Like many other Americans, I'm glued to American Idol on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights!
Each week, I'll give my reviews of the performances.
Overall, I'll say this is the most unique bunch of girls they have had. So, I'm excited about that and can't wait to see how they interpret all the different themes. Pics of contestants if ya need em.
Paige Miles - All Right Now
I really don't like this girl for some reason lol. Isn't she the one who stole the other group's song during Hollywood week? Already a strike in my book! Ya'll know I hate copy cats lol. And that comment about wanting to go pee was so tacky. BUT I have to give props where they are due. She made an unpredictable song choice and she really sounded great. Maybe if she sticks around I'll grow to like her lol.
Rating: 9 (grrr lol)
Ashley Rodriguez - Happy
She's really pretty, isn't she?
But I wasn't moved by her performance. She has a nice voice but she just didn't wow me at all.

Janell Wheeler - What About Love
I loved her Estelle performance in Hollywood. I also loved her song choice last night, however she sounded a mess to me. It was all over the place and she didn't show much control.
Rating: 6
Lilly Scott - Fixing A Hole
She is so different. I love her! Loved the song choice and would so buy her album! I agree with Simon about the lack of "star power" but it's just week 1. Hopefully she'll grow more confidence as she goes on.

Katelyn Epperly - Oh Darling
Um, she sounded really good and I think she's a great singer but I feel like I can hear this anywhere. There was absolutely nothing distinctive about her sound. If I heard her on the radio, I wouldn't be able to identify her at all. Very forgettable.

Haeley Vaughn - I Wanna Hold Your Hand
oooh, I love me some Haeley! She's one of my favs of the season. SO unique! That being said, she definitely needs some coaching. She has the voice, uniqueness, and star power. However, I can imagine getting quite irritated if I had to listen to a whole album of her shrilling. She's only 16; I think with some voice training, she'd be perfect! Sidenote: Do you know she's the VFTW pick?! They are morons!

Lacey Brown - Landslide
I love her look. That red hair and those luscious lips - super sexy! I really liked her song choice and I really like her voice too - it's very distinctive. I thought the judges were really hard on her. I liked her performance a lot and I hope she gets enough votes to stay

Michelle Delamor - Fallin'
Fallen by Alicia Keys? Really?! Are you really going to be that predictable? GAWD! Please send her home. Yeh, she changed the arrangement a bit but not enough to make it her own. That song is just too hard to make your own because it's SOOOOO overly done. Michelle is a pretty face with a nice voice, but she's no artist.

Didi Benami - The Way I Am
Excellent song choice! I love her voice - another unique sound. However, she looked so uncomfortable on stage. I'm sure she was nervous. I'll give her a pass since this was the first week lol.

Siobhan Magnus - Wicked Game
She is so weird. She kinda scares me a lil bit. lol. Um, her song was ok I guess. I couldn't get past the weirdness, unfortunately. Gosh, I'm terrible lol. I'm all for uniqueness, but be different not weird. rofl

Crystal Bowersox - Hand in My Pocket
I like her! I kinda mix her up with Lilly lol. She sang Alanis Morissette so that was a plus already with me (I love her!). Crystal did a pretty good job but I did NOT like her playing that harmonica. Hope she leaves that thing backstage next time. rofl

Katie Stevens - Feeling Good
Ellen was absolutely right when she said Katie's song choice was too old for her. I found myself quite bored with her performance, even though the vocal was ok. For an introductory performance, I wish she had chosen something to show off her youthful personality (assuming she has one).

So there ya go folks. My favorites of the night were Lilly and Didi. My predictions for elimination are Paige and Lacy (boohoohoo).

My favs are: Crystal, Haeley, Didi, Sio, Lilly and Janell (though some of these did mess up) but I am hoping that they make it through, at this point anyway. But some of the others might grow on me lol. I am really looking forward to the boys tomorrow!
P.S. Ang that is inspriedxwords Kait's sister who does the American idol article on Pulse lol.Posted 02-24-2010 at 07:11 PM by Trishy -

I honestly hate the girls they have this year. Most of them are reallyy horrible.
The only one I like is Lilly. She has to be my favorite this year.
I think the guys are going to win, but I may be wrong. I like the one guy, urrrgh; i forget his name. But; his wife just had a baby during Hollywood week (:
^^
Yea, he's my favorite this year
I <3 American Idolhhaaha

Sio scares me, too!!
Something about her is horrifying. I'm all for being different and quirky, but she takes it like 10x the limit.
I really liked Katelyn Epperly, or whatever her name is. She seems original to me, and I love her choice of song. <3
I also liked Crystal, she's great. But, my question is, will she be able to really stand out and perform without the harmonica and guitar?
Great review, Angie<3

I do NOT like Sioban.
*twitch*
I loved Didi's performance. And Crystal's was okay.
But the girls this year are just meh. No one AMAZING.Posted 02-25-2010 at 12:32 PM by Insanity -

I was so gutted to see Janell go home! I loved her American Boy performance during Hollywood week.
Not too fussed with Ashley going home, I didn't think she was that good!
I lovee Crystal and Didi!
I've been trying my best to steer clear of your blog entries Angie! So that I wouldn't ruin the results for myselfPosted 03-04-2010 at 12:14 PM by Debz
