MJG: A first look at the boys

Mary Jane, the Idol newbie:

This is my maiden voyage on the American Idol express. After six seasons of all the hype and hoopla, I decided to get on board.

So far, so good. Ive enjoyed the audition shows and even find myself kinda liking Ryan Seacrest. And after Tuesdays episode featuring the 12 guys, Ive got my three favorites male contestants.

First, shy little 17-year-old David. That kid can sing. Plus, hes poised and has a great presence on stage. And just how sweet is he when hes not singing? Did you see him elbow Seacrest in an aw-shucks move up there on stage? If Opie Taylor could sing, he would be this guy. Love, love, love him.

Second, the dreadlock guy, Jason Castro. Hes got a different sound and also has a great presence on stage. A strong contender.

Third, my favorite favorite, Michael Johns, the Aussie. Talk about the whole deal talent, good looking, great presence and a tremendous sex appeal. As Randy Jackson would say, hes got it going on, Dog.

The two weakest links at this point are Jason Yaeger, who sings well but is more suited to singing in a Mormon show choir, and Luke Menard, who was totally unimpressive. Chikezie is right behind in the soon to go category.

My personal vote for the two most annoying and most deserving to be immediately booted are David Cook (the tie and hair are just too much) and Garrett Haley, the ghostly Peter Frampton look-alike.

I can already tell my little crush on Simon is only going to turn to all out infatuation by mid-season. I love, love, LOVE that guy. If I want it sugar coated, Ill have a bowl of Frosted Flakes. Simon stays on track its about who can be the next recording star. He was right when he told Peter Frampton to get out of the attic and into the sun. And when Simon smiles hes got it going on, Dog.
