AMERICAN IDOL 9: TOP 7 Inspirational Songs
7. Casey James - Don't Stop: Please stop singing the same type of songs. Man, I have had just about enough of you. Does anyone else not hear his uncontrollable vibrato? Vibrato can be controlled. You just have to focus. Bad song choice.
6. Tim Urban - Better Days: Well, there is not much I can say about this performance. It wasn't bad and it wasn't great. Good/Average is the best that I can give it. You are improving though.
5. Michael Lynche - Hero: This went nowhere for me. It was like you were singing it as part of your shortened set at a bar. Then the band didn't want to do it anymore so all of the energy was sucked from it and it just fell flat. I hope that this is your last misstep. I would really like to see you crack the top 4.
4. Aaron Kelly - I Believe I Can Fly: First off, 10 points down for the song choice. I knew that this one was coming for you. It was so predictable. Now with that said, I think that you did a decent job with the arrangement. Key change and all. I still think that you need to work on your vocal stamina. Other than that, pretty good.
3. Siobhan Magnus - When You Believe: Hmm... I did not like the song choice for her. She did an okay job with it. It was verging on boring but she still has one of the better vocals. I wish that someone would point her back into the right direction. Her semi finals and her "Paint It Black" were phenomenal. Now she needs to start pulling out the big guns.
2. Lee Dewyze - The Boxer: Beautiful. I just wish that you would have such a guttural sound on every song. Probably one of your best vocals by far. Everything was in the key!!!! Good work. Everyone has been saying a Lee/Crystal final. I still don't want it but I could see it as a possibility.
1. Crystal Bowersox - People Get Ready: Leaps and bounds above the rest. This is why: you have originality, truth, and vocals. Yes you cried at the end but hey girl that just made you less one dimensional. I was so happy that you started acappella. When that is done, you are just showing everyone that you are the real deal. Out of all of the contestants, I would trust her with the title the most.
I would like to sum up the night by saying that Crystal is by far the one that I truly deem a vocalist. I mean in seasons past we have had all types of battles. Contestants who gave their all, not just to win it but to showcase who they are and what they enjoy doing. Letting the passion of their life shine. Crystal is the only one who is laying it all out on the line. I just don't feel it from anyone else. I am telling you if Angela Martin was in this competition with Crystal that would be your battle. (Still upset about that decision). If Crystal doesn't win, the credibility is completely out the door. It is already 90% there. That would just send it over the edge.
As far as results, I am hoping that Casey gets the axe but I am sure that it will be between Aaron, Tim, and Siobhan. For some reason, I think it may be Siobhan going home.
