I am an Idol fanatic. I love to watch the show, review the show, make my predictions and follow the performers through their journey. But this year......I am confused. I don't understand why they are Fast Tracking it the way they are! Because of all the weird changes this year I have decided to start at this point...
Must start with Keith. The judges. I am a HUGE fan of Keith. This lineup. Errrr.....well, Keith anyway. I've said it before so sorry if I sound redundant, but J.Lo is just TOO nice. There is no fireworks or drama. Just unicorns fluffing rainbows. And albeit, we all enjoy a good warm fuzzy.....Rainbow Fluffing Unicorns = BORING. Mr. Connick Jr. brings a little sass.....a few laughs.....but mostly just something pretty to look at. (Though the fact that some people have no idea who he is cracks me up....
I know that I am a few episodes behind, (I will explain why later!) but I am just bout to hit play on my PVR and reveal the top 13. Along with my opinions. And predictions. We shall see.
So, without further ado.........THIS is One Broad's Blog..........and THIS is her Idol review.

Top 5 Guys...

Good choices. I am glad to see that mister "OK singer, but has the look" is not there. That really got my blood boiling when I heard the judges say that about Spencer Lloyd. This is American IDOL. Not America's next top model....and I for one am an unhappy Idol fan that he has come this far, based on his looks.
*RANT OVER* (for now)
I think my number one top pick so far is Jessica Meuse. But I am also a fan of Alex Preston, Dexter Roberts & Caleb Johnson. I am all about the rockers this year :) But lets see if anyone changes my mind!
Let's get on with the first performance of the night! The judges now have 3 wild cards to put through, rounding off the top 13.
First up is...
C.J. Harris...
Meh. Lots of flat, lots of sharp, little to no emotion. Clearly America loves him though.....but if it were up to me, I would say Farewell C.J.
Next up to sing...
Jena Irene...
The sudden start of waving hands in the background made me laugh. But wow, she is awesome tonight! Great song choice, lots of big notes......hope she goes through after that! Nice sing Jena, not Jenna!
Third to perform tonight...
Spencer Lloyd. Boo. Hiss. Fast forward. Next...
Bria Anai...
And she sings the most over-sung song of the show.....I swear we hear this song at least once every single season. And she does NOT sing it well. Way to big for her. I say No to Bria. Seriously, my cat meowed at her last note. That can't be good.
Final singer tonight, singing for their life...
Kristen O'Conner...
A little rough around the edges, but at least she brought something. I like her voice but I don't think this was the right song...we shall see.
Of the choices, I would put the Jena, Kristen & C.J. PLEASE don't put Spencer through judges...I will not watch the rest of the season if you do.
Yahoooooo! They listened ;) Loved the little "K.O." joke by Harry. See.....funny.
Over and out for this episode, sorry it was so long......but it's my blog and I'll blab if I want to ;)
PEACE!

P.S.
You're welcome :)
For some reason, saying that over and over makes me think of Vegas. I suppose they hear that a lot....
Anyway, I spent some time in my craft room tonight and managed to do ONE challenge.......not quite as productive as I was hoping but my mojo is slowly coming back :)
I played along with the week 3 sketch posted over at Verve Stamps and this is my final card! I {HEART} this one a lot........I don't know if it will ever leave me.
I am not sure yet if I will be doing another one tonight, I am getting awfully sleepy. Or I want to go back to playing the Sims. 1 or the other :)
Thanks for popping by!

