4 out of 12 ain't bad...

Okay, so there were SOME high points last night. Four to be exact.

1) Vonzell (a slap to her mama for that name) was vibrant and interesting and definitely has a good voice.

2) Dairy Maid Girl: the cute blond girl from Oklahoma with the EXCELLENT voice. She could win. She's got a presence and a sweetness and she definitely has the pipes. She's Kelly Clarkson sings country. I just wish I could remember her name...

3) Makalah: Okay, y'all don't like her. I do. I love her attitude, I love her lips, I love that she's only sixteen and has the confidence of a 40 year old. She reminds me of early Barbra Streisand and I think she rocks. She won't win cause y'all are haters -- but she rocks.

4) Aloha: Beyonce without the incredible body or gorgeous face. But still...Beyonce. And that ain't bad. I actually voted for her. Three times.

The rest of the singers were...bleh. I didn't care. Didn't even rewind my Tivo to watch it again.

Why is the talent pool so boring this year? Do I have this same complaint every year? Does it always feel so lame at this stage in the game?
