Originally Posted By mele Yeah, no kidding. Meh. I decided not to go to Borders because the show is one but maybe I'll go anyway.

Originally Posted By DAR Of the girls tonight Amy was the only one I would label as truly bad. Joanne was safe and boring. I don't get the love for Carly she's just okay to me. Kady and Christy were decent but they need to better than decent. That leaves the remaining seven girls and I thought they were all really good. If I were to rank tonight I'd say: 1. Syesha 2. Amanda 3. Asia'h 4. Ramele 5. Alaina 6. Alexandria 7. Brooke 8. Christy 9. Kady 10. Carly 11. Joanne 12. Amy For the guys: 1. Michael 2. David A 3. Jason C 4. David C 5. Robbie 6. David H 7. Colton 8. Chikeze 9. Jason Y 10. Danny 11. Luke 12. Garrett
Originally Posted By DlandDug The girls should give the boys a run for their money this year. Kristy Lee Cook: A one note performance, I thought. A good sound, but very repetitious. And is it just me, or does she have the creepiest, deadest eyes? Joanne Borgella: Her song got away from her. She kind of disappeared on the low notes, and was a bit shrieky on the high ones. Maybe it was just nerves. Alaina Whitaker: She has such a pure sweet voice, and it was a great song choice. She needs to watch the simpering, though. Amanda Overmyer: What??? What was that? Amy Davis: This was just a dreadful, dreadful performance. Wobbly, flat, scooping and sliding into notes. Bye bye! Brooke White: Not a good song choice, but a really good voice. She needs to be more confident. Alexandrea Lushington: A good, powerful voice in a very confident performance. Kady Mallory: A solid, if ordinary performance. Some of her facial expressions were a bit alarming. Asia'h Epperson: Wonderful performance. Pushed a little on the high notes, but otherwise a very good job. Ramele Malubay: Great performance. Nice build to a big finish. I was a little worried that it was going a bit karaoke at the beginning. Syesha Mercado: Wow! Good presence, great performance. She really brought it home. Carly Smithson: Good song choice. What a fabulous, pure voice. My only minor criticism is that she needs to avoid wincing when she hits the high notes. (And Simon is wrong!) After a couple of dull performances, the girls were really quite good tonight. Amy Davis, obviously, needs to go home. Then, perhaps, Kristy or Joanne. But it's hard to say, aside from Amy, that there are any truly bad singers in this bunch.

Originally Posted By DlandJB I liked Asia'h. Ramiele, Syesha and Carly. Syesha was my favorite. After all the hype about this season having the best talent yet, I'm having some trouble seeing it. It was fairly boring. And what's up with any kids singing the same songs (both a guy and a girl did "Happy Together") They have ten years of music to choose from and that's the best they can do? Any word on any of the oher themes this year?
Originally Posted By Dabob2 <Amanda Overmyer: What??? What was that?> The blues, my friend. That was the blues. And not the usual watered-down blues you usually get from white idol singers either; that was the real deal. Obviously I like Amy. Also very good were Syesha, Ramele, Asia'h, and Carly (yes, Simon WAS wrong). The second half of the show was a lot stronger than the first half. Ramele gets extra degree of difficulty points for her song, which doomed the very talented Stephanie last year. The others ranged from only okay to pretty good (though I think Joanne was better than she showed - major nerves problem last night), with the exception of Amy, who was just awful. I mean, she wasn't even in the same freaking zip code as the pitch. I think she leaves tonight (unless America is also tone deaf), and maybe Kristy, who has the triple whammy of going first, being forgettable, and having those creepy eyes.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 <After all the hype about this season having the best talent yet, I'm having some trouble seeing it. It was fairly boring.> Agreed! And the girls were better than the guys on balance. This is not the most talented group they've ever had, but they pretty much have to say that if they don't want their ratings to erode any more, I think.

Originally Posted By RoadTrip <Amanda Overmyer: What??? What was that?> Good music that might actually sell some CD's. Idol keeps picking these middle of the road pop singers while the idol contestants who've sold the most albums are Underwood (Country) and Daughtry (Rocker). I wish the teeny-boppers who vote on this stuff would grow a little in their tastes. Yes, I know Clarkson has sold a bunch of CD's. But even Clarkson moved away from pop after her first CD which probably counts for her longevity and continued sales.
Originally Posted By DAR <<and maybe Kristy, who has the triple whammy of going first, being forgettable, and having those creepy eyes.>> Well then all girls with creepy eyes should be so hot. Plus she's got a great set of um.....lungs.
Originally Posted By mele So, I'm watching their sing-along at the beginning of the show and I keep expecting them to break into "It's a Sunshine Day" by the Brady Bunch.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 I had to re watch to zone in on Kristy's creepy eyes. Whoa! Someone must have said to her, you need to open your eyes more. I doubt they suggested to bug them out. From dead to cartoon. LOL, mele about the Skipper doll!
