<br />
<br />
Yea yea I'm late but i just been pretty busy but anyways last week the top 9 performed "with the band" these themes this year are pretty much sing whatever you want, and i for one am not mad, but i would like some themes a Little more narrow. The contestants, well it seems like its anyones game right now which is very rare on idol, usually we have a clue on who's atleast going to crack the top 3. And the judges, can i say Jlo is having one of the best seasons any judge has ever had on american idol?!?!<br />
<br />
Lets go on to these performances and see how i ranked them.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<br />
09. <b><span style="color: orange;">Dexter Roberts</span></b><br />
<i>Boondocks</i><br />
Oh lord, Dexter just doesn't excite me. He seems to play it pretty safe, he is predictable, he is boring. he really needed to do something out of the ordinary last week and with this song he just sounded like he does every week. how he is still here is beyond me. This guy is no Scotty Mccreery<br />
5<br />
<br />
08. <b><span style="color: orange;">C.J Harris</span></b><br />
<i>If It Hadn't Been For Love</i><br />
Ok C.J is officially one of the worst singers Ive seen on American idol, seriously, this guy sings off pitch so consistently its like he has never heard himself sing. Just like Dexter, i am amazed that he is still around. The only thing good that came from this performance was the fact that the song was actually a pretty cool song. C.J just didn't sing it right.<br />
5<br />
<br />
07.<b><span style="color: orange;"> Sam Woolf</span></b><br />
<i>Hey There Delilah</i><br />
Ok, lets talk about Sam for a little bit, weeks ago i would have considered him to be the winner, and now he has stumbled to the middle of the pack, and i really cant see him winning this thing. He has a great voice, beautiful tone, but no creativity, he is no Kris Allen, Phillip Phillips, he cant connect to his songs, he sang Delilah really nice but he just does nothing for me with that dead face expression and no connection to the lyrics.<br />
6.5<br />
<br />
06. <b><span style="color: orange;">Jessica Meuse</span></b><br />
<i>Rhiannon</i><br />
On paper this is the perfect song for Jessica, and this performance wasn't bad, she sounded good, and i feel like she is getting more comfortable on stage but this was just an ok performance. i think she is still holding back and she needs to just own her performances otherwise shell end up going home in the next few weeks.<br />
6.5<br />
<br />
05.<b><span style="color: orange;">Majesty Rose</span></b><br />
<i>Shake It Off</i><br />
This was a big step up from what she has been doing lately, but her vocals were not so great honestly. Majesty was my favorite contestant but i think this show is just to big for her and she kinda got lost in it. I don't think this performance was going to get her out of the bottom three and it sent her home. it want her time to go, but i can understand why America sent her home.<br />
7<br />
<br />
04. <b><span style="color: orange;">Malaya Watson</span></b><br />
<i>The Long And Winding Road</i><br />
Malaya gets the award for most improved contestant, really, i hated her at first, but week after week she gets better and better. She controlled her vocals so much better and she sounded lovely in most parts. I hated the song choice, and she still had some rough parts in the performance but she should stick around for a while<br />
7.5<br />
<br />
03. <b><span style="color: orange;">Alex Preston</span></b><br />
<i>Don't Speak</i><br />
the judges weren't crazy about this one but i think Alex did a great job. His arrangement strayed far from the original, in a good way, and his Jason mraz like style made this song his own. I think Alex is the guy i see winning the whole thing and i hope he delivers more killer performances.<br />
7.5<br />
<br />
02. <b><span style="color: orange;">Jena Irene</span></b><br />
<i>Bring Me To Life</i><br />
This was a predictable song choice for Jena but boy did she kill it. Her voice was big and she sounded like a real rockstar, i think Jena isn't a dark horse anymore i think she shot herself up the top with this performance. I would like to see her take some risks though.<br />
8.5<br />
<br />
01. <b><span style="color: orange;">Caleb Johnson</span></b><br />
<i>Dazed & Confused</i><br />
Its Official, Caleb is the best performer in this whole competition. He blows everyone away with his big voice over the edge performances. This was an obscure song choice, and yea all he did was pretty much show us things that we knew he can do but the way he interacted with the band mad this performance pretty much awesome.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Last week the top 11 took on songs from the cinema which basically means sing any song you like that found its way to a movie, and sing a song Kris Allen might have sung haha. Honestly this was the best week they've had so far this season. We saw a big shake up with front runners falling and some mid pack contestants rising up. i still think randy Jackson is a terrible mentor and i think the Judges this season are great, still being really honest and they surprisingly aren't giving away many standing ovations. The voting is even more great, they aren't voting based on good looks this year they are actually voting based on who did good and who didn't, that's very fair.<br />
<br />
Lets see how these kids did<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<br />
11. <b><span style="color: orange;">Majesty Rose</span></b><br />
<i>Let it Go</i><br />
Why? Just why? I blame anybody who is back there mentoring these kids. They could not have honestly seen this in rehearsal and been like "hey this was great". majesty Picked a very well known song and sang it like she was a in a damn Disney movie. and don't get me started with her vocals. I'm scared for majesty because its like she is drifting away from this artistic girl we fell in love with earlier in the season. she needs to do something and fast.<br />
4<br />
<br />
10.<span style="color: orange;"> <b>Ben Briley</b></span><br />
<i>Bennie and the Jets</i><br />
I applaud him for doing something out of the ordinary, but this was just wrong. it lacked everything that the Haley reinhart performance had. The falsetto he was trying to hit sounded like a dying cat ad he was dressed like the lucky charms guy.<br />
4.5<br />
<br />
09. <b><span style="color: orange;">Dexter Roberts</span></b><br />
<i>Sweet Home Alabama</i><br />
Wow, is this his way of changing up a song? by adding "roll tide roll"? If it is then we are going to be in for a long ride with Dexter because he keeps picking these safe songs and doing nothing special with them. I thought he had a good strategy and maybe he does but i really hope he doesn't win at this point, just too boring.<br />
5<br />
<br />
08. <b><span style="color: orange;">Sam Woolf</span></b><br />
<i>Come Together</i><br />
Oh man, this was Sam taking a risk, hilarious. Sam had this look on his face like he was about to start crying and run off stage. and he gave this song absolutely no grit, not fun, nothing. I will say that his pitch was damn near perfect but i don't know he needs to just stop being scared.<br />
5<br />
<br />
07. <b><span style="color: orange;">M.K Nobilette</span></b><br />
<i>To Make You Feel My Love</i><br />
This was a really good M.K performance and I'm happy to see her back to where she belongs. Simple subtle vocals that melt your heart. this definitely has saved her another week but she needs to keep giving performances like this to atleast make top 6.<br />
6.5<br />
<br />
06. <b><span style="color: orange;">Jessica Meuse</span></b><br />
<i>Sound Of Silence </i><br />
This WOULD have been my favorite Jessica performance so far but1 the damn band totally ruined it. That pissed me off. The whole performance was kinda dark and haunting and it was really nice and the band kicked in and it sounded really weird. Jessica still kept the show going to props to her.<br />
7<br />
<br />
05. <span style="color: orange;"><b>Malaya Watson</b></span><br />
<i>I Am Changing</i><br />
Ok let me start by saying Malaya is definitely giving her best in this competition and this is two good weeks in a row, still not to say it was amazing, because it wasn't. I still think she is picking these songs that are too big for her voice. She sounds good at times but I'm still not a fan.<br />
7<br />
<br />
04. <b><span style="color: orange;">C.J Harris</span></b><br />
<i>Cant See You</i><br />
Hey C.J welcome to the competition bud! Finally c.j gave a really good performance, he picked the right song for his style and voice and he did it justice. the rasp and grit of his voice wasn't pitch perfect but when c.j sings with this much emotion it doesn't really matter. maybe he can jump back into the game we will find out this week.<br />
7.5<br />
<br />
.03. <b><span style="color: orange;">Alex Preston</span></b><br />
<i>Falling Slowly</i><br />
I know Kris Allen sang this song and sang it better, but i love what Alex did to it. He made it his own and he sounded fantastic. Big come back from his last performance, this was in his wheel house and i am now looking forward to what he does this week.<br />
8<br />
<br />
02. <b><span style="color: orange;">Caleb Johnson</span></b><br />
<i>Skyfall</i><br />
Caleb was becoming the most consistent player in the game and last week he did something completely different and slayed it! he rally made the gap between him and his contenders wider with sky fall. His vocals were amazing and he officially now is the front runner in this competition.<br />
9<br />
<br />
01. <b><span style="color: orange;">Jena Irene</span></b><br />
<i>Decode</i><br />
Yes! I was saying that Jena needs to be at the piano singing songs like this and this was freaking great! Sh sang her face off and it was actually not all over the place she controlled her vocals really well, i hope she stays on the piano this week. For a wildcard she is really giving other contestants a run for there money and if she keeps giving performances like this than she is well on her way.<br />

