Well folks,here's some Idol chatter. First off,good to have no Beatles. One week was good,but a second was more then enough, so instead tonights theme was picking a song in the year the contestants were born. Boy,did I feel old :)
We start off with Ramiele doing Hearts "Alone". While it was no Carrie Underwood, this was the best performance by Rami since we stared the final 12. She showed the voice we knew she had,it was upbeat,etc...
Moving on to Jason Castro doing "Tears from the storm". Surprise,he played a guitar,sat on a stool,etc....yep,same ol stuff we have seen for 6 weeks,yet nobody tells him to shake things up,that he's boring.etc....Kinda like being at a pizza parlor and having a guy there playing a guitar. Yawn.
On stage next is Syesha,and while I thought she was the best last week,she was just ok this week while doing "If I was your woman". She was good,but I just didn't like the song. Nothing special.
Chikezie then is up,and unlike the last two weeks of plesent surprises,this week continues the boring trend,by him doing "If only for one night". Nothing upbeat,like Syesha,nothing special, no wow factor.
We then turn to Brooke White who returns to her style,and does " Every breath you take" the Police classic. She returns to the Piano,and does it well,slowing it down,making it her own. The judges didn't like it when the band joined part way thru,but on this song, ya kinda need the band to join at some point. Still good,and better then last week.
Now the show has begun, Michael the Aussie takes over and does "We are the champions",and well it was the single best performance of the night. Lots of fun,and really got things going.
Carly is up next and takes on "Total eclipse of the heart". She was good,not great but still solid,and while I'm not a Carly fan,it was one of her better performances.
David Arculata is then up and does "The Voice". the kid is good,but I just feel the judges try to push him on us. This performance was more like being at a revival or maybe a Michael W Smith concert at best. He's pretty much the same week after week,but the judges never say anything about that with him.
Then we turn to Kristy Lee Cook,and man is this girl smart. The last few weeks,she easly coulda been a goner,but somehow got lucky to survive, then this week, given a chance to pick a country song,she does. She did "God Bless the USA",and did it well,her best performance of the show so far,and add in the fact of all the stuff going on overseas,and with our military,and well she was so smart,picked a song that will get her votes,make folks remember her this week.....No going home this week .
Finally we wrap it up with David Cook,and while I look at him as a poor mans Daughtry,and also as one of the favorites, another word I gotta add to him now is Ballsy. He took Michael Jacksons "Billie Jean" and did it as a slow rock,and well he made it his own,and made it work big. To take one of MJ's signature songs,and completly change it up,yet make it work.well again, Amazing,good and Ballsy.
Bottom 3 will be: Jason Dreadlocks, Syesha, and Chikezie.
Going home is Chikezie.
