Top 10 BOYS (Week 2)

Time for week 2. Leave a comment to this post ranking these contestants 1-10 giving 10 points to the person you think is MOST likely to be voted out. It is a tight race so pick carefully.

Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to Garrett and Colton. You guys should totally come back next year when you turn thirteen and you might have a chance. One sad note about Mr. Haley, I totally understood what Simon was saying about him needing to get out of the house a bit more.

There are no big updates this week except for a little bit of info about our friend David Hernandez. I always thought he looked a little uncomfortable on stage, and now we might know why. He doesn't have his shirt off.

Here is a picture of him working at BURN, a gay club in Arizona.


CHIKEZIE EZE
I am still trying to picture the moment that Chikezie looked in the mirror last week and thought "Man, this outfit looks cool. I am so ready to walk out in front of millions of people." His performance was bad enough, but his sass talking cemented his demise. He will have to have a huge turnaround to make it through the next couple of weeks.

DANNY NORIEGA
I thought that Rufus Wainwright's mini-me actually did a decent job with that Elvis song last week. I am not saying that I enjoyed it. It was a little "showy" for me - not that there is anything wrong with that. He now has the endorsement of Vote For The Worst - which might not mean anything since they couldn't get Amy Davis through.

DAVID ARCHULETA
Although his performance was a little cheesy last week and I got a little tired of "Oh - Gee whiz guys" attitude - it seemed clear that he wasn't going to be voted out anytime soon. If this week is High School Musical week, he has it in the bag.


DAVID COOK
I totally forgot about this guy already. I'll bet after the Jason Castro performance, old Davy will want to pull out his own guitar to show how talented he is. Like I said earlier, he will unfortunately be compared to Michael Johns - which is like comparing Rob Thomas to Michael Hutchence.


DAVID HERNANDEZ
This guy is like a young, Mexican, pre-election Bob Dole with a good voice (if you like that kind of singing). His performance is so dull that you wonder if he actually has a personality. The good news for him is that if he gets the flu, he can just put up a cardboard cut-out of a La Bamba era Lou Diamond Phillips and play a CD and we won't know the difference.

JASON CASTRO
Dreadlocked John Travolta pretty much secured his ticket to the top 12 with his surprise performance last week. He will definitely get the vote from all of the people who are upset about the presence of professionals this year.

JASON YEAGER
Pepe Le Peu stunk last week. He was more promising than Luke though. He could surprise us this week if it happens to be Showtunes week.

LUKE MENARD
Oh Luke. You had better hope that there are a lot of deaf women voting this week. Maybe this week's theme will be "Songs from the Chippendale Dancers" and he will get to take his shirt off. He just might have a chance.

MICHAEL JOHNS
Our Aussie friend here is easily one of the top two vocalists. I think his biggest problem is that he might be too professional. He won't pander to the camera holding up stupid numbers with his fingers begging for your votes. He is too cool to act like he really wants it. Unfortunately, that might actually mean something to all of the text-voting 13 year olds.

ROBBIE CARRICO
Doesn't look like Robbie is going anywhere anytime soon. By that I mean he isn't going to be voted off soon AND he is not going to make it to the next level. He is stuck in musical purgatory - but that is the price you pay (or one of them) when you sign up for a Lou Pearlman type vocal group.
