Highly disappointed in America. Sending home Janell, Ashley, and Joe?!?!?! Whaaa? The only one that made remotely good sense was sending home Tyler. Maybe Ashely as well, but JOE? Are you kidding me? He's more talented that half that roster.
Frustrating watching some worthless singers staying....

American Idol Dudes Night Thoughts
After a really crummy night of estrogen, let's take a look at how the testosterone performed last night.
Todrick Hall: (Since You've Been Gone)
Dude, rocked the casbah. I think he is hit the right spot. Forget what the judges said because they're always telling people to take a risk and he did just that. Judges sucked with him.
Aaron Kelly: (Here Comes Goodbye)
Shaky start, but finished well. I think he's a little out of his element. Very shaky nerves. I think he's very intimidated by the judges and you can see it in his expressions.
Jermaine Sellers: (Get Here)
Is this guy a Diva or a Dude? Ugh...didn't like his performance at all. He butchered it
Tim Urban: (Apologize)
Tim...it's not too late to apologize - you shouldn't have sang that song. If you can't hit a note, don't hide it...don't sing the song. I'd hit the road and tell people that you're Keith's distant cousin. In a nutshell, horrible.
Joe Munoz: (You and I)
Great song selection! Perfectly tailored to his vocals. I told Mrs. McGoo right before he went on that he could be a darkhorse and I was right. This guy really hit the mark.
Tyler Grady: (American Woman)
If this was the video game Rock Band, I think he would score high. Unfortunately, it isn't a video game. The arrangement didn't help him much, but I thought it sounded crummy.
Lee Dewyze: (Chasing Cars)
Another great song selection. Sounded like he missed the mark on a couple of notes, but other than that, I liked his performance. He's got a great stage presence as well. Good raspy sound which is unique.
John Park: (God Bless the Child)
Ugh...worst performance of the night...shaky and couldn't understand what in the world he said at the beginning. John...God Bless the listeners of that horrendous rendition.
Michael Lynche: (This Love)
He sounded like he was singing with the Jackson 5 and not Maroon 5. Decent performance...sounded like something of Motown and a very safe performance. All in all not a bad way to start for him but felt like I've heard it before.
Alex Lambert: (Wonderful World)
Looked very uncomfortable on the mic and very nasely. I'm sure he's got more to show, but ugh...I just didn't like this performance. And trust me when I say this....CUT THE MULLET
Casey James: (Heaven)
Casey, I want to thank you for taking me back to the YMCA Summer Camp days when I had multiple girlfriends and sang that song to all of them. Good song. You're going to get a ton of votes for that song and will continue to get a ton of votes as long as you don't screw up terribly. Good song and good performance. He'll be around for a while.
Andrew Garcia: (Sugar We're Going Down)
Garcia, right now, imo is the best performer on the show. He's got all the tools to win the show. I thought he picked a safe way to sing and I would have liked to see him do something else.
All in all the guys were much better than the ladies. Still some bad performances, but I think the guys are very top heavy with Andrew, Casey, Todrick, Joe, and Lee. If any of those go home, I'll be greatly surprised.
Let me say this though...
I think this is the worst group of performers I've seen from American Idol since I started watching. I think the judges should be embarrassed with their picks. If some of the former contestants came back and were allowed to compete, I think a lot of them would blow this crew away.

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: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.
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.