<br />
<br />
After last weeks lackluster performance show, nobody really stood out to me, so many people flopped last week and honestly I'm hoping that someone steps in and really mentors these kids before its too late. theres still hope for a really good season.<br />
<br />
so lets see how i ranked these remaining contestants, Also since i didn't recap the top 12 performances i might as well talk about them now.<br />

Previous Rank #11<br />
Man it seems like the cj we all fell in love with during the Hollywood rounds in now gone! he hasn't done anything memorable since the live performances started.His last performance of the john Mayer song was just so overdone this season and he did a straight up karaoke version of it.<br />

M.K has managed to land in the bottom 3 again, and with good reason, her performance was so damn lazy. it like she didn't even try. the song choice was bad and she really looked like she didn't want to be there,like if she was forced to sing that song. ill be surprised if she survives another week.<br />

Jena is still one of my favorite voices, but she is doing all the wrong things.

Ok Malaya definitely bought herself another week, im not saying i was in love with her performance, because i wasn't, but in a night of bad performances, hers actually stood out. she played it smart and sat at the piano and sang her heart out. still not pitch perfect but atleast she tried.<br />

Jessica to me sounded nasally last week, and her face expression was killing me. She sang like she was bored with the song. But she got harsh criticism and i think that's going to make her fan base vote twice as hard now. Plus i think she can amaze us with something this week.<br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Caleb Johnson</span></b><br />
Rank #01<br />
Previous Rank #03<br />
Caleb gets the number one spit for a simple reason. He is consistent. Every week his performances are top 3 of the night. yes, true he is starting to sound like he is singing the same song every week and thats whats hurting him. he needs to Be like James durbin, taking risks every week. if he does that hell go top 3 no problem.<br />

<br />
Anyways here are my rankings for the top 12<br />

<br />
<br />
Malaya Watson<br />
Rank: #12<br />
Previous Rank: #10<br />
Malaya had a train wreck performance and she landed in the bottom 2. Not a big surprise, i think she does have alot of fans but where were they? Her fans might be in panic mode right now so she has a good chance to not go home this, if she screws up shes done.<br />

<br />
C.J Harris<br />
Rank: #11<br />
Previous Rank: #11<br />
C.J didn't flop this week but he didn't do anything to make him move up i the rankings. his performance was forgettable but he didn't land in the bottom three neither. As a wildcard he is on borrowed time.<br />

<br />
Dexter Roberts<br />
Rank: #10<br />
Previous Rank: #6<br />
This was a tough one because Dexter has a great country voice and the country fans will vote for him. But i think he might be a little too country and his performance was pretty damn bad. First of all he needs to open up his mouth so we can actually hear what hes singing and secondly he needs to stop giving these lazy performances.<br />

<br />
Emily Piriz<br />
Rank: #9<br />
Previous Rank: # 12<br />
For me Emily was the biggest surprise last week because even though her performance lacked some edge to it, she delivered it with a flawless vocal. I dont know if she can go all the way but for now i think she can make herself known in this competition if she keeps improving.<br />
<br />

Rank: #8<br />
Previous Rank: #4<br />
M.K to me had an ok week, her performance was cool but she still looked really uncomfortable, and she managed to land in the bottom 3. That to me just tells me that she wont go further than maybe 4th place. Unless she does something incredible, but right now she lost some points.<br />

<br />
Ben Briley<br />
Rank: #7<br />
Previous Rank: #7<br />
As far as country male singers go im going to go with Ben this week because even though his rendition of Folsom prison blues was way too fast, he showed that he has creativity and artistry that i look froward to in his next performance. that makes him more exciting than c.j and Dexter.<br />
<br />

<br />
Jena Irene<br />
Rank: #6<br />
Previous Rank: #5<br />
Jena probably shouldn't have fallen in the rankings because she was able to get herself together and deliver that performance very well. but the fact is that she could have made it so much better with a lowed down piano version, just saying. also some other contestants just did better last week. I still think she can be a threat in the competition.<br />

<br />
Jessica Meuse<br />
Rank: #5<br />
Previous Rank: #9<br />
This top 5 was very hard to judge, Jessica definitely jumped up in my list with her killer vocals last week. this is the Jessica that i want to see every week. But she is still awkward on stage she needs to let loose a little more.<br />

<br />
Sam Woolf<br />
Rank: #4<br />
Previous Rank: 1<br />
I might take some crap for putting frontrunner Sam woolf at number 4, but honestly alot of people rose above him last week, his performance was weak nd boring. Im sure hell bounce back but for now he needs to up his game if he want to win.<br />
<br />

<br />
Caleb Johnson<br />
Rank: #3<br />
Previous Rank: #8<br />
Just like Jessica, Caleb moved up on my list big time, his last two performances have been great, and its crazy because i didnt even expect much from him. He still has this very rock of ages feel to him but at the same time he is becoming a front runner very quickly in the competition, unless he completely disappoints this week.<br />

<br />
<br />
Majesty Rose<br />
Rank: #2<br />
Previous Rank: #2<br />
Majesty keeps her number 2 spot this week, her outgoing performances have been very stellar, and shes just very likable. the only thing keeping her from that number 1 spot is the fact the Alex totally nailed it last week, and majesty has yet to give a knockout performance which she is capable of.<br />

<br />
Alex Preston<br />
Rank: #1<br />
Previous Rank #3<br />
No doubt Alex is the one to beat right now. With his lovely rendition of beautiful mess, it was hard to deny that this kid is in it to win it. he is showcasing great guitar skills, great vocals, uniqueness, and an artistry that we didn't see on American idol last season. I can see him going all the way.<br />

Anddddddd of course i was right! if you were shocked by the elimination of Kristen O Connor then we must have been watching a different show. There was no way she would have survived another week she was just too boring and pageanty. I wasn't shocked to see Malaya in the bottom 2 either and now that shes been there, i think shell be there until she gets eliminated, i don't know why people had such high hopes for Malaya. I was actually surprised to see M.K in the bottom 3, i thought America loved her? i think it was the fact that she might be polarizing since shes the first openly gay contestant but still that shouldn't really matter. I don't know.<br />

