Lil Rounds - 23 year old , Memphis , Tenn _____________________________________________________

The third group of three finalists headed to the Top 12 : Lil Rounds , the smooth 23 year old mother of three from Memphis , Tenn . Scott Maclntyre , the soulful 23 year old piano player Scottdale , Ariz , and Jorge Nunez , the charming 20 year old college student from Carolina , Puerto Rico . The trio received the most votes Tuesday . The show's four judges seemed in agreement with the viewer votes this week . They apparently didn't want to be without Rounds, who received the biggest endorsment after singing Mary J.Blige's-Be Without You . The panel also lauded Maclyntre and Nunez , who broke into tears Tuesday after his rendition of elton John's-Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me . At the end of the show, the judges also announced the semifinalist who will get a second shot at the Top 12 . They are Von Smith , Jasmine Murray , Ricky Braddy , Megan Corkrey , Tatiana Del Toro , Matt Girauld , Jesse Langseth and Anoop Desai will return to stage for the wild round Thrusday .

American Idol results : Allison Iraheta , Adam Lambert dan Kris Allen advance

( TQ - Miroulle Obit for nice pics )

Three more singers joined the "American Idol" Top 12 :

( Allison Iraheta, Adam Lambert and Kris Allen )

After Wednesday's performanve show, Iraheta and Lambert seemed like shoe-ins for the Top 12-even though some fans criticized Lambert for oversinging.

Allen's spot in the Top 12 was somewhat a suprise, as he received little air time priorto semifinals. But his controlled,vocallysound take on Michael Jackson's - Man in the mirror gave an edge on a night when the majority of singers chose songs too big or too small for their talent levels.

Now , the Top 12 includes six singers :

Alexis Grace , Danny Gokey , Michael Sarver , Allison Iraheta , Adam Lambert and Kris Allen .

American Idol Semis Week II ( prediction )

Adam Lembert

Jasmine Murray

Matt Giraud

Megan Corkrey

Here's my take on this week's crop of contestants .

This week just has to better than last Tuesday's suck-fest. I'm counting on beig entertained by Adam Lambert, Kris Allen, Matt Giraud, Megan Corkrey, Mishavonna henson and, of course, Nick Mitchell and Jasmine Murray ...

______________________________________________________

Adam Lambert - Adam, who has appeared in various theater productions including Wicked in LA, had a fan base coming to Idol, and it's been growing ever since . His highly theatrical style, even in tamped down version for middle Americawill make him a polarizing contestant from get go, I suspect. The producers love that, so I predict they'll advance him to the top 12 as a wild card if he doesn't wi the popular vote this week .

Jasmine Murray - Jasmine has had tons of screen time with lots of love from judges throughout the competition. I predict she'll be give a good performance slot, and if she doesn't sing well, Simon will plead with the audience to give her a second chance, or some such pimping. She's got a good shot at being highest female-getter this week.

Matt Giraud - Matt has been steadily gaining a fan base since his initial audition in Louisville. He sealed the deal with his soulful interpretation of "Georgia"in Hollywood. I would not be surprised if Matt headed stright to the Top 12 this week.

Megan Joy Corkrey - The judges adored Megan's unusual, quirky vocals during her audition. But will her talent translate onto the Idol stage? If she picks the right song, and sings it well, she could be a dark horse contender for the Top 12. Or she could flop spectacularly head back home to Utah .

The 36 finalist of American Idol 8

_______________________________________________________________

The first group of 12 semifinalists from American Idol's Top 36 took the stage last night durig the first live broadcast of the Fox reality competition's eighth season . Were Malaysia TV's , Astro air via Star World .

Singing hits from the Billboard hot 100, the first group consisted of 12 finalists .

"Now is really your shot. You've got to blow us away vocally,"judge Randy jackson said at the beginning of the broadcast. This is it, the public seeing you the first time. You've got to be in to really win it tonight."

Unfortunaetly the judges felt it was largely a night of missed opportunities for first group, some of whom also had a hard time finding their identity as performers ________________________________________________________________

In thats case , I like to watch the performance by

Ricky Braddy - A Song for You , were Randy said : "This is what I'm thinking about right here.This I feel is the start of Season 8 right here. I think we've got more talent this year than we've ever had and dude, that was unbelievable right there. Beautiful tone, nice voice, the way to jump it off! Thats the jump off Season 8 right there."

Alexis Grace - I Never Loved a Man ( The Way I Love You ) , Kara Said:"The genine is out of the bottle with you.You released something inside, and it has been a pleasure to watch you come out of shell. First girl that steppedup in frontof us that first time in the auditio city, it's not the girl tonight. It's a new girl and I love it. I'm digging. Youdid a great job."

