March 4, 2010

Well, one of my predictions was correct. John Park is heading home tonight, although was it just me or did he sound better tonight than he did on Tuesday? I actually saw his potential tonight and I’m kind of bummed we won’t see him again.

American Idol Recap: Boys’ Night Week 2

March 3, 2010

Last week I totally missed the boat with the Idol recaps. I watched both shows a day after the fact, and it wasn’t until I saw Boomama’s Idol recap that I remembered that I was going to blog the show. I even missed the results show because, hello, SURVIVOR? Nuff said.
