If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

It must be hard to be on stage and know you are up to be knocked out.And it must be even harder to contain the disappointment after you know you are not going any further.

You see, the reason I say this is because of what happened tonight.

Now, if you didn’t watch tonight’s episode, then you probably don’t know who was knocked out of American Idol 7. And if you don’t want to know, then stop reading now. I don;t wanna spoil it for you.

Anyway, tonight we see Alaina lose it when she loses and almost refuses to sing. I don’t know about you, but I felt really sad for her. I know she wasn’t the best talent and her song choice was all wrong for her, but to see her sort of cry and stuff made it a little sad.

Lucky we got Paula there to make things all rosey again.

… And even Simon chipped in too.

Anyway, there were 3 others who won’t be going on. And if you want to watch what happened, here are a few clips for you.

Enjoy

As you probably know, Brooke White is cute. 

… Real cute!

Anyway, she also has a really cute voice. She sort of reminds me like jewel or something. Although bubblier or something.Now it is a great song choice for her. And the judges agree too.

Anyway, she has this cute look she gives everyone. And if you didn’t get the chance to watch her, have a look at this.

Was the second half of the show any better? Not really.

Amanda Overmeyer made a huge mistake tonight singing “Carry On Wayward Son” by Kansas. Her hair looked like something out of the Addams Family but I will give her credit on the cool pants. Her vocals were just horrible. She sounded out of breath in some parts trying to strain and hold the notes out. When she finished she didn’t seem too happy about it. Randy told her she picked the wrong song. Paula tells her that she can dance. Too bad it’s not a dancing competition, huh? Simon said he “really really didn’t get that.”

Alaina Whitaker did a pretty lame job of singing the classic Olivia Newton John hit “Hopelessly Devoted To You”. There was a bit of shouting at the end and Randy was dead on the money when he pointed out how pitchy and sharp she was throughout the whole song. Simon can’t believe how old fashioned she was, “it’s like your grandmother prepared you for this audition.”

So much for liking Alexandrea Lushington. I don’t even know what song she chose but it was bad all around. Randy told her she played it way too safe. Simon said he was a big fan of hers but it appears as if she is struggling now. He called her inconsistent, uncomfortable and boring. It looks like her nerves are getting the best of her. I hope she improves soon.

Kady Malloy did a completely dreadful rendition of Heart’s “Magic Man”. All three judges did not like her performance. Simon told her she was trying too hard to be like Christina Aguilera. She needs to work on being herself and focusing on her vocals rather than trying to look sexy.

Asia’h Epperson did a pretty decent job of “All By Myself”. For one thing, she looked fantastic. Judging on the song’s difficulty, Randy said she did a good job of it. He really liked the ending but I was kind of hoping for a little bit more power at the end. Still, a good effort. Simon flat out told her she is not that good of a singer and the song showed her up. He called Asia’h’s song choice a “silly decision”.

I don’t know ladies and gentleman… I think the boys are way more talented than the girls this year.

Tonight the top 10 ladies showed off their 70’s stuff.

Carly Smithson did Heart’s “Crazy On You” and it was good but Simon said she really needs to choose a song that showcases her talents a little better. He calls her the girl to beat in the competition.

The lovely Syesha Mercado looked and sounded wonderful tonight but the judges didn’t like her choice of song.

There is something about Brooke White that just seems so sweet and genuine. Tonight she went with Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain” and brought her guitar on stage with her. It’s not like she is an amazing vocalist or anything but she is very talented. Randy and Paula loved her choice of song and as for Simon? - “Okay, Brooke I absolutely loved it!”

Ramiele Malubay did a nice job tonight but it wasn’t enough to impress the judges like last week. Randy called it okay vocally, but not as good as last week. Paula said the song didn’t show her voice off and Simon actually agrees with Paula. He calls her one of the top 3 singers in the competition but that song wasn’t her best.

Contrary to what everybody believed during the auditions, Kristy Lee Cook just doesn’t seem to have what it takes. I didn’t like her performance at all tonight. Her vocals were even scratchy and verging on shouting towards the end. Randy said it was a 100% improvement from last week and he liked it. Paula tells her that she’s back. Simon tells her she needs to figure out who she is as a singer by sticking to a more country sound.

Hmmm… I don’t know about you but I wasn’t all that impressed with these girls.  Stay tuned for the 2nd half coming up shortly.

Now for the second half of tonight’s show…

David Hernandez did a fantastic version of “Papa Was A Rolling Stone”. He came out with attitude and personality and performed the hell out of it. Randy praises him by saying “that’s how to put it down. That was hot.”, Paula calls it “perfect” and Simon says, “in my opinion that was the best vocal of the night so far.”

Dear Jason Yeager,

You are a great guy. But please go back to your day job as a singing waiter. Your performance was a total karaoke sensation. Paula said your song didn’t show off your range. Simon called you “awkward and ordinary… Like you were drunk at a party” at the end. Dude… I’m pretty sure you should start packing your bags.

