Songs of Inspiration with Alicia Keys....

Lee.....Boxer..Hmmm started out odd coming together a little..I am confused about this selection and I am stuck between hating it and liking it...Not good for his voice..A gentle voice has to sing this song and although its not bad it just not great..8....Randy said I am one of your biggest fans and you are a great artist...Ellen said good song choice and so soulful and depth and seeing better and surprising and best...Kara said you had your moment tonight and connected to the song...Simon said it was the best of the night..hmummm I did not see it but he is good..
OMG Capt Skully...WTF
Tim...Good song choice..Flat from the start and does not recover at all..not good...6...Randy said good choice but it laid there and did nothing..Ellen said you are soup...Kara said you found your lane but it was not good..Simon said I think if this was the first time we saw you we would be impressed and it was over your head but you have improved...
Aaron...He is a good singer, this is an ok song he did a good job and Ill mark him an 8...Randy said it was a giant song but you did a good job..Ellen said she could fly..Kara said watching that was flying by the end you were there..Simon judge it in to parts...if it were on the radio I would have turned it off...
Shabang...Hate the hair..she sings good but it comes off creepy...Like an act gone bad at showtime at the Apollo....last notes were good and she sings in good pitch...6..as good as the others...They cut to her friends and its different people this time and they look like the cast of the goonies...Randy said it was the toughest song and it was just ok...Ellen disagreed...Kara said it was really well sung but it sounded like a musical...Simon said I agree with Randy, the leaves distracted me..Funny she is taller than Randy and he is looking right into butterfly's..then she want into the best unending speech..I did not want to be scared away from singing it because i loved the song and to have the opportunity to be here and sing this song that I know has touched me very deeply before and ya know the the meaning of it is why I am here right now and just to have the opportunity to perform it for people regardless of being compared to mariah and Whitney because no one compares to them obviously just just I just love the song...
Big Mike...Pulling out the American Idol play book..Hero...Acoustic to start and then the band kicks in and it sound cheesy...Should have stayed soft..Mike's signature point to the crowd...could have been good was ok..8...I have not been impressed at all yet really...Randy said you held your own..Ellen said good job..Kara said not my fave..Simon said you sang it well and that was about Spider man..
Crystal..People get ready..Finally a good choice tonight....Wow..Bestof the night..Understood the task of tonight and took it to task...10...Randy said that was fantastic...Ellen said you are evolving and growing...Kara another level...you just schooled them all...Simon said that was inspirational and in a whole different class...

Sobahn....I hate her with her hair up...Like it down..Glambert said its sleepy...I don't get the hair....Oh God back the crowd and mugging for the camera....Its too made up..Its like she walks pauses sticks her neck out and then sings....pitchy off good in some spots maybe 7.5..Randy said kinda good and you can sing..Ellen said she liked the second half..Kara said its confusing and I am not crazy about it..Simon said first part was bad and the second part you did not hit all the points of the song and it sounds crazy...Uh OH she is now talking back to Simon and said she does not know who she is and why label myself....Someone should label that hair as a shitdoooo...

Aaron up first...Ok the intro is creepy..Doing Long and Winding Road...Ruff at the start..Sounds like his voice is really rough tonight..Doing an OK job with the song..Slow but then changes it up a bit...not bad not super great...Kind of lulls you to sleep...7....Randy said you have a good voice but sleepy..said he should have changed it up..Ellen said it was a long and winding song...The place boo'd..Kara said its the same performance and I want to see you move..Simon asked him why he picked that song..then said it was boring and old fashioned..Someone shouted and caused a ruckus... If Fox was smart they would have put the hoodlum on TV and questioned him..
Katie...Sitting Ryan the luckiest man in show biz...Let It Be...This is such a safe song to sing unless you change it to the point where its a gospel....She is just singing it..its good not beyond incredible...Her voice is just not strong...8...better than Yoda...Randy said it was her best ever...Dude that was hot...Hmmm..Ellen jumps on the band wagon and said the same thing over and over...Kara said you are confident..Simon said you got it right tonight and the credit goes to him...
