AMERICAN IDOL 9: TOP 12 Rolling Stones Week
So tonight is the night of The Stones. Pretty much the fathers of Rock N' Roll. I think that, just like Beatles night, we are going to have some really good breakout performances. I am sure that some of our more experienced singers are going to have a ball game with this night. On the other hand, our more novice singers are going to have to fight really hard. Should be interesting.
12. Tim Urban - Under My Thumb: BORING!!!! I was totally rooting for him. I think that he could have a decent voice but he does not know what to do with it. His vocals weren't actually that bad but this was such a horrible arrangement. I am sure that all of the teen girls in America will be texting away. I think that American Idols should have an adult only rating. No more travesties like last week. Please.
11. Andrew Garcia - Give Me Shelter: Something just didn't sync for me. It was so under. It lacked rhythmic consistency and energy. Pitch was continuously under. Some of the riffs didn't work either. Hmm....a little bit of a mess for me.
10. Paige Miles - Honky Tonk Women: Her best performance. Moments remind me of Trenyce. Illness not a factor, this was an okay performance. Her big notes are definitely there. I would like to her what she does when she is better. Her runs and riffs need to be a lot cleaner though. Good song choice for her though.
9. Michael Lynche - Miss You: He is vocally ok but he is starting to personally annoy me. I was so there with him especially during his video package. His falsetto is a lot more solid than most others in the competition. I just hope that he can get his attitude in check.
8. Lee Dewyze - Beast Of Burden: He could potentially be very good. He just really needs to open his mouth and sing. His tone is very current and nice but I think that he needs to gain some more confidence. Great potential.
7. Lacey Brown - Ruby Tuesday: Her vocals are not grounded enough for me. She almost seems a little unsure of herself. Definitely her best performance to date. I can not wait to see what she does with other types of songs.
6. Katie Stevens - Wild Horses: Going into this night, I had it in my mind to not like anything that you did tonight. But how could I not like something about your performance? You didn't give me any reason to not like it. Your tone is so much mature than it should be for a 17 year old. I loved what you did with the song. You hit and held all of the right notes.
5. Casey James - It's All Over Now: It was bluesy and executed very well. You should sing like this more often. It felt very true to me. Very good job. Not one of my favorite songs though. The ending could have been a lot more solid. Overall, good job.
4. Aaron Kelly - Angie: BEST PERFORMANCE for you!!!! The song was perfect for him. Now I want to learn the song. He was dynamically great for being so young. He pulled back at the right moments. It was so connected. Great.
3. Didi Benami - Play With Fire: This performance reminded me of Natasha Bedingfield. I love her!!!! Yes, you missed a couple of lyrics but you recovered. I was truly impressed by your tone and your phrasing. It was so good for me. Emotionally strong performance.
2. Crystal Bowersox - You Can't Always Get What You Want: I thought that this was an amazing vocal. She did everything right with the song. Yea, she doesn't run around the stage but that is what makes me like her. She is just cool to me. I was grooving with her for the entire song.
1. Siobhan Magnus - Paint It Black: EVERYTHING FOR ME. It had the dramatics, vocals, arrangement, and climax that I needed. It should have been on the soundtrack for Alice In Wonderland. That section leading to "The Note" was phenominal. Crazy amazing.
MY BOTTOM 3: Tim Urban, Andrew Garcia, Paige Miles
REAL BOTTOM 3: Lacey Brown, Paige Miles, Andrew Garcia
MY PICK TO GO HOME: Andrew Garcia (Tim's song was boring but Andrew was just bad vocally tonight. I really wished that he could live up to his hype. Frustrating. )
WHO WILL GO HOME: Hmm.... Paige Miles or Andrew Garcia. Maybe even Lacey Brown.
