amazing each week then I think it will be the closest voting American Idol has ever seen!  Even if James or Pia don’t win they are both going to get a record deal no matter what.

American Idol Interviwn With My Family

On this blog I will be interviewing my family about his views on American Idol. This blog is primarily based on someone else’s point of view and opinion. Also, since this is an American Idol blog, I must add that last week Ashton Jones was eliminated. :( Very sad considering her amazing amounts of talent.
MONICA: Who do you think the top 5 idols are going to be?

DAD: Casey Because I think he’s just real good and I like him. James because I think he’s going to be a rock star. Pia because she sings like a angel. Stefano because he got a wild card and wants to prove himself. Jacob because he has a real big powerful voice.

MOM: James because I think he’s awesome and he reminds me of Adam Lambert. Casey because he is very talented and has a great voice. Jacob because his voice is phenomenal. Lauren because she has a wonderful voice. Scottie great deep voice for a kid of his age.

TISH: Lauren because she has a wide Varity of music. Scotty because he’s consistent and has great stage presence. Paul because he has a different and unique voice. James because he can pretty much sing anything. Case he has a unique voice and a wide range of notes.

TISH: I don’t like how emotional J Lo is, I think it gets in the was of her judgment

My Review On Chris Daughterys Success

Over the years Chris Daughtry has become on of the most popular Idols. He has become a sensation. But he did not even win Idol, he did not even come close. He made it to the top ten and was eliminated. No one believed that he could get eliminated, every one thought for sure he was going to be the winner. “After Chris Daughtry was voted off the show, a online petition showed up at www.petitiononline.com. Fans were demanding a recount of votes to get Daughtry back on American Idol.”( Giddens, page28).  The petition did not change anything, Chris was just out of luck.

Even though Chris was voted off that was not the end of him. “On July 10 he signed an agreement with RCA records chief Clive Davis and Simon Fuller label.”(Giddens, page30). Chris came out with his first album called Daughtry. “In just the first week the album sold 304,000 copies” (Giddens, Page 33).

So based on all this information I would have to say that my review for Chris is an excellent. Although he did not even come close to winning Idol, he has become one of the best performers to ever come out of Idol (along with Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson). He is known and loved by many, and to some he was the “winner” of American Idol.
