American Idol Ladies Night Thoughts

In a word, Terrible.

I've left tonight wondering if the judges and people that help these singers select songs should be fired.

Paige Miles:
I thought Paige was not very good. Simon thinks she has the best voice, but I dunno. Band didn't do much for her either

Lacey Brown:
Eh...horrible. She was all over the place and you could feel her voice shake.

Michelle Delamor:
Why do these girls pick songs they struggle with? Eh..it was average

Janell Wheeler:
Decent. She picked an ok song and I like that it was one that raised the tempo, but still not great.

Lilly Scott:
She's got a quirkiness that makes her fun to listen to. I think she sings the same way most of the time and thus it might hurt her. Not bad last night.

Didi Benami:
She hit her notes really well. I just hate the slow boring songs. For the sake of it all, someone pick things up a bit and make something your own!!

Ashely Rodriguez:
Yawn. I could turn the sound down and look at her, but listening to her last night made her ugly for once.

Siobahn Magnus:
I agreed with Randy...she didn't use what she was given last night. Wicked Game? Come on...sing woman!

Haeley Vaughn:
Dear Lord...please don't let her come back. I feel like I'm watching the smiling cat from Alice in Wonderland sing. Problem is, that cat is more enteraining and wouldn't sound like it's on Star Search

Katie Stevens:
She's got a deep voice that could develop into something special. Not on this night though.

Crystal Bowersox:
Holy Crap! Her teeth got whiter very quickly...imagine that?!?!...Janis reincarnated actually put on the best performance of the night, which isn't saying much. I still think she's boring. When she loses, she could always be the cover girl for Crest Whitening Strips.

Katelyn Epperly:
Not bad. It wasn't great, but she was one of the better singers last night.


All in all I was not happy with the women. If they keep this up it might be an all male Top 12 if I was doing the show.

Dissecting American Idol Contestants - 2

So we took a look last time at 5 contestants that are poised to sink or swim in the contest. Today we'll look at a few more.


Todrick Hall:
Todrick made a splash early on with his impressive audition. Throughout Hollywood week, Todrick never seemed to fail to impress. His group showed strong in their audition and his charisma is shown through every time he performs. He seems to be very versatile and has hit the mark with everything he's been asked to do. Heck, even the judges didn't waste time in telling him he made it. That should tell you something.

How does he get to the Top 12:
Todrick needs to continue to impress. I really believe if he starts winning over America, he'll get votes even when he has a bad outing. 'If' he has a bad outing.

Joe Munoz:
Joe is someone who we didn't get to see much of. I personally only saw a few small clips of him performing and what I saw, he seemed to impress the judges. He has that cute "David Archuleta" persona and I think possibly will appeal to a younger crowd. He can sing...that much is obvious.

How does he get to the Top 12:
Don't screw up...otherwise, I think he is one and done.

Siobhan Magnus:
With a name like this, one would think that she's a contestant on American Gladiators, not American Idol. Either way, I think she could win both. This girl is one of my early season favorites...based off her talent. She's got that Punky Brewster look infused with some soulful depth and a cuteness that could very well win people over. Hopefully the creative team of AI doesn't take that and blow it up and throw it down your throat. We've seen that with some former contestants that Idol seems to see potential in and dresses them up in stuff that immediately makes you turn the TV off.

How does she get in the Top 12:
I think that as long as she isn't shoved down our throats with over-kill, she's in. Definitely needs to pick the right songs later on.


Ashley Rodriguez:
Ashely wasn't shown much on the early auditions, but what we did see I thought she was decent. Nothing too special, so it should be interesting to see what they show of her in the coming weeks. She certainly has the looks and maybe she has the cool story to go along with it. She's one of the few that I didn't get much of a feeling about that we did get a chance to see a small bit.

How does she get in the Top 12:
Good question...come back to me after I've seen her this week.

Crystal Bowersox:
Mrs. McGoo can tell you, I'm not her biggest fan. She's definitely got some pipes and is probably the closest thing to an Idol Janis Joplin, but I'm not sold. I think it has something to do with the fact that her teeth look like she's taken crystal meth for the past eight years, but I digress. She'll do well if the songs are tailored to singer songwriter and country, but outside of that, I just don't see her delivering great performances of everything.

How does she get in the Top 12:
American voters hold a special affinity for people with bad teeth.


That covers five more contestants....check back for more later.
