Wow! Last night was great! When I heard that it was Beatles night, I was pumped! There were some really great performances. Here’s a quick run-down of what I thought about each performance.
- Syesha Mercado - “Go to Get You in to My Life” - Hmm…I really liked her in the beginning. I was very disappointed in this performance. Very boring to me. But I hope she sticks around for next week, and brings it, because I’d love for her to stay around for a bit longer.
- Chickezie - “She’s A Woman” - WooHoo!! WTG, Chickezie! I absolutely loved his performance! He was adorable. I don’t think Chickezie has anything to worry about this week. Last night’s performance was definitely his “saving grace”.
- Ramiele Malubay - “In My Life” - I so wanted her to do good. I thought it was going to be at first, but then it just fell apart, and I had to fast forward through the rest of it.
- Jason Castro - “If I Fell” - I really liked his performance. I can see why he has such a huge fanbase. He’ll be around for a while.
- Carly Smithson - “Come Together” - It was just “ok”. It was nice to see her “rock out” a little bit. But she’s starting to bore me. Don’t see her leaving anytime soon though. The judges really “like” her. We’ll see….
- David Cook - “Eleanor Rigby” - Some might disagree with me. (I’ll name no names), but David is actually starting to become one of my favs. I’m a “rocker at heart”, and I totally loved this performance. Job well done, David C!!
- Brooke White - “Let It Be” - I liked her performance, I just don’t know if I’m a fan yet. There are things that bother me about her. I’m not a depressing person, but it just grates on my nerves to see someone smiling ALL of the time. I mean, is she really that happy of a person?? She even smiles when she gets criticism.
- David Hernandez - “I Saw Her Standing There” - Do huh? Ok, we all know what’s been circulating on the internet about David H, which why that song was sooo unbelievable, and I totally agree with Randy and Paula, he definitely over-sang it.
- Amanda Overmeyer - “You Can’t Do That” - Ughhh…paleeze let this be the end for her! I just don’t see her ever being able to show that she’s actually got a voice underneath all of that screaming she does.
- Michael Johns - “Across the Universe” - OMG! That is one of my favorite John Lennon songs! And I think Michael did a excellent job with it. But I agree with my sis on this. I think he is yet to have that “stand out” performance that knocks everyone’s socks off.
- Kristy Lee Cook - “Eight Days a Week” - A country version of a Beatles song? Dear Lord, give me a break?? Sorry Ms. Kristy, it just didn’t work, hun.
- David Archuleta - “We Can Work It Out.” OMG!! Forgetting the words to your song is a HUGE American Idol “No-No”! And to be honest, once I saw him do that, I started fast forwarding immediately, so I may have to go back and watch it again….if I can. Kind of felt sorry for him though. He definitely let his nerves get the best of him that time. But totally not going anywhere, he’ll get another chance.
Hmm….my prediction for a bottom three??
David Hernandez, Amanda Overmyer and Kristy Lee Cook, with Kristy Lee going home.
