I thought I was watching American Idol via satellite. It was way late. Thanks to the net, I could myself updated.

I had a severe headache yesterday, hence, I watched the American Idol. It was the girl’s turn to sing.

TOP 12 GIRLS

Alaina Whitaker- I don’t know the song she sang, but I wasn’t moved by it. I don’t even remember it.

Alexandrea Lushington- I love her performance. It was a typical American Idol performance, but she added some spices, and I love her get-up. You know, suspenders and flare jeans.

Amanda Overmyer- Honestly, it’s a real mystery to me why she was still in the show. They should’ve chucked her out, or didn’t pick at all, because there wasn’t anything special about her, except for her style. Gothic, punk, whatever you call it, but it looks scary. The voice is awful too. I’d be happy to see her on the show if her voice is like Aimee Lee of Evanescence. Pardon the spelling, please.

Amy Davis- I don’t remember what she sung, and it definitely didn’t move me, okay. Hate the performance.

Asia’H Epperson- Nice vocals, I love the performance, so energetic, and she seemed a fun person. I just don’t get the H in her name. She definitely made her dad proud.

Brooke White- She’s only 24? Are you kidding me? She looks like 39, seriously. Thanks to David Cook, I loved the song “Happy Together”. Simon said she reminded him of a dishwashing paste (or liquid, can’t remember) commercial, which was joyful, sunny and yellow. Just like Tellytubbies. I hate that show, for your information.

Carly Smithson- Tsk. Man, I don’t like the vocals at all, but the judges seemed to hear different. They all liked her. Who wouldn’t like a professional singer? I think I just learned to dislike her, because of the issue with her past career. You know, she was from Ireland, and a recording artist, even have an MTV video of her own before she joined the idol. She should give chance to others, because she’s through.

Joanne Borgella- Very beautiful girl. And big. I heard that she’s a plus-size model. The thing is, she messed up. I think she was just nervous.

Kady Malloy- Cool. I love the dress, but not the performance.

Kristy Lee Cook- I think she’s the girl who sang “Amazing Grace” during her audition, and Hollywood Week. Yup, twice. She thinks it’s a safe song.

Ramiele Malubay- Oh, the pinay. She reminds me of Raven Simone. She’s pretty and small, just like a typical Pinay. The judges were amazed by her big, powerful voice, and it’s still a wonder to them where that voice came from. They couldn’t believe that that small frame is capable of producing tones a la Mariah, Whitney, or Dianna Ross. Actually, in the Philippines, especially in Philippine Showbusiness, there are a lot of girls like her. You know, small, but terrible. There’s Jonalyn Viray, Sarah Geronimo, Rachelle Ann Go and Sheryn Regis. I couldn’t go on further with the list, sorry. She even sang a typical singing contest show, “You don’t have to say you love me…..” which is always sung in amateur singing contest shows in the Philippines.

Syesha Mercado- My favorite. But what’s up with the name? Anyway, she wowed the judges, and I think, she’ll make it to the top.

My Favorites: Syesha Mercado, Ramiele Malubay and Asia’H Epperson.

I’ve been reading a book by Iain Pears, entitled “The Immaculate Deception” since Monday. Usually, it only takes a day or two for me to finish an entire book, plus a summary and review online, but this one, oh, I don’t know. I’ve been forcing myself to read it, but it was so boring. In fact, my favorite subjects, Art and History, were on the book, so I’m expecting that I’d bury my head on it to finish it right away. But no, I always fell asleep, and sometimes, when I’m fully conscious while reading it, my mind seemed to wander off from it.

When I found it on the library, the title caught my attention. “The Immaculate Deception”, pretty catchy, don’t you think? I borrowed it right away, thinking it was like Da Vinci Code or something like that. Heck no, I was bored to death when I started reading it. Let me tell you about the parts I’ve survived reading.

Flavia di Stefano, a newlywed and Italian Art Theft Squad head was appointed to go after a missing painting, a Claude something, which was borrowed from Louvre Museum for a complimentary exhibit, secretly, by the Prime Minister. They had to do it secretly to avoid public hummiliation. I’ve learned that it’s against the law, in Italy, to pay for ransom. It’s illegal, and one who paid for ransom should go to jail.

The borrowed painting was recovered, and it was really confusing how, but I’ll tr my best to tell you. Flavia’s old boss and mentor, Taddeo Bottando helped her out. He thought it was Maurizio Sabbatini who stole the painting, because he’s the only person who’s capable of stealing the painting with such drama, like wearing a Da Vinci mask, and handing out Belgian chocolates before leaving the place.

Meanwhile, Flavia’s husband, Jonathan Argyll was accross the town, researching on a painting he found in Bottando’s apartment. His research about the Immaculate Concepcion Painting would be his retirement gift for Bottando. He discovered some mysteries that could lead to another, which made things more confusing.

After Flavia recovered the painting by illegally paying the ransom, which was from Maurizio Sabbatini’s money, sent by a relative, Maurizio died. Actually, he died before the negotiations. He drowned from a tub of plaster. How weird. I think Bottando’s all behind, and here are my reasons:

1.) Bottando was in his way of retirement, and his pension was small. I think he needs money for an extravagant retired life.

2.) He argued with Flavia who’s to hand the ransom. He won, took the money in the dark, and Flavia assumed that he was trading the money with the Claude painting. He came back to Flavia’s car without the money, but the Claude painting was with him.

3.) He was involved in some missing-paintings-issues, as the investigator, and the book didn’t indicate that he resolved even a single case.

4.) He pinpoints people, and he seemed to know who stole this and that, and was very sure of it.

5.) He suggested the perfect time for swapping, and that was the final day of his job before his retirement.

You know, what I really liked to know is who stole the painting. I don’t care what’s deceptive with the Immaculate Painting. A review said that the novel was magnificent. Liar.

I think I have to go now, because I have to pack for a three-day tour. I’d be gone for so long, and I think I won’t be writing here until Martedi, unless, the hotel I’ll be checking-in is Wi-Fi. I’ll be leaving the town, tomorrow, five o’clock in the morning.

And awhile ago, I visited americanidol.com, and Garrett, Amy Davis, Colton Berry and Joanne Borgella were out of the show. Good grief! I expected to see Luke Menard and Jason Yeager to be out of the show. But Garrett and Colton, no way. They’re so talented and had great vocals. Maybe, my vote really matters. Looks like Idol judges got rid of Ellen Degeneres look-alikes. Man, keep this in mind; if you get in American Idol in the future, never say you look like Ellen Degeneres, even if you really are. People who admit it were always chucked out of the show. I still know one more person who looks like Ellen Degeneres, but still on the American Idol. Unlike Colton and Garrett, he didn’t say it, so he stays.
