American Idol - 2008
Wow, I can't believe a thread hasn't been started about this yet. I'm not going to talk about everything we've seen up to tonight, and instead I'll just focus on the top 12 guys, and more specifically, the ones I liked.
First up, Jason Castro. The way I can tell which person I thought was the best is by seeing how many times I'm compelled to rewind the performance and watch it again. Jason was the only guy to make me do that, and I think I watched it about five times. The guy has just got the best color to his voice, and the performance was so damn earnest. He really made me believe that he was a true talent. And Paula was right - it was effortless. He was about the only performer to not make me think he was trying. The guy looked like he could have been performing that on a back porch. I really hope he carries on.
Next up... well, there isn't much else that made me sit up and take notice. Micheal Johns' take on "Light My Fire" was good, and Robbie Carrico was good too, but that was it. Jason stole the night, in my opinion.
