American Idol Top 11 Review
Okay so I'm a lying bitch, sorry
toristargirl I lied and said I would post my Top 11 review the other day, I totally forgot.
Here it is if you still want to read it.
Amanda - Again I didn't like it but I'm going to get real here, I'm never going to like anything she does unless she ever does something different. She made her point and she's showing people who she is and what they'd get if they came to her concert, but that's not going to help her go too far if she's not willing to show off some different sides.
Kristy - Her personality is kind of growing on me so I sort of feel bad that she's getting so trashed by the judges. I didn't think she was that bad this week and I actually kind of liked it. I didn't think it was anything special or stellar and I don't think she should be in the finals but it wasn't horrifying like last week, AND I think she's trying really hard.
David A - I had a huge problem with Simon tonight personally. You'd swear Simon goes to the dress rehearsal to see if Archuleta remembers the words and if he does Simon calls it a day, calls him amazing and trashes as many of the others as he can. Archuleta is just a young boy who can sing well and that's all. The performance wasn't memorable or amazing. I'm disappointed that in a season with such great talent this is our front runner.
Michael - Odd song choice to do on Idol but he has a reason behind it and that was nice. I didn't like the way it was chopped up though. I hated that middle section he did but I liked his voice on the beginning and end sections and I was glad they chose to show off one of those in the recap. I give the guy props for being a performer too, some of these contestants seem lost on the big stage.
Brooke - I really love the song she chose, it's one of my favourite Beatles tunes and I think it fits her personality and who she is. That said it wasn't her best performance and I much prefer her doing more of the type of cool, different instrument arrangements she had been doing. The awkwardness though for me didn't take away from the performance. Awkwardness to me is endearing and likable. Again I like to see people trying, she tried something.
David C - I just love this guy, he's just wonderful. I've never really been a fan of the rockers on Idol but David to me is the real deal and I love what he does. I didn't get Simon's comments to him really.
Carly - She sang another one of my favourite Beatles songs and I thought she did it very well. I thought she made a wise choice if doing something a little bit softer and not doing a huge song with lots of belting like she had been doing. She still showed off her vocal skill but it was different and it was very subtle and nice. Simon tonight had to be in "redeem Archuleta mode" where he praised the least amount of people as possible and trashed as many as he could for random reasons.
Jason - I loved it. I'm not a fan of his and I really want to hit him every time he speaks in his videos but I really liked what he did. I enjoyed listening to him.
Chikeze - Strange song choice. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it. The harmonica was just stupid imo.
Syesha - I'm actually quite glad she didn't listen to the judges when they told her to start yelling again and only yell. I thought it was a good song choice and I like hearing a softer side of Syesha. I don't think she's amazing and if I had my way she wouldn't have been in the finals but she's there now and I want to see more performances in this vein in than in the "look how great I am, see how loud I can yell" vein.
Ramiele - This might be a shocker but I quite enjoyed it. I liked her voice on the song and damn if she wasn't adorable tonight.
