American Idol - Ladies Night

The girls needed to bring it tonight, but they didn’t end up outshining the guys. There were some decent performances, but mostly they were just okay. As with the guys, the scores I attached are my impression immediately after hearing their individual songs. My notes about the songs and scores were written prior to hearing any judge’s feedback. Graded on a scale from 1 to 10 with 1 being the lowest.

Carly - 9 - Great start to the night. Vocals were crystal and she showed great control. As an after note, Randy must have misheard. She was on point with the notes.

Syesha - 8 - Got lazy halfway through the song. She laid the vibrato on a bit thick but I enjoyed the song for the most part.

Brooke - 7 - Good song for her but not the best so far. Not worthy of an 8, 9 or 10.

Ramiele - 8 - Big voice. Didn’t pull me into the performance though. She was on cruise control and I don’t think she was into the song that much.

Kristy - 7 - A little phlegmy but not too bad mostly. Go Oregon! (pst… hey Ryan, my eyes are up *here*!)

Amanda - ?? - What in the heck was that?! Hurt to watch and listen to. It was like watching one of the background singers in an off-Broadway version of The Lion King getting her drunk on for 5 hours then singing at a karaoke bar after a Sunday matinée performance.

Alaina - 6 - Singing fell flat at times. She went for it though, so I have to give her kudos for belting it out.

Alexandrea - 6 - First few bars where rough. It got better in the middle but then she lost it at the end again for me. Not the best song choice for her.

Kady - 6 - Not a good song choice. Fell flat quite a bit and her lower register was a problem for her.

Asia’h - 7 - Sketchy at times. She had some unsure moments vocally and I think it ended up affecting her whole song.

I think many of the girls are in the danger zone this week. If we were basing this off just one week, I’d have to say Amanda would be going home, but she’s been pretty solid over the weeks so I won’t give up on her just yet. If we go off past performances + this week, I’d have to say that Alaina and Kady are probably leaving.

So, for the eliminations:

• Luke
• Danny - Just because he annoys me and his one good vocal just can’t make up for that. Haha!
• Alaina
• Kady
