Ok,now is when I start in on my weekly recap of Idol,now that we have hit the Top 12. Tonight we went to the big stage,new lights,etc...and again the top 12,doing the songs of Lennon and McCartney. Here we go......
Show starts off with Shyesha,doing "Gotta get you into my life". She more or less did the Stevie Wonder version, and it was just ok. Not bad,just nothing special. Her hair did look better thou.
Next up is Chikezie,and he did a song I hadn't heard before,called "She's a woman". He started it off like something from O brother where are thou, with all the banjos, sitting down ,and I'm thinking, well we know who's leaving...but then like 20 seconds later, he gets up and turns this song into a rocker,and really goes to town,and it ends up being one of the better performances of the night. Is he safe that Chikezie? Oh so easy.
Then we go to Ramiele, who has a great voice,is cute, but always seems to be holding back. Tonight she sang a pretty song called "In my life". Problem was,it was boring.
Following that up is Mr.Dreadlocks, Jason,and he did "If I fell". This performance sounded just like his one 4 weeks ago when he sang "Daydream'. He sits on a stool,does these same style songs,and it's the same ol,same ol week after week. If they told Ramiele she was boring,then so was Dreadlock Dave.
Then up comes the fav that they seem to be pushing this year, Carlie. While the girl can sing,I just don't care for her. Maybe it's that she's already had a record shot with RCA a few years ago and flopped, maybe it's that tattoo look,maybe it's .....I dunno,I just don't care for her. But tonight she did "Come together",and for tonight she did. I like her little change/pause in the chorse,and tonight it worked for her.
Rocker David C. takes the stage next and puts on a rockin' performance of "Elanor Rigby". Very different,but like last week's "Hello", very good. He puts a rock edge on these songs and makes them work.
One of my favs Brooke White is up next and does a slow version of "Let it be". At the piano,she hit it right,just like in the past weeks.
Then comes dancer David H. and he tries to do "I saw her standing there". Notice I said tries. It was very karoke,very choppy,very poor.....Nothing special.
Amanda our rocker nurse is up then with "You can't do that" and while not as good as in past weeks, it was ok.
Aussie Michael takes the stage next and sings "Across the universe". Much like Dreadlock Dave and Ramiele, Boring.
Kristy Lee Cook, then takes a chance and goes country with " 8 days a week",and while the judges may not have liked it, it worked. She took a song,made it hers,and had fun doing it. It sounded like maybe a LeAnn Rhymes or at worst a Branson show, but it was better then alot of tonights performances,and while she's no Carrie Underwood, she could play this into a deal much like Pickler did.
Wrapped it up with another of this years fav, David A. and while lil David has been good tonight he was just alright,while doing "We can work it out". Kinda like Shyesha,in that it wasn't bad,just not great. Luckly for david he was last,otherwise the voters might have forgotten this weeks performance of his.
My pick for the bottom three are........
Jason C., Ramiele, and David H.
and going home is Dancer David Hernandez.
Aggie out!