Sincerely,

AmericanIdol7Blog

Chikezie Eze left his pimp suit at home tonight and decided to come back in casual wear. Loved his performance tonight. Randy called it “blazin’”, Paula said it was “brilliant” and as for Simon? Well first he can’t get the guy’s name right so he decides to call him “Chi”. Says it was a clever choice of song and a million times better than last week.

David Cook is still trying hard but not quite hitting the mark. He comes out playing guitar this week and while I want to like him so bad, something just doesn’t do it for me. David was all about the performance and not so much the vocal. Something is seriously lacking.

American Idol clearly saved the best for last tonight. (Yes, I am being totally biased here. Sue me!) David Archuletta brought the house down with a gorgeous, heartfelt performance of the John Lennon classic “Imagine”. David does his own unique version and it is spectacular! To quote Randy, “that’s one of the best vocals I’ve ever heard on this show.” Paula confesses her love by telling David she wants to squeeze him and “dangle [him] from my rearview mirror”. Simon said it was very risky… and right now David is the one to beat. My gut tells me that he is going to win this year.

Tonight American Idol is down to the top 10 guys. The theme? Classic ’70s. Let’s see how they did.

First up, Michael Johns busted out the Fleetwood Mac and did a pretty good job of it. He sounded good and brought a lot of energy although it was a little dramatic towards the end. Randy and Paula thought he did a good job. Simon called it okay but pointed out that it was his worst performance thus far.

Before getting on stage, we learned that Jason Castro does not like to do interviews. It seems he just doesn’t know how to act if he isn’t performing. Tonight he sang along with his guitar again and it was really beautiful besides being a little off pitch towards the end. Randy says the vocals are just okay and Paula thinks he’s cute. At least Paula wasn’t drunk this time around. She tells him to sing without the guitar next week. Simon calls it a “schmoltzy” effort.

Side note: Am I the only one who thinks Jason Castro looks exactly like a young John Travolta with dreadlocks?

Luke Menard’s performance tonight was a complete and total disaster in my opinion. Freddie Mercury is probably rolling over in his grave over Luke’s terrible rendition of “Killer Queen”. You may has well of called it “Killing Queen” because that’s just what he did. His voice was high pitched and strange, he was making weird faces and it was just creepy all the way around. Paula said it was the perfect song… umm, okay so maybe she WAS drunk after all! Simon got it right by calling it whiny and theatrical.

Robbie Carrico just didn’t do it for me tonight. His song was corny and very karaoke-esque. While Randy was not too happy with it, Paula defended him and politely told him he played it safe.

Did you know that Danny Noriega was in a punk rock band?? Tonight he sang a popular number from the Carpenters. You know, this kid is so obnoxious but he really does have a good voice. He showed off his lower range and I thought it was pretty darn good. Randy told him he needs to let himself go and stop concentrating so hard. Simon told him he looked terrific on camera and had a much better performance than last week.

As you probably know, last week we saw the top 24 sing some tunes from ol times.

… Like the boys sing Walk in the room, and the girls: Spanish Harlem.

Now, I wasn’t too happy with the songs they chose, but watched it.

Anyway, if you didn’t get the chance to see it, then I’ve found a clip for you.

You see, American Idol 7 is hotting up. And if you missed any episodes, you may try and catch up right here.

Anyway, stay tuned for this weeks episodes. I hear it’s gonna be a killer!

The second half of tonight’s show began with the lovely Alexandrea Lushington. I completely loved this girl in the auditions so I was excited to hear her again. She came out in what Paula described as a “dope” outfit and rocked out to “Spinning Wheel”. Her voice is great with only some slight issues in her upper register. The song arrangement was pretty neat. Randy and Paula love her and naturally, Simon “didn’t get it”.

Remember the chick who did all the voice impersonations at the auditions? We haven’t seen her since then so it was quite a surprise when Kady Malloy performed beautifully tonight. The judges didn’t seem to know what they were talking about on this one. Simon compared it to the night of the living dead and then goes as far as saying that a “pencil could impersonate” her! That was mean!

Asia’h Epperson did a rendition of Janis Joplin’s “Piece of my Heart” with a rock/hip-hop twist. Loved it!

Okay, remember tiny Ramiele Malubay with the great big voice? She NAILED it tonight. Her vocals, presence, attitude and look was just amazing. I had to agree with Simon when he said he wasn’t impressed at first but this definitely changes things!

Syesha Mercado put on yet another awesome performance. Mark my words – this girl is going to go far. She was simply outstanding and totally brought the house down at the end. Simon called her one of the most talented girls in the competition. He also added that she did “terrific” and “has the whole package”.

Lots of buzz went flying around about Carly Smithson especially after she wowed the judges during Hollywood Week. Tonight her vocals were strong but the poor gal struggled through some of the softer parts and had some straining mid-song. Unfortunately she has bronchitis and a cold. Randy still shows some love by calling her the best vocal in the whole top 24. Simon, on the other hand, wasn’t as thrilled.
