Amanda Overmyer | Indiana American Idol finalist goes home

The final Hoosier leave the stage of American Idol finishing in 11Th place overall. It was a good run for Amanda Overmyer who brought something differ net to the stage of American Idol. We should all learn from her and the other American Idols. If you have a dream or goal, you need to take a chance and go for it. There is nothing worse than looking back in life knowing you didn't take a chance to achieve your dreams. Congratulations Amanda on making it the furthest of all the Indian American Idols. The other remaining American Idols are:
David Archuleta
Brooke White
Ramiele Malubay
Jason Castro
Chikezie Eze
Carly Smithson
Kristy Lee Cook
Michael Johns
David Cook
Syesha Mercado

American Idols | Amanda Overmyer Moves On

Amanda Overmyer makes it past another round of American Idol eliminations. Despite her many critical comments made over her clothing choices and hair style she stays alive for another week. This past week I must admit she looked a bit like Bettlejuice in those striped pants, but that's what I like about her. She's not affraid to be herself and just goes out and enjoys the moment. We'll have to wait and see what type of wild and crayz outfit she comes out in this week. Hot pink perhaps? I suspect she will make it atleast another week or two, but beyond that is anyone's guess.

Amanda Overmyer Makes Final 12 On American Idol

Much as I suspected Amanda Overmyer continued on to make the final 12 American Idol contestants. Unfortunately the other Hoosier, Luke Menard was put back on the bus to Indiana. If you have read my other post this wasn't exactly a shocker. I was surprised to see Asia’h Epperson go home, I thought she was a lock for the top 8. It just goes to show you never know how the voting will go on American Idol. Danny Noriega and Katy Malloy's departure didnt come as much of a surpise to me. Both were just fair performers compared to the others.
Final 12 finalists that move into the next round of American Idol:

Amanda Overmyer - Our last hope for Indiana!!!

Amanda Overmyer Nails It

Simon's reaction to Amanda Overmyer's renditon of Joan Jett's popular song "I Hate Myself For Loving You" was " You nailed It!" all three judges on this weeks American Idol believed it was the type of song she should be singing and she did it well. Finally an Indiana American Idol shines. With that type of performance Amanda Overmyer can overcome the recent scandals with her DUI as well as her unusual hair style. Overall the entire cast of female American Idol finalists did a much better job last night. I personally think they put the men to shame. Brooke White had a second nice performance this week singing "Love Is A Battle Field". The so called ringer Carly Smithson also did a very nice job with her version of "I Drove All Night". In general I feel these were the top 3 from last night but the American Idol voters will let me know for sure tonight. Which American Idol female do you think did the best last night?

American Idol Mens Recap

WHAM!!!! Are you kidding me? Luke what in the world were you thinking. Its sad to say but once again the American Idol judges were not impressed with Luke Menard's song selection. "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" was Luke's song of choice for the night and might very well be his last. I hate to say it but he will be standing along side David Cook sweating it out come Thursday night's American Idol show.
David Archuleta, Michael Johns, David Hernandez, and Chikeze should all safely continue to be American Idol Finalists in weeks to come. Lets hope Amanda Overmyer can knock the socks off the judges this week or we may be out of Indiana American Idols