Andy Garcia..well this should suck...Singing who gives a shit who gives a fuck...In another get to you know you piece, Andy is great what a friend and funny blah blah blah...Cant buy me love...Get the wine cause Andy bought the cheese..and lots of it...This song is not going to buy him votes....6...Worst so far...Randy said you sounded good little corny..Ellen said you can buy love...Kara said I want to love it but I don't and I want to see more and I love the song and I liked the break down...Simon said its like the backup singer at a wedding..Corny..all wrong..Sorry
I see him being a big hit at a fiesta.
Big Mike...Ellenor Rigby...OH NO...Gonna sing it like Seal...He is behind in the music and it sounds more like he is talking in some of the parts...The chorus is better towards the end which may save it...7...Not my fave...Randy said not all of it worked but the parts that did worked great..Ellen thought it was incredible...Kara thought it was fire and amazin and the drama and you sold it and she is nutz...Simon said I did not love it as much of the others and it sounded like a musical..Took you backwards..too over the top...Randy compared it to glee which proved Simon right...
Crystal is made up again.....Like when a burnout goes to prom...Come Together..Good song but may not translate...She is heads and tails above the rest...She rocked it..Her voice and swagger on stage is great....9.5..Best of the night...Randy said it was solid but not your best..hmmmm freak..you in the zone..Ellen thought it was cool and I only worry about telling you how great you are..blah blah blah...Kara said it was one of my fave..playful sexy and fun..Simon said that is a song that i can hear on the radio.....
OMG a cut shot to our fave idol Tim Urban with his classic cheese dick smile rubbing his chin..No less thinking who is going to sing better than me tonight and then get voted out...
Tim Urban....All My Lovin...Strumming on the electric blues guitar...Sounded good until it got to the first chorus...Better than Andy Garcia...It was not too terrible...Sounded like something out of back to the future..7....Randy said you are in your own category..Much better than last week..Ellen liked it..Kara said a whole bunch of stuff but never said if she liked it...Simon said I will not judge you on a Tim performance, I really liked it and the way you handle the bad stuff we give you and I commend you..
Casey...Jealous Guy..Good song choice..first good song choice of the night....Just him on the guitar and a violin...So far this is one of his best performances.....Could play this on a coffee house station...changed it up enough but kept true..9.5...Really good job...Randy said loved it...Ellen said your best performance to date, soulful...she was moved and blah blah..Kara said something? Simon said it was the best of the night...
Siobahn....Across the Universe..Good Song...She is sitting singing like a ferry to the wood nymphs....Its like your waiting for something to pop and it does not.safe good..8..nothing new...Then it popped at the end..they cut to a shot of her friends and one of them looks like carrot top with really horrible acne...EEEKKKK..Randy loved the outfit..Song was sleepy..Ellen said a beat a drum and your special..and I guess she said she liked it..Kara said from singing it was controlled and good but it was polite..Simon asked her what made a connection and then she cried and then Simon said it was better than last week and then the guy in crowd shouted again... and they must have read my blog cause they asked him to stand up..He has to be a part of some show somewhere..We will read about it tomorrow....Then he came on stage..wouldn't it be great if her was a terrorist trying to take down our American Idol.....
Lee...Hey Jude..good choice for him..The intro was about his bromance...Just him and his six string...Good, not as good as last week....but solid but then it came to the last part and the bagpiper came on and the piper sounded muffled so I think you lost that affect and then it just seems weird..Tried to make it like a pub sing along..8.5..Randy said it was hot..Ellen said your smiling when the guy from the parade got lost..loved it..Kara said good and bad moments but I'm still a fan....Simon said I do not know what is going on but I would not have done that with the bag pipe player...It was funny cause it was so odd.
Aaron up first...Ok the intro is creepy..Doing Long and Winding Road...Ruff at the start..Sounds like his voice is really rough tonight..Doing an OK job with the song..Slow but then changes it up a bit...not bad not super great...Kind of lulls you to sleep...7....Randy said you have a good voice but sleepy..said he should have changed it up..Ellen said it was a long and winding song...The place boo'd..Kara said its the same performance and I want to see you move..Simon asked him why he picked that song..then said it was boring and old fashioned..Someone shouted and caused a ruckus...

