Thank God for Adam
This week was flooded with poor song choices.
Jasmine “Love Song” – I had high hopes for her. I really liked her through the “audition” process and she was one of the ones I was excited to see. Not good.
Matt the pianist “Viva la Vida” – I think this is a difficult song to sing. I was slightly impressed that he could sing it at all. I just think it would have been better for him if he sang it well. I do like him though. I wouldn’t hate it if he makes it through. Another one I was super excited to see that let me down.
Leggy Bartender “This Love” – I fast forwarded. And then apologized to my husband because those legs really are magnificent. I told him I should have just muted. He wasn’t that bothered by it though.
Nick/Norman – wasn’t even funny this time around. I wish I would have found it entertaining since this show is such a joke anyway. Oh well. Let down #3. I’d say #4 but since I had no idea who Legs was before this, it was hard to feel let down by her.
NPH was there again? Is he dating Ryan?
Allison “Alone” – I said last week that certain songs should be retired. This is one of them. Carrie blew me away with this song. I do like Allison though. I’m pretty sure she’s the coolest sixteen year-old in the world.
Cute boy “Man in the Mirror” – I don’t know if I like this song. I do know that I don’t like this boy’s choice of song. Husband thought it was good. *shrug*
Megan Corkery “Put Your Records On” – Good God she is gorgeous. I really liked her from the auditions. I’m not sure I was crazy about this song choice but she’s a favorite of mine.
Matt the welder “If You Could Only See” – He has a nice, smooth voice. This song was slowed down too much. I haven’t heard Tonic’s version of this song in years though because I favor PNH’s (a local band that went national and then broke up… idiots) so maybe the original is that slow. I’m not sure I felt let down by him but I was underwhelmed.
Jesse “Bette Davis Eyes” – I loved her. I loved her song choice. I loved her vibe. I loved her being all WTF? to Randy. LOVE her. I’ve loved her brother since “Lie to Me” (What was that 1997?) so she gets bonus affection by association.
Kai “?”– wrong song… that I don’t remember. Shame. I was excited to see him. And hello? He’s gorgeous. He could use some work on his hair (including facial). Ah well.
Mishavonna “Drops of Jupiter” – meh. I didn’t hate it.
Adam “Satisfaction” – y’all are going to tie me up and torture me but I love him. I wouldn’t buy a CD (I don’t think… well, maybe I would after a few more months of brainwashing) but I would LOVE to see him on stage. He owns it. His range is incredible. He is in a completely different league than anybody on this show. Anybody that’s ever been on this show. I’m not saying I like his voice better than I’ve liked anybody else’s voice. (I tend to like my singers to show emotion when they sing.) I’m saying he belongs on stage and I’d pay money to watch him. My only complaint with him was… not with him at all. My only complaint is that the stage was way too small for him. He’s out of place on American Idol. Maybe I’ll get sick of him, because Lord knows I’ve never favored a theater-type performer on any of these shows (Rockstar INXS comes to mind. What was that one guy’s name? and MiG. Which brings Marty to mind. Which brings Ryan to mind. Which reminds me why I shouldn’t ever bother getting invested in anybody on American Idol. Because hello? Nobody can touch Ryan.) but right now, I can’t wait to see him perform again. I am highly anticipating the “top” twelve show because Adam is fabulous. Ooh! We’ll get to see him sing again tonight, right? Yay!

TGFS
Jackie Tohn “A Little Less Conversation” – didn’t like the song choice. Didn’t like the outfit.
Ricky Braddy “A Song For You” – I wasn’t that impressed. He makes weird faces and pahs and tahs into the microphone (kind of like Kara was doing)… back away from the mic. Also? Elliott killed this song. (as an aside, Yamin wasn’t one of my favorites during his season but I’ve grown to really love his voice)
Alexis Grace “Never Loved A Man” – I was impressed.
Neil Patrick Harris!!!! Hi! I love you! What is he doing there and why is he with Ted Danson?
Brent Keith “Hicktown” – should have chosen a different song. I understand why he picked it though and I can appreciate it. But. He needed to commit to it some more.
Hey Simon, Bucky released an album that sold pretty well. He’s doing pretty okay for himself.
Stevie Wright “You Belong To Me” – This chick is named after one of the greatest female singers in all the land and she’s adorable. It’s really too bad she sucked so much.
Anoop “Angel of Mine” – interesting song choice. I really like him and I’d like to see him in the “top” twelve. He has a natural talent thing that I really like.
Casey Carlson “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” – no. I don’t even want to discuss it.
Michael Sarver “I Don’t Wanna Be” – he brings the pretty. This song though? Not a good choice because Bo killed it. As a matter of fact, iirc, Elliot also killed this song. Certain songs should just be eliminated from this show. You know?
Ann Marie “Natural Woman” - forgettable
Stephen Fowler “Rock With You” – he has one of those amazingly seductive voices. Bad song choice. Pity.
Tatiana “Saving All My Love” – one of the best of the night by far
Danny Gokey “Hero” – The tone of his voice sends shivers up my spine. Parts of this song hit me so hard that I’ll even forgive the finger-point at the end there… never do that again, pony. I’m just going to have to turn off my defense like I learned to do with Michael Johns last year. You think he’s a douchebag? I think he has a great voice. The fact that he is being pimped so embarrassingly hard is not his fault.
Hi Jamar! Wish you were still singing for us.
Thank God For Simon. Without him the "judging" would have been far less believable. The band sucked. The best of the night wasn't the best vocal performance ever performed by a performer.
The three going through are likely to be: Danny, Alexis and one of Anoop or Michael.
