The 12
i've been following american idol this season. i missed aussie idol last year but what-evs. anyway.
i've wanted to give reviews but i've been so busy. and still am. but i'll just start today.
beatles night, woohoo! overall it was really surprising, many of the underdogs really upped their game, but the favourites unfortunately kinda fell flat. here goes a quick review.
1. syesha. oh no! that was weird! she looked pretty uncomfy. it wasn't that baad, but the arrange was weird. the transition to the bridge was weird. bottom 3 you go!
2. chikeze easy. wow. that really blew me away. really impressed by him cos i never really paid attention to him before. but he still lacks that star quality.
3. ramiele lullaby. is. my. kathleen. fix.
lol. don't you think she channels kathleen-ness? she should totally replace sun! anyway. it was sweet and subtle. i thought it was her best so far. i didn't like her previously cos her singing voice was really different from her speaking voice. it was heavy and trying-to-be-divaish. it seemed fakish to me. and hey! no offence! but i'm guilty of that sometimes too. but today she channelled a lighter voice and i liked it this way.
4. jason. not a big voice dude but it worked. it was nice. not my fave but i do respect him lots for his uniqueness.
5. carly. it was another impressive performance! similar to last week. very rockish. very well done.
6. david cook. so i loved this guy from the start. he's kinda a dark horse but he rocks out all the songs everytime. he's been so consistent. really enjoyable.
7. brooke. nice. in her own little hippe style. why does she always look so frightened, or is sheepish a better word? i think the voices in her head are saying "oh no...i hope they like it...do they like it? oh no they hate it...no! they like it! wait a minute...i don't believe they like it...i think they are making a mistake...sheesh."
8. gay stripper. whatever. you robbed danny. boring. i'm so not interested.
9. crazy lion, aka overmyer. amanda is back in her element. it was fun. crazy. very her.
10. aussie pin-up boy. i've been so disappointed with michael johns lately. he's just not shining. i don't know why. i loved his top 24 performance. and i thought he would be my favourite. but ever since then...he seems to be just sailing through. not trying. so disappointing.
11. kristy lee underwood. ugh. another one who robbed danny. hideous country rendition. urgh. i reckon she's leaving.
12. little boy. he has been my fave. i was so freaked out for him. really messed up today man. it wasn't that bad. i actually liked some of the runs. it's very him. but his little clip kinda screwed him over...forewarning the disaster that was gonna happen.
so that's that. gay stripper or country singer please leave.
