American Idol Season 9 Top 5

With the finals just around the corner, you fans out there must be rooting for your favorites. This year American Idol isn’t short on talents and the question is always who will be the one to take it all? If you understand what I’m saying and following American Idol through the years, you would have known that the winner doesn’t always bag it all. In fact it’s beginning to look like “hey, you can have the title now but my first album is gonna outsell yours!”.

Being unique is indeed important in the competition, or perhaps any competition. But time and time again, artists are always tested for their consistencies and nowadays we hardly hear anything that might be worth listening 10-20 years (e.g. Police, Queen, Eric Clapton, etc) or even 50 years (e.g. Elvis Presley) from now. Once the novelty wears off and listeners will still fall back to classics. Also nowadays artists take a stroll along money park, live happily ever with their MTV cribs episode and you never hear from them anymore, not many will stay and create good music for a long time. The music industry sure need some passion even though most artists aren’t trying too hard because somewhere down the road their music might just become a classic.

So who’s your favorite to be in the top 5? Here’s my pick:

• Crystal Bowersox
• Casey James
• Lee DeWyze
• Siobhan Magnus
• Michael Lynch

Don’t mind me being bias but I absolutely am a fan of Crystal Bowersox, her performances are incredibly consistent and a joy to look at and of course I hope she wins it… or maybe not. ;)

Here’s my favorite pieces of her performance of Come Together by the Beatles and Midnight Train to Georgia few weeks ago:
