Idol Tuesday
Charity! Sweet Charity! i don't feel sincerity in Idols Give Back, but am excited at the amount of scratch they will raise. the theme tonight is inspirational songs...which can either be filled with awesome chord progressions or some funky ass cheese.
i think it might be harder to be snarky at this point because to be in the top 6...you must be doing something right. but i'll see if i can find any little thing to rip them apart over.
1. Chris R - good song choice. i can't believe he used the same guitar guy that messed up twice for him, but he didn't mess up tonight. as for Chris...eh...i think his voice is a little young for the song, but he didn't go cah-ra-zy with the runs, which is nice. i don't necessarily go as wild as Randy or even Simon, but i think he didn't completely shoot himself in the foot.
Song Choice: B+
Performance: B+
2. Melinda - FINALLY acting her age!! i love it! first off, do NOT change your hairstyle. this is the one to keep. i think she sounded great and the song, even though i've never heard of it, did catch on me. the critiques are spot on - she was great!!
Song Choice: A
Performance: A
ugh...is blake doing imagine??
3. Blake - zzzzzzzzzzzzz...this boy cannot sing, people! get it through your head! this vocal was so weak-ass weak. yeah, yeah, yeah, john lennon didn't blast this song out when he sang it, but we also knew his voice was capable of "twist and shout". blake is not capable! ugh, paula, don't drink the kool-aid, he wasn't sensitive and soft because that's what he wanted, but because he couldn't sing it any stronger!
i am curious to see how Phil would have attacked that song.
Song Choice: A
Performance: B-
4. Lakisha - is it cheesy to say i LOVE this song?? we'll see how it is. Fantasia BUSTS this song out, how will Lakisha hold up? eh, not really...her voice is strong, but it's unruly - she needs honest to goodness TRAINING. it's an instrument and she can't keep it on full blast the whole time.
Song Choice: A+
Performance: C+
5. Phil - DITCH THE HAT!!! sounds pretty good, a little overdone. the man bores me at this point. man, he knows he's not winning so he just wants to win the Bucky Covington consolation country contract. i think he's safe to get a record deal (i mean, William Hung did).
Song Choice: ?
Performance: $
6. Jordin - she's singing CAROUSEL!!! i was in this show in high school, so i have a very soft spot for anything from this show. cheesy-ass ending to the song, but it sounded strong...not the BEST jordin performance, but it will do. i see a jordin/melinda finale.
Song Choice: !

Your play by play of "American Idol" is better than "American Idol."
