AMERICAN IDOL 9: TOP 5 Frank Sinatra Night

After the major upset (for me) with the voting off of Siobhan Magnus, I thought that I would not continue watching anymore. But it would be wrong of me to discontinue the blogs and to stop watching after I have watched every season since it first started. Hate to break a tradition.

5. Casey James - Blue Skies: Ooh, Casey. This was horrid. Flat and sharp all over the place. You looked so out of place. I was horrendous. I don't think that I said it enough. HORRIBLE!!! The worst that I have seen at this stage of the competition. I think that this performance really exposed your vocals. Yes, Kara was definitely right about the "lamb" vibrato or a tremolo. Horrific performance.

4. Lee Dewyze - That's Life: Can someone help me get aboard the Lee train because I don't see it. He is shouty and out of tune with no phrasing capabilities whatsoever. I don't think that he should even be considered as a final two contender. I wouldn't have put him in the top 12. I didn't care for him. If Idol wants to drown itself, they would allow Lee to win. He is like a mix of Taylor Hicks, Danny Gokey, and a very bad David Cook.

3. Aaron Kelly - Fly Me To The Moon: You showed a lot of confidence but I agree with Simon. It was still very mousey for me. I think that you have an outstanding country voice and I like that you stay true to that with every genre. I thought that it was one of your best performances but is that really saying a lot during Top 5 week?

2. Crystal Bowersox - Summer Wind: You looked nice but the vocals could have been a lot better. Especially from a frontrunner at this stage in the show. Don't get too comfortable or cocky. You haven't won yet so at least look like you care. Sorry that I got on that tangent but that bothers me more than anything. On to your performance, It was very laid back and very different for you. I thought that it was good but not great.

1. Michael Lynche - The Way You Look Tonight: Why do I find myself pulling for him? I think that he is cocky, arrogant, and he reminds me of me when he is performing. All qualities that I dislike. Maybe I am rooting for him because he is definitely the best vocal tone left in the competition or maybe because I vicariously want to live through him. Good song choice. I could have done without all of the physical drama. The vocal drama was great for me.

I think that it is bad when you are looking forward to next week. Actually I am looking forward to the end of the season. I can't wait for it to be over. It is very painful to watch artists do this to themselves. They don't give it their all. They are so inexperienced. Enough venting, on a happier note, I think that I have a good chance of getting involved in another idol competition. No promises but it was worth a shot. Check out MyndJack Radio Idol. If I can't win American Idol, I will try for all of the other competitions that are similar. I like singing different genres so this one should be awesome.
