AMERICAN IDOL 9: TOP 10 R&B Night
R&B night on American Idol. What are we in for? I am kind of mad at the song choices. I really wanted to hear some great songs instead of the American Idol standards.
10. Didi Benami - What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted: Very all over the place. It was boring as well. I was hoping that you would shine this week. You totally bombed for me. There were so many songs that you could have done that would have killed. The end was a TRAINWRECK!!!!! Ouch. I am so sure that there were better songs out there.
9. Tim Urban - Sweet Love: It was just so vanilla to me. Nothing different. Like I was listening to someone perform this at a retirement home. Not crazy good but not bad. Just right smack in the middle. Reminds me of John Stevens a little. Playing it safe can get you sent home though.
8. Aaron Kelly - Ain't No Sunshine: Very shaky vocal. Not solid at all. I think that you were nervous. It was just bland for me. I think that you have a lot of potential. Keep working at grounding your vocals.
7. Siobhan Magnus - Through The Fire: Not a bad vocal but not a great one. There were some iffy notes but you can still sing. Your vocal tone is so good. You just have to be certain of the pitches. Be careful to not get too high and out of control. You tried to tackle Chaka and it was okay. Those are some big shoes to fill though.
6. Casey James - Hold On I'm Coming: I liked this song for you. Yes, you may have forgotten a few lyrics but the sound of your voice was great. Especially for this song. I would love to see a little less cookie cutter from you. Switch it up a little. Take some risk.
5. Lee Dewyze - Treat Her Like A Lady: I would like to say that I am not a fan at all. He is my least favorite contestant but he did a great job with this song. Nothing more really to say.
4. Katie Stevens - Chain Of Fools: Wonderful vocal. Powerful and just where you need to be. I still feel like I don't know who you are as an artist. Overall pretty solid vocal.
3. Andrew Garcia - Forever: Thank you for bringing it back. I don't what has changed but I like it. I feel like you have your mojo back. I loved the toned down version of this song. Great song choice. You stayed in the key and you added your vocal charisma to it. Awesome.
2. Crystal Bowersox - Midnight Train To Georgia: Excellent. She is the most comfortable to me. Just like Fantasia, Melinda, and Clay. She is so pro at this. I think that it is her's to lose. Definitely. Not the best of the night but very very close second.
1. Michael Lynche - Ready For Love: One of my favorite songs. Wow I really really loved your performance. It was subdued and heart felt. It was real. I don't typically like male singers but you took me there this week. I LOVED IT!!!!!
Good night even though I was not a fan of some of the song choices. I was shocked by a couple of contestants. They managed to at least gain my support. Some also dropped on my radar. What a difference a week makes. It was almost like some of them just wanted to get on the tour. My bottom 3 are Aaron, Tim, and Didi. I think that Tim and Didi may definitely go in the bottom. I think we may get a surprise visit by Siobhan or Casey. I think that Didi will go home this week. I hate to say that because I really liked her during the first week of the finals. We shall see.
