I just watched Wednesday’s performances and I’m having a tough time ranking them as I was rather underwhelmed. My favorites disappointed me, so it’s a bit upside down than I would have liked.

My rankings for Wednesday’s performances
1. Todrick Hall
2. Aaron Kelly
3. Lee Dewyze
4. Michael “Big Mike” Lynche
5. Casey James
6. Andrew Garcia
7. Tim Urban
8. Alex Lambert

Yes, I put Todrick #1. Shoot me.

While I appreciate Big Mike’s voice and range and stage presence, what I thought he did to one of my all time favorites in “This Woman’s Work” (the Kate Bush version, not the horrific Maxwell version) just DID NOT suit the lyrics of the song, and that’s why I penalized him.

My other favortie in Andrew is still try to capture his next “Straight Up” moment and doing that Christina Aguilera song just did not work for me.

Alex Lambert is still my weakest link as in weeks past.

My rankings overall
1. Lee Dewyze (last week 3)
2. Michael “Big Mike” Lynche (2)
3. Andrew Garcia (last week 1)
4. Aaron Kelly (4)
5. Casey James (5)
6. Todrick Hall (6)
7. Tim Urban (7)
8. Alex Lambert (10)

I fell asleep and missed Alex Lambert last night. I watch O’Reilly during the commercials or mute the commercials. Sorry, Alex Lambert. You’re not the next American Idol.

I'm watching tonight under protest. Maybe I should conduct a sit-in on my living room floor while wearing a white wig.

NO LILLY
NO PEACE

I liked Big Mike’s performance. When the Top 24 started, I wasn’t sure how far he’d go, but I think he could go very far into this competition.