Top 10-R&B and Soul Night
OOOhhh Usher said he gonna be so tough on them...Critical..Then turns around when they are live says they were all great..Odd, I know of at least 5 that really suck...There is a shocker, Usher has an album dropping his new album...So here we have our first product drop of the night...He is too cool for school...
Ellen is dressed like the Dutch Boy Paint Kid
Siobahn....Thru the Fire...Sampled in Kanye West's song..Chaka Khan original....The lower register is not flat but creepy...Chaka is a hard one..During the first chorus and the second she hit some sour notes..Not her best...Now its just her scream but that does not help when the rest of the song is flat...6...even with the screaming..All over the place....Randy said big song but it was all over the place and not your best...Ellen said I agree, not your best and your hiking and lost the trail and freaked out and not your best...Kara said you got nervous but the other parts were not there..Your lower register was not there...Simon said it sounded like you were running a marathon and you were out of breath and you look all over the place..weakest so far..
Ellen is still dressed like the Dutch Boy Paint Kid.
Casey....Singing Steve Wonder Hold On....Snap Usher likes him too and he is incredible...Good song for his voice...Doing a good job...8.5..He is the same most every week..Randy said it was hot, showed range excellent choice..Ellen said you are consistent...but sound generic and safe..Kara said you are showing us what you got..Simon said it was one of your strongest so far. Sounded authentic and impressive..
Mike..Usher was so tender with him..India Arie..Ready for Love...Good song....Perched out in the crowd..Electric Acoustic...sounds good so far...Fox has all the kids waving their hands..I like that the band has not kicked in yet...or at all..Nice job..9....Randy said Mike Mike good ballad loving every performance..Ellen said it was beautiful...Kara said you did a great job with it and got to the emotion on the song bull shit again..Simon said it was the first time where you look like an artist..You demonstrated is the difference between being different or being silly...
Didi...What Becomes of the Broken Hearted...Surprise he likes her too..and she is crying...Came in a bit early..Hair looks flat and she seems ahead of the song at first..Little flat at start of the first chorus...The song is coming off boring..Better at the end and pulled it out...7...Randy said it flat lined just was not great..Ellen said it was dramatic and I love you and way dramatic and I love you and not your best...Kara said it was way over done and you have lost your way..Simon said it was like swimming in jelly not easy to get through so over the top so old and so off key..She said the song means a lot to her and Ryan is trying to make her cry..Ryan is very touchy this year...Up next..A cheese dick shot of a cheese dick performer....Vote for the worst wants to keep him in so I am into it..Tim Urban
Tim Urban Should not have been in the competition...Sweet Love by Anita Baker...Usher said I dont believe you, have you ever been in love...Tim said Yeah..Usher said make me that person..Whoa...But he did sing better....Hmmmm....Sitting down..the cheese start....flat at start and such a huge song for someone like him but it is funny..stare at the camera and make faces like Efron...He is staring like Ted into the lights and singing his little heart out..Not all that bad....7....Randy said listen sounded like a singing waiter, but you sang in mostly in tune but had no soul....Tim is making a face...smile...Ellen said there is a drinking game when I call you adorable...Why did you pick that song and it looked like you are sneaking into a bed room...Kara said it was like Broadway and Vegas and no soul..Tim is laughing..Simon said it makes no difference what we say, its like a mouse fighting an elephant...You are not gonna win, but it does not matter cause your gonna smile, you don't care, the audience will vote for you, no one cares you will be here next week so well done...
Andy Garcia...Perhaps worse than Tim...Usher asked him to look into his eyes..Creepy...Usher should put a milk ring around his mouth....So far doing a good job...acoustic with the beat seat...Doing a Chris Brown song...His best performance on stage...Not great but I would give him an 8...Randy said you are back...best in a long time..Ellen said it was a hit...Kara said that is one giant leap in the right direction...Simon said it was miles better from what we have heard from you..As a person you are boring you have to start showing personality...
