Ya’ll. Come on, when is this season going to get better? I was very excited to be on the big stage last night for the Top 12. Finally felt like AI again. Those weeks from 24-12 were brutal. So here’s what I think of those that I can remember:
Brandon: please go home. you sing well, but not THAT well. you were unoriginal and you forgot your words, dude.
Melinda: you melted my heart, brought tears to my eyes. YOU. ARE. AWESOME.
Blake: yikes. kind of cool arrangement. props for doing something original but the voice wasn’t good this time around. too much emphasis on the music instead of the voice.
Chris S: not. good. his voice was great, but he butchered that song. i could barely tell what it was
Phil Stacey: decent. middle of the pack though, nothing inspiring.
Chris Richardson: simon was right, horrendous voice tonight. heather and i keep saying he sounded like a bad justin impersonator.
Lakisha: fantastic. what else can you say about her. she’s such a pro.
Gina: i really liked her. good voice, good performance but she’s forgettable for some reason.
Stephanie: she did really well but i kept waiting for the tease to be over and the good part. but it never came. so a little let down although her voice and performance was actually good.
Jordin: wow. i’m impressed. i literally rolled my eyes when she was sitting on stage hoping she wasn’t trying to do a fantasia thing. but it was really great. not sure if i agree she’s on melinda’s level though.
Is that it? I’m forgetting 2 people.
OH! Sanjaya. Ya’ll, what is up with him? He sounded HORRIBLE. My theory on him is that all the little girls like him..you know why? Because of High School Musical. He looks like one of those guys. And you know how much 13 and 14 year olds LOVE that movie? You know how much TIME 13 and 14 year olds have to do nothing but vote for 2 hours? So, yeah, I don’t think he’s going anywhere, but please let’s hope he does.
And who else….
Oh! Haley. Yeah, so I really liked Haley last night. You know, she was off pitch A LOT and she forgot words. But you know, she finally sounded like she wasn’t on broadway and like she actually belonged in 2007. So, you know, good for her. She reminded me a good bit of Katharine McPhee last night in her look.
