Bye-Bye David H.

So the first of the finalists fall. It seems strange this season that we are sending home singers who could have easily won previous seasons. I really am looking forward to seeing how this all plays out. Good bye to David H. who suffered more from rumors than a bad performance, may Amanda follow you next week. TTFN

The Top 12 & Songs From Lennon & McCartney

It was a strange night, I thought most of the contestants did well but unlike the judges I really enjoyed the performances that were closer to the originals. Brooke was fantastic and Ramiele was note perfect. Chikezie sounded good but looked a little like he had taken dancing lessons from Taylor Hicks. Amanda was shouty and mumbly as usual and Kristie didn't really pull of her country version of "Eight Days A Week" but she did get my attention. Poor David A. I feel so bad for him, it was obvious from the beginning that he was uncomfortable and once he lost the lyrics he just never got ahold of the song again. I'm not to worried for him at this point though as he definately has the popular vote, my guess is Syesha has had her last chance.

Top 3: Brooke, Ramiele, Chikezie
Bottom 3: Kristie, Syesha, David A.

Top 10 Guys Do The 70's

I'm not sure that the 70's were any kinder to the guys than the 60's were. Some were good, one was great, the rest were somewhere in the middle except of course for Danny. Admittedly Danny's vocals were much better this week; but the overly dramatic gestures, dancing, and expressions just ruin it for me. David A. won the night with a stunning version of Imagine for the show's final performance.

Top 3: David A., David H., Luke
Bottom 3: Michael, Jason Y., Danny

American Idol Season 7

Well, I can't say I was anymore thrilled with the audition process this year; but I really did like Hollywood Week more. And even though there were people I would have liked to see in the Top 24, I'm not disappointed in any of the judges choices.

So far I think my top 3 girls are Carly, Ramiele, and Amanda. Top 3 guys are Michael, David H., and tied at third David A. & Robbie. I reserve the right to change my mind at anytime, the semi-finals always bring out the best and worst of the group.

I don't even care too much that Carly has already had a contract. Let's be real if it had gone well for her she would already be a household name and not subjecting herself to the rigors of AI. Check out her video...



Looking forward to Tuesday and some great performances.
