I just got home and caught the guy who looks like a gay Johnny Cash offspring. (Adam)
They must want him in because he’s in the pimp spot. From the recap, Allison (sang Heart’s Alone) was the only one of the entire night worth voting for.
I’d say she wins the night. That last dude gets in for the guys and the blonde (Megan?) is the 3rd wheel.
See you guys tomorrow!
In retrospect it’s funny that we all thought weeks 2 and 3 would have an advantage over week one with extra practice time.
Wow. What a terrible night. I was only happy with 5 of the singers, and only blown away by three. Tonight the A’s have it - Adam and Allison. Period.
1. Adam Lambert - Satisfaction - Wow! This guy has an amzing instrument. Unbelievable range. A little over the top performance wise, but just amazing vocals.
2. Allison Ireheta - Alone - Just stamped herself as the best female in the competition. Simply spine tingling vocals. What a voice for a 16 year old, but am I the only one that thinks she looks almost 30? That is my only complaint, she is a really old looking 16.
3. Matr Breitzke - If You Could Only See - Wow I cannot believe how diametrically opposed to the judges I am on this. I thought this performance was absolutely fantastic. A definate notch below Allison and Adam, but miles better than anyone else.
4. Megan Corkrey - Put your Records On - I love Megan, but this song is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. Hate the song, love Megan. To her credit she made a horrible song bearable to listen to.
5. Kai Kalama - What becomes of the Broken hearted - Ok, I am an old guy and as such this song hit me where it counts. Plus, kai has an amazing voice, but I have to agree with the judges - he is a great singer but an old soul in a young person’s competition.
6. Myshavonna Henson - Drops of jupiter - Ok there is no doubt the girl can sing, but my god “drops of Jupiter”???? PUHLEEZE. Goof voice but nothing special.
7. Kris Allen - Man in the Mirror - Another mystifying song choice. Your one shot and you pick Jacko the Whacko???? Kris needed to explode on the seen after no camera time, and simon nailed it : He blew his one shot.
8. Matt giraud - Viva la Vida - Such potential, such talent, such a sucky song choice. All I could do was hang my head and shake it. Very disappointing. Maybe he will get a wildcard shot.
9. jasmine Murray - Love song - Second verse same as the first: Such potential, such talent, such a sucky song choice. All I could do was hang my head and shake it. Very disappointing. Maybe she will get a wildcard shot.
10. Jesse Langseth - Bette Davis eyes - Very good performance for Karaoke night at the local watering hole. She gets better as a drink more, maybe at the end of the night I will hit on her and take her home. OK - over the top with my comment, but you all know what I mean.
11. Jeanine Vailes - This Love - jeannine, we hardly knew you, and now that we do it was for a minute and a half too long!!! A total utter train wreck. BYE BYE
12. Nick Mitchell/Norman Gentle - And I am telling You - Ummmm.... yeah.
Do any of these kids ever watch the show. They all say they do. So why do they all insist on sabotaging themselves with disasterous song choices.
So Adam and Allison definately through. Thiord spot a fight between Matt B, Megan and Kai. Wildcard possiblities Matt G and Jasmine.
I started off calling Adam “Mascara Boy”, but now I’m thinking more like “Fantasia Boy”. Talented singer, but definitely Broadway, not a recording artist.
Until Adam performs at least.
I stand corrected, LOL
Can't argue with that.
Mind-meld!
Allison: "Uh, what? Huh? Yes. You want me to talk? Yes. Good. No. YES!"
LOL, all that because Seacrest asked if she liked Idol school.
LOL!
She was going for the Bette Davis look, to match the song.
Judging by tonight's show, you must be the only one!
Sounds like a Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor.
I guess. She looks ten years older.
If it helps to realize... I attatch responses to other pings, when Jonny has yet to post a new comment...
So it seems, my comments at times, won’t make sense along with comments I am attatching to.
I put Jonny’s name in when I have something to say and/when He is still putting His posts together.
Not random thoughts just attached to earlier pings and or commentary.
A year ago I would have laughed at that, but now I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if he makes it into the Top 12 tomorrow night.
And even if he doesn't, he'll most likely return for the Wild Card.
Yep. I hope she makes the cut.
“Anoop wasn’t bad. He’ll probably return for the Wild Card”
They should’ve had Anoop stand in for Bobby Jindal last night!
That's going into my Best Quotes file :)
oh I’m sure she will! If there is any A I justice!
:)
Great C E/ “R T P” sketch btw(on Your FR page.)
your talent never ceases to amaze!
I bet he’d be glad to know that You went ahead and made his sketch!
:)
Oh, and I have to agree that most everyone sucked tonight.
