Mariah Carey?! Who decided on this one? Haven’t the judges said for the past several years not to sing Mariah Carey songs?
David A. – It was OK. He had a few issues on some of the runs, which is going to be a problem for most of the contestants simply because the songs are Maria Carey songs. You can’t copy those runs. I don’t know what it is though … I just can’t say that he could be the next American Idol. i just don’t know why.
Carly – I must say she looks great tonight. I thought she sounded awesome and what a wide range she has. Why is Simon always so hard on her? I don’t get it.
Syesha – She also looked very beautiful tonight … lots of gold, ya’ll, even in the hair! She “shined” literally. She was good also, but did way too many runs for me.
Brooke – Ya’ll know I like her, but NO, NO, NO … tonight was not her night. This is definitely not her style of music. She does have only one style … that kind of folksy, hippie style. Did ya’ll see her shaking? She was obviously extremely nervous.
Kristy – She was off-pitch on the verses. It was better on the chorus. She can obviously make anything into a country song. She actually didn’t do as bad as she usually does. I’m a little impressed. I think this was her best performance.
I just have to say … is Paula rambling or what? I want to tell her to “keep it short, girl.” Half the time, I don’t even understand what she is saying. Her statements don’t make sense sometimes.
David C. – This should be interesting. I didn’t care for this as much as his other arrangements, like “Billie Jean,” which I loved. It was just alright for me as Randy would say. I can’t believe this is the one song that Randy is going to stand up for. It was only “good” for me, not amazing.
Jason – OK, John Travolta … let’s see what you got! I really like the tone of his voice. I liked this way more than David C’s song, but apparently Randy doesn’t agree with me. I think this is my favorite guy song of the night.
Favorite girl: Carly, of course, is there any other girl in this competition?
Favorite boy: Jason
Needs to go: Still Kristy
Yay! Jason is my fave too!
Hi There. I found your blog through Mom of Three Boys. I read and read and read all your crazy antics last night. I stayed up til 3 am, I couldn’t stop laughing. You are hilarious and we have a lot in common. My husband works at the local Fox TV station, go American Idol! I’ll be checking back lots. Thanks for the entertainment.
Oh, I agree that Carly is a good singer. But she just always seems so mad when she sings. Her personality is cute when she’s not singing. I guess it’s just the way she is to get those notes out. But I WOULD like her to smile and lighten up a bit when singing. That would help her a lot I think.
