American idol & their judges

This week on American idol is visits the Michael Jackson songbook, and unfortunately, it did not go so well for some of the contestants. Others like Danny Gokey and Adam Lambert, while they've been overhyped by the judges, it's hard to deny their talents. Lil Rounds and a teen with that weird hairdo like Allison are also extremely talented, and another cutie, Anoop Desai, who in reality does not have the most flawless vocal, but he was definitely among the most exciting and energetic contestant. Definitely needs to concentrate on hitting all his notes, but there's no denying his swagger, appeal, and stage presence make Anoop a serious threat, even if he had to rely on the judges to get him to the top, which I think will end after tonight. His 'beat it' was a total mess and even Paula have no positive feedback for him, unfortunately! The suspense builds!

Being an asian living in the US, I find the ebonic language or slang used by one of the Judges, Randy Jackson on American Idol pretty hilarious and at times I was lost, not being able to understand what he was saying! To me it's those kind of slang used by thugs, gangsta wanna-be's, kids and ghetto-dwellers, ebonics and ghetto lingo like "phat," "hood," "bounce," dawg" "SUP" and "hoe" (sp.)? Other words and expressions that became widespread in the '80s like "word up," "chillin'," "home slice," "homie," "homeboy" and "fly"? Last week on American Idol Randy was using word ending in 'WHAT'! I have noticed that he have used it a few times to compliment some contestants and it is probably his new ebonic slang of the night! As for Simon Cowell's, personally I think he is notorious for his bluntness and controversial criticisms about contestants and their singing abilities. I am sure the contestants would appreciate his feedbacks to get them through the top 3.