<br />
<br />
Last night was the top 13 performances and what a beautiful mess it was haha, we saw some contestants crash in flames and other contestants who rose to the occasion and gave very good performances, over all it was a good start to the finals. i already see some people who nay have a shot at singing with the confetti coming down but whats so great about this season is that there are a handful of great talented kids who have a good chance of winning. As for the judges, especially jLo, she was pretty much the voice of reason she is doing such a great job, harry on the other hand, i didnt agree with so of his critics.<br />
<br />
Lets see how these idols did last night<br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;"> Kristen O Connor</span></b><br />
<i>Beautiful Disaster</i><br />
Even though malayas performance was terrible, i think this takes the cake or should i say the cheese, for worst of the night. Taking on a Kelly clarkson hit, not nailing it vocally, plain boring, pageant girl performance. I really wanted to like Kristen but theres no way she survives this one.<br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Malaya Watson</span></b><br />
<i>Runaway Baby</i><br />
With all the over singing she does i thought this would be a good fit for her to just let loose and have fun but my god this was a complete trainwreck. Her voice pretty much stayed at the same level throughout the entire performance, she didnt go high when she needed to and she lacked the intensity that Joshua ledet had when he performed this ditty. Her charismatic personality might save her but shes definitely int he bottom 3.<br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Dexter Roberts</span></b><br />
<i>Aw Naw</i><br />
I had high hopes for Dexter, thinking he was the better country singer, and while his country voice is really genuine and fun to listen to, there was nothing fun about this performance. He looked like he had zero enthusiasm and when i cant understand 90% of what your saying, i just cant.<br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">C.J Harris</span></b><br />
<i>Radio</i><br />
Ok lets start with the good things about this performance, i like the fact that he went uptempo for the first time and it sounded more current than anything hes done so far. What was bad about it? it was just down right forgettable. I dont know, he is on borrowed time and i think he needs to really do something drastic or atleast something that we will remember so he wont just get forgotten when its time to vote.<br />

<b><span style="color: orange;">Ben Briley</span></b><br />
<i>Folsom Prison Blues</i><br />
I will commend Ben for choosing this song, it fits well with his voice and his style and he tried to be creative and give it his own twist. Unfortunately the fast tempo he put on the song was kinda crazy. it was like the performance was in in fast forward ha. if he would have slowed it down a bit i think it would have been a stellar performance. either way im digging him way more Dexter as for right now.<br />

This was an interesting performance, definitely different to what she did last time. I actually enjoyed this performance. Ok yea she did seem a at time like a deer in the headlights but thats just her not fully comfortable up on the stage yet. As for her voice, it was smooth and she added some swag to the song.<br />

And the front runner has his first misstep of the season, this by no means a bad performance, he actually sounded in tune throughout and the way he looks while he performs is great. But this song choice just didnt o much and i dont think he won over nay new fans with this one. It was actually a bit boring i think he played it safe this week but hey when your Sam woolf i think you can play it safe once, right?<br />

<i>The Scientist </i><br />
First of all, why didnt she play the piano!? if t was her first song ever learning than she should have nailed it. The piano i think would have made this performance much more mesmerizing. I think she started of a little rough but halfway through she was nailing it vocally. She hits those high notes so well she kinda reminds me of Hayley Williams from paramore. Still im hoping she brings the brings out her piano more often.<br />

I for one didnt even know this song or the artist, so i for one wasnt jumping up and down about the song choice, but she delivered this so well, theres just something about the way she performs that drags you in and how can you not love what she does. I think she sounded really nice and current, there were times that i think the mic was a bit low or something because i couldnt hear her sometimes. Team Majesty!<br />

This is exactly what ive been waiting to see from jessica, a rock edge, and she did it so well. her voice was gritty and big she reminds me of Allison Iraheta a little bit. the only thing she lacked was stage presence. it would have been nice to see her move around or do something!

Ok, Caleb is really making me eat my words right now because before i said he wasn't going to be this years James Durbin or Adam Lambert but he has proved me wrong. This performance was last for a reason and he really did steal the show. The voice was big, the screams were awesome and the pyro was pretty cool. Not sure if im going to call him a frontrunner just yet though.<br />

Soo many things were just great about this performance, first let me say he had the best song choice if the night, it really fit his voice and it showed who he was as an artist. Second the staging was simple with the one red light, and all that complete with the fact that Alex & Sierra were in the audience rooting for him, that alone makes me want to vote for this kid. Oh and harry, please shut up and dont ruin this guys moment.<br />

I think they picked the right 10 guys (for the most part) to perform for a chance to be in the top 13, and this was a much better show than the girls night. it may be too early to declare this year a guys season but its looking that way so far.As for the judges i think they are great i think this may be the best panel we've had since the days of Simon cowell. Also we had the dawg randy Jackson as in house mentor, he didn't really do much mentoring though just told every contestant to connect with the crowd. They brought in Adam Lambert and Chris Daughtry to coach the contestants and i wish they'd be there every single week because they were fantastic.<br />
<br />
but now ill give my thoughts on the guys performances!<br />

What did they see in his dress rehearsals that's made them say, hey lets showcase this guys talent to America! i don't get it i already knew it would be a train wreck and it was, trying to awkwardly interact with fans and shaky vocals and a roll of the tongue. this spot should have gone to Casey Thrasher atleast.<br />

9. <b><span style="color: orange;">George Lovett</span></b><br />
<i>Grenade</i><br />
George needed to knock it out of the park and sadly he failed as soon as he picked this song. its been over done so much that nothing he did to it would have made it special. He has a great voice but this sounded very over baked and forced. I blame randy Jackson for not making him change his song.<br />

8. <b><span style="color: orange;">Spencer Lloyd</span></b><br />
<i>Love Don't Die</i><br />
I never saw any thing great about Spencer and he proved why, this was such a forgettable performance maybe he should have brought his guitar to the stage because then maybe it would have added something extra that this performance lacked. I guess his good looks could only take him so far.<br />

7. <b><span style="color: orange;">C.J Harris</span></b><br />
<i>Shelter</i><br />
On paper this is a perfect song for c.j but this honestly was not a great vocal performance. Ive noticed this about cj and so have the judges,i don't know whether he sings like that on purpose or what. But theres no denying that the way he sings and the tone of his voice just makes you believe every single word he sings. I wonder how well he is going to do when the theme weeks come around, is going to sing a sad song every week?<br />

6. <b><span style="color: orange;">Malcom Allen</span></b><br />
<i>Coming From Where I'm From</i><br />
Love the song choice and love Malcolm's voice, but i agree with JLo. The performance just lacked a little more effort, he really didn't bring it like he usually does and this performance became a kinda forgettable. That's sad because he does have alot of potential.<br />

This performance was honky tonk and Dexter did it with ease, its like he doesn't even have to try haha. its a good thing but its also a bad thing because if keeps playing it safe every week then he might b in trouble but ill give him the benefit of the doubt for now.<br />

Imagine if they didn't let Ben perform after that face of to get into the top 30 ha. But without a doubt Ben has thing something about him that makes his performances believable and you just wanna root for him.not sure if hell actually win or anything but this was solid performance with a cool little electric guitar solo.<br />

3. <span style="color: orange;"><b>Caleb Johnson </b></span><br />
<i>Stay With Me</i><br />
I wasn't expecting much from Caleb but boy did he deliver, it was nice to have a rocker in the mix and he actually didn't sound like a screaming mess. He sounded great throughout the song and he hit those high notes very well. Performances like this from Caleb could see him making it far in the competition.<br />

