The Top 36 have been chosen by the judges. Now, America gets to decide who is good enough to compete to be your next American Idol and who to dump. For three next weeks, 3 groups of 12 will perform live in millions of viewers to win viewer votes. The top 3 vote getters move on to the top 12 and a wild card show where the judges will put 3 through to the top 12. America, choose wisely.
This week's theme: Billboard's Hot 100 Songs
Jackie Tohn-"A Little Less Conversation"-Elvis Presley. Good energy, good entertainment, she worked the stage and got Paula dancing but Simon hates her leather trousers; wild card candidate
Ricky Braddy-"A Song For You"-Leon Russell; Unbelievable performance, he rocked that performance, could go far in the competition, Simon called him "shy guy with good voice"; Ricky has to sing a song that is familar..that song is unfamiliar to me
Alexis Grace-Memphis girl-"Never Loved A Man"-Aretha Franklin; White girl can sing soul music!! Fantastic; best contestant; Simon called her "Dark Horse" and compared her to Kelly Clarkson; TOP 10..EVEN TOP 3
Brent Keith-"Hick Town"-Boring song choice-again an unfamiliar song; his Idol dream is over
Stevie Wright-"You Belong With Me"-Taylor Swift; Bad Song Choice; Terrible; out of tune; zero chance of winning
Anoop Desai-"Angel of Mine"-Monica; Interesting song choice, great potential, too serious; loosen up, Noop Dogg
Casey Carlson-"Every Little Thing She Does It's Magic"-The Police; Poor performance, wrong song for her to sing...she has booked her plane ticket home
Michael Sarver-"I Don't Want To Be"-Gavin DeGraw; OK performance; capable of better
Anne Marie Boskovich-"Natural Woman"-Aretha Franklin-Old fashioned; hotel singer; this could be the end of her journey
Stephen Fowler-"Rock With You"-Michael Jackson; Remembered the lyrics this time; Bad song choice; uncomfortable; forgettable; pointless
Tatiana Del Toro-Don't Vote for her-"Saving All My Love For You"-Whitney Houston; She is the "Drama Queen"; OK performance; begging for votes--sorry, Tatiana--you won't last long in the competition
Danny Gokey-"Hero"-Mariah Carey; got the crowd on their feet; he could sell out arenas; Simon liked Danny's peformance but it could be a matter of time before Simon becomes a fan of Danny
Wednesday night, 24 million votes have put Alexis Grace, Michael Sarver, and Danny Gokey to the top 12...can't wait to see Alexis every week and vote for her. I voted for Alexis 35 times Tuesday night.
Next week, the second group of 12 takes the stage including Starkville, Mississippi native Jazmine Murray and oh no, Norman Gentle!!!
I am happy that Tatiana is gone from Idol...I like this new season of Idol!!!
