The guys were alright, but the girls were DOPE. Top performances for each side...Guys: Lee Dewyze and Alex Lambert...Girls: Crystal Bowersox, Lilly Scott and Siobhan Magnus.
Biggest Surprise = Tim Urban...he showed up this week. Biggest Disappointments (meaning that I had wanted or expected them to be good) = John Park (he's fairly monotone and dull) and Andrew Garcia. The 4 who might get chopped by way of America's axe are noted in RED below. The 4 who should get chopped, based on performances, are noted in PURPLE.
TOP 12 GUYS
Michael Lynche That was good, but he can do better. I hate it when he tries to do these cutesy things with his voice and his movements - it just doesn't sound/look/feel right.
John Park Get rid of this guy. I wonder if he has the entire Big Ten voting for him though.
Casey James Setting up this little mystery box as a ploy to get votes? Brother please. You're going through to the Top 5 simply because the women [and a subset of men] of America need their eye candy. The hilarious part is that he got a little smart at the end of his turn..I think Kara's negative comments popped his balloon and knocked him off his high horse. So he turned into a defensive chick and gave Simon lip.
[after the cut scene, the left side of the screen features a nugget from Andrew and Big Mike..check it out if you missed it]
Alex Lambert That was tight! His voice is mad good...we just need more star power from him.
Todrick Hall And he picked another woman's song. His pre-performance cut scene was annoying because he performed in plays, but yet he robbed little kids of their audition funds.
Jermaine Sellers Meh.
Andrew Garcia At times, it sounded like he was talking. Also, since his voice is so raspy, it sounded like he was whispering at the tail end of some of his lines. For now, he's lost...in a dream. But I'm confident he'll find his way.
Aaron Kelly My Girl? Dude, you're 16. Did Simon just tell Aaron to be more like Justin Bieber? what the f.
[side note: why does Ellen have the most style on Idol?]
Tim Urban That was much better performance than last week. I actually kind of enjoyed that..thank you SImon for agreeing.
Lee DeWyze Again, this guy is legit.
TOP 12 GIRLS
Crystal Bowersox Nice.
Haeley Vaughn She's doing Miley? Come on, Party in the USA..come on, Party in the USA....The Climb? Damn, too bad. And she butchered it.
Lacey Brown Stylin'. The words in that song were not easy to string together...props. The performance wasn't spectacular though. I'm going to be sad to see her go, but this group is so talented, it'll be easy to move onto the next one.
Katie Stevens 3 little birds sat on my window. No one can do this better than Megan Corkrey, but that was pretty good!
Didi Benami Not up to par. Let's hope she doesn't get Ashley Rodriguez-ed and see the end of what was once a very bright Idol road. If she does, it will again be time to pick a new favorite. Also, in her absence of words, you could tell she was holding back tears when Ryan checked in with her at the end...why is she so emotional?
Michell Delamore Something about her eyes or her mouth is a little weird. I like it though. Style-wise, the gloves were weird but the rest of her get up was hot. That was also a nice rendition of Arms Wide Open...changed it, but not too much (for 'too much,' see Todrick Hall's Since U Been Gone).
Lilly Scott Damn...that was good. Also, peacock earrings? Check.
Katelyn Epperly She looked good this week. See, her hair was even more controlled this week than the week before, which was more controlled than the week before that. She has a very attractive face and when the hair isn't all poofy and distracting, we can actually see it. First person this season on a piano. She tried to go a little GaGa in this performance, but I thought it was decent.
Paige Miles I'm not feeling any connection to her.
Siobhan Magnus She's growing on me. I actually digged her style tonight. There were so many interesting combos with her get up: dress over the shirt...socks with the heels. Whatever, i still dig it. Performance-wise: She was on FIRE tonight. Possibly a new favorite for me.
