AI: Hollywood Week Favorites

• Matt Giraud – sounds like Elliot Yamin with amazing piano skills.  Tonight he had my favorite performance of the season thus far.
  
• Jamar Rogers – has little Pharrell vibe which is always a good thing for me.  Not sure he has to vocal chops to carry him into the finals though.
  
• Danny Gokey – The Robert Downey Jr. look a like has had strong performances every time out thus far.  His charm and sob story will likely land him a spot in the top 10.
  
• Anoop Desai – The only other Indian to make the big show was Sanjaya..and we all know how that ended.  With the voice, the frattiness and had the guts to sing Bobby Brown Anoop should fare much better.
  
• Lil Rounds – Can pull off the power ballads and has a bit of a Fantasia vibe to her.  The judges have already heaped much praise on her but we’ll have to wait to see if that’s indeed a blessing or a curse.
  
• Anne Marie Boskovich – My favorite female in the competition right now.  Reminds me a bit of Katherine McPhee but a little less polished which works for her.
  
• Ju’Not Joyner  - Don’t know about the spelling of his name but he has a soulful voice and an ADORABLE son!
  
• Michael Sarver – Anyone who’s official title is roughneck and can pull off an O-Town song is great in my book (ignore first dude in video).
  

It’s pretty evident that I think once again there is more talent in the guys but of course that could just be an issue of airtime.  Can’t wait to see the top 36 revealed tomorrow!

Sidenote – someone needs to put Tatianna out of her misery – a tranquilizer dart to the neck ought to do it.
