Girl's Night :

The first one that sang tonight ... the one with the big ass .... was the only one that really caught my attention ......

*****

[efunk_adelic]

I just know the next three months are gonna be a lot of fun... it's gonna be so cool to watch these singers grow.


MANDISA - Totally caught my attention. What a way to start of the show! Can't go wrong with a song by HEART.
rating 9.0

KELLIE - You can see her nerves. She's an ok singer, she'll be safe this week.
rating 6.5

BECKY - A great song with a horrible performance. What was she thinking.
rating 3.5

AYLA - Not bad, not bad. Started off a little rough but was basically on pitch after the first 20 seconds.
rating 6.0

PARIS - Picked a great song to sing. Hard to say that she sang at a level with Gladys Knight of course, but still she had a great performance.
rating 7.5

STEVIE - Pretty girl I must say... but I didn't care for the song.
rating 5.0

BRENNA - Played it safe.... where is this Diva she made herself out to be.... I didn't buy the volunerability act she put on prior to singing. Bring the CLAWS next week if you're still around... She gets a 10.0 for entertainment...
rating 6.0

HEATHER - The worst of the bunch. I hate that song with a passion and she ruined it even more.
2.0

MELISSA - She doesn't have the best voice... she sounds very similar to Melissa Ethridge sorta kinda. Started off a little rough but enjoyed the vocals after she got past the first verse.
rating 7.0

LISA - not really my cup of tea... but I have to give her props for picking a song like that and pretty much nailed every word.
rating 7.5

KINNIK - I was disappointed in the reviews she got from Randy & Simon... but her stage presence and performance were good. Great mouth. :D
rating 7.5

KATHARINE - Didn't like her comments on the last show... but I'll get over it. She's a character and has an excellent voice. By the way SINCE I FELL FOR YOU was sung originally by LENNY WELCH :roll:
rating 8.0

Nope - can't do that....by getting the lowdown from you guys my family think I am a genius when I predict who goes out, what Simon et al say, and also 'guess' the song they are going to sing. :lol: :lol: :lol:

What did she say?

[nrgbeat]

I’ll only comment on the one’s I don’t like.

Brenna—A cocky showoff. Her performance wasn’t that great.

Kelli---Didn’t care for the sound of her voice.

Heather—Not a great performance. She will probably go this week.

Stevie—She might have a career in opera, but her voice isn’t really “Idol” material. Think she may go also.

Kinnik—Powerful voice, but didn’t think she had the “wow” factor.

Paris—Kind of on the fence about this girl. Her voice is just okay. 1979 called and wants their hairstyle back.

she kinda rubbed me the wrong way last week when she stood up in the room and complained that (the last girl that got cut) didn't deserve to be let go... saying that "i'm f***ing pissed off" ... blah blah blah... of course they bleeped it out.

In other words, I liked her addition tape.... she's gonna commit professional suicide if she keeps it up. A few people on the on the AI site felt the same way as I did.

That would be really great - I'd really give my wife a 'wobbly' when I say to her during one of the performances "I bet she sings a duff note right now" or I say "Mmm, I reckon Simon thinks he/she sounds like his Auntie doing Karaoke doing a rather naff pub in Basingstoke" - it would really freak them out!! :lol:

[Angelina77]

The first girl who sang and Paris were good. I wasn't WoW'd by anyone...maybe the guys will WoW me tonight!

[efunk_adelic]

ok headlamp,


i'm not sure what happened.... but this particular site I was talking about must have been shutdown maybe due to legal issues? The owner of the site his name is Travis... he has a different link that I don't have time to check out as i'm due out the door right now...

let me know how it goes....

that's an understand for the night.... oh my... do I have comments. :D


PATRICK - just very average if that... His song choice was not the best. If we see him next week he better bring it.
rating 4.0

DAVID - his worst nightmare just came true on national TV... he's a specialized singer... just croon your way for a couple of weeks before it's time to go.
rating 2.0

BUCKY - very interesting voice... He will not win but I like his uniqueness in that he could bring.
rating 6.5

WIL - oh brother... he sings good... terrible song choice. Only wacko can sing.
rating 2.0

SWAY - oh geees.... did he bring back the memories of what it was like to be young again. The Latino/Black community are gonna love him. The whole pimp look did him justice! My second favorite performance of the night.
rating 9.0

CHRIS - I know it's early... but he has the pipes to win the competition.
rating 9.0

KEVIN - I feel sorry for Kevin... however, he isn't going anywhere this week.
rating 4.0

GEDEON - Way to cocky for my taste. I hated the song choice... but when he told us what he was gonna sing... I had the biggest smile on my face, because I know he will not be around long.
rating 2.5

ELLIOTT - Gave me the biggest charge of the night.... singing a song by a stylized singer that rules... He put everyone to shame that ever attempted a Stevie Wonder song.
rating 9.5

ACE - Will wow the entire woman population in the U.S. .... he's Constantine from last year... only he can sing. Great song choice!
rating 9.5

TAYLOR - He has star written all over... has a great voice... but the best is yet to come.
rating 8.5


The guys are stronger this year... and they blew the girls out the water. The top 4 should all be guys.
