Pre-Review : Top 24 Contestant American Idol-Season 7

Starting last year, I watch almost every episodes of American Idol. Too bad I missed the best episode ever of season 6, you know, konser kemanusiaannya itu loh, Idol gives back yah, waktu yang ada Celine Dion nyanyi bareng Elvis, whooaaaa.... Nyeselnya bukan main.
Dari tahun lalu juga niat2 nulis review tentang kontestan2nya, tapi ga jadi mulu. So this year, i make up to it.
I fall in love with this show (telat ga siiih...) The Judge, i love how they make comments. Tidak berlebihan dalam memuji, walo kadang berlebihan kalo nyela. Mereka, terutama Simon, menilai bukan hanya dari kualitas suara, tapi sampai ke attitude. No offense, kalo dibandingin ama Judge Indonesian Idol... Mereka kayanya denger peserta audisi bisa nyanyi aja udah terkagum-kagum banget... Padahal, sorry ya... Aku kecewa banget sama Indonesian Idol season terakhir tahun lalu itu, menurutku, samsek ga ada kualitas bintang. Lebih sebel lagi juga, soal akhirnya juara or kontestas yang tahun sebelumnya (angkatan Ihsan, Dirly dan Ghea) berakhir main sinetron. Lah, judulnya kan kontes nyanyi... Kok juaranya dijadiin bintang film? Belum lagi di Indo, sistem votingnya main dukungan, terus sms-nya dikomersilin banget. Maleees deeeh... Mudah2an tahun ini ada perbaikan yah...
Balik ke season 7 American Idol ini... Sebelum ngomongin 24 kontestan yang bakal berlaga minggu ini, pengen ngulik2 dikit buat kontestan yang unik dan asyik (ada yang aku jagoin juga) tapi ga lolos ke Top 24, they are :

Perrie Cataldo, a single parent of a very cute boy... too bad he can't make it, padahal bagus loh... Katanya dia ada catatan kriminal, apa itu berpengaruh ke putusan juri ya?
Kyle Ensley, Hahaha... love this guy. He look like a geek or some campus nerd, but must admit, he can sing. Even Simon don't agree to cut him... Remind us of Clay Ailken, but Clay has much strong voice and singing skill.
Josiah Leming, american boy with english accent when singing. How unique is that? Simon ampe terkaget2 waktu audisi. Saking uniquenya dia itu, band yang mengiringi ampe ga sanggup kali ya ngikutin aransmen yang dia mau buat last performance di Hollywood week.

Untuk season kali ini, i say, there are 2 big JOKES in Hollywood week. Alesha Stelzi : Paula and Randy love her just because she sounds like Dolly Parton, and finally Simon had to admit it. Tapi toh akhirnya di Hollywood week dia ga lolos kan? Ghaleb Emachah : Oh yeah, He's HOT. A typical spanish exotic and charming guy. But, can't stand the accent... hehehe. Ghaleb, you sould try Mexican Idol, if it's exist, bet you'll win...

For the Top 24 Contestant, you can see them here. I'm just going to make a short comment about some of them that i know, and pick my favs.

Amanda Overmyer : Out of her good singing, I think she's sereeem, sesuai dengan bacground musicnya, dandanan cewek ini gothic banget, padahal profesinya perawat :) If I can give her suggestion, she must change her hairstyle, it's to wierd for her... It's like some black bushes stuck in her head. Not my fav yet, but i think she'll go to TOP 12.

Brooke White : Remind me of Alanis Morissette. I like when she performed with keyboard lastweek.

Chikezie Eze : Funny name, easy to remember. Comeback from the NO/Rejected group last season, this season finally the judges can "feel" him. He's got a chance to TOP 12.

Danny Noriega : Sweet boy, cute... i don't quite remember how he sang, let's check this week performance.

David Archuleta : Another cute boy... so cute. And the singing is great too... wish he could make to TOP 12.

David Cook : Simon said he will look vulnarable without his guitar, will it be right? He has a star quality.

Garret Haley : Maaf ya (and amit-amit jabang bayi), orang ini tampangnya unik banget... Kaya rocker2 jaman dulu, hihihi mungkin karena rambutnya. Terus terang aku bengong liat dia di jajaran kontestan, karena perasaan samsek ga pernah liat penampilannya di audisi ataupun Hollywood week, eh tau2 lolos aja ke Top 24. Makanya rada penasaran ama yang satu ini.

Joanne Borgella : A beautiful and talented plus size model... Tagged : favorite

Michael John : While other sing a lot of Bryan Adam's Everything I do... He amazed the judges (and me of course) with Bohemian Rhapsody.... Love it..love it.. love it. Tagged : favorite

Ramiele Malubay : This tiny and pretty Philipine girl been a fav to me since the first audition. Glad she get to here. Hope she can get through TOP 3 (yes, Top 3)

Syesha Mercado : Another bacground singer (ugh, i forgot last year female contestant who also a background singer). She lost her voice during H week, but she still sang sooo good... She's great, not my fav but pasti tembus lah TOP 12.

I can't predict all of the TOP 12 yet, since i haven't seen all of their performance, so let's wait and see this Thursday.

SOS : Morning Sickness, Help!

I'm 8 weeks pregnant now, and entering morning sick torture period.... Help... Help... Ga comfort banget... rasa mual itu ga cuma terasa pagi, but all day! All day... Mulai terasa sejak minggu lalu, awalnya aku berusaha melawan, karena aku pikir efek psikologis aja, cuman perasaan aja, karena waktu kehamilan pertama aku juga mual2 parah... jadi ada rasa trauma.

Minggu ini, pada awal2nya ga terlalu berasa... kebetulan juga mungkin karena sibuk banget ama kejadian yang menimpa kantorku. Tapi mulai Rabu, i feel totally exhausted, nausea and lost my appetite... even to my favorite meals... So far aku cuma ngerasa comfort kalo makan mie instant kuah panas2 dan wedang ronde. Aku udah paksain makan, tapi i will feel bloating after that... And will only relief after vomitting, yucks! Meskipun dah ada pengalaman dari kehamilan yang lalu, maksudnya baca2 gitu dari buku kehamilan gimana ngatasin morning sickness ini, tapi kok ya ga nolong...

Tadi pagi searching di i-net, dapat artikel ini, ternyata dikatakan vit B6 dan alat accupresure untuk anti mabok laut bisa membantu mengatasi rasa mual. Ada yang bisa bantu ngasih info lebih jauh tentang ini? Mungkin aku bakal konsul juga ke Obgyn-ku, tapi schedulenya masih minggu depan. Huhuhu... sebenarnya deg2an ama kehamilan ini, karena begitu baru tau hamil, aku dah terserang flu hebat yang bikin mau ga mau minum obat, setelah konsul dokter tentunya. Terus baru beres flu, ternyata ada infeksi yang bikin aku keputihan hebat :((, jadi harus konsumsi antibiotik. Itupun akhirnya aku bandel, minumnya cuman 2 hari, ga aku abisin, abisnya males banget minum obat... Padahal antibiotik harus abis yah? Help...Help... ada yang bisa kasih resep manjur untuk all day sickness ini? I'm sick of it...
