Well. I missed blogging about AI last week, and I will ask my three readers is there anything more gay I could have done? Answer Yes. I went and saw My Fair Lady at the NJPAC. Hahaha.
Theme tonight. A song from the year they were born..
Ramielle up first......Alone from Heart...What year was she born..Starts off very pitchy..She like a singing midget..wow she is off and flat and yelling...Its just such a bad song choice...Better towards the end, but she is not your American idol....7....Randy said I hear you are sick..said not the right song choice...Pitchy all over the place..Paula...said your voice something sick....She started to cry..As Simon began to talk she put her head down..Said he did not think it was all that bad and you will make it through.. She is really pretty...
Up next....Jason....1987..Damn...Fragile..Sting.. Playing the guitar...he is doing a good job..He knows how to pick a song that does not challenge him enough but will keep him in the mix...8...Randy said..he loves that song, good choice, said did not do too much vocally but it was nice..Paula..you are staying true to you..Saw nothing different so you are playing it safe...Simon said you had two bad weeks and it is time you take it more seriously..sorry....said it was clumsy and too much in your own world...
Syesha..1987...If I were your woman...Little Whitney..gotta bring it Syesha...so far so good Her voice sounds really good and full tonight..and strong, wow she hit every chord and every note in key and loud but not over modulated....9.5..one of the best in the show so far this year....Randy said...Its a good moment and the best you have ever sung..stellar and he was shocked...Paula said what is great is that where you flipped it you were fantastic....Simon said..it was the best so far but he did not think the end was the best...that girl did brought it...
I am actually watching it again since I now have a gift from Christ ..DVR..I actually think that was the inscription on the cross above his head
Chekeezie EZ...1985...If Only For One Night...Not sure what song it is..Pitchy at first but getting into a groove here...Flat in the middle...If you have to compare him to someone it would be Reuben but his voice is not that good. Pitchy in some parts during the middle and it lacks something..ending is better...8...Randy said it seemed old and he did not love it, not hip and cool and boring..Paula said she does not agree, said it was a great job..Simon said...sang it well but performance was cheesy...you have to show that you are original..song had no personality..
Brooke......Police....Every Breath you take...Messed it up at first...Piano nice take but they are gonna say she is hiding behind the piano...I don't understand why start off playing the piano and then bring the band in..Play it one way...not loving it but she is doing well...8..Randy said great song choice, loved that you messed it up but said when she got to the bridge did not like it..Lose the band see what I said..Paula said it was better than last week..She used the word niche again..Simon said just stay with the piano..Good enough to keep you in for another week..First half good even with the mistake second half no...
Mike Johns....Lame ass poser with his stupid stories...Queen...We will rock you..Come on...Cheese dick..Just to get the crowd on its feet...His voice is not strong and now thinks he will go the Konstantine route..I think he thinks he is God...I think he thinks he just rose from the dead last Sunday...This is a lame song and he is yelling and the girls love it...7...
Randy said yo yo dog..it was great and the best performance for me..Paula said this is your right song..Its your moment..Simon...first time with you I saw star potential...best performance of the night..no way..
Carly...Total Eclipse of the Heart..Good choice for her..This Irish chick can sing..in tune and no pitch problems..the version was too fast....9...she was blowing at the end..and she sung well too..Randy said....Interesting song choice....not good...not a good song choice..Paula said something...Simon said something did not work..did not enjoy it well..said you were uptight or something....
David Archuletta.....This kid always looks stunned..1990..OMG Not sure what song it is...It is bad in the low register...like he cannot hear the music...Its almost like it takes him a few seconds to get into the song..I do not know how to rate this song since I cannot compare it to anything...8... Randy said it was a strange choice but you can sing, don't know the song..Paula said she did not know the song..Simon said you sang well in parts and he did not like the performance and it was like a theme park performance and there are dancing animated creatures...
