Week 5 Analysis

How is Scotty McGreery doing with is new career in the Country Music aftrer American Idol?  Well the winner of Ameican Idol would have had their first song published right away, and it was the song he sang on the second last night of the show.  Scotty sang "I Love You This Big", which became the first highest charting debut song for a new artist in over 20 years!  The first time it was heard on the radio was may 24, and came in at number 32 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.  The song also hit number 3 on Billboards Digitral songs chart with 171,404 units sold, and number one on iTunes.

Scotty definately accomplished so much in such a short time.  From the first day of his audition, I couldn't wait myself to hear his voice the following week, wondering what is he giong to sing next?  For such a young kid, at age 16 auditioning,and turning 17 during American Idol, he sure has a career ahead of him, and he deserves it with that wonderful voice of his. I believe after watching American Idol for at least 6 years now, this is the first year that I am so happy for the one person I have wanted to win, and he acually did win.  I can't wait to hear what song he will be singing next, and I really can't wait to buy that first CD.  Good Luck Scotty!

week 4 anylisis

On American Idol this year, Steven Tyler was one of the three judges. At first Steven didn't really want to be a judge.  He wasn't that crazy about American Idol in the first place.  Steve quotes, " I never wanted to do american Idol, this show sucks.  How can kids be (an) American Idol? They haven't played clubs, they haven't paid their dues, they haven't done what we did," the legendary rocker goes on to explain, adding, " I was wrong, they are out there, we just have to wade through a bunch of them".

When Steven first heard Lauren sing, he was amazed right from the start on how her voice just sang, and never had problems hitting the notes.  From the day Lauren auditioned, she was always Stevens favorite.

Even though I love the show American Idol, there are many people that don’t see the show exciting as I do.  But if they gave it a chance they really might like to watch it.  Look how Steven Tyler didn’t like the show at first but he gave it a chance especially by being a judge, but he ended up liking the show after all.  You won’t know if you don’t like American Idol unless you give it a try.

Week 3 Analysis

I first started watching American Idol about 5 years ago, but who were all the winners from season 1-10?  Season 1 Kelly Clarkson was the first winner for American Idol.  If your a country fan, you can see her all the time performing.  Season 2 was Ruben Studdard.  Season 3 was Fantasia Barrino.  I do hear about these first three winners, they are all doing well!  Season 4 was Carrie Underwood, another country singer, she is very well known.  Season 5 was Taylor Hicks, I do believe this is the season I started watching, because I wasn't to happy with Taylor, I dont really hear anything about his career.  Season 6 was Jordan Sparks. Season 7 David Cook, which I really like him, but this wass when Chris Daughtry was voted off last 4, he was my favorite and is doing very well, along with David Cook.  Kris Allen was Season 8, this year was tough because Adam Lambert had a great voice.  Season 9 the winner was Lee DeWyze and of course Season 10 the winner is Scott McCreery at age 17, the youngest of all winners and a country singer.

Weekly Analysis

American Idol this week was amazing to watch!  I was really happy with James opening up with Led Zeppelin.  It was a real shock when James was voted off from on of the last four finalalists.  I thought for sure it would have came down to James and Scotty.  I remember Chris Daughtry was also voted off when he was one of the last four.  What are these people thinking when they are voting? 

The could have kept Lady Gaga home.  The way she was dressed and how she acted with that guy on stage as she sang was nothing people should be watching on American Idol.  A lot of young people watch and she was just very disgusting with her moves.

I also didnt like Jennifer Lopez dancing as her husband sang.  She just seems a little sluty to me on t.v. for Amerian Idol also.  Dont matter she's the most beautiful woman, very distasteful for American Idol.

Scotty of course though, was sounding good as he sang with Tim McGraw.  I definately see a future in the Country Music, along with Lauren.  I would love to hear these two sing more duets together, they are just a cute pair.

Congratualtion's Scotty!

Assignment 2-2

John Travolta
Elvis Presley
Snow White

I have chosen John Travolta, he was an actor I had a crush on growing up. Loved his dancing in the movie Grease.  Along with John Travolta, Elvis Presley was such a wonderful singer and I loved how he moved on stage.  As a little girl I loved watching Snow White, she was so lucky that she had a Prince Charming.

I chose John Travolta because the firest time I saw him on screen was when he played in the movie Grease.  I loved how he danced, and this movie came out when I was 13 years old in 1978.  In the movie his played the character Danny which was in love with Sandy (Olivia Newton John).  Danny thought he had to change in order to get back the girl he loves.  In the end it was Sandy that wanted to fit in with the group and did'nt want Danny to change, so she changed her appearance.

Elvis Presley was one good singer that I was amazed with and how he moved on stage. Elvis was born Jan. 8, 1935 and died Aug. 16, 1977.  I was 12 years old, and I remember when the news came on, I was at a friends house when they told everyone that Elvis had died, and we all cried.  My son had met Elvis Presley's Drill Seargent in Kentucky as he was taking a cab back to base which he is in the Army.

Growing up I loved watching Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, wich came out in 1937.  I loved how she was rescued form a handsome price while she was under a dark majic spell,  Snow White's Prince Charming came to rescue her.  As a little girl I always wanted to find my Prince Charming, which I finally did and we have been married 6 happy years.
