Ok, I know how disappointed you all were that I didn't give my 2 cents last week, but I didn't get to see American Idol until like Thursday (I recorded it.) These "Fiddler" rehearsals are wearing me out. Speaking of that, c'mon out tomorrow, Friday, and Saturday for the show in Valley. Hit
http://www.nhct.org/ for tickets if you wanna come. Now, back to business. I didn't update last night b/c I didn't get home until after midnight, but I finally watched it this afternoon. I just got back from a dress rehearsal, and recorded the results show, but haven't watched it yet... so I thought I'd post my 2 cents before I watch it. Here is what I thought:
Mandisa - she was GREAT as always. She is sooo good. I think she's gonna go all the way to at least the top 2 (and I think she should win the whole thing.)
Bucky - very OK. I'm just not all that impressed with him.
Paris - GREAT. She's awesome too, but has some really good competition. There are some good ones this year.
Chris - GREAT! He did an fabulous job reinventing that 50s tune to his style. I know that's kind of what the judges all said, but I was thinking that before I heard they're 2 cents.
Katherine - GOOD. I almost said she did GREAT, but I have to put those other 3 slightly above her. I have to cap it off somewhere.
Taylor - OK. I dunno, everyone else just loves him, but he doesn't really do it for me. He's definitely good, and original, but just a little too quirky for me.
Lisa - I thought she did GOOD.
Kevin - I put him as GOOD too. He did a great job on the song, but not in the same category as Mandisa you have to agree!
Elliott - he did GOOD tonight too. I enjoyed his performance, but I don't think he's going to make it to the top 8.
Kelly - she did GOOD too, but I think the fact that she's similar to Carrie Underwood will hurt her. She executed the song well though.
Ace - he's really been disappointed me. He started out so well in the auditions, but now, he doesn't seem to be pulling his weight. I appreciate all the falsetto stuff, but it's unstable up there for him... in my opinion. I thought he just did OK tonight.
