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

This years American Idol looks to be an interesting one. There is a ton of talent in the top 24, but I haven't seen someone with that WOW factor that some may have seen in the past couple of years.

Here are my thoughts on some of the contestants that we got a chance to see in the early stages and how I think they'll do.


Aaron Kelly:
Aaron has a good last name, but imo, that's about all he's got going for him. I was actually surprised to see him make it this far because I thought his auditions were average at best. Needless to say, I don't expect Aaron to make it very far in this contest.

How does he get to the Top 12: Luck and a lot of young girls voting for him




Andrew Garcia:
Andrew is this season's Danny Gokey. He's got that soul and wrasp that I love. I think Andrew has the talent to take this all the way. The real trick will be seeing how does he handle specific songs that he's got to extend his range with. Danny handled it masterfully last year...how does Andrew handle it?

How does he get into the Top 12: Do what he does best...sing his style and I think he'll coast on his way to the final rounds


Casey James:
Casey seems to be the eye candy for Kara. She hasn't made it a secret that she finds him pretty attractive. He's an interesting pick because he does have talent. My question is does he have enough in the vocal tank to take it all the way? I don't think so. While he's good, I see Casey as someone who will eventually take over for the "Naked Cowboy" in NYC.

How does he get into the Top 12: Get nekkid


Didi Benami:
Mrs. McGoo will let it be known that I called this one early one. After her first performance, I told Mrs. McGoo, "This girl has it." She does. She's got that it factor that I think will take her far. Now...she's very emo, which means she very well could tank early. That being said, I think she's got the looks and the voice to make it. I'm not predicting her to win it all, but I think she has a chance to make some money some day.

How does she get into the Top 12: Song selection and stay cool under pressure


Michael Lynche:
Big Mike was a sentimental favorite of most people early on. He was off chasing his dream, while his wife was back home having a baby. It was an interesting thing to see him going back and forth between auditions and phone calls while his wife was in labor. Big Mike has a smoothness and presence that you don't see very often. It will be interesting to see how well he does when a song is selected that isn't tailored to his liking though.

How does he get into the Top 12: Song selection and winning over the phoning in audience


So there are just a few of the contestants that we'll be looking at. I'll be back with some more later...so come back please...
