The top 12 took the stage to sing songs from the year they were born. While I was not impressed with the majority of the contestants, I was impressed with J-Lo's hair, it was HUGE!!!
Well here goes nothing:
Naima Adedapo- I do not like her as a contestant or a performer and last nights performance didn't change my mind, not in the least. I think she is "dreadful" as Simon would say, I miss him. Sounds like she is screaming into the microphone, and having her go first really sets a terrible tone for the evening.
Paul McDonald- Love him or hate him he does what he does and he has people talking about it. I personally am not a huge fan of his very unique voice, I don't see him going anywhere with it. Also, about his wack-O dance moves, doesn't it just look like he is going to fall over at any minute??? I wonder how much he drinks before going on stage. I mean I guess his performance of "Thats why they call it the Blues" was okay, he's just weird and won't be an American Idol.
Thia Megia- Sang "Colors of the Wind." While I have not really thought much of her to this point, I thought she did a really nice job tonight. I really liked her song choice and I think she sang it beautifully. And for the first time I actually think she has a good voice and think her performance tonight has probably kept her around for another week.
James Durbin- When I saw he was singing "I'll be there for you" I was so excited for his performance as I LOVE this song...Take a great performer, a great song, and something completely different than what he has showed us the past 2 weeks and you get ANOTHER awesome job by James Durbin. Is there anything he can't do?? James is also a genius, he now has Stephen Tyler agreeing to sing with him in the finale, never seen that before but bravo bravo...will get votes just to see that. As much as I have tried to not like him, I think I love him now :)
Hayley Rhinehart- really needed to come out and have her performance of a life time tonight. Besides being completely confused with who she is, totally agree with Randy here, I don't think her rendition of "I'm your baby Tonight" was good, kinda annoying actually.
Stefano Langone- Sang "If you don't know me by now" and this was exactly what he needed. He had a great performance and sang the crap outta that song. Good night for this guy!
Pia Toscano- Sang "Where do Broken Heart go." After 2 amazing performances the past 2 weeks, I think she slipped just a tad here, but I mean the bar was wayyyy high, so just slightly slipping is really no big deal for her. She's still the current front runner in my humble opinion. I would like to see something different next week, something more upbeat and more current/fun!
Scotty McCreery- sand "Can I trust you with my heart." This guy knows who he is, he is a great country singer. When he is singing I can just picture myself at Jiffy Lube Live watching him on stage at WMZQ fest or opening for one of country's great. Do I think he is the next country great, but an opener possibly. I think he sang just fine, sounds great, performance is again nothing special, but good job all around.
Karen Rodriguez- "Love will lead you back"- things that make you go hummm...this girl drives me crazy. I do not like her in the least, her singing makes me ears ring. I have a feeling America is with me on this, and thank goodness I am guessing this will be the last we hear of her. When you are singing to AMERICA sing in ENGLISH!
Casey Abrams - "Smells like Teen Spirit"- okay people, the screaming has got to stop. It does not sound good and does nothing for your viewers ears. This was just not good.
Lauren Alaina- "I'm the only one"- I really want Lauren to do awesome, I want her to be the best and I want her to be my favorite- I think she has teh "it factor" that it takes to be an American Idol. Born in 1994, make me feel super old. I don't think she has surpassed Pia but her performance tonight, even while being sick was awesome and she has completely redeemed herself. Love that she got the audience involved, she's a star!!
Jacob Lusk- "Alone"- He wants to be good so bad, but unfortunately he just isn't awesome. I think his performance like others was a lot of annoying yelling and boringness.
Soooo for the juicy predictions:
Safe for sure: Lauren, Pai, James, Scotty
My bottom 3: Naima, Karen, and Hayley or Jacob
Going home: Karen