<i>Volcano</i><br />
Even though Phillip Phillips rendition was much better, Alex still killed it. He staying true to himself and he brought a cool vibe to the song and he sounded great with his unique tone. Alex is definitely one to watch out for especially if he kills like this every week.<br />

1.<b><span style="color: orange;"> Sam Woolf</span></b><br />
<i>Babylon</i><br />
Ok i know Sam is a clear forntrunner but not only for his teenage cute boy looks, he absolutely nailed this song and it was great.it was subtle and he doesn't even try to be good, t just comes to him naturally and that's why its a pleasure to watch him perform. he does look a little nervous but his tone was pitch perfect and what can say i watched this performance over and over.<br />

<br />
Its that time again the competition has been cut down to 30 contestants but only 10 girls and 10 guys are singing this week. The top 10 girls had some decent performances and some train wrecks, overall the girls didn't do so well maybe its first time jitters or maybe the girls this year aren't as good as last year. So here are my thoughts on the top 10 girls!<br />

<br />
10. <b><span style="color: orange;">Marrialle Sellars</span></b><br />
<i>Roar</i><br />
What did i tell you guys, this was a disaster waiting to happen, marrielle has been getting so much praise and i don't see why, the judges probably realized it after this performance. This was just hard to watch the singing was terrible, her shoe came off. Hopefully she doesn't get put through to the top 10 that would be a nightmare.<br />

<br />
9. <b><span style="color: orange;">Bria Anai</span></b><br />
<i>Wrong Side Of A Love Song</i><br />
Bria was either going to kill it or over sing it, and not to my surprise she over sang the heck out of this song. i just don't see her getting many votes and if she does, shell be gone real fast.<br />

<br />
8. <b><span style="color: orange;">Kristen O Connor</span></b><br />
<i>Turning Tables</i><br />
look I like Kristen's voice and i like her look. i just think she needed to put more emotion into her performance and pick a better song. i don't think an Adele song did her any justice this performance was just ok for me.<br />

7. <b><span style="color: orange;">Briana Oakley</span></b><br />
<i>Warrior</i><br />
Big disappointment from Briana, just when i was starting to like her she completely choked. I don't know what went wrong but she looked terrified and her vocals were shaky. ill be surprised if she makes it now.<br />

6. <b><span style="color: orange;">Malaya Watson</span></b><br />
<i>Hard Times</i><br />
Many people like malayas personality and they loved this performance but honestly i hated it. from the words of Simon cowell this was "overindulgent" just way too much was going on and she doesn't have a great enough voice to actually pull off what she is going for. she will probably get voted in but she wont last long.<br />

<i>Drink A Beer</i><br />
Jessica sounded lovely on this song and i disagree with the judges, i think her smiling did fit the song because its about drinking a beer! But with that said this performance was pretty boring i expected more of an edge from her, hopefully shell get voted through.<br />

<i>Paint it Black</i><br />
Im very much against people picking songs that someone else had a moment with (Sioban Magnus) but i think Jena sang it OK not great and i don't think she won over any new fans with this performance.She did sound good and the last note was killer, just think this wasn't her best.<br />

<i>Paris (Ooh la la)</i><br />
Im sorry this song was so overdone in the auditions that i hated the song choice it did nothing for me. But with many of these girls giving lackluster performances she actually brought some fire unlike some of the other girls. She sounded good and sassy even if it did look kinda like a good girl trying to be bad haha.<br />

Hollywood is finally over and the judges have picked their 30 contestants who will fight for this seasons crown, well most of them will have a fighting chance, because this week the judges are going to cut 5 girls and 5 guys before they even sing?? Whats the point of that? oh well, i think the top 30 is pretty strong i have a few favs and a few that i have i have no idea why they were put through. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
so here are my thoughts on this seasons top 30 contestants and an overall rating thus far. </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: orange;">Majesty Rose</span></b></div>
<div>
Soooo glad she made it through. shes my number one favorite so far. Majesty has something so genuine about her that many contestants lack, originality, and shes effortless. her final performance of stars was pretty rough since she forgot her lyrics but hopefully she does great things from now on.</div>
<div>
9/10</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: orange;">Kenzie Hall</span></b></div>
<div>
I loved her audition and i loved what she did to macklemores cant hold us. I think she can be a fan favorite if she plays her cards right.</div>
<div>
7.5/10</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: orange;">Briana Oakley</span></b></div>
<div>
Briana has a beautiful voice and she showcased it best when she sang Royals in the group rounds, the liberties she took with the melody was great. i don't know if she can be the next Candice glover but I'm glad she made it. </div>
<div>
8/10</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: orange;">Bria Anai</span></b></div>
<div>
Ok, I hated what she did to the Jessie j song but she sang the day lights out of this is a mans world, so right now I'm sorta undecided about her. she can either give great performances or over sing the heck out of em.</div>
<div>
7/10</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: orange;">Andrina Brogden</span></b></div>
<div>
I actually would have picked Leah Guerrero over Andrina but i could be wrong. i think her final performance song choice was just distasteful for me. maybe she can surprise me who knows. </div>
<div>
6.5/10</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: orange;">Austin Wolfe</span></b></div>
<div>
I think she has a nice tone to her voice but Ive only heard her sing like one song, Radioactive twice! so maybe shell blow me away or maybe shell choke on a different song i just have to find out. </div>
<div>
6.5/10</div>

<b><span style="color: orange;">Brandy Neelly</span></b></div>
<div>
I really like Brandy and her final performance was the best we have heard from her. if plays it right she can easily be the country girl this season. so don't mess up!!</div>
<div>
7.5/10</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: orange;">Emily Piriz</span></b></div>
<div>
She came out of nowhere, and that can be a big disadvantage but her rendition of stars was sublime. She really needs to bring it tonight though since it was the first time we saw her this year. plus shes Hispanic so that's cool points from me!</div>
<div>
7/10</div>

<div>
<b><span style="color: orange;">Jena Asciutto </span></b></div>
<div>
At first i wasn't sure about her but her Hollywood week performances were amazing. her pronunciation is a little odd but i think she is a shoe in for the top 10 no doubt.</div>
<div>
8.5/10</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: orange;">Jessica Meuse</span></b></div>
<div>
This girl has already gotten a bad rep on American idol so far, even if it isn't her fault. But i still like her voice she sounds like Stevie nicks. She can definitely take the rocker chick spot this season. we need someone with an edge. </div>
<div>
7/10</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: orange;"><b>Jillian Jensen</b></span></div>
<div>
Her tone is nice but fr me it isn't all that pleasant all the time i don't know what it is. shes a good singer don't get me wrong but she just reeks of desperation. Hope she can prove me wrong because i don't want to see her get cut again.</div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: orange;">Kristen O Connor</span></b></div>
<div>
Beautiful girl, pretty big voice, but to me just a little too pageanty. maybe its her song choices but she needs to do something to look more genuine.and less like a singing robot.</div>
<div>
7/10</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: orange;">M.K Nobilette</span></b></div>
<div>
She has an ok voice but honestly i wasn't had over heels for her final performance. it was kind of emotionless to me. I do respect the fact that she openly admitted to be gay because i cant stand when idol pretends things like that aren't there. </div>
<div>
6/10</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: orange;">Malaya Watson</span></b></div>
<div>
ok alot of people like Malaya, i am not one of them. Not to say she cant sing but she needs some singing lessons or something. its like everything she sings is just loud and not in control. i would have sent her home. </div>
<div>
6.5/10</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: orange;">Marriale Sellars</span></b></div>

