Top 11 Perform

Um, last night was awful! Is this what we are really subjected to listen to for the next 2 months? Honestly... a lot of disappointments, including Miley Cyrus as the mentor??? gack.... She hasn't even had a #1 hit, and that was the theme last night. (changed from teen idols last week) Let's discuss -

  1. Lee Dewyze I thought had a lot more charisma than he has showed in week's past... maybe cause he didn't have his guitar on? Whatever it was, his voice is rockin' and is so ready for the radio...
  2. Tim Urban is on my hit list. He is so stiff, boring, and never ever gonna make it in the industry.
  3. Paige Miles,,, what the heck happened to you? You used to know who you were and sing with such confidence. This was the WORST performance by far. She is so history tonight.
  4. Aaron Kelly did a really good job, but he is always singing the power ballad. He wasn't that bad for even having laryngitis and tonsilitis.
  5. Crystal Bowersox of course was the best of the night. She is effortless, but I agree with Ellen. She does need to act like she is accepting all of the fanfare. Maybe she's a shy person,,,? but I don't think she is. I wonder if she's gonna tackle Melissa Etheride at all this season.... wait, has she already? I can't remember.
  6. Mike Lynche was just another big teddy bear ,,, err,,, Ruben Studdard,,, I know he'll go far, but he won't win.
  7. Andrew Garcia is really in need of a serious good performance. I was hoping he would give us one last night, but he sang I heard it through the Grapevine. I am not sure why so many of them chose to sing really old songs and not change anything about them. It really was a blah performance. He's in the bottom 3.
  8. Katie Stevens finally got rid of her beauty pageant-esque style of singing and wardrobe and sang some Fergie. She got into the song and for the first time I felt her. It was her best performance. I'm thinking they need to cut her hair or something.
  9. Loved Casey James last night, even with his ode to Huey Lewis. He's an awesome musician and he is just fun to watch. I wonder how he would be without the guitar though.
  10. Now this one confused me. I thought Didi Benami did really well last night. I like her voice and so what if she was changing up her character. Isn't that what performer's do? I mean Adam Lambert was someone new every single week last season. And Siobhan has been someone different too. They have given her so many different judgements the poor girl is probably second guessing every move she makes instead of just doing what she wants. I hope she figures it out cause I like her.
  11. Siobhan Magnus had a great look last night and was totally comfortable on stage. She has had 3 really powerful weeks with the big scream at the end,,, so next week I'd like to see her tone it down a bit. Her very first performance in the 24 she sang that Chris Isaak song and I fell in love with her then. I think she needs to tone it down for next week to show her vulnerable side.

So the rankings for last night's performances are as follow:

  • Crystal
  • Siobhan
  • Casey
  • Lee
  • Didi
  • Mike
  • Katie
  • Aaron

Bottom 3 are

1. Paige

2. Tim

3. Andrew

I honestly don't care which of these three go, but my guess is Paige is packing her bags!

Yeah, um, Paige really stunk. And it was too bad. Simon really put her on a pedastool and then she floundered. Poor kid.

I love Lee Dewyze. I think he has a great voice. And he's so current (except for this week. But everyone kinda sucked this week, don't ya think?)

I love Crystal. You know, I'm not so into "personality". Taylor Hicks had personality and it got him no where. And Chris Daughtry didn't and he has been a hit. I think "personality" is overrated on Idol. I just want someone with a good radio voice.

I also like Siobhan. But you're right....she needs to tone it down this week. Make herself vulnerable.

And I also agree with you about them being so harsh with Didi. I thought she was terrific and put on a good show. Isn't that what it's all about. I LOVE her voice. She kinda reminds me of Megan Joy from last year and a mix of Brooke White. What do you think?

I can't wait for Tim and Andrew to leave. I hate both of them as singers. Blah!
