idol fever part ii

What I said the last time about Sly's fans being quiet? I have to take that back. Yesterday at the indoor stadium rehearsal, they were swarming the entrance, and when my friend walked past and flash Sly's 'Rock On' hand signal or whatever you call it, they started screaming and going 'Sly rocks!!!' (punctuated by more screams). But that wasn't the end of it. Later,when Sly and Taufik passed the entrance, the fans' screams could be heard way down the corridor.

We spent four hours sitting around in the stadium doing nothing but watching the rehearsal and getting our ears blasted by Sly's "It's My Life" (He choked during the rehearsal - but even if it happens today he'll still get the votes!) and Taufik's 'Superstition'. Taufik is way way better. Sly screams too much, and his version of "I dream " is so weak! Actually, if anyone's going to be watching the finals tonight, I think the only nice parts are the group songs. The group medley, Britney's "Stronger" and "That's What Friends are For". As much as the songs are kinda cheesy, I think the group has chemistry. And energy. Man, they have so much of it it's scary.

Leandra is quite the Duracell bunny, even when they had to do the medley three times over. Jeassea is the hottest, it's a pity she got voted out so fast. David was wearing some red Kappa sweater and bright orange fireman's pants-how more beng can he get? Christopher looked so nondescript - black polo shirt, jeans, glasses. Maia is so tiny, and has too many tattoos for such a small surface area. Olinda spends most of her time alone in the room on the phone, gets along best with Christopher, Leandra and Jeassea. Her 'future husband' does not and will never exist. But she's nice. Daphne was sick yesterday but she neither looked or sounded it on stage. No one wants to take pictures with Jerry.

Tonight's going to be quite a ride.
