What The Jorge?

Amanda Overmyer was OK and boring. Thank God for hair stylists and costume specialists, because she would still look scary.

Kristy Lee Cook sang “You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away” and it seemed like a beautiful song if she didn’t mess it all up, the last note was good, but that’s about it. It’s too bad because she is completly georgeous. It didn’t seem like she was connecting with the song, almost like she didn’t want to sing it. Paula comments she looks georgeous as well, but what does that have to do with her performance and singing.

If I didn’t love David Archuleta as much as my puppy, I wouldn’t comment so much on how much of a dorky goober he is. He sang “The Long Winding Road” and my heart was beating out of my chest because I was hoping he wouldn’t forget his lyrics again this time. I like him either way, he’s got the raspy voice that just get’s me. I love David!

Paula still annoy’s me when she tries to give her opinion on the contestants. She stumbles and staggers over her words and it just seems like she is trying to pull “smart words: out of her butt to make it dramatic, and she comes out looking drunk.

“A Day In The Life” was sang by Michael Johns. I liked it, I wouldn’t of minded seeing him sing something else. He kind of reminds me of a John Mayer type singer, he’s got that smooth voice. Not to mention, he’s very, very nice to look at. Get naked! (Oh crap, I’m typing out loud again!)

Again Paula, you either say “I liked it” or “I didn’t like it” How hard is that? She claimed that Michael John’s performance was not up to par due to the fact that he was still getting used to the ear monitors. Too bad Michael was actually not wearing one. Good call Paula! There’s just proof there that Paula pulls her compliments out of her butt. Sounds like she reached up in there and didn’t find anything.

Brooke White came out singing “Here Comes The Sun” and it was good, but boring, if that’s possible. Either way she has great personality and she should be back next week, if she cuts down on the talking.

Next to perform is my future husband, David Cook with his hot guitar singing “Day Tripper” and since he is my future husband, I’m going to be partial and say he was awesome. Love you baby! I’m going to go wipe the drool off my lip now since it’s a commericial break now.

Carly Smithson sang “Blackbird” and it was awesome. I’m claiming her as my favorite female performer on the show. I don’t think Simon liked what she had to say back about him not liking the song but someone needed to stick it to Simon on that comment.

David Castro sang “Michelle” He’s so nerdy looking, and with those dreads, he looks like a nerdy islander. His voice sounds good, but it’s so pop-ish that he could be the long lost fourth Jonas Brother.

“Yesterday” was sang by Syesha Mercado. This was my favorite performance of the night!

“I’ve Just Seen a Face” was sang beautifully by Chickezie. He’s got a great R&B voice. Then he played the harmonica and the pace of the song changed and I didn’t really like it after that with the exception of a few notes. 

Ramiele is so small and cute, she sang “I Should of Known Better” She had such attitude when she was singing this song, nodding her head around and such. It was nice, a lot better than last week, but there were still better contestants than her earlier in the show. She’s like a mini Tila Tequila, but with a better voice.

Jorge’s Pick of the Week

Best: Carly Smithson

Worst: Amanda Overmyer

I love this show so much. I was referred by one of my friends at work to watch this show for many months. And with my current time restraints, I never got around to it.

I just recently I stumbled upon it because there was nothing else on TV and I ended up watching one episode, and another, and another.  I loved it and I was absolutely hooked. It’s one of those shows that seriously makes me laugh at loud. And for a person like me, which usually holds things like that in, it’s a Godsend.

On Monday nights I find myself getting hooked on watching “Paranormal State” on A&E. The channel shows new episodes every Monday night and then a few re-runs afterwards. I end up watching every waking, addicting moment.

The show focuses on a group of college students from Penn State (and the leader of the group is real easy on the eyes, maybe it’s the nerdy thing?) that are interested in ghosts and the paranormal. They formed the group to help people find out if their house was haunted and do some research to find out who or what the spirit once was, then hopefully set them free and let them rest in peace.

This shoe is a lot creepier than “Most Haunted” or any of those other shows that are about ghost hunters. Those shows are mostly people saying “I felt a hand grab me” yeah, well I’m at work and I sometimes feel a pull at my hair, claims like that just don’t mean anything on TV.

On Paranormal State, these people investigate the haunting and dig into history to make a connection. One episode had a couple that had just got married and the husband was being haunted by a woman, this “woman spirit” was making his wife sick. The team researched into enough information to find out that the husband had found an urn around the time that they got married and put it away in his barn until someone claimed it. The team took the urn and had a professional look over the remains, which coincidentally enough were that of a woman because they found women’s jewelry within the ashes in the urn. Everyone gets together to give the urn a proper burial ceremony and the haunting stop happening.