Christy Lee..She should have been gone a few weeks ago...God Bless The USA...Going for the votes of the people in the middle of the country..Its easy to hoodwink them..I have to say that she gets a bad rap but she can sing a bit...very country but solid..Nothing original and she gets knocked down when she does and will get knocked down for this but she did a good job..She sang each note well and strong...8.5..Randy said it was a little pitchy but good and good choice..Paula said it was good and your voice is much stronger...Simon said your best performance by a mile and best song choice and performance in years....
David Cook to close.. I am not a big fan of this guy..One of those guys that I just do not understand him...More about image than singing like Mike Johns....1982...Thin haired MFer...Singing Billie Jean but he is doing the Chris Cornell version..See he steals the whole concept..I just dont like him for this reason...He is going to pass it off like his own..Its an easy song for him to sing... 8.5...Sang it well but it was a stolen concept...Randy said you are the most original...said you are the winner..come on nothing about that be original..Paula said you are smart and strong and something...Simon said it was brave and it was amazin....He did do it well but it was so far from original
Mike or Jason should go

American Idol.Final 12-Beatle Songs
Well both the boys and girls are singing together tonight. Ryan introducing the new set at the Kodak Theatre? The band is in the air? That is gonna make for some wierd sounds..And a fake mosh pit..Do not think I agree with Asia going last week..But it happens..They sing one song tonight and its all about the Beatles...Randy said they put the song down those Beatle boys..Paula says sing it straight it will be good but if you change it have your game on..Simon gave Ryan a duh since he asked a dumb question..
Sayeesha.....Got to get you into my life...Might be a bad choice for her....Started off lost and rough...I am not sure about this one..Not a great song for her..Her voice gets lost in the lower registers and she has this one note she holds out for and then its a little flat...Its a much different version so she gets credit for that so I give her an 8.5....Randy said it started rough, by the middle it got better...Paula said you are a very good singer and it was pitchy at first...Simon said it was better than alright..said it was a good choice of song and you looked nervous and much better than last week..
I think who ever does Norweigan Wood, Fool on the Hill, a slow version of Day in the life, Yesterday, Long and winding road..Amanda should do Helter Skelter
Chekeezie...Ok way too much talk...She's a Woman...Oh God he is doing the sitting down thing..Doing a blue grass version..Very original..Possible dark horse..Has the crowd going..I think he should have stayed all blue grass but it is a very good job..9...Not to a familiar with the song..Randy said the arrangement was dope and he smashed it...Paula said you started with this O brother vibe and it paid off etc etc..Simon said I am surprised that I have to agree with these two..Said you looked like you changed and I thought you were terrific.
Ramielle...She is Soy Cute..The whole family are midgets..She is such a pretty girl...In My Life..Good choice of song..Here we go...On the staircase...She has great control over her chords...Oh God the mosh pit has been trained to do things..I hate that...She is hitting every chord but it is a little slow...Now she is opening it up...That was a perfect song..One of the best of thre night...9.....Disney good...Randy said boring, it laid there..Paula said you look pretty...Said it was pretty safe and she needs to step it up..Simon said he was bored to tears, from the standing on the stairs to the song that did nothing for her...I expect much more from you cause you are better..
Jason Castro....If I Fell...Good choice....Playing the guitar I think this kid is a true artist out of all of them...Sounds like that one group in the 90's ...Forget their name...Not energetic but good..I like...8.5....Randy said liked it not loved it, said the switches confused him..Paula said she disagrees....She feels his heart and thaet is special...Simon said last week you were incredible but tonight a student in a bedroom at midnite and it was boring..Good enough to stay in until next week...
Up next is Carly...Come Together....I do not like the song that much..She sings it well..She said she is going to change it but she has not...She sang it perfect until the end where she was screaming...9....Randy said you were strong and confident and said it was great. Paula said something..Simon said you picked the right song and that it reminds me about Kelly Clarkson
David Cook....Elenor Rigby...ouch..flat and slow at first...thinks he is Daughtry with hair...His voice is not strong and it sounds muffled but people are going to think it is a great song cause of the lights...I just dont get it...8....People are going for the look not the content...Randy said you can rock out...said there was pitch problems..do this you got this..Paula said you are good...Simon said he thought it was brilliant..I do not get that...