Another girl that i would have sent home, she has the look of a superstar but the voice just isn't all there. this could be a disaster waiting to happen. </div>

Haven't really heard him sing anything other than his original song but its a great song and Alex has a great voice. i think he can be a real threat this season.</div>

<div>
<b><span style="color: orange;">Briston Maroney</span></b></div>

How this this kid make it over Savion or David Oliver?? This kid has the worst voice in the competition but somehow managed to make it this far..idk....</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: orange;">C.J Harris</span></b></div>
<div>
Super Glad he made it, he has such a heartfelt voice its just perfect he blends the country and blues very well and i think hes a shoe in for the top 10</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: orange;">Caleb Johnson</span></b></div>
<div>
It would be nice to have a rocker this season but unfortunately it wont be Caleb. he ain't no James Durbin or Chris daughtry. He comes off as gimmicky and America voted that he'd go home on twitter ha. </div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: orange;">Casey Thrasher</span></b></div>
<div>
Casey didn't impress me in his auditions but i think he did pretty well in hollywood, he has a good country sound but hes in competition with C.J and Dexter for that country spot. </div>
<div>
7.5/10</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: orange;">Dexter Roberts</span></b></div>
<div>
This kid is Hardcore country and to my surprise, i like it haha. He is just effortless and the country fans are going to eat it up. I think he can be a big deal in this competition</div>

<br /></div>

<b><span style="color: orange;">Emmanual Zidor</span></b></div>

Umm, I think he made it through only because he is entertaining but as a singer, i just cant take him seriously. </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: orange;">Ethan Harris</span></b></div>
<div>
Ethan has an alright voice but he is kinda under the radar and SAM woolf will probably take most of the cute white kid with guitar votes.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: orange;">George Lovett</span></b></div>

They haven't really showed us much of George so he really is at a disadvantage but his cover of i wont give up was very powerful. this guy can sing!</div>

<b><span style="color: orange;">Malcom Allen</span></b></div>

One of my favorites this year. he is like Burnell 2.0 haha. everything he has sung he sings with so much control and his voice is just very pleasant to listen to. </div>
<div>
8.5/10</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: orange;">Maurice Townsend</span></b></div>
<div>
Great voice but very boring. i don't think America will really vote for him too much i just don't see him standing out. he does sing very well though. </div>
<div>
7/10</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: orange;">Sam Woolf</span></b></div>
<div>
And the winner is....haha honestly Sam has a great chance at going all they way. and he does have a really great tone and his original song was not bad at all. Teen girls and grandmas are going to love this kid.</div>

<b><span style="color: orange;">Spencer Lloyd</span></b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-emo8tQZ8PJU/UvLGOeRyS8I/AAAAAAAABQs/_Bq85QAwZyY/s1600/33-Auditions-GT-Winners-ATL-1170x658.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-emo8tQZ8PJU/UvLGOeRyS8I/AAAAAAAABQs/_Bq85QAwZyY/s1600/33-Auditions-GT-Winners-ATL-1170x658.jpg" height="223" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
ok so heres whats up, I'm not going to recap every single audition, there just too many people this year ha. But what i am going to do is go over the contestants that stood out to me.there are alot of talented guitar playing contestants this year and I'm really excited about that but i think we are lacking some big voices this season compared to the last couple of seasons. but hey every year is different and hopefully some great singers blossom in Hollywood week. So here are my favorite auditions this year.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Sam Woolf</span></b><br />
This kid is going to win the hearts of so many Americans trust me. does he have what it takes to win? who knows but he does have what it takes to make it far. in his audition he sounded and played like he was very nervous but his vocals were spot on.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Savion Wright</span></b><br />
One of my favorite constants so far, savion has a unique look and his sound is very marketable i really like his voice. His original song was pretty awesome too, i think he has his own thing going on i i think that will take him far in the competition.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Kenzie Hall</span></b><br />
Another one of my Favorites so far, the moment i saw her i could just tell i was going to like her, you could say her rendition of doing to find another you was a little bit over baked but i love what she did to it. Shes cute, and she stands out from the other guitar players this season.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Majesty Rose</span></b><br />
Probably the best audition of the season, Majesty's voice was so smooth to listen to and her subtle moments really dragged me in more, The only problem i had was her changing her name, its kinda gimmicky to not use your real name in this competition.but i think she is a clear favorite right now.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Keri Lynn Roach</span></b><br />
I heard alot of people singing radio active this season but hers was definitely my favorite. i love the cool rasp she brought to the song. her second song was a little bit over the top but it still sounded great. I'm looking forward to what she does next.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Alex Preston</span></b><br />
Now some people aren't impressed with this kid but for me i think he had the best original song of the season, even had the judges asking, that's an original? he seems like hes ready for this competition and his voice was great. great job.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">John Fox</span></b><br />
With so many guitar playing white guys this season its easy to get lost in the mix but to me, John stood out simply because of the power he has in his voice, he doesn't let the guitar overshadow the singing and that's going to be his advantage.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">David Oliver Willis</span></b><br />
Ahhh this guy, so glad he came back after being unfairly eliminated last season. his audition was freaking great his guitar playing was impressive and he sings so good. I think his ability to take those songs and sing them his was effectively is going to be why he goes far this season.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Melanie Porras</span></b><br />
Haley?? could her little sister no? haha i love this girl because yes she does reminds me of Haley reinhart and her voice is so bluesy its beautiful. her first song was a little to soft but very lovely.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Jessica Meuse</span></b><br />
Love this girl! Her original song was cool but what did it for me is the fact that she sounds like stevie nicks who i really like. Idol last year was missing a girl with an edge so i think Jessica will be a good fit in this years bunch. very excited. <br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Briana Oakley</span></b><br />
Now i didn't really like her last season and I'm not completely sold yet but i think she has come back with more confidence and she might be one of the contestants with the biggest voice this year so i want to see what she does.<br />

<br />
<br />
Sorry I'm late on this post but Ive been a lil busy, i promise to recap this whole season though! not like last season where i skipped a few weeks but can you really blame me?? Any ways this was the season premiere of season 13! wow this show has been around for more than half my life haha. Lets talk about these judges firstly, Jennifer is still very easy to please but having more experience than the other two judges i think that will force her to step her game up a little bit, Keith urban is well, still a pretty decent judge he give good critics, looks like hes actually enjoying himself, but still easy to please just like jlo. And Harry connick jr. this guy is freakin hilarious and he gives it to you straight, hes just what idol needed, an honest funny judge that wont create drama.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
now lets talk about the auditions, can i just say that per blankens is doing an amazing job so for, the auditions were better than they've ever been, good talent, no sob stories, and not very much of the freak show auditions that we see so much every year. oh and another thing, prepare yourselves for an all guitar playing season, seems like EVERY contestant played the dam guitar, i thought idol wanted to stray away from that, eh<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Marialle Sellars</span></b><br />First of all this girl was in the Detroit auditions so i don't know why they would show her on this episode but whatever.she has an interesting look but to me it was just ok i wasn't in love with her like the judges were. shes just not that great of a singer.<br />
<span style="color: red;">6.5/10</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;"><b>Sam Woolf</b></span><br />
First little sad story of the season, wasn't that sad, this kid has alot of potential in this competition just because i think people will fall in love with hi, the singing was ok but he just seemed super super nervous. but he did do pretty good<br />
<span style="color: red;">8/10</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Ethan Thompson</span></b><br />
Whoa Phillip phillips? haha looked like him so much its kinda creepy, but besides that he has a nice tone to his voice, don't think hell make it very far though.<br />
<span style="color: red;">7/10</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;"><b>Lindsey Pedicone</b></span><br />
Very pretty girl with a unique voice. i liked her but she might get out sung in this competition, lets wait and see<br />
<span style="color: red;">7/10</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Jillian Jensen</span></b><br />
Hey its that girl from the x factor, i didn't like her that much on the other show but i did like this audition she looks like shes matured up a little bit hopefully.<br />
<span style="color: red;">7.5/10</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;"><b>Kaitlyn Jackson</b></span><br />
Another little sob story and she sang an original song about her grandpa. Honestly i didn't like her very much the singing was just ok for me. her original wasn't bad either.<br />
<span style="color: red;">6.5/10</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Keith London</span></b><br />
I actually liked his cover of this song i just thought it was a bit generic, typical acoustic version of a pop song. also he kinda gets lost in the sea of wgwg this season.<br />
<span style="color: red;">7.5/10</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="background-color: black; color: orange;">Savion Wright</span></b><br />
This is probably my favorite audition of the night. savion has a unique look and his original song was pretty dang good, i could see him making it far this year I'm excited to see what he does next.<br />
<span style="color: red;">8/10</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Malcolm Allen</span></b><br />
One of the best of the night, i really liked his rendition of superstition, i even liked his air guitar ha. i didnt like how he sounded when he went to his lower vocals but everything else was spot on<br />
<span style="color: red;">8/10</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;">Munfarid Zaidi</span><br />
Hands down the funniest audition! not only did this guy sing pretty well, i enjoyed his crooner voice, but he sang while being cradled in Harry's arms, priceless. i died when he sang i just want you close"<br />
<span style="color: red;">7.5/10</span><br />