Anoop Desai - Angel of Mine , Paula Said: "The great thing with you Anoop is America has connected with you in a large way already. This is a different side of you. I think wheather you were a little sharp or not, I think that you have that Brian McKnight feel to your voice. That's a compliment. I belive Aoop Dog is here for a while...Hopefully."

and Danny Gokey - Hero , Simon Said : "Back to the realworld. I thought it was good. It wasn't fantastic , it was good. The end part was great, the beginning was okay. The arrangement was a bit heavy-handed. You are very, very good singer. I like you,I'm just buying the hype right now."

Recently , the first three finalist of Season Eight are Alexis Grace , Michael Sarver and Danny Gokey .

Suasana Sejuk Yang Amat

Pemandangan diluar rumah

Hampir empat bulan tiada entry , mahupun menjenguk di blog ini . Setelah ibu saudara yang berada diluar negara memberi tahu , bila lagi Rann akan untuk buat cerita . Iyalah dia sedih tahun-2008 tidak dapat balik , kerana masalah ekonomi dan berbelanja berhati-hati .

Sempat juga aunty memberitahu bahawa di States , hari-hari di akhbar diceritakan rumah lelong dan asset yang lain . Syukurlah kita di Malaysia ini masih seperti biasa dan masalah ini tidak berlaku .

Sepanjang 4 tidak berada di dalam blog ini , banyak peristiwa telah berlaku . Selain tidak melancong ke Bali sehingga kamera hilang semasa trip holiday di OVC .

Apapun melancong di luar negara banyak memahat peristiwa manis dan tidak akan pernah dilupakan begitu saja .

Ujung Minggu Yang Padat - Buat Marah Pun Ada !

Ramai sekali rakan yang alert pasal 080808 - tapi aku baru prasaan semalam ....tu pun bila baca blog " Tepak Sireh" . Mana tak nya , masa harian sibuk memanjang dengan kerja , buat report , presentation , meeting dan banyak lagi sewaktu dengan nyer .

Kekadang crita pasal sibuk ini .. makan pun boleh lupa ! jangan yang lain-lain lupa sudahlah, nanti susah pula kalo yang lain-lain pun lupa , sebab buat marah :P

Pada hari 080808 -Jumaat , aku bergegas ke KK masa tu dari KM . Lebih kurang 2 jam sampai lah KK , trus saja ke HQ , ada mini discussion pasal SSP Negeri on 30th of August nanti . Sedar tak sedar aku blum makan lagi yang official , nasiblah ada juga menyempat untuk menjamah biskut tiger 2 keping dan cocozee masa di ofic KM .

Masa balik dari HQ aku dapat sms dari Bernadette yang mau ajak dinner , iyalah suda lama tidak jumpa dengan dorang ni . Jadi aku pun text Gumila untuk join sekali . Bernadette ni sebenarnya kerja dengan Sabah Credit Corp. as PA of GM , Gumila pula kerja as Branch Manager of Maybank Jalan Gaya , Kota Kinabalu . Nah! tu pasal mau kumpul makan sama-sama susah sangat arrange , pasal semuanya sibuk selalu . Ehh! lupa pula Rachel pun ada petang tu , dia kerja dengan CIMB , jadi kami berempat lah petang makan .

Apa kata Gumila dari State - Tokyo - Manila - Jakarta...apalagi 1Borneo, ermmm...semua Pizza ! Buat malas kalo Asli - tido , makan Pizza saja :P

Petang tu kita bersurai awal lebih kurang pukul 8.00pm , pasal Bernadette , Gumila dan Rachel nak bergegas ke Wisma Merdeka - mahu tukar rupiah , sal dorang mahu ke Bali nextweek !....nak ikut juga tapi tiket dah habis !!!!

Lepas tu , aku trus balik Marina Court . Mahu memanjakan badan dan tido awal .....krana esok harinya terpaksa awal bangun seawal boleh kerna ada Taklimat dan Awarness dengan produk baru bank . Kalo ikut hati , mahu saja escape tapi tidak boleh . Mana tidaknya , program tu akan bermula dari 8.30am hingga 11.00pm .....letih!

Selesai saja taklimat aku trus balik Marina Court , selepas buat apa yang wajib aku pun kluar cari makan di UpperStar Segama . Jumpa Anne dan Leroy , sembang kejap trus balik dan tidur matiee , bangun pukul 9.00am...tu pun dapat call dari Valantina dan Clarise . Kalo tidak mukin lewat lagi bangunnya . Ahh baru mau plann balik KM , tetiba my sister Salina and her husband , Jack dan Kak Jamm sudah tunggu dibawah dan saja tunjuk siap kereta parking lagi , mahu ajak lunch ramai-ramai di Baba Nyonya Restaurant .....ermm kalo boleh mahu ja marah dorang . Pikir dorang tu , aku nie selapang dorang ....
