I LUV TIJUANA |

Listening back to her past performances even "Lean on Me" was good, I still don't get why the judges hated it apart from the fact that it's such an iconic song. "The Way I Am" was solid, but not my favorite mostly because I'm not a fan of the song. "Rhiannon" and "Play with Fire" have been tremendous performances and I'm glad people are finally noticing her because she's got such a pleasant voice to listen to. My stance is that her voice may not technically be the best but she's got my favorite voice and one of my favorites ever on Idol. I could listen all day. It's so smooth and nice to listen to. Nothing can top "Terrified" for me. I get chills watching it. It's like that song was written for her. It makes me think Kara would love to write her songs if she was to win American Idol. Didi does it a thousand times better than Katharine McPhee (who I also loved). I am in love with Didi. As much as I loved Allison last season, I wasn't bowled over this early with her.

In the real world, you don't need the ability to belt out high notes anyway. It's all about marketability and a recognizable voice.

Play with Fire's studio version is so amazing.
This bitch will win. They'll pimp Siobhan and Crystal till the very end but I don't doubt for a second that Didi has this in the bag (unless a very possible mental/emotional breakdown takes place of course) |

great personality |
|||

yup, they've totally already created a faux fall/redemption arc for her.
"Play With Fire" is amazing, live & studio. |

Agreed. Also I think they're going to be on a "you get better and better" every week train.
Eventually Simon will tell Crystal she's one note even though he's praised her all along. This week got me hopeful that they actually appreciate Siobhan but I'm not entirely convinced, it remains to be seen if they'll keep pimping her (a Didi/Siobhan F2 showdown please) or if they'll throw her under the bus at some point. I figure they'd be wise not to throw any of the 3 under the bus and not to pimp them too heavily as well so people get sick of it, although they can still do the latter and any case make Top 3/2. All the other people suck and they need these 3 to get as far as possible. Is "Play With Fire" that short of a song? I love the studio but its too short. |

Didi really knows how to express a song. I don't see that in a lot of the contestants this year. The arrangement, the phrasing, and her carriage were in sync with the meaning of the song and the complete opposite of Tim's song. I like her interpretations.

The problem with Didi going really far is that Siobhan & Crystal aren't getting voted off any time soon, and Idol has NEVER had 3 white women in the top 6 before. Here's the stats for white women making the top 6:
season one: 2 (Kelly & Nikki) season two: 1 (Carmen) season three: 1 (Diana) season four: 1 (Carrie) season five: 2 (Katherine & Kellie) season six: 0 season seven: 2 (Brooke & Carly) season eight: 0 Seasons one & seven did have 3 white women in their top 7, but of course it didn't last (in season 7 they were the next 3 people voted off!). Overall, this is a shockingly low number (9 out of 48, less than 20% of the total). Obviously, what we are all hoping for is a race-reversed repeat of season 6. Instead of having black women blowing everybody else off the stage each week, have white women doing it (which is indeed pretty much what happened this week, in spite of Lacey's demise). |

Idol has also never had 5 white women in the Top 12 period and that happened this year. There's a first time for everything and there's also no guarantee that Siobhan and Crystal aren't going to get voted off. This Top 12 only has 2 black people in it and 1 Latino, that's 9/12 white people which is probably a first as well.
Just saying. Back on Didi. Listening to "Play With Fire," I only got a chance to listen once earlier. Love it. Such a beautiful voice. I'm with token, I think her song interpretations are wonderful. I love her arrangements, her phrasing, her tone etc. I like that we can now confirm she is able to be versatile and arrange songs in such a way that suit her. There was a point there where I was sort of afraid she'd never get praise if she didn't do stuff with her guitar every week. Like I said Didi has said she only learned guitar two years ago and we know she's been doing her music for at least 5+ years so she can obviously do things without the guitar. I'm excited to watch her progress in this competition. |

Miki hate.
I'm dead serious bitch, if you don't jump on the Didi bandwagon I will hate you forever. On another note can I just say Didi designed the ugliest Ford Fiesta last night, wtf. ![]() |

I think Didi is my new Jordin Sparks/Carly Rae Jepsen contestant. Didn't enjoy as much them on the show as I will/have post Idol. I know Didi will do better stuff than Idol, I just find her boring on Idol, kinda of like Jordin. But now I love Jordin and Carly Ho. That is one ugly car. I guess lesbians aren't good on design. |

Ugly or not, I'd like to fuck Didi in the back seat of that car.
Siobhan's octopus car ftw, though. |

I loved Siobhan and Crytal's cars.
I love how passionate sadllama is about Didi's hottness. This picture made me laugh so hard. She's like talking on her phone and still ruining their picture. ![]() More Diobhan. ![]() Didi obviously stabbing Lee in the shoulder for separating her and Siobhan. ![]() I didn't even realize but I put "Play with Fire" on repeat and listened to it 22 times, lol.

She doesn't have a powerhouse voice, but she's developing a good style and since the Lean On Me disaster, she's wised up w/ song choices. If she stays on this track she'll go very far. In that respect, she reminds me a bit of Carly Smithson: when she's on, she's great, when she's off, it's baaaad.
I really like the studio Play With Fire. I think I prefer it to the live one. |

I didn't and still don't think "Lean On Me" was a disaster. I thought it sounded good. It was definitely not a good song choice, didn't make sense and didn't suit her but I didn't hate the performance by any means.
Carly imo was on a lot more than she was off and got shit on a lot by the judges, Simon in particularly very unfairly. I will never forget Simon's idiotic comments about "Here You Come Again," which was one of the best vocals of that season. Such a bitch. |

Carly did get too much shit from the judges, specifically Simon. I hate it when he acts like a dumb fuck and says things like The Beatles' "Blackbird" is just about a bird, as he did when Carly covered it. It's like he's being deliberately obtuse just to shoot someone down. Just when Carly would pick up some momentum, comments like that would set her back and she'd start to over think (and over sing). Maybe Didi will be able to sidestep some of those problems, especially if she has the right amount of self-confidence.

I believe Simon to be a smart man so he has to be doing shit like that on purpose. There's no way Simon thinks "Blackbird" is just a stupid song about a bird and if he does well then he truly is a moron.
So far I don't think he's said anything nearly that stupid to Didi. The cat screeching thing was inaccurate imo but at least it won't confuse her. Katie I think is the one who is getting some very confusing and stupid comments but that's fine by me, I hope they fuck her over and she gets the boot soon. In any case Simon is very calculated, he says things to get a certain reaction out of the audience and/or the contestant. He wants to affect people, and yeah stupidity like that only serves to purposely take someone down for no apparent reason. "Blackbird" was really beautiful and his reaction to it was beyond stupid. |

I'm totally getting lezzie vibes from all these Siobhan/Didi pics. Not being funny, I really am.

Siobhan I think has a boyfriend but the emotionally unstable, Jewish godd.ess could still be a lesbian, well I guess Siobhan could be too but I don't think so.
