Before Someone Gets Kicked Off…
I just wanted to talk about yesterday’s American Idol.
Best Performances
There were some really awesome performances yesterday - unfortunately, Ramielle wasn’t one of them. The judges were right in that her performance was safe, and even worse, kinda boring. She’s got a beautiful voice but she’s got to entertain more! My favorites of the night were:
Carly: I rarely mention her, but she really did a good job yesterday. She sang the song perfectly. She also knew how to work the audience and use the stage to her advantage.
Amanda: You know, in the past, I wasn’t the biggest fan, but in the last two weeks, she has changed my mind. Yesterday was what really did it for me. She finally looked like she was having fun, started connecting with the audience, and SMILED. Man, that smile makes her look 10 years younger, which is a good thing. It’s really great to see her having a good time and really loving the experience.
Chickezie: Man, I thought last week that his number was up (instead, my little star Danny was booted) but after his performance yesterday, I’m glad he wasn’t. His performance was by far my favorite. He really surprised me with how easily he worked the audience and how comfortable he was on stage. He totally rocked out and I was thoroughly entertained. I loved seeing the expression on his face, how much he appreciated where he was and the opportunity he had. He was living in a dream! Like a kid given a shopping spree at Toys’r'Us.
Goodbye…
Some people didn’t have the best performances. My picks for the bottom 3? David Hernandez, Syesha Mercado and Kristy Lee Cook. Who should be out? Kristy Lee. Her rendition of “Eight Days a Week” was awful, there was nothing special to it. She would be the only right choice, but it’s a popularity contest, and Kristy Lee has two things going for her - she’s pretty, and she’s country. So who’ll be out? Probably David Hernandez, even though he was awesome the first week. Strippers never win, unless you’re an ex-stripper that penned a movie about a pregnant teenagers. 
I was hoping Kristy Lee would be the one kicked off but she wasn’t. I don’t understand that either as she was just awful.
I am really disappointed Kristy Lee wasn’t eliminated this week. There was a poll asking which of the three should’ve been voted off..she had the highest percent. Hope she’s gone next week..don’t think I can stomach much more of her “talents”. UGH!
yea… i was really disappointed with Ramielle… granted, it was pretty.. but too safe. i was waiting for her to turn up the juice…
and yes… kristy must go!!! while i was watching her performance i told jerome that she sings like dolly parton on crack. so i laughed when simon made his “dolly parton on helium” comment… hehehe
Gah, KLC was awful! The fact that she was singing at one tempo while the song was going at the other was horrible!! And yet, David H was the one booted.
And next week, we’re getting yet another Beatles night. Can’t the Idol producers stop with the theme nights already and just let these kids sing?
