American Idol Season 9

Postby Magnificent Fan » Sat Feb 27, 2010 8:11 pm

Does anyone else follow American Idol? Must confess... I'm a junkie! :oops:

So far - my favorites are Crystal and Casey.

I know we're not even up to the final Top 12 yet - still Top 20 - but I was a bit surprised with some of the eliminations this week.

Ashley - I'm surprised she tanked as badly as she did. But then again.. don't sing a Leona Lewis song unless you sing it better than she can! She's Simon's find from the X Factor so he's always going to criticize someone if they sing one of her songs. Anyway, after hearing her perform and listening to what the judges said, I'm not surprised that she got booted.

Janell - I'm stunned that she's out! I thought she was really, really good - although a song by Heart wasn't a good idea. She has a pretty, melodic voice - not that kind of powerful, belting voice that Ann Wilson has.

Joe - Not surprised at all. He was pretty good, but he had hardly any time on camera.

Tyler - I'm surprised that he got booted, but it's okay. He wasn't one of my favorites. His rock shtick was getting a bit old and tired.

Any other thoughts?

i'm actually surprised that Joe was voted off by America! he was great in singing You and I Both. that guy who was retained, the Zac Efron look-alike although Zac is a much much better singer than him, sucks!

and yes, i was surprised that Janell got voted off. i forgot her name, but the girl who sang Landslide sang it really bad! she wasn't that way during the auditions and during Hollywood Week

The Zac look-alike is Alex - I like him! :mrgreen: He's cute, and I like his voice, although he didn't have a great week this week. I'd give him another shot, but Simon's right - he has to get his nerves under control.

The one who sang Landslide is Lacey. I thought for sure she was getting the boot this week after that performance. If you're going to sing a Stevie Nicks song, you have to REALLY SING IT. (Right, Andrea? ;)) But I'd give her another shot, because her rendition of Somewhere Over The Rainbow during Hollywood Week was phenomenal.

BTW, Denise, how did I know you'd be the one to respond to this topic? ;) :lol:

I hope Katelyn goes. I am not a fan. I like Andrew, Lee and Lilly.

Katelyn wasn't too good tonight. I didn't care for Lilly tonight, either, although I love her voice. Katie was terrible - very off key. She should go. I loved Siobhan. Lacey was interesting. Her song was "The Story" by Brandi Carlile, and she sang it well, but her voice is nothing like Brandi's. As a result, it lost all of the emotion in the song, which makes it so great. Didi was good, too. That was an interesting rendition of Rhiannon, which is my favorite Fleetwood Mac song. Paige needs to go, too. Singing "Smile" was not a good idea. And again, Crystal brought the house down. She was fantastic.

Not watching this season, but is Crystal the one that got sick? You know, the one that had to go to the hospital and Idol producers switched up and had men's night first?

Yes, that was Crystal. Supposedly she has diabetes, and she had some complications that day. She's definitely the one to beat - what a voice!

The guys go on in about 45 minutes; looking forward to it tonight. :mrgreen:
