THE RETURN OF THE ANTI-SIMON!

OMAHA -

I'll admit it. I am so envious of Chris, the 2008 Ross-The-Intern, who took my dream job! I could have brought presents! I want to be the Soccer Mom covering Idol between games and drop-offs! Soccer Moms deserve breaks too!

Simon has created a new persona, the Anti-Simon! Sounds like something Prince would sing - the Anti-Simon - oh no, let's go! As a nice person, I actually like him. How long will it last before he thows a little extra pepper on it?

Back to the show:

Rachel Wicker- the thing I liked about her was that she had short hair! First blonde country singer to go through with short hair.

Angelica Puente- happy for her reconcilation and her voice made her dad proud!

Samantha Sidley- loved her voice on the Norah Jones song. I could listen to her audition over and over!

Jason Rich- I am so glad Simon let him finish singing. He has a beautiful tone. I was so afraid he was getting the boot for forgetting the words.

Leo Marlowe- Great personality, great voice, I would vote for him!

David Cook- Living on a Prayer - much better than Jordin's version. He had the right amount of edgy, yet soulful rock. Was that a fauxhawk? Was that a shout out to Sanjaya?

Red Wing sisters made it through but weren't shown singing!


MIAMI - Rhythm is going get you, tonight!

Shannon- MeatMamma! Hamburger Meat! She probably was ok but it is all about song choice baby!

Robbie Carrico- Good but obviously, RPS liked him better than me! I didn't like the first half of his song, the last half was much better.

OOOOH BABBY - but can he sing?
Ghaleb! Sing Spanish to me! Not sure how he would do during theme nights but he would win hands down on Latin night!

Ramiele Malubay- I just love her! Only heard Melinda Doolittle sing it better but she gives her a run for her money!

Syesha Mercado- a powerhouse voice, she isn't messing around, she just gets down (sorry, that came from somewhere in the 70's recess of my mind!)

Julie Dubela, you started out good then what the heck happened to get Simon all riled up?

Why didn't they show Matt Sato? He made it through. He is just the sweetest thing; I really wanted him to make it this year!

Omaha and Miami showed lots of promise!

Next up: Atlanta!