<br />
<br />
We've all waited a year, watching other singing competitions like The x Factor, The voice, But there is no other show like American idol and its on its 13th season! Settle down children i know i haven't blogged in a while but i just don't see the point in blogging about any other show, I'm just too lazy to do it honestly. Nevertheless lets talk about the season premiere that will happen tonight and all of the new changes American idol has gone through.everyone knows by now that randy Jackson is no longer on the panel that would make it the first season with no original judge. The three judges for this season are Keith urban, Harry connick Jr, and....wait for it.....JLO haha! I'm actually not even mad tat they brought her back, hate it or love it shell do so much better than Nicki or Mariah. Here is why I believe American idol will have a great season, this is just my theory. for about 6 years American idol went through the WGWG phase, every year a white kid with a guitar wins back to back to back and alot of people just got feed up with it. So last season, the producers were desperate, so desperate that they casted the most lackluster group of guy contestants, jeopardizing the talent on the show just so a female could win, and it worked, no doubt there was going to be a female winner last year, it was actually a pretty smart move if you ask me because now this season American idol is starting off fresh. new judges, we ended the WGWG era, so who knows what kind of talent well get this year.i for one am super excited.Emonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02140332966121434847noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157648773375023234.post-21662157695106374612013-05-16T14:31:00.000-07:002014-01-16T10:22:23.162-08:00American Idol 12: Top 2<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Last night was the top two performances and some people might have said it was boring but i think i was actually a pretty good night of fantastic singing from these two females. <br />
<a name='more'></a>Coming into the night we all knew that Candice was the frontrunner and Kree was the underdog but honestly i think their body of work from the season is equal, in their own ways. Candice is a freak of nature with amazing vocals and kree has this smooth tone that can melt your heart. So lets see how each girl did last night<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Simon Fullers Choice</h3>
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Kree Harrison </span></b><br />
<i>Angels</i><br />
On paper this song just seems so overdone and it actually is but it fit kree perfectly. She sang the song with very light and tender vocals. I actually really enjoyed the performance simply because i love Krees voice. could they had picked a better song for her? well yes because while it was a gorgeous vocal, it was also a bit sleepy and that's something kree had been suffering with all season.<br />
<span style="color: red;">8.5/10</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Candice Glover</span></b><br />
<i>Chasing Pavements</i><br />
Another Adele song? i honestly thought at first that this was a bad song choice because there really isn't much you can do to this song. but Candice changed up the tempo and took some liberties with her vocals so it actually turned out to be a pretty good performance, not her best but it was good.<br />
<span style="color: red;">8.5/10</span><br />
<br />
<br />
For this round id say it was a tie but i will give Candice a slight edge just for changing up her song choice<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Coronation Singles</h3>
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Kree Harrison</span></b><br />
<i>All Cried Out</i><br />
This was no "Home" But i think kree had the advantage on this round because she has experience in writing songs and what not. I actually really liked her song, it wasn't the greatest coronation song ever but i think its radio ready and i think she really gave it her all on this performance<br />
<span style="color: red;">8.5/10</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Candice Glover</span></b><br />
<i>I'm Beautiful</i><br />
To Be honest Candice sounded great and the song it very "2013" but i didn't like the lyrics of the song. It just sounded like an updated version of Jessica Sanchez song from last season. Not something that id really give a second listen to.<br />
<span style="color: red;">8/10</span><br />
<br />
<br />
This round ill give it to kree, I think her song was just plain better<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Reprised Performance </h3>
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Kree Harrison</span></b><br />
<i>Up To The Mountain</i><br />
I'm so glad that she picked this song, this was really the only song she could have picked to really have a "moment", she sang it so well and with the choir in the back it was the only time i had goosebumps throughout the whole night. The only problem is that kree decided to go first instead of last which was a bad idea<br />
<span style="color: red;">10/10</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Candice Glover</span></b><br />
<i>I Who Have Nothing</i><br />
It was a bad idea because Candice came out last and completely stole the night with this performance. The way she started off accapella was really nice and then by the end she just sang the heck out if it. This one performance might have won Candice the night.<br />
<span style="color: red;">10/10</span><br />
<br />
<br />
This round, technically Candice won this round but i preferred Krees up to the mountain, maybe I'm biased but i just really loved it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Prediction</h3>
<br />
My prediction is that Candice Glover will be crowned tonight, first she closed the show with one heck of a performance and second DialIdol says she will win and dialidol has never been wrong for a finale. SO yea i still want Kree to win because shes my favorite but she probably wont and I'm not mad at all i think both these ladies are great singers with big futures.Emonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02140332966121434847noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157648773375023234.post-26719191954363079632013-05-09T20:52:00.001-07:002013-05-09T20:52:57.953-07:00American Idol 12: Top 3 results<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Since the elimination of Haley Reinhart, Ive never been so sad to see someone from this show get eliminated, but as Angie tried to sing her final song, fighting tears, i just couldn't believe it. I predicted Angie to win the whole thing and I'm sure alot of people did too. No doubt this girl will be the first to get signed and have a big career<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On the bright side we Have a Candice Glover vs Kree Harrison finale which is amazing. Team Kree!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Kree is the underdog but has all of the country fans voting and Candice has got the power to deliver amazing performance. this should be good, even though i wish Angie was in the finale :(</div>

<a name='more'></a> You have Candice, the powerhouse singer who after trying out 3 times finally is making her impact. then you have Kree the sweet girl from Texas with a heartbreaking backstory, her tone is as beautiful as anything Ive ever heard. And finally theres Angie, this girl who has fire in her eyes and the girl who i believe is destined to win this season. Ultimately i wont be surprised to see any of these ladies take the crown.<br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Kree Harrison</span></b><br />
<i>Perfect</i><br />
Jimmy probably chose this song because all season long kree has been picking pretty easy safe songs, but this was just not a good choice at all. Its a great song but it just didn't fit krees style, it looked like she tried to force the excitement.<br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Candice Glover</span></b><br />
<i>One</i><br />
To be completely honest, i don't even like this song but since Mary j blidge sang this i can see why jimmy chose it. She sounded great and it wasn't a bad performance, but it was forgettable.<br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Angie Miller</span></b><br />
<i>Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word</i><br />
Yes i think this performance was meant to be played on the piano but honestly i don't think Angie feels comfortable playing a song she is just learning. But i still think she sounded lovely standing up even though i think she should have held back a little more.<br />

