American Idol 7

[ComradesTrue]

Okay, pretty good show this week. Loved, loved, loved the theme.

Best part of this week were the shockers... the average did great, the great did awful.. and shocker of all- Paula made sense! Who took our drunk Paula and replaced her with someone coherent?

Now, on to the contestants:
Top Marks from me for Chikeze (!), David Rocker, and Brooke. Chikeze, who knew??? David Rocker, "brought it" again! And for Brooke- I do really like Brooke's soulful voice, but fear what will happen when she has to abandon her Carly Simon inspired song file. Disco week? Eek!

Carly also had a stellar performance, but I worry that there is a Daughtry-esqe elimination shocker coming for her at some point. Seeing as that a large majority of the voters are the 12-18 set, and I don't see that as her audience... hmmmm.... I worry that around week 6 we may see a much-too-early departure for her.

I still do not get the Jason Castro kid. Just. Don't. Get. Him.

Amanda Overmeyer- fire your hairdresser. Immediately. I can't hear a single note you sing because I am so disturbed by your tresses.

David Hernandez and Kristy Lee... well, there just are no words. I am still so perplexed by both attempts, and just can not form complete thoughts at the moment. Bad. Very Bad. Nuff Said.

Which brings us to Little David Cupcake. Simon was right. It was a colossal mess. Forgetting words? Unforgiveable. Pitchy? Say it ain't so! And the performance... very wedding singer. But, Cupcake will bounce back, and this was likely a good wake up call for him. But... like Brooke, it sets up some worrisome theme weeks ahead.

Prediction for bottom 3: David Hernandez, Ramiele and Kristy Lee. Kristy Lee gets the axe.

At our house Amanda Overmeyer has become known as "the skunk-haired girl."

I agree about Kristy Lee and David H. When David was singing about dancing all I could think about is that he's an ex-stripper. I kept laughing.

Ramiele is just... BORING. I've never liked her. I'm also not a fan of Sayesha. I think her big, big earrings keep distracting me from HER.

I'm a huge fan of David Archeleta, but he was way out of his element last night. I think he was trying to do something different because Simon told him he needed to "lighten up" last week. I would have LOVED to see him sing "Yesterday."

Leave it to some Beatles songs to separate the wheat from the chaffe. Interesting night.

My top tier for the night:
Chikezie - Huge kudos! That was pure joy.
David Cook - Great. Really powerful. I had no idea he was sweet and humble too.
Carly - Of the rocker chicks, I liked her the best. Something about her annoys me but she sure can sing and command a stage.
Brooke - Solid.

Middle tier:
Aussie Man - I LOVE his voice but he played it way too safe. He's capable of much more.
Amanda - I don't know why but I just want to deck her. Yeah, she has a good voice but you can tell for a fact that she's watched The Rose and thinks she's Janis Joplin reincarnated. Let me tell you, girl, both Janis Joplin and Bette Midler could vocally kick your Harley-riding ass!
Ramiele - Another person with a great voice who's playing it safe. Too soon to tell if she can pull it off.

Bottom tier:
David Archuleta - Huge screw-up last night. You'd think with his experience he'd make sure he knows his lyrics.
Syesha Mercado - Great voice but she seemed so uncomfortable on stage.
David Hernandez - Cheeeeessseeeeeeey.
Jason Castro - I finally figured out who he reminds me of, Tiny Tim with a bit of really bad Cat Stevens. Can't wait for him to get the boot.
Kristy Lee - PAINFUL

I was reading back through this thread, and just thought this gem beared repeating.

I meant to come here last week and say that. I just KNEW he was gonna to Yesterday...THAT would have been awesome I believe
