Latest Update: ‘American Idol’ top twelve perform
A new set yet the same old Ryan Seacrest introduction - I’m sure they’ll get around to freshening up Ryan in a few weeks.
The top 12 make history this week - singing the songs from the Lennon and McCartney catalog.
So how’d they do?
Syesha Mercado
Song - “Got to get you into my life”
My Take - wow! what a makeover. I thought she looked great - her singing underwhelmed me.
Randy - Nice arrangement. It stated a little rough for me. It’s a big old fun song.
Paula - You know you’re a good singer - midway through you found your zone.
Simon - I thought it was better than alright - you looked very-very nervous.
Chikezie
Song - “She’s a Woman”
My Take - What a fun arrangement! I might actually download this one from Itunes! To think he thought he was going home last week.
Randy - Dawg - let me tell you something - who knew. Chikezie smashed it.
Paula - I’ve been waiting for this.
Simon - I’m really surprised I agree with these two. You took control over the stage - I thought you were terrific.
Ramiele Maluby
Song - “In My Life”
My Take - nice performance - certainly didn’t take any risks
Randy - It was kind of pretty - it was also kinda of pretty boring.
Paula - It was pretty safe - I feel like you’re holding back.
Simon - I was bored to tears throughout the entire song.
Jason Castro
Song - ‘If I Fell”
My Take - Remind me why he’s still here?
Randy - I liked it - I didn’t love it. I found myself tuning out.
Paula - I disagree with Randy - I feel your heart.
Simon - It was student in a bedroom - midnight.
Carly Smithson
Song - “Come Together”
My Take - I wasn’t sure at first - but I think I liked it. Not her best - still a fun arrangement. And the crowd goes wild!
Randy - You were strong, confident - stellar performance.
Paula - it was i was already watching a star.
Simon - Week after week so far I think you’ve chosen the wrong song - until tonight.
David Cook
Song - “Eleanor Rigby “
My Take - Could he pick a note - he seemed to catch so many it was grating. I’m guessing I’m not in is demographic.
Randy - It was rocking.
Paula - You are the dark horse. You are front man here on American Idol
Simon - I thought it was brilliant - If this show remains a talent competition rather than a popularity contest - you could win.
Brooke White
Song - “Let it Be”
My Take - What a great song to showcase her voice - nicely done. That song always gets me.
Randy - I don’t know if this is your strongest performance. You have all of this conviction - you gave a heartfelt performance.
Paula - This is your niche - picking songs where American can feel your heart.
Simon - It was one of the best performances for the night - it was believable.
David Hernandez
Song - “I Saw Her Standing There”
My Take - I’m guessing he’s going home - I don’t think America got to see anything on the stage tonight to suggest he’s the next American Idol
Randy - You’ve got a big voice - so on this one - there was just too much going on.
Paula - I feel like you over did it a little bit. Too much.
Simon - David, No, No, No.
Amanda Overmyer
Song - ” You Can’t Do That”
My Take - I think I liked it… I’m just not sure how this will be received by America
Randy - You took a Beatles song and rocked it out!
Paula - You’re having fun - I’m blown away by you.
Simon - I understood about 30% of what you said - you are like a breath of fresh air.
Michael Johns
Song - “Across the Universe”
My Take - What’s not to like about this performance? He made this his own and enjoyable - nice job. A little David Gray like - Doesn’t he remind y’all of Billy from Six Feet Under.
Randy - A little sleepy - .
Paula - your quiet confidence showed on stage.
Simon - It was solid - it was good - you’ve got to let yourself go. It was all a little bit like that.
Kristy Lee Cook
Song - “8 Days a Week”
My Take - did we teleport to the county fair? I thought this was a little Dolly Parton - a little too cheesy. Certainly a toe tapper if nothing else.
Randy - There were some parts I liked about it. I’m kinda torn on this one.
Paula - I didn’t enjoy it. I didn’t get it.
Simon - I thought it was horrendous - you sounded like Dolly Parton on Helium.
David Archuleta
Song - “We Can Work it Out”
My Take - Oops.. OMG, He forgot the words… How could that happen - Oh yeah, he is only 17… all in all not a great showing - he could be going home after that - although this is a popularity contest right.
Randy - It was not on point. It felt forced.
Paula - This wasn’t your best week. You can never let it show on your face.
Simon - That was a mess - you stumbled over the lyrics in the beginning - it was your weakest performance so far.
Who do you think worthy of being sent home?
