‘American Idol’ It’s all about girl power! Show recap
Ryan tells us the flu hit the American Idol contestants. But, the show must go on.
I’m not sure if it was the flu or what but the energy level for the whole show seemed a little subdued. Nonetheless, here we go.
In order of appearance tonight (Feb 20); Kristy Lee Cook, 24 - Selma, OR
My Take - Okay performance… a little lifeless though (oh… she’s got the flu.)
Randy - “It wasn’t your best performance. It was a little rough around the edges”
Paula - “Being sick and being the first one is a double whammy.”
Simon - “The song didn’t suit you. Your performance was robotic.”
Joanne Borgella, 25 - Hoboken, NJ
My Take - Struggled a little - or was it the arrangement of the song? Certainly finished strong though!
Randy - “That was pretty good - it felt a little unsure.”
Paula - “Pull it together and enjoy it.”
Simon - “I didn’t like it at all. It was very-very sub-standard.”
Alania Whitaker , 16 - Tulsa, OK
My Take - Best of the night so far. I thought she had great energy and stage presence.
Randy - “It was like goin’ on.”
Paula - “You nailed it.!
Simon - “I think you’re very good.”
Amanda Overmyer, 23 - Mulberry, IN
My Take - Great energy! Great show!
Randy - “Bluesy - rocky - chick. I like it.”
Paula - ” I just love everything you do. You’re the real deal.”
Simon - “i really like you. I genuinely think you are authentic.”
Amy Davis, 25 - Lowell, IN
My Take - Not as good as the auditions… perhaps she has the flu too - finished strongly though.
Randy - “A lot of pitch problems.”
Paula - “The camera loves you.’
Simon - “You look great but you didn’t sound great. It became really, really dull.”
Brooke White, 24, Mesa, AZ
My Take - She didn’t seem to hit her full range in the beginning - got better as the song went along.
Randy - “You are supposed to singing the living daylights out of it.”
Paula - “You have your own thing. I think you did a great job.”
Simon - “it was very you… but I am struggling a little.”
Alexandrea Lushington, 17 - Douglasville, GA
My Take - First singer of the night to make the song her own as well as to show us her range. She’ll make it through.
Randy - “I gotta say it again, it’s about being young. You got it!”
Paula - “You thought about your performance from top to bottom.”
Simon - “I didn’t get it. Reminded me of a 1960’s musical.”
Kady Malloy , 18 - Houston, TX
My Take - It would have been great if the song could have pick-up the pace along the way. A remix.
Randy - “Okay for me… constrained and controlled.”
Paula - “We want to see the fun Kady.”
Simon - ” Amazingly, for once, I agree with Paula. That was like night of the living dead.”
Asiah Epperson, 19 - Joplin, MO
My Take - she has a great salutary voice although I thought her performance was a little fake - maybe she was just trying too hard.
Randy - “You did your thing with that.”
Paula - “You had some good moments.”
Simon - “It was my favorite of the night.”
Ramiele Malubay, 20 - Miramar, FL
My Take - What a voice! My favorite for the night, so far.
Randy - “Very Classy… almost like a pro.”
Paula - “You are a force to be reckoned with.”
Simon - “You out-sung every single contestant.”
Syesha Mercado, 21, Sarasota, FL
My Take - I didn’t get the song… or maybe it was her style with the song… or something wasn’t working for me - but what do I know.
Randy - “Not my favorite performance.”
Paula - “Fun. Big.”
Simon - “You are probably one of the most talented girls of this competition.’
Carly Smithson, 23 - San Diego, CA
My Take - Very strong performance… I thought it was the best of the night.
Randy - “That is what the show is all about. best vocal of the top 24.”
Paula - “Beautiful inflections.”
Simon - “I didn’t get it… Way to old-fashioned. Everything for me was a let down.”
Tonight’s outing was a little lack luster… perhaps it was the flu bug… whatever it was I’m hoping for more excitement next week. After saying that, I have to question the choice of songs and perhaps even the mixing. the vocals seemed to be covered up a little too much for my liking.

Tweet‘Project Runway’ reunion show - Who will be fan favorite?
Tonight (Feb 20) Bravo TV airs one of my least favorite shows of the ‘Project Runway’ season, the reunion show.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the reunion idea. But, I’d rather wait until the season is over and the winner is announced to see a reunion show. The placement of the show always makes me think that Bravo is just dragging out the season to keep eyeballs on their channel.
While much of the show is likely to be centered around someone who was kicked auf’d the show earlier in the season there is the revealing of the fan favorite. My money is on Jack… how could it be anyone else?
The show airs tonight (Feb 20) at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
Thoughts on the fan favorite?
