Finally, I have seen the last few episodes of My Girlfriend is a Gumiho, after attempting to do so, several times! One of my close friends told me, to beware of the ending. It will cause a tear or two, something that I am never prepared for. It’s the last thing I need after a long day at work, settle down on my couch, and feeling depressed over some tv shows! We paid to get entertained, not to get bullied to tears. Fortunately, it was not that bad.

You know what’s bad? Having to see Stefano left AI and seeing James Durbin jumped on his pal, moments after Stefano, finished his last performance. Tears just came, unstoppable. That is genuinely sad to me. I really felt it. Weird, but its true. Well, no matter what, AI is just a competition; the real journey starts out there. Hoping all will stay true to themselves and do well after AI! And with the final seven cut to final six, then six to five, and later five to four, where am I really? Neither here or there. Kinda lost interest, in a way.

We have James, Scott, Hailey & Lauren. Emm, is this like an equal battle, may not be the case, but who knows? Honestly, I am surprised that Hailey made it this far. No offence, and although she obviously improved in the last few weeks, I thought she just didn’t shine as well, compared to her peers. And James really did wonders when he performed during the Carole King week. That must have been the best of his performance so far. So good, that I was hoping for something similar if not better when he took the stage last week, with not one, but two songs. I liked the second one better than the first, although it was not vocally perfect, but who wouldn’t like James. He showed who he is. A true artist, with vulnerability that we could relate to. He is just so real. And for that, I salute him. As for Scott, the guy with the voice. Although, he probably sounds the same every week, he has grown so much as a performer, and in his own merits. Lauren, she has the voice, but would she go far, after Kelly? And Hailey, I don’t know. The problem I have with her, she is just forgettable. Maybe, I am just hung up on the guys. :)

So, I am still rooting for James & Scott in the final two. And am really hoping that would be the case, and is expecting and hoping for a great FINALE. I mean, after the huge upset most of us suffered when Adam lost, and the sleepy AI a year later, am hoping for a blast this year, before I take off for a short vacation with my family in May.

AI, hope you won’t disappoint me three years in a row :)
