American Idol Live Blog

Amanda Overmyer (23 – Indiana)

“Back in the USSR” as a southern rock song? Back in the USSR was a political statement. Her performance is wretched. She is screatching and wailing. She sounds hideous. Dying cats sound superior. Her wardrobe has improved. However, her singing remains flawed. Pathetic opening performance. Simon is correct. Her tickets are not available. They will never be. America, eliminate her.

Kristy Leigh Cook (24 – Oregon)

How did she survive? Her background and commencement are elegant. Her emotion is palpable. She is both commanding and vulnerable. As she traverses the stage, she exudes confidence. Honestly, I cannot believe last week occurred. Tonight, she was beautiful, melodic, and powerful. She warrants advancement.

David Archuleta (17 – California)

His jacket is hideous. His background is apocryphal. Fortunately, his singing is powerful. When he excels, he is heartthrob material. He is boyish and charming. Yet, he is powerful beyond years. Tonight, he was spectacular. Simon is correct. Masterful.

Michael Johns (29 – Georgia)

His commencement is satisfactory. Unfortunately, his background is awkward. His emotion is contrived. Despite his “Beatles admiration,” he is cardboard and monotone. He is a caricature. His performance continues deteriorating. His dancing is awkward. His facial expressions are random. He should excel. Yet, he is terrible. Simon is correct. The endeavor is complicated and was a mess. He dedicates this song? If the song has meaning, sing with emotion.

Brooke White (24 – Arizona)

The solo guitar is an excellent choice. Her commencement is exemplary. The outfit is hideous. Seriously, who shot the drapes? The spin and whoop are bizarre. Child, this is not your living room. Her emotion is slightly forced. However, her singing is acceptable. She deserves advancement. Simon is partially correct. Her emotion was messy. However, she was not terrible.

David Cook (25 – Missouri)

Seriously… Enough with the rock. The guitar is unnecessary. The screaming and sound effects are miserable. The background is acceptable. However, his emotion is forced. His appearance is creepy. His vibe is ridiculous. Simon is correct. He overestimates himself. The voice box is stupid.

Carly Smithson (24 – California)

Her ambiance is outstanding. Sadly, her performance and wardrobe are terrible. Her emotion is forced. She is vacant. Her blouse adds five pounds. Henceforth, she should never dress sleeveless. Her tattoo is scary. Her endeavor was bland and thoughtless. Simon is correct. Her choice was indulgent. She is indulging self-pity. No one respects that.

Jason Castro (20 - Texas)

Raggedy Andy phoned. He requested his hair. His commencement is awkward. His wardrobe is worse. Is he performing for a daycare audience? His emotion is silly and transparent. He is clownish. I expect the Barney Children may appear. America, eliminate him. Simon is correct. Goofy is the operative word.

Syesha Mercado (21 - Florida)

Finally! Someone attempts “Yesterday.” Contrasting last week, her appearance is spectacular. Her hair is flawless. Her dress is gorgeous. The solo guitar is also entrancing. This song is haunting. Sadly, her performance is scary. Her emotion is fake. She is screeching the notes. She is strangling the song’s beauty. Randy, are you serious? She was hideous.

Chikezie (22 – Arizona)

His background and wardrobe are exemplary. His commencement is elegant. You can feel his passion. His transition is hideous. A harmonica? Seriously? Someone remind him… He-Haw was canceled. I cannot stand songs which transition slow into fast. His entrance was subtle. His exit was silly. He is a ridiculous performer. He is a gimmick.

Ramiele Malubay (20 – Florida)

American Idol as a family? If a family competed. Her ensemble is flawless. She should lose the hat. However, she is bouncy, charming, and delightful. Her emotion is believable. Finally, she has captured herself. An adorable, precocious post-teenager. Her lyrics are prophetic. I love her.