Hi friends! Happy New Year and Merry Christmas while I am at it! Boy, am I late on that one, 'eh? ----->>>> and in case you had any doubt that I was Canadian until now, that pretty much just summed it up for you!
Life has changed for us again. Never a dull moment in the Davis world :) We have moved into our own place again now, in the city. I am working full time as a Safety Admin at a local company and Mister D is about 1/3 of the way through his apprenticeship hours already. At this rate he will be going to school in April and a Journeyman by May! Pretty exciting for us :)
We found a great deal on a nice little townhouse in the north end, not too far from where we lived when we were here before. It's cute, cozy and nicely updated. And the rent is cheap. (Well, cheap for the city anyway!)
We bought a second vehicle, it became necessary once I started working, and we are both in opposite ends of the city. It's just a little Tiburon, great on gas and makes Mister D feel "young again" :)
Our fur babies are finally home with us now too, Kiki has grown lots and is probably the sweetest bratiest kitten I have had yet. She needs to help. With everything. And be on the counter. ALL THE TIME. Dee is still my big fat black cat, who loves to sit in my craft room with me and snuggle all the time. I love our fur brats :)
I am so excited that Idol has begun again!! I can't wait to follow this season and plan to blog about it along the way.....we'll see how it goes. I don't generally start reviewing and posting until we get down to the live shows, so for now I shall enjoy the auditions and drool over Keith. Who is here playing tonight. And I am at home blogging. *SIGH*
Anyway, that's an update for now. I hope I still have some readers left out there! I am off to craft :)

Time for another update! It is a freezing cold day here in Alberta, with the windchill it is registering in at -34 right now. That is way too cold for my liking......other than running to the office this morning, I have had an "AT HOME" day! Right now I am getting to work in my craft room, making my first Door Hanger by request for a special birthday boy!
Tomorrow we are celebrating Aiden's 5th birthday...I can't believe he is already turning five! Why do kids have to grow up so darned fast?!? His mommy has a fun home party planned for him and all his little friends and this afternoon we spent the afternoon getting ready for it, decorating, filling the pinata, and getting food ready. I know that tomorrow will be a blast!
Mister D is hard at work on his apprenticeship and loving it so far. He is hoping to head to school in April and should be a journeyman Pickertruck operator in July-ish. He is anxious to carry on to mobile crane after that.
Monday I start my full time job in the office, working as an office administrator for a local company. I am excited to start and get back out into the world of grown ups and feel productive. Can't wait for the paycheques too, of course!
Creative Xpressions is busy as well, and I am loving that too. I will have time to create and fill orders in the evenings and on weekends again and am excited for some weddings I have coming up! I am currently working on two birthday parties as well!
That's about all that is new to report today......the weekend will be busy and our next new routine will begin Monday morning bright and early! I have to be in the office for 8AM and with a 45-60 minute commute my days are about to get crazy :)
Chow for now.....I shall get back to my ink!

It's time for another SALS Sketch challenge and I am FINALLY back in the game! I haven't been able to do my cards for awhile, because we have been moving so much. But, we are settled and I am stoked to re-join the team!
This time around we have TWO awesome sponsors, Kenny K & Whoopi Daisy!! Make sure you head over and check them out if you haven't seen their awesome digis yet!
Come on over to Seems a Little Sketchy and check out the sketch for this challenge!! Here is my card for a little inspiration...
Hope you have a chance to join us! Let me know if you do, so I can see your card!!
A day and a half later, and I am back! HAHA! I ended up making a set of cards using the #68 sketch, and I love them. The color combo is so pretty and I really love the layout too! Anyone else heading back into the archives and joining me on a mission to re-create the Mojo sketches?!
Here is my set of cards I finished up using Sketch #68!!
Here is a few other sets I have ready to go as well! I am late starting this year, but back in action!!
The day is young and I am getting ready for a craft sale on Tuesday night, so I am glued to my craft room chair today! We shall see what else I get finished up before Tuesday...
Thank goodness for sketch challenges. Honestly! It is a blistery morning here again in Alberta, and I have been sitting in my scrap room for about 2 hours now, and made NOTHING. I decided to browse some challenge sites I heart, and was reminded of Mojo Monday. Love their sketches! And so.....I decided to go back to week 1, and do them all from the very beginning.
BUT......the earliest sketch I can find is from week 68.....there is actually a 2009 Sketchbook made that I found, and so I shall start there.
And just in case anyone wants to play along with me, here is the link to the Mojo Monday 2009 Sketchbook.
You're welcome.
:)
