American Idol Live Blog

Ramiele Malubay (20 – Florida)

Her background is haunting. Red is an exemplary choice. Her ensemble is hideous. The ring is ghastly. The shorts or skirt are bizarre. Her performance is terrible. Her vocals are forced. Her emotion is contrived. Contestants must learn… screaming is not emotion. She is wailing. I adore her. However, she was horrific. She is sick? Alright, I apologize. Simon defends her. Judges catfight? This is an interesting night.

Jason Castro (20 - Texas)

The guitar is overplayed. The hippie vibe is annoying. His commencement and transition are acceptable. With that stated, the performance is bland. He does not oversing. His emotion is believable. However, I am bored. He will advance. He will not sell. Simon’s criticism is accurate. Blasé and self-indulgent.

Syesha Mercado (21 - Florida)

She must lose the fro. Her hair is gorgeous straight. Thankfully, her performance is exquisite. She is soulful. She is melodic. Her emotion is heartfelt. She transcends the song. Her vocals are heart stopping. Simply stated, this evening’s finest.

Chikezie (22 – Arizona)

His commencement is elegant. His vocals are powerful. He screeches slightly. Yet, he is not oversinging. He is controlled and refined. He channels Marvin Gaye. He exudes attraction and passion. Within his performance, one can imagine a romantic evening. Outstanding performance.

Brooke White (24 – Arizona)

Her commencement is flawed. Acapela? Seriously? As the piano begins, her performance improves. However, she is vacant. Her emotion is contrived. Her transition is apocryphal. I hate songs which transition slow into fast. She dominated “Let It Be.” She doomed “Every Breath You Take.” She was terrible.

Michael Johns (29 – Georgia)

Intriguing selection. His entrance is outstanding. His performance is spectacular. Easily, he could oversing. However, he does not. He is energetic and spectacular. His transition is flawless. He does not lose rhythm. His background is bizarre. What is this? The performance of blinding light? His conclusion is scattered. He slows slightly. His vocals are awkward. With that stated, he was stellar.

Carly Smithson (24 – California)

Excellent choice. “Total Eclipse” is a favorite. The background singer is perfect. Sans call and response, this song is inauthentic. Her transition is perfect. She is slightly oversinging. However, she is believable. Her emotion is vibrant. Her conclusion is exact. She is powerful. She is intoxicating. Immaculate performance.

David Archuleta (17 – California)

The music channels “Right Now.” The background is random. Purple lighting? His performance is satisfactory. His emotion is contrived. His voice is diminished. With that stated, he should advance. His largest problem? He was not stellar. We were expecting stellar.

Kristy Leigh Cook (24 – Oregon)

She should not be seated. “God Bless” is a powerful epic. Post September 11, the song defined our nation. Her transition is awkward. She is insipid. She is vacant. She is sans emotion. She is not singing. She is treading water. Simon, a stellar performance? You are drunk. Lee Greenwood was brilliant. She was not.

David Cook (25 – Missouri)

Enough with the rock! Not every selection is a rock song. You are not Scott Weiland. His performance is pathetic. The arrangement is repugnant. The slower tempo ruins “Billy Jean.” He is creepy and frightening. America, eliminate him. I am begging you!
