American Idol Men First?

In all the years they have been doing AI, the guys have never gone first..Be that as it may. The guys are up first..Top 12 guys..As always Ryan out there explaining the process and introducing the players...Heading to commercial break and we see that they spent 15 minutes on fluff...

First guy up..Songs are from the 60's

David Hernandez....Singing Wait to the midnight hour..Different..He is doing a gospel version of the song..Original...He is in a bad position since he is first..Voice is good but not super strong..Either that or there is too much echo... Will give him a 7..Randy..like the gospel..Said the front was good but the back was ok...Paula...you have great vocals..Has perfect vibrato..Simon...Said it was better than what he thought..said he was not loose.. Nothing distinct during the song...

Chickeezee....Not sure how you spell it...Has the best name...Not sure what song it is but it is flat and behind the music..got better towards the middle..The song is love your more than yesterday..not sure..I say about a 6.5..Randy...It was pretty good..said it was alright..Paula...good to see you...said he did a good job..Simon...hated the whole performance..said the suit, the wink and it was corny and cheesey...Chickeeze is doing the stupid thing and talking back to him..I hate that throw him off for that..Not your american idol...

Ryan back with the crew and is talking with a strange dude that made the cut...

David Cook...So Happy Together...The Turtles..each song starts out slow..not bad at the start but yelling in the middle..seems like he is rushing through..it was ok..7...Randy...said it was strange at the start but got better...Paula...said it was great..Simon..said it was good. but shouted in the middle....Said you almost made it beleivable..

Up next is The guy with the freaky steak in his hair.Pauly Walnutz...Jason Yeager..Sittin the chair and singing Moon River..Horribly slow and cheesy..no energy..I think he things he is Clay.....Not sure what to give it..Bad choice....Not strong too old...7...Randy said did a good job, but it was tough...said all the guys can blow but lost it pitch wise..I think it was just boring..Paula...good advice Randy...Paula likes it cause she knows the song..Simon...How old are you cause you came off too old and like a cruise ship performance...Said people are going to have a huge question mark over their head..like a sheep dog..God lose the hair thing..

Resident Rocker..Robbie...One by three dog night...Best song choice for him, best choice of the night so far...Got some energy, song choice gives him the best score of the night...8.5...Randy said it was good that he liked it..Paula said he picked the perfect song and blah blah..vocals in the pocket..Simon..only performance that has made sense tonight so far. said it was good..questions authenticity..he is right..the guy sang with Christina Ag...

David Archuletta...Momma told me to shop around...Kind of strange voice..so far the best boy voice...in tune no problems with pitch...strong voice so far of all the guys...9..Best so far..Randy said... it was brilliant and sang it so mature for his age..Paula...Brave and bold and never saw that side of him..she is getting lost..Simon said you have it and the best performance of the night so far..boy can i call these things..he is goofy..and he is smaller than Ryan..

Danny N..Looks like a girl and acts like one too..singing Jailhouse rock...I dont get it...He sings good but...I just dont care....he comes off freaky in a bad way....6...bad song choice..Randy...You know have a good time...said it was ok...song choice bad but has a great time..Paula...something about colors and voices etc..dont get her...Simon...said it was grotesque..said it was hideous and if it was the first time someone tuned in for the first time said they would think there was no talent..OOhhhh he creeps me out with his metro whine and sassy reponses...I have seen characters like him in the movie Party Monster...Creep factor would bring him down to a 3..You expect to see him in a tickle fetish video as the dominatix...I have to go shower and get that performance off my skin, or at least out from under it

I think what I do not like about most of the guy singers is that they come off too much like woman..there is too much estrogen in the coca cola red room tonight. Most are making Ryan look like Chuck Zito..

Luke Minard...Captain John Luke Minard..What freaks me is out is guys that wear hats for style..I wear it to hide my hair...In the summertime...or something like that..started off really shaky...good song choice but he is very pitchy..getting a little better towards the end but then hits patches where he sucks...7..not that great..thinks his looks will get him through..Randy...very pitchy..never settled....Paula said she agrees not good song choice..Simon asked Paula what color..Simon said it was blah..worse trap is that no one will remember..said you did not put a stamp on it...little strange banter at the end between Simon and the dude..

Colton..This guy might freak me out a bit too.. He is wearing a flock of seagulls haircut... I dont like guys that hug there mom long....Singing Caught in Trap...I do not know what this is...not a strong voice, not a great voice...too much mugging for the camera and pantamime...7....Randy said you had a good time..said pretty good..Paula...nice to see a different side..not your best performance...Simon...it was ok..got nothing from it..more musical theater..does not see a recording artist..waste of time...not current...Simon said worry about the singing rather than the hair...

I like the Kelly Clarkson add for the flavored water...So far it was or has been a waste of a nite watching this.I kmow tomorrow will be better... Without even hearing the girls I think they should vote off 4 guys on Thursday...

Garrett... all the guys are short this year...singing breaking up is hard to do..way too old of a song..Sings like a girl but not a good singing firl..oh i am so creeped out by this and the guys looking on from above and Luke is swaying to the song..its ok..he has sparse facial hair..just blah for me...7..good tone...Randy said he did nothing with it...old and some pitch problems and boring.. Paula said it brought the performance down..Simon said you look scared, boring and shut up in your bedroom..Said he looked haunted..said he needs to breathe..Not current..Simon is right.. Seems like a nice kid...Not your AI

Jason Castro up next with an instrument...got the dreads...what a day for a day dream..odd choice..but it works...got good tone, good reach, good strong voice,,nice command of the song and where he is in the song....I like it..9..not bad...Randy said...it was pitchy but is ok..did not blow him away...Paula said she was blown away...said he is a blend of all colors...Simon said it was in the top two performances..said like David they just get it..effortless and terrific..I should be a judge..

Mike Johns up next but once again..He has a scarf on.I hate fashion for fashion sake..its creepy..its not a fashion show..That is on the WB with Tyra....
light my fire...another doors songs...it started good until he said fire..lost it for me...taking the easy way out on each of the runs...8..did nothing for me..Randy..loved him the day he saw him...the fix is in..said it was hot..do not see it..Paula said he set everyone on fire..Simon..most consistent but did not like it better than his other stuff..said he had charisma...

For me best performances were..David and Jason and then Robbie...Worst are Danny and Luke, and Colton, and Garrett
