AI - Top 10
Here's my review and thoughts of tonight's performances on American Idol:
Ramielle - very very painfully flat, especially the beginning. I really want her to do well, but she hasn't been doing well the past few weeks. The song was too big for her and she was brave to do that song considering Carly did that same song a few weeks ago. She'll probably be in the bottom 2.
Jason - I can't stand it that he hides behind his guitar. I agree with the judges that the song was too safe and it was a bit boring for me. I'm hoping he goes soon, but most likely he won't.
Syesha - she's back!!! I love her vocals and it was amazing.
Chikezie - very boring. He kind of reminds me a little bit of Ruben Studdard (I wasn't a fan of his). There's just something about him that bothers me - I think he is trying a bit too hard. He'll probably be in the bottom 2 also.
Brooke - I agree that I didn't like the band arrangement of that Police song. It would have been better if she stayed on the piano alone. She's not one of my favorites, but she'll probably stay. She does seem like a very nice, sweet person I would like to get to know.
Michael Johns - he's finally back!! After he did that Bohemian Rhapsody, he hasn't been doing too well. But it was an amazing performance. I thought it was funny that he was the only one in the competition that was born in the 70's...wow, do I feel old.
Carly - I don't know why the judges are so hard on her with song choice, but I thought she did well tonight. I almost feel like they're treating her like they did with Katherine McPhee and just being extra harsh with higher standards. She has an amazing voice.
David Archuleta - not one of my favorite performance of his, but I still think he's great. He has such a beautiful voice and it comes out when he does ballads....I really want him to do well with up beat songs as well.
Kristy Lee - ugh, how did this girl survive so far? I was really hoping she would have been gone weeks ago. I'm hoping she's in the bottom 3 based on her past performances. I usually agree with Simon, but I have to disagree with his assessment that it was the most clever song choice he's heard in years....um, I don't think so! Sorry Simon, it wasn't thaat good!
David Cook - I know everybody loves this guy, but I can't stand his attitude. His smugness and "I'm better than everybody" attitude really bothers me. There's a difference between confidence and arrogance, and the arrogance just comes blaring out. I just think he's copying Chris Daughtry and the fact that he did an exact copy of another band's song a few week's ago without their permission (and taking credit for the arrangement) just adds to the annoyance. I really am trying hard to like him, but I just can't get past his attitude.
My absolute favorite performance tonight is Michael Johns. It's hard to say who'll go. Based on tonight's performance, it should be Ramielle, but she's never been in the bottom before. I say it could be Chikezie or Ramielle, although I would like to see Kristy Lee go based on past performances.

Great overview! I forgot to watch tonight. this season is the first i've really tried to follow. I agree with you.. I always thought Michael Johns had that star rock and roll good looks quality, he just never seemed to let go and sing all out... but David A.. he as THE GIFT... THE VOICE... oh my...
hope #2 is treating you well... God bless! :)

hehe, you will be my 4th judge on the panel. :) yeah, kristy girl has to go soon. i dunno, there's something earthy and crunchy that i like about jason castro(?) i like his tone. i didn't know about the arrangement deal with david cook. hmmm... but c and i were both blown away with last night's performance though. i actually thought that maybe he's better than daughty. dunno. i guess i haven't been following well enough to realize his smugness. i guess that's why i didn't like mcphee.
anyways, you must keep these reviews comin. they are as entertaining and good as simon's, and i LOVE simon. :)
i have yet to watch last night's episode, but i agree with you on most of your reviews on people. can't stand kristy and her country-wannabe-ness. i actually can't stand whenever paula opens her mouth, either. she has nothing interesting to say... ever!
I miss watching AI. :( I totally agree with your take on what little episodes I've watched. Brooke does seem so nice ... so sweet.. I'm starting to really like her. Kristy has to go! I cringe every time I hear her sing.
