The Boys of American Idol 2007

I watched American Idol today and here's who I think ought to be the final 6 guys to be part of the last 12:

1. Blake Lewis - wouldn't kick him out of bed
2. Chris Richardson - the cutest of all the boys tonight
3. Jared Cotter - could he be Shayne Ward's long-lost brother?
4. Nicholas Pedro - his eyebrows are so "done" they're distracting
5. Rudy Cardenas - cute smile
6. Phil Stacey - cute but married - happily too, it would appear

I'll admit that my choices were not based entirely on the singing (although singing ability was an important consideration for me) but each guy's cuteness factor was also taken into consideration. I think there are more cute guys this season than previously. I don't remember there being more than perhaps 1 or 2 cute guys (to me anyway) in the last few years. Last season, the only cute guys were David Radford and Elliot Yamin. Sorry, Ace Young didn't do it for me at all, regardless of whether the rumours of his being gay were true.

What I really think of Simon Cowell is irrelevant but he did make some valid points about the singing and song choices. Sanjaya's choice was really bad, not to mention his androgynous appearance. I think he should be one of the two guys to be ditched this week. The other guy which ought to be ditched this week should be either Chris Sligh or Sundance Head. Chris Sligh looks like a young Meatloaf and his song choice tonight added to that image. I'd be more inclined to give Chris Sligh another chance next week rather than Sundance Head. I didn't think Sundance did all that well during Hollywood Week and he's very lucky to have made it to the final 24. This really ought to be the end for him.