Brooke White....Let It Be..Good song choice for her.....Playing the piano...I like the instruments thing..messed up a word in song..just the piano at first but the band is coming in at the end...very solid performance...never got out from behind the piano and you do not see her that much..Good job ...9....Randy said not your strongest performance but bery heartfelt...Paula said this is your niche...Simon said it was again one of the best performances of the night, a brilliant choice of songs..She is crying
David Hernandez waving from the birds nest before going to break..He probably wants to dance for everyone if you know what I mean. Saw you Standing there...God he is out in the audience..Too much running around and he hit some pitch problems because he was running around. It comes off way too cheesey...I never really got this song and I guess why we see why the beatles can only cover it...7.5...Randy said you have a big voice and said it was overdone...Paula said it was overdone and scale it back...Simon said No NO NO said it was corny and not cool..Not a strong performance..Agreed.
Amanda...looking like a cat again...You cant do that....I like it.Good song choice for her weak voice...she does a good job belting it out and screaming...Have to say one of the better performances of the night...9...Did a nice job in making the song hers...Randy said you took a beatle song and rocked it out and I loved it...Paula..everyone is having fun to Paula...Simon said it was not as good as last week...shouty..said it is a good thing cause you are fresh but week over week not as good as last week...
I love the snake charmer commercial with Kelly Clarkson
Mike Johns....Just hate this guy..Across the Universe..Good song..Starts across acoustic...His mouth looks like David Bowie's when he sings...I just do not like his voice..Its not distinctive, but he is doing a good job with this song...Just too safe of a song...7.5...Not good for me but they are going to love it....Randy said waiting for something good to happen but it did not...Paula said something that made no sense..Simon said he agrees with Randy. Said he you are not singing below your ability. I agree
Christy Lee....8 Days A Week..Country style...Sounds like she is in love with Simon...Wow very different.Much different sound but very original...It may be better slower..It is a really good idea but it is moving tooo fast for her but I have to say very original..That could be a hit done just a little different..7.5....Randy said he liked the idea but he is torn...Paula said she did not like it, did not get it...Simon said it was bad...very brave but foolish...I do not agree with him..It just had to be a little slower...She may be going home...
Closing out the show, Idol front runner David Archuletta...We Can Work It Out...Forgot the words at the beginning and it is ruining the whole song..His voice is good and yet he befuddled right now...Brought it home at the end..how do you score this.....Voice was great but messed up...Still think he did good...8....Randy said I like your voice and but it did not work...Paula said something...Simon said that was a mess, he expects incredible performances and yet it was his weakest....
Sayeesha.....Got to get you into my life...Might be a bad choice for her....Started off lost and rough...I am not sure about this one..Not a great song for her..Her voice gets lost in the lower registers and she has this one note she holds out for and then its a little flat...Its a much different version so she gets credit for that so I give her an 8.5....Randy said it started rough, by the middle it got better...Paula said you are a very good singer and it was pitchy at first...Simon said it was better than alright..said it was a good choice of song and you looked nervous and much better than last week..

Ramielle...Phil Collins song...The songs are all starting out way too slow...nice voice control...at the end she was hitting all the big notes but I think she is trying to change the song too much...8.5....Randy said another big song good vocal but you seem to be holding back...Paula said you are hot and innocent..I think she asked her out...Paula fell apart..Simon said you are little and cute..but said it was old fashion and not a big money note...said he is not jumping out of his chair...they are making reference to her myspace pictures....Oh god, Danny is wearing her glasses...and making a claw with his fingers...What is that about..
Brooke....Pat Benetar...Shout out to JV who called this...This is a really nice version acoustic...This is the best performance of the night so far..Not a super strong voice but it is very haunting...10.....Wow that was very very good..Randy said he really liked it but did not bring anything new..Paula said it was a wise choice very pure...said it did not build...Simon said it worked purely that it was so original said you made it suit you and two weeks running you did a great performance....
Sayeesha to close it out tonight Oh no Whitney...Love this girls hair...I think she is doing a pretty good job with the song since it is a big song..Hard to pull it off but I think she did..
