Defending Cristiano Ronaldo
Okay, I don't even know how to begin this post.
Since Day 1, they're keeping their eyes on him. I'm sure we - including me - are normally set our expectations so high for him.

[Mamamia] Recap Top 9: LET'S ROCK, BABE!
Minggu ini ke-9 kontestan yang masih bertahan menyanyikan lagu-lagu bertema pop rock.
Soal warna suara, Selvi juaranya, nyanyi apapun terdengar beda dengan warna suaranya yang berbeda. Selvi membawakan lagu ini dengan cukup baik. Di bagian cepatnya bisa dinyanyikan Selvi dengan sangat baik. Nggak ada kesalahan berarti, walaupun masih belum ada yang istimewa. Kejutan di penampilan ini saat Mama Nendra menyanyikan part dangdutnya.
Di lagu ini, timbre dan tekstur suara Inka yang agak berat dan penuh vibrasi terdengar jelas. Sayangnya, menurut gw lagu ini masih berada di atas kemampuan Inka. Di nada-nada rendah dan sedang, Inka cukup berhasil menyanyikan dengan mulus. Sayangnya di nada-nada tinggi terutama di bagian chorus, Inka terdengar jelas tidak bisa menyanyikan dengan baik. Apalagi versi Mulan yang up-beat ini banyak memiliki nada tinggi dibanding versi original Dewa 19.

[Mamamia] Recap Top 10: Acoustic Nite
These Top 10 girls looked amazing with golden dresses, I've always wanted singing contest finalists wear same/similar dresses when they sing together.
Lagu yang meaning-nya sebenernya pas banget buat Tari. Tapi, sayang lagi-lagi Tari nyanyinya kayak nggak lagi lomba nyanyi. Feel-nya kurang kuat, dan tekniknya berantakan. Nada rendah dan nada tinggi masih hampir selalu pitchy.

[Mamamia] Top 11
Putri - Biarlah (Nidji)
Kostumnya nggak pas. Nyanyinya nggak enak. Pilihan lagu salah dan nggak meng-eksplor kemampuan vokal sama sekali. What else can I say?
This song has performed in Mamamia C'mon Baby, and it was far better than this.

[Creations] Break Me (Finally Fragile)
Cause I can't stand this hurt anymore
I've been through so many heartache
I used to pretend
To be a tough one
But I'm...finally fragile
Can't you see
That I've tried and tried
To survived these tears
But I'm just an ordinary human being
Only slightly before
My self finally broken
So why don't you please
Hurt me once again
Need one more stab on my heart
For me to die peacefully

[American Idol] Audition #4 Orlando: Zero City
We arrived at Orlando as this season's audition stopped in it's 4th city.
And I was a bit disappointed even more to this city, after Chicago.
I don't think any of golden ticket getters from Orlando would end up as a true contender this season, I even doubt they could make it into Top 12 - or 24.
A good daddy, Seth Rollins sang "Someone to Watch Over Me".
He's got a good voice, but I have to see he handles bigger songs to decide how great he is.
Another black male contestant, Jermaine Purifoy performed "Smile".
The judges praised him, Kara called it 'an honest performance'.
I thought it was good, but still far from great. By the way, he's the second Jermaine we'll be watching this season, after Jermaine Sellers from Atlanta, I prefer Sellers than Purifoy.
Anybody misses Blake Lewis?
We've got another beatboxer this season, Jay Stone.
The judges seemed impressed with his beatboxing, but Simon didn't say yes for him.
I thought his rendition of "Ain't No Sunshine" was good. Probably Simon understated him after his beatboxing.
Kristin Chenoweth was the guest judge for Orlando, but only for Day 1.
The judge panel turned into 3 judges formation again since Season 7 with Kara replaces Paula's spot, for Day 2.
I've never heard about Kristin, anyway.
There was a girl named Michelle Delamor who's been featured on AI ads, and featured as 'coming up' audition in this episode, but never appeared.
Damn, I was looking forward to see her audition.
