My reasons for starting this blog are three-fold. Number one, I am in love with Allen Iverson, period. Number two, I felt like it was time to have an outlet for all the A.I. fans. I have learned, over the years, that being a fan of American Idol pretty much makes you a fan of Allen Iverson and vice versa. Number three, after years of reading this howdy doody looking mother fella's blog,I have come to one conclusion: He is wrong, and I am right. I almost never agree with his Idol opinions and after he ranked Chris Sligh's audition (Really? Is this not a million times better?) as one of the top ten best Idol auditions of all time, I decided he must be stopped. And the best way to stop him, you ask? By writing a blog on my Idol opinions that only people who I share a last name with will read. In addition to my Idol opinions, I will also keep a running tab of Allen Iverson's nightly stats and most memorable quotes in the right hand corner. Could a blog be any better??
So without further adieu, I give you my first Idol Top Ten List:
My Top Ten Favorite Contestants
1. Elliott Yamin
2. Kelly Clarkson
3. Fantasia
4. Carrie Underwood
5. Chris Daughtry
6. Nikko Smith
7. RJ Helton (you know what Dad? RJ is not gay. NOT GAY)
8. Tamyra Gray
9. Bo Bice
10. Chris Richardson
Now, let me explain some of these choices. Elliott Yamin has to be number one on this list because, in my opinion, he had it all. Personality, great attitude, a fantastic life story and most importantly an AMAZING voice. I think it would be impossible not to love him. Now, I know you may be looking at some of my choices and wondering WTF? It is a tradition each year for me to be obsessed with one contestant that Simon loathes and Paula loves (which is so like me since I have a strong dependency to prescription drugs and I also had a string of hits in the 80's). So, that explains Nikko Smith, Chris Richardson and RJ Helton. I will admit, I am actually a little embarrassed about these three, but I don't want to base this blog relationship on lies, I want to be honest with all (two) of you.
As this week goes on I will be bringing you more Top Ten lists to prepare for the 8th season of Idol starting in exactly one week. And don't forget to catch Allen at Portland tomorrow night. GO PISTONS!
As your mother and one of two adoring fans, nice post sweetheart--I would say don't quit your day job but...I do like your style and humor and think you are way too cute and clever for the competition.
ReplyDeleteNice start, keep it going and I can do without the Allen Iverson stuff but I know you do rather like him.
Love,
Mom
Excellent Start! I am a little disappointed that I am not included in your potential fan base but I will give you another opportunity at a proper shout out.
ReplyDeleteI must say that I enter your blog-world with trepidation. I carry no love for one of the AI's (The show) but I do respect the other. You can count on me for hate-filled comments toward the former and man-crush type comments on the latter.
May I suggest that you include a special blog posts, maybe "additional initials of the month" that allow you to post on other pop culture based subjects? I am interested in your humorous take on Amazing Race etc. and you have to be better than that other guy. Good luck and keep writing. I'll be reading.
An awe-inspiring first post and very, very happy to see you writing. I always said you could do this for a living, even if your ideas are a bit whack. Please keep this up. Fans of each AI will be the better for it. For increased readership, you should link to my blog so after people have read my insightful posts, they may decide to look at your site in the chance that, since we're related, it may be good. Think about it.
ReplyDeleteI second K's suggestion for "additional initials of the month". The new AR starts Feb 15th.