<b><span style="color: orange;">Candice Glover</span></b><br />
<i>Next To Me</i><br />
Who the hell is Emile Sande? I don't know but i think this was bad song choice for Candice. She sounded great like always but again i think it was very forgettable, better than her first performance though. I just hate performances from artists that Ive never even heard about.<br />

<b><span style="color: orange;">Angie Miller</span></b><br />
<i>Try</i><br />
This, to me was my favorite Angie performance of the night, yes she sounded out of breathe but she performed with energy that she has never brought while giving a performance away from the piano. I can totally see her recording music like this, even though she probably wont haha.<br />

<b><span style="color: orange;">Kree Harrison</span></b><br />
<i>Here Comes Goodbye</i><br />
Wow after watching that sad home visit, kree broke my heart with this performance, it was filled with emotion and she sand it so beautifully. I loved it i think it was one of her best moments on the show. and her best of the night<br />

<b><span style="color: orange;">Angie Miller</span></b><br />

Emile Sande again!? i can honestly say i hated this song, even though Angie was at the piano she didn't look comfortable and the melody didn't give her any chance for big moments. this was her worst of the night and not a good note to end the night on.<br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Kree Harrison</span></b><br />
<i>Better Dig two</i><br />
I think the judges were watching a different performance because i loved this performance. The say kree shouldn't sing this foot stomping country songs but i think she gave the right amount of energy and she sounded great and aggressive.<br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Candice Glover</span></b><br />
<i>Somewhere</i><br />
This song reminds me of "somewhere over the rainbow" i don't know lol but Candice sang the crap out of this song. After giving two forgettable performances i think she pretty much won the night with this one.<br />
<span style="color: red;">9/10</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I think all three ladies gave it their best tonight. Candice killing it with her last song, Angie brought it tonight like she does every week, and kree to my surprise fought really hard despite some iffy song choices. kree is the underdog for sure so we might end up having a Angie/Candice Finale but who knows Kree has alot of fans.<br />

Okay Okay Okay, yes i know i haven't been around to give my feed back on American idol for a while. but honestly its kinda hard when you got school, work, and yes when this season was starting to bore me a little. Do not fear though because I'm back!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
this year it was so clear that they wanted a girl to win so badly that they casted the most fodder group of guys ever to be on this show. However that doesn't mean that these females aren't any good, because they are fantastic. I just have to say this week was a letdown i mean the two top dogs Candice and Kree had their worst nights and got threw under the us by the judges. Angie is taking advantage of that and Amber, well amber is overrated if you ask me.<br />

How can these judges sit there and call Amber's performance "2013" how did this have "flavor" to me it was as old fashioned as it always will be.I must say though that the way she started the Song off was clever on her behalf and it sounded lovely. But when she got to the bigger notes her voice kinda strains because Amber's voice honestly isn't that big.<br />

Poor Kree, she seems defeated and she s probably like, what the hell do these judges want from me. but her problem is that she isn't connecting to her performances and she isn't giving us any "moments" sorry for sounding like Randy Jackson, but its true. I think she did good on the song her voice sounded gritty, but at this point in the competition she needs better songs.<br />

Finally, i knew Angie would become the front runner again i just didn't know when it would happen. Angie has been a mid pack contestant for weeks now but this performance was the best she had given all season long, the emotion and connection she sang with was impeccable. yeah her vocals weren't perfect but it didn't even matter. My prediction, Angie will win this season.<br />

First let me say this theme was a horrible theme, and these contestants had no creativity what so ever. Starting with amber, i agree with jimmy this song was corny and just not right for a top 4 performance. Oh but the judges loved it, she even got a standing o from them, what the hell? i lover her voice but i seriously hope all this praise will get her eliminated.<br />

Yes this performance was a snooze, but she sang it so well.

with the rest of the girls giving underwhelming performances, Angie pretty much won the night with her first song and this one was just the nail on the coffin.

Candice has been giving amazing performances every week. For her to get eliminated she will either need to give a very bad performance or a shock elimination, which is very possible for Candice. But until then she stand at the top of the list.<br />

Angie Miller<br />
Rank: 2<br />
Angie is still riding on her Hollywood/Vegas frontrunner status. She is obviously the female that the judges and the producers want to see int he finally so i doubt she will go anywhere anytime soon. She does have a beautiful voice and i lover what she brings to the stage, but I'm waiting fr her breakout performance.<br />
<br />

Rank: 3<br />
Kree is this close from taking second or first on the rankings, her performances are always stellar and she is by far one of the best contestants. The only problem is that's she has yet to have a big moment. Also she is in competition with Janelle for the country spot, and in competition with Angie and Candice for that number one spot. She has alot of work cut out for her.<br />
<br />

Burnell Taylor<br />
Rank: 4<br />
Burnell is going to be the last guy standing but as of now, he has no chance of winning. The girls are just to overwhelming this season. Burnell hasn't done anything special to make him a frontrunner, but he does give stellar vocals every week and that's why he is ranked # 4<br />
<br />

Janelle Arthur<br />
Rank: 5<br />
Janelle was a frontrunner, then she fell big time, now we are starting to see her rise again. Which can mean that she is the underdog now. plus she is a country girl from the south. to me Janelle can win this whole thing if she gets better every week because America will just fall in love with this country girl.<br />

Rank: 6<br />
Amber has an amazing voice, her runs are phenomenal, but when we talk about the girls this season her name is never in the race for the number one spot. She is a true darkhorse and she can be a real contender if she gives us great performances, but if she is bad one week, shes gone.<br />

Rank: 7<br />
Devin has such a nice voice but he has been picking very bad songs that end up in boring forgettable performances. At this point i don't know how he can turn things around, but he should just do what he can while he is still here because i don't think hell crack top 5 at this rate.<br />

Lazaro Arbos<br />
Rank: 8<br />
No surprise here, Lazaro is a sweet kid with a decent voice but he just isn't ready for the show. i haven't seen a contestant sing so bad and go on week after week since sanjaya in season 6. Lazaro isn't going to win so please America, vote him out!Emonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02140332966121434847noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157648773375023234.post-49630244686590687352013-03-27T22:45:00.002-07:002013-03-27T22:45:45.260-07:00American Idol 12: Top 9 Results<div>

Shake my head, America why are you keeping this kid around? I understand that you feel bad for him but this performance was not only the worst of the night, one of the worst all season. Nothing about this performance was good, the vocal, the phrasing, the pitch, it was all bad. And he cried afterwards....hell be safe.<br />

Oh man what a long and winding performance! what was he thinking when he picked this song, this song should never be sung on idol its so damn boring. To be nice, yes he sounded great as always, but Devin needs a moment or he is history.<br />

he started of very bad with the falsetto,but other than that i really liked it, Paul's best performance thus far. That big beautiful note he sang was the greatest thing I've seen him do all season, but it looked like the judges we rent so pleased. could spell trouble for Paul.<br />

