American Idol Season 9

after the very boring semi-final round of the new season of one of my favorite shows, AMERICAN IDOL, we're finally down to the top 12 finalists. So far, the performances this season have been nothing but mediocre. A few contestants have definitely disappointed me. Having seen the performances during hollywood week and having seen a couple of stand-out and memorable auditions during the first couple of shows, it seemed that this batch has a lot of potential. However, during the semi-finals, is it me or does the finalists seem pretty off.

Over the years, this is the round where the finalists shine and give us a taste of what they have to offer. But during this season's semi-finals, it was just really boring and the finalist had been giving us very "amateur" sounding performances. This is new to me because even though they are amateurs, American Idol has always delivered artists, of course not everyone, that give us "professional" sounding performances, something to rave about, something to watch over and over again, and something that will leave a mark to our ears and our hearts.

So far, i have been a little disheartened by the quality of performances that these so called performers should be delivering us in our television screens week after week. But right now, if there is one performer for me that really gives his all and delivers a passionate performance every week, that is Michael Lynche. He's definitely not the best singer, definitely not the best looking person up on the stage, definitely not the best dancer, nor is he the most creative artist among the bunch, however, if there are 2 things that separate him from the rest of the contestants on the show, that is energy and passion. He, to me, is the only performer up there that provides a sparkle of energy and delivers songs with a passion that marks a memory in the minds of many week after week. Take note, WEEK AFTER WEEK, not just during one of the many shows they have during this season so far.

I seriously hope that the contestants this season step up and start firing up the stage like "real" performers!!!

Right now I really don't know whether or not Michael Lynche can win the whole thing, maybe not, but I would like to make a prediction. I will call the shot this time.

Michael Lynche will be part of the top 3 of American Idol Season 9.

There it goes...
