My own personal thoughts on last night’s American Idol performances….
THE BAD:
Syesha – I was totally disappointed. I love her look (beautiful) and her voice (amazing), but she never connected with the song.
Kristy Lee - OMG, what was the girl thinking? She looked great, but she overdid just about everything. Couldn’t someone, somewhere along the way, have told her, “No, honey. No.”
Amanda – Hated every single second. I also hate that she seems so uninterested in the whole competition. It’s sad that someone like Danny (who was loving every second and would have loved to stay in the competition longer) is out and Amanda’s still around. She doesn’t seem to care if she goes further or goes home. I also hate how ungrateful she comes across. She never says “Thank you” to the judges for any of their (needless) compliments.
THE GOOD:
Brooke – I thought it was her best performance, actually. I’m blown away by anyone who can sing and play an instrument at the same time. She’s such a sweet, lovable girl with such a pure heart. I really like her, but as a Pat Benetar fan I’m just having trouble forgetting what she did to her song last week. The judges loved it, but I nearly choked on my green tea….and choking on green tea isn’t a pretty thing.
Michael Johns – It seems strange putting Michael here, because he’s actually one of my favorites – but if I’m being honest, he wasn’t one of the night’s best. In fact, I’ve already forgotten what he sang! I expected better from one of the strongest contestants.
THE BEST:
Ramiele – The judges blew it – her performance was one of the best. The girl’s vocals are completely flawless. The song was beautiful and she performed it beautifully. They keep saying it’s a singing competition, but when someone gets up there and sings their little butt off, they glaze over. She has one of the strongest, most mesmerizing voices I’ve ever heard. Love her!
Jason Castro – I’d never heard of the song, but I agree with Paula – he sings from the heart and I loved it. He’s one of my favorites and I love his voice.
Carly – Amazing! She was just incredible. I think she, Ramiele, Jason, and David Cook were the best of the night.
David Cook – Incredible performance! His powerful vocals remind me a lot of one of my ALL TIME favorite idols, Chirs Daughtry. Simon was dead on in his comments.
THE SHOCKER:
David Archuleta – I really felt badly for him. It’s tough for someone so young to have to learn and try to connect to an older song so fast. Others, who not only already knew but already frequently performed the songs, had a clear advantage. He forgot the lyrics in at least one spot, but if you go back and listen to the vocals – his voice is great. I just think he really hurt himself last night. His fans will, of course, still vote and still love him, but he might lose a little of the media and judge’s confidence.
He needs a big rebound next week – fortunately for him, he has it in him and I think he’ll blow everyone away.
