I have been watching American Idol since channel 5 telecast the second season back in 2003...

Katharine McPhee is always my fave (in my opinion, the prettiest and most talented and having the most potential to shape into an idol), so is Clay Aiken.

Didn't like Carrie Underwood when she was competing (never get the idea why Simon liked her so much then) but like her a lot when she started to release good albums and great songs (really love her Before He Cheats... that's her best song to date in my opinion)

This year's idol bunch is really good. Recommended for those who don't watch idol every season. Trust me, it's really good.

My fave is Carly Smithson and David Cook! Really REALLY like Carly's voice. She is really the only one I can imagine buying her album after the competition. Simon actually said before that she has the best sounding voice to be recorded on album. She hasn't really gotten the habit of choosing the right songs and I am getting nervous for her! I hope she will get that habit soon, because I think she should be at least in the top 5!!

And David Cook! The most original contestant out of the lot. So far actually, I am thinking he is the one to beat in the competition... Fell in love with him big time when heard him singing Billie Jean...

Who can imagine that he is actually singing one of the Michael Jackson's classic?

**Spoilers Ahead***

But Michael John is out! Seriously wrong... should have been syesha in my opinion. Argh... I really like him though he is not exactly my favourite. But still!! Michael??!! WHY?? Wrong wrong wrong...

American Idol never fails to shock me at one point or another. But on the day when Idol Gives Back mood is still pretty much in the atmosphere, the shock came at the wrong time.

Sighz! Hope Carly and David can go all the way!!

Ok, back to global marketing... sighz =(