Katy Stevens...Another girl who cannot sing and is going to do Aretha...OMG WTF..It may sound like Urethra...She does not sound all that bad but in some parts is trying to scream it out loud to sound like Aretha and its pitchy but one of her best performances in the last few weeks...8...I thought this was going to be her end but she is going to survive...Back singers really helped her out...Not a bad job..Randy said Yo so listen it was one of the best vocal performances of the night...Ellen said vocals were great but it was not current...Kara said you found where you belong but you need to make it young and commercial...Simon said you are not Christina is not fair it was good but robotic..It was so star search...Kara's advice to you has been wrong...A fight is brewing.....
Lee Dweedle....Treat Her Like a Lady..Good choice for his voice..He is becoming a dark horse in this show...Not my fave at first but growing on me...Like just the guitar....then the rest kicks in..this is the best of the night so far...takes it up and takes it down and all in tune and consistent...9.5...Killed it..Randy said fantastic..Best I heard from you da bomb..Ellen the night has started..Kara said it was amazin..Simon said this might be the nite your life has changed forever...
Crystal..Midnight Train to Georgia...Great song for her...She seems consumed by the playing at the start but good and then hops up the band kicks in but I think I may have not have done that.She tried to go to a really high place but did not hit and then adjusted...9... Randy said another great performance..Ellen said you are never not good...Kara said I am so glad and I cannot wait to see what you do next week...Simon said good choice of song, vocals at times were great, lose backup singers, the piano was a drain on you, but do not get lost in this process...
Aaron to close Bill Withers..Aint no sunshine...Christina Christenson rocked this song in the first season....He looks afraid...Did a nice job with the song..8...Not bad but did not move me too much..Randy said it was ok...Ellen said it was a good song choice and a good job..Kara said I liked it...Simon said compared to Lee it was like a cupcake, having said that you are not leaving this week...

Siobahn...House of the Rising Sign...So far so good..Nice tone and pitch..Slow and then some add ins..They are all gonna like this..9...Randy said you always take risks and you know Im a fan dude dog..Ellen said I know that house, you are why I love music because you move me..Kara loved it and she is surprised by her...Simon did not like..
Casey or Lacey...The Story....She sounds ok but too much muggin for the camera...boring...not bad..8...Randy said yo, whats cool but boring and sleepy but good performance...Ellen said it was good and perfect...Kara said you got here because of this...Simon said he did not love love the song but it sounded good...
Kaitlynn...Carole King...I feel the earth move...Eh...not a good choice but once again she is singing it well...she should have just played it slower and by herself on the piano...8...Randy said yo the hair is good but no connection bu the vibe was not there, not special...Ellen made reference to her guitar...Not a good choice of song..Not enough...Kara felt like she was not competing but just going through the motions and she is missing and not playing and what happened..Simon said I like you hair..On the downside it was request night sounding..sorry
Dee Dee...Bella Dona..She has a very distinctive voice..Updated a great song, not huge but not a bad job..I liked it.....she does have soul...9...Randy said Yo and said it was better than last week...Said it was not wow..Ellen said yes in dee dee dee dee..Like what you did with it..Kara said one of my faves for the season..Simon said I agree with Kara..Thought it was the best so far tonight...and it was a wow moment it was well balanced and a brilliant choice of song...
Paige....Smile....What the hell...Too old of a song...She can sing though so it should be good..Nice control of her voice but the song is putting everyone to sleep it has to get moving...she did a nice job just bad choice..8... Randy said I love that song but it was way too big..Ellen said it was sad and heavy...Kara agreed...It was all wrong...Simon said it was horrible choice and arrangement was bad...you have a great voice but no idea who you are and it may cost you...
Crystal...Good..9...One of the best girls...Randy said this is what the show is about..Ellen said great..Kara said now i see what the record will be..Simon said you are going to be in the top 12..Improved
Lilly Scott up last singing some Patsy..I fall to pieces...Eeeekkk not a great Patsy song..Not doing a bad job, her lower register was rough but it is coming back...The end was huge....She is one of the girls that knows who she is..9....Randy said it was hot and you are in the zone..ellen said love your voice love you..Kara said you made Patsy feel current..Simon said you are very brave with that song on this night..It did not have the wow...
