It’s quite obvious that I have a thing for cute young men in their 20’s who have accents. There’s foxy Brit Ed Westwick from Gossip Girl, and even though he’s just a few months away from turning 30, how can you resist American Idol’s Michael Johns’ sexy Aussie accent? Well, the latest to be added to the list is Ben Barnes. I learned today thanks to Just Jared that Ben was once in the UK boy band, Hyrise.

Check out this video of Ben Barnes performing with Hyrise on the UK television show Eurovision in 2004.

Michael Johns from American Idol singing Total Eclipse of the Heart with The Dan Band. I can totally see this video going viral. Freaking hilarious. I love MJ!

I am so happy that David Cook won AI last night. This was probably the most emotional winning moment AI has ever had. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a contestant break down like that. He sooo deserved it. I have to admit that I thought David Archuleta had it in the bag, though. His fans did too. That is the smuggest (is that a real word?) bunch fans I’ve ever encountered on the AI boards. Don’t worry Archies. Disney will snatch him up and he’ll probably get his own tv show and become the next Hannah Montana or whatever. Little Archie will be fine. But I’ll be buying Michael Johns CD. How freaking hot was he last night. OMGZ.

Bottom 3: Carly Smithson, Kristy Lee Cook and Amanda Overmyer. Amanda Overmyer eliminated!

I’m so excited Michael Johns is in top 10 and will be going on the AI tour! I can’t wait to see him perform LIVE. I hope they announce the tour dates soon. I know the tickets usually go on sale sometime in May so I’m guessing they will announce the tour dates sometime mid to late April. How sweet was his reaction when Ryan told him he was in the top 10. Very heartfelt and genuine.

WTF with Carly in the bottom 3? I always wonder if the bottom 3 are the true bottom 3. I bet they throw in a good person just to add drama. I just don’t see Carly being in the bottom 3. If that was really how the votes went then her fans need to wake up.

I can’t believe we’ve got another week of Kristy. Ugh.

The fact that I keep forgetting Syesha when I do my polls is not a good sign.

Wow. What a snoozer. Why they did Beatles songs again this week is just beyond me. I usually break my recap down by contestant but tonight was so bad that I just don’t have the strength to do it.

I do want to touch on a few things, though.

David Archuleta was not that good tonight. He bored me to tears. They way the judges fall all over him just puzzles me. If he wins how are they going to market this kid? To the tweens and teens? I don’t think so because he is so old fashioned. Will they buy his music? He’s not pop to me at all. And he has the personality of a doorknob. Of course, there’s the grandma set who want to just pinch him because he’s cute like a 4 year old. That alone just creeps me out.

David Cook was ok but I agree with Simon that he looked smug during his song and that it wasn’t as good as he [David] though it was. I was like look at him… he thinks he’s the shit. Did not like that voice effect he did at all.

Michael Johns got creamed by the judges. How disappointing since he is my fave. I will admit that he did hit one bad note but it was not nearly as bad as they made it out to be. The man has talent and crappy Beatles song or not you just can’t deny it. I hope that Michael will hurry up and pick the right damn song so they’ll all just shut up. They expect so much from him and in their opinion he is not living up to it.

The other 8? Boring, boring, boring.

I pray Kristy Lee Cook is the next to go.

Syesha Mercado. Sang “Got To Get You Into My Life.??? Not bad. Just not good. Boring and forgetable.

Chickezie. Sang “She’s a Woman.??? I have to say that I absolutely LOVED Chickezie’s performance. So happy that he got to have a his “moment”. I think he gained a lot of new fans last night.

Ramiele Malubay. Sang “In My Life.??? Major snoozefest.

Jason Castro. Sang “If I Fell.??? Sigh. It’s really hard to NOT like Jason but I wasn’t blown away. He’s cute and has TONS of fans so he’s going to be around for a good long while.

David Cook. Sang “Eleanor Rigby.??? Just wasn’t feeling it at all. It’s almost like he’s trying too hard. But the judges loved it so what do I know. Also, I do not find him attractive in the least. What? I’m a fangirl and I like cute boys. He is just not cute to me. Geesh.

Brooke White. Sang “Let It Be.??? Brooke was good but again I was bored too tears!

David Hernandez. Sang “I Saw Her Standing There.??? Ick. Not good at all.

Amanda Overmeyer. She slurred her way through the entire song. Horrible!

Michael Johns. Sang “Across the Universe.??? I loved it. Yes, I’m a fan but I thought he sang this perfectly. I am worried about Michael though. He still hasn’t had his “stand out” performance while others have. He’s not gaining any new fans that I can tell. I spend a lot of time on various Idol fan forums and this is just what I’m seeing.

Kristy Lee Cook. Sang “Eight Days a Week??? country style. God. Do I have to even say it? Horrid!

David Archuleta. Sang (sort of) “We Can Work It Out.??? OK, let’s see.. He forgot the words and he was flat and pitchy. Forgetting the lyrics during the final would be “The Kiss Of Death” for anybody else but little Davey isn’t going anywhere. That was one of the worst performances in Idol history in my book. And he even had the Pimp Spot (his 2nd time). What a waste! And yes, Archie fangirls, I know he was sick last week. No excuse. Suck it up.

My personal bottom 3? Syesha, Kristy, and Amanda with Kristy going home.

Overall, I am really happy with the Top 12. I have to admit that I am totally shocked that Danny Noriega didn’t make it. I really thought he would be around for a few more weeks simply because of the whole “Sanjaya Factor” he has going on and all. I wanted Asia’h over Kristy. Kristy is beyond boring to me. Was thrilled that Michael Johns made it. LOVE HIM. Yummy!

Was thrilled to see Robbie go but shocked about Alaina. I think America got it wrong. Amanda Overmyer is horrible! It should have been her.