<i>Shes Leaving Home</i><br />
The judges didn't like it,i loved it. This wasn't her best but i loved the way she sang and the choices she made. She didn't go crazy with the runs as she usually does and it was nice to hear her actually hold a note. What Nicki said about her not wanting to sing this song was just dumb, she picked the song so obviously she wanted to sing it.<br />

<b><span style="color: orange;">05. Angie Miller</span></b><br />
<i>Yesterday</i><br />
I agree that Angie completely did the opposite of what she was supposed to do, this song is meant to be sung soft and to have a subtle connection to it. Angie sounded great but she over sang the song a little bit. Shes my favorite contestant so i personally thought she did a good job and she did, but it would have been better without the dramatics.<br />

<b><span style="color: orange;">04. Burnell Taylor</span></b><br />
<i>Let It Be</i><br />
Burnell really should expand his knowledge on music because who doesn't know this song, seriously. But still he sang it beautifully, he does things to the melody that only he can do, it sets him apart. i still think he is the est of the guys but he is in need of a moment, something to make it a real contender against the girls.<br />

She gave a very nice performance with a very delicate vocal. it was quite refreshing. I still wasn't crazy over it but it was the best shes done in a while. i still think she can win, so if shes gonna beat Angie,Candice, kree, shes gonna have to put some effort.<br />

And going home is Curtis Finch Jr, No surprise there. He was a good singer but he over did it , sang cheesy songs, and had a crappy personality. So with that said, good riddance.<br />

We also saw performances by Bon Jovi and The idol champ Phillip Phillips<br />

Pretty expected song choice from Curtis, and his vocal? it was pretty dang predictable. He didn't hit all the notes he was going for and he usually goes for the same high notes every performance. To me watching this was like watching a cartoon i mean Curtis just does some ridiculous things , not in a good way. </div>

Most people hated it, it was bad obviously because lets face it, Lazaro isn't such a great singer. But i actually thought it was better than most of the stuff he has done throughout the competition so far. poor Lazaro will keep getting the sympathy votes and hell just stick around and outlast a favorite just watch.</div>

This is why i hate this theme, the contestants are taking songs that other idols had moments with already. Janelle maybe this was a good song on paper but she really had to deliver. unfortunately she didn't. it lacked the energy that scotty brought to the song when he performed it. she just didn't sound good at all i hated it.</div>

Don't get me wrong, burnell is the best guy in the competition, his voice is unique . But this was a horrendous song choice. My least favorite coronation song, theres no way burnell could make this song any more like able. Another thing that bothers me is that i feel like burnell is giving the same type of performance week after week, he needs to do something uptempo or atleast move around!</div>

He sang his audition song and i cant blame him, he did something that he knew he could nail and that would get him into the top 10.

<br />
As for the judges, Nicki is still hilarious and i think shes a great judge, i just think she can get a bit annoying sometimes, Keith has great input but is too quick to get on his feet, Mariah Carey, poor mariah, she tries hard to be a good judge but just says a bunch of nonsense.

Another girl that i thought shouldn't have made it this far, but she did look better than she did last time. But still her tone is unbearable, i just cant listen to her she sounds like a chipmunk. yes she sang good but it did nothing for me.<br />

<i>If i Can Dream</i><br />
Boring song, Janelle really doesn't know how to pick her songs, last week was bad, this was a little better but still not good. Janelle was supposed to be a front runner, and she does give me the Scotty Mccreery, Tate Stevens vibe, no matter how boring she is America will vote for her. But she has to at least step up her game.<br />

<i>Flaws and All</i><br />
This was a pretty risky song choice because is was the opposite of what she did last week, but i really liked it. She sounded very good and restrained and she brougtht attitude to the performance. I think this is a song that should have been performed later on in the competition, not this early to Be taking risks.<br />

I didn't know the song but i didn't even care because Kree kills it every time. She has this big voice and her vocals are just amazing, she has a country sound but not too country. She is definitely one of the stronger girls this season haha.<br />

I was thinking not another Whitney song! But she slayed it! Her tone is so rich and yes she does alot of vocal acrobats that sometimes arent necessary but i think she has to because i don't think she can hit the big high notes.<br />

The female version of Colton Dixon!? Yes haha.

One of my favorite song, and i never heard a girl sing it before so i really liked it. Her voice is just so unreal, everything she does with her voice is just impeccable. And when she hits those big notes, its flawless. The only thing i didn't like is how she messed with the melody just a little but whatever haha.<br />

<b><span style="color: orange;">Lazaro Arbos</span></b><br />
<i>Tonight I wanna Cry</i><br />
I think my question here is, do these judges really think hes that great of a singer? Lazaro is a sweet kid but he only got this far because oh his back story. Tonight was the worst Ive heard from him, the song was boring, i couldn't understand a word he said, and he was off pitch throughout the whole song. But hes going to go through because, he just is.<br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Gurpreet Singh</span></b><br />
<i>Nothing Ever Hurt Like You</i><br />
I agree with the judges, i think he would have at least had a a better performance if he brought out a guitar, but it still wouldn't mask the fact that he just isn't a very good singer. This performance was just very forgettable, and the way he begged afterwards, good riddance.<br />

<b><span style="color: orange;">Mathenee Treco</span></b><br />
<i>A Little Less Conversation</i><br />
Horrible song choice, the only time to sing an Elvis song, is on Elvis week, seriously. Mathenee does have very great vocal control but this performance was just silly. Hes a choreographer? Didn't seem like it at all.<br />

<i>Titanium</i><br />
Where is Beatrice Miller? haha, i really don't think anyone will ever sign it the way she did, so i wasn't thrilled abut this performance, i think he was off key and hes high notes were just overkill. Don't get me wrong he does have potential just.a nice voice wrong song<br />

<b><span style="color: orange;">Josh Holiday</span></b><br />
<i>Original Song</i><br />
I actually kinda liked this performance in the beginning when he was on the piano, you know he saw Angela perform her original haha! The song was nice but i don't think it went anywhere, if your gonna sing an original song it better leave a lasting impression, and unfortunately for josh, it didn't.<br />

<b><span style="color: orange;">Nick Boddington</span></b><br />
<i>Say Something Now</i><br />
Nick was a standout in Hollywood with his performance of Grace Potters "Stars". but this week Nick was a big let down, he picked a song that almost no one really knows and it was actually pretty boring. He did sound nice though he has a very pretty voice. He needs to step it up/<br />

<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Burnell Taylor</span></b><br />
<i>This Time</i><br />
Perfect song choice for him, Ive always thought he sounded a bit like john legend so I'm glad about that. Burnell is obviously one of the favorites in the boys group and i can see why, hes marketable and he can really sing. My only problem was that i was waiting for the big note but he never had one, maybe he cant hit them?<br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Bryant Tadeo</span></b><br />
<i>New York State Of Mind</i><br />
Hate his song choice to be honest, such an old loungey song. I didn't even know what to expect from Bryant since this is the first time we've seen him, and i was pleasantly surprised he has a beautiful tone to his voice. I think he did a great job with this song and deserved to get through to the next round<br />

<i>Fever</i><br />
Again, Never heard from this guy either so i didn't know what to expect, but i was really glad to see a "Black Guy With Guitar" for once haha. His song choice was very odd but he worker it out and it was one of the better performances of the night, it was something new and entertaining, should have gone through.<br />

<b><span style="color: orange;">Vincent Powell</span></b><br />
<i>Cause I Love You</i><br />
WOW where did he come from haha, this was pretty damn good, move over Curtis finch! He sang with so much soul and his falsetto was one thing i really liked also. I prefer this guy over Curtis any day!<br />
