Top 12 Performances

This post is for my five readers who love my Idol posts :) For semi-obvious reasons I chose not to post David's performance, but you can find it on YouTube.com (I say semi, because if you didn't watch the show, you might not have heard what happened). Anyway, here it is folks.

Seyesha: I liked her at the beginning of the season. I don't think she has chosen a song that really showcases her talent though! I am getting bored with her quickly.

Chikezie: LOVED his performance. Aside from the fact that he and Ryan were being total spazzes together on stage, he just looked like he was having such a good time, and he can sing! I giggled through the whole song b/c it was so fun.

Jason: I'm a big fan. It wasn't my favorite song, but I thought he did enough to keep him there another week. Does anybody else think he's pretty? He is honestly prettier than some WOMEN.

Ramiel: B O R I N G.

David H: Gross. Ever since finding out about his sketchy past, I just can't even stand him. Some might say I'm judgmental. That's fine. You can judge me if you want :) I don't think he deserves to win. I'm not too stressed about it though.

Carly: Wow. She is spot on every week. I don't think she'll win because I don't think she appeals to a broad enough fan base, but I think she's freaking talented.

Amanda: Um, no. I wonder how many packs of cigarettes she smokes right before her performances. Danny also pointed out that she looks like Roseanne (her face).

David C: I don't know why--but I love him! I'm usually not into his "type" of music, but I have really loved his last few performances. I find myself wanting to belt at the top of my lungs along with him. He's got edge...but he doesn't seem arrogant to me. I think he'll go far.

Brooke: She is the whole package. A good girl, a good singer, a good musician, (very unique and cool sound to her voice) and I thought last night was her "moment" a lot like when David Archuleta sang "Imagine".

Kristy: LOL. I totally laughed through her entire performance because I don't think anything could have prepared me for how she slaughtered that song. From beginning to end, it was just wrong. So very wrong. Goodbye Kristy.

Michael: I thought Randy said it well. "Kinda Sleepy". I like him, and I like his style, but I found myself kind of bored towards the end. He'll go far though. Please--the accent alone launches him into the top 4.

David A: Oh.....man....I felt so awkward and bad for him. I know he had strep throat (Entertainment Tonight people--I didn't call his agent) and you could tell in his interview he sounded "off". I think he's got to be pretty overwhelmed with all the pressure. People have had their eyes on him since his audition (hi, me) and every week he is supposed to get better and better? I think he'll be fine tonight. We usually vote, but all our phones were dead last night (of course) so we didn't. I can't imagine what the nerves must be like, and for only being 17--that's a big burden to carry. Anyway, la dee da, I'm sure this isn't news to anyone. I think either 2 things will happen after last night. 1) He'll come back next week to wow us or 2) It'll throw him off completely. I'm very hopeful that he'll wow us next week. No matter what--I'll always be a big supporter.

I'd say I agree with all those comments. And my opinion is very important. But seriously on Kristy-- I still can't believe her.

I totally missed the show! Man! I've been so bad at that lately! I'd better watch tonight! I love David A.! So adorably cute! He'll wow us next week...what doesn't kill us makes us stronger!!!

I too loved Brooke's performance, and also felt very bad for David. I wish him the best, but it was a REALLY hard week for him. America may not be so forgiving. I hope that you do a follow up post with who was kicked off because I will be gone tonight and can't watch the show.

I loved reading this!! It is nice to hear someone else's comments in detail, rather than Jeremy who just has his favorite or two.
I would agree with all that you said.

I love your comments. My favorites last night were Brooke and Carly. They are both so talented. Anyway, I have to say that I'd pick Kristy to leave too. Last week's song (if the Journey song was last week) sounded awful to me, so I wanted her gone then. She sang like one phrase last week and I told Travis that she just managed to kill that Journey song. The judges liked that one though, so whatever. Anyway, tonight will be interesting.
As your 5th American Idol supporter, I feel it is my duty to comment. Thanks for your input on the last 12 contestants. I love your analysis of all of them, Rae! They definitely need to hire a 4th judge for the show.

I want Kristy GONE!!! Her performance was ridiculous last night. As for David...he is so great and I want him to go ALL the way. I felt so bad for him last night...you could tell he was disappointed in himself. I usually don't get mad when Simon is rude because he tells the truth but I wanted to defend David last night...poor kid!

As for David H. being voted off...HOORAY!! I agree with you when you say he is gross...that is an understatement!

I LOVE AI this year...it is so exciting...so different from other years! Okay my NOVEL ends here ;)

You are so funny Raelynn! I loved reading your comments on everyone. I don't watch it, but I felt like I did after this!

Okay thanks a lot Rae. I tuned in to your first blog about David Archuleta and was amazed at how good he was...and how he is from our ole' stompin ground...kinda...Murray was always a little too east side for us to hang out with...ANYWAY - THANKS A LOT FOR GETTING ME HOOKED ON AI THIS YEAR!! I totally agree with everything you said. LOVE BROOKE - aka Carly Simon. Love David A. bad night - hey so he never listened to that kind of music growing up, it's kinda hard to sing with soul when you're not familiar with the songs. I think he'll step it up next week. If he doesn't I'll still buy his CD.And can I just say I've had enough of the inside joke bickering between Simon and Ryan - it takes away from the contestants and focuses on inappropriate things - ENOUGH!

Have you ever noticed how Kristy looks like she is riding a horse whenever she sings? It's so annoying. I agree with your choices.

Thank you for letting me know you usually vote...it was like my own secret shout-out in Raelynn's blog. Yeah!
