I've added a few new features to Musings of a Housewife that I hope will be helpful. Over the weekend I created a Whole Foods Resources page that is a great place to start if you are interested in learning more about the whole foods lifestyle. I also compiled my design tutorials into one convenient location. Both are linked in my nav bar. And there is now a Print Friendly button at the bottom of each post, should you feel like printing recipes or information for future reference. Before printing, you will have the option to delete any photos or content you don't need.

I’m tuning in a bit late tonight and my DVR is being temperamental so I missed the first performance.  Was it any good?  Who was it?  I tuned in just in time for a Triscuit commercial, which gave me a hankering for some cheese and crackers.

But anyway.

Alex Lambert is getting ready to sing Trouble, and I’m already worried that trouble is what he’s getting into.  Great song, but I’m not sure he can pull it off.  I dunno, I generally like that unique quality to his voice, but on this, notsomuch.  Actually, by the end I was starting to change my mind.  The judges liked it.  I think he needs another five years.  What is he, 17?  Googling…  Okay, so he’s 19.  Well…  I’m not sure what I think.  What do YOU think?

Now, Tim Urban’s performance of Hallelujah was pretty darn good.  It helps that I absolutely adore this song, but it’s almost becoming one of those songs that should go on the Do Not Sing list for a while.  But he really pulled it off.  WHAT is Ellen doing hopping up on stage?  Aw, he’s about to cry.  I’m so happy for him.

Andrew Garcia better find that magic he had during Hollywood week or I fear he may be going home tomorrow night.  Aaaaaaand… this isn’t it.  There was nothing magical about that.  And what’s this “peaking too early” nonsense about?  So he had one good song.  It was a fluke.  Either you’ve got it or you don’t.  And that’s all I’ve got to say about that.

Okay, now we’re talking.  Casey James on a stool with his acoustic guitar and a microphone singing Keith Urban.  I think he finally got it right this week.  Randy, no… safe?  Hm.  No, I disagree.  I think it was “honest” — to coin one of the judges’ favorite words.  Thank you, Ellen.  Oh, and then Kara plays the “honest” card.  See?  Told ya.  Simon says it was his second best performance this season, but I actually like this better than the Bryan Adams song from Week One; I think he was trying too hard on that one.  But whatever.  He should stick around another week for sure.

Aaron Kelly, oh dear.  This song is way too big for him.  (What do you want to bet one of the judges says that?  I predict Randy.)  Nice effort, but not age appropriate and his voice just doesn’t have the power this song requires.  Now see, Randy actually liked it.  But Ellen and I are on the same page.  Haha.  He just said “Yes ma’am” to Ellen.  Which proves my next point — I TOTALLY agree with Kara about the subject matter of the song.  Simon at least admitted the vocals weren’t there, so he had part of it right.

Oooooh, Glee commercial.  April 13th.  Write it down.

Toddrick Hall is taking on Queen.  Alright then.  I do love this song, especially the Glee version — it’s on my Running playlist, but…  Hey now, this is pretty hot.  He’s pulling it off.  There was a little part there before the grand finish where I wanted more, but I guess he was saving it up for the last note.  I’m not quite sure who we’re going to vote out this week.

A whirly skirt?  Hunh.  Cute.  If you’re 15.  Or a toothpick.

Clearly I don’t watch commercials much.  I’m not quite sure why I feel the need to comment on them.

Ooooh, I’m glad I didn’t miss Michael Lynche in my DVR debacle/fiasco.  Not typically my style of music, but this just might make me a convert.  Loving Randy’s reaction.  And Ellen’s.  But what is up with Kara?  And is Simon actually being sensitive?  Wow.

So who did I miss?  Because I’m not sure who to predict will go home.  Oh here we go.  Recap.  Lee Dewyze.  And it looks like it was a good one.

To go home tomorrow night, I’m thinking Andrew Garcia and… Alex? Aaron?  What say you?

Oh and hey.  Check out my Ritter Sport chocolate giveaway on Reviewsings.  Yes, I said chocolate.  Nom nom.

As usual, you can check out Boomama’s place for more Idol recaps.  Over and out.
