American Idol singing - week 3
This week’s theme:
The 90's
Well, I gotta start by saying what's with everyone calling us during Idol? There is nothing else we watch on Tuesdays. Arghh
So, this week, I choose to synopsize the performances for you.
My overall favorite (performance, talent, voice, looks, etc.) is contestant #10 - Vonzelle. She's been boring throughout - until last week when she was a bit over the top. This week, she was just right. The judges said she was a bit sharp. Perhaps she was, but who noticed it. She sang 'I have nothing' by Whitney Houston. Whitney's ambitious. Simon said that three weeks ago, if he heard she was going to do Whitney he would have cringed, but he was impressed. "Great job," he said. She was the one to watch this week for me.
Second was Kerry (you know, I have no idea... is it Kerri? Carrie?) She is just a beautiful girl. And she has some pipes. I liked her song choice, too. She sang a country song... something about Independance Day. I don't know what it is. (I'm sure Chenita will cheat tomorrow and go to idolonfox.com and copy them all on here for you, anyway - I prefer to shoot from the hip and just type what I think). Her voice was great, she's a classic beauty, she's adorable to look at and seems to really enjoy being up there.
Third, I'm torn between Scott (Porky) or Niko. They raved over Niko, and he has improved each week. I didn't know the song he sang, but he did a good job. I could see him in an all black boys band. The lead singer, of course, because he can. They said Porky was a bit pitchy but I loved him. I still root for him and want to see him continue.
My bottom three?
The Russian Kid. Without a doubt. If he doesn't go, it will be a travesty to the other singers. Nothing more needs to be said.
Who next? Hmmmm, I'm thinking its Anwar. He's been boring lately. He's got a great voice and a very sweet demeanor, but overall, I'm losing interest in him. I still love him and I'm rooting for him like crazy. C'mon, Anwar... blow us away next week!
...and the Sausage. Not from her singing, because I honestly didn't hear her. The phone rang and I got stuck yappin' through the song. And to be honest, her voice isn't horrible. I just don't like looking at her. She straightened her hair and that was a bit better. She actually sounded good in the recap. But she is still Low #3 in my book.
The two rockers didn't blow me away. Bo did a Counting Crows song. I didn't know it and it was weird watching him run all over the stages with the mic stand. Plus he came on with a gigantic cowboy hat that covered his face so you couldn't see it the first bit of the song. And the hat caused his hair to be really greasy once he took it off and gave it to Paula. gross.
Constantine was good. Actually, I may tie him for the top 3 now that I think about it. But... what's with that thing he does wrinkling up his nose? Its like he's trying to seduce the camera. It just comes off smarmy to me. Gross with a capital G. yuck. Oh, and his hair was all greasy, too. Ewwwww
and that leaves Nadia. I love Bonnie Raitt. Love her songs, love her voice. Actually liked Nadia's rendition too. So I guess if I had a top FIVE, she'd be up there. She's a beauty, too. I love Nadia.
The most annoying person of tonight's show was Paula. Enough. Have an opinion. Everyone can't be great.
I missed enough of the show render my informed opinion a little less informed. So, this week, I'm bowwing out to Chenita. Who is an excellent reviewer (albeit a bit angry at times - lol). She's so anal that she actually checks the site to get the names all correct and in order.
But I stand by my choices. Now on to Wed.'s show...
Fantasia is coming on. I have no interest in her. Wonder what she'll do. Then again, I don't care.

Well - lets see. Like Linda - I'm dissappointed in Anwar. He's gotta pick it up or he should just go.
Anthony is still my least favorite.
I think Bo sang a Black Crowes song not Counting Crows - but I could be wrong. I like Bo - what can I say - I'd like him to win. But I wasn't too happy about his performance this week either.
I really wasn't that thrilled with any of them. So I don't even feel like putting forth the effort to comment on the rest.
I think overall the performances were all mediocre for the exception of 3. They are in my order 1) Carrie Underwood 2) Vonzell 3) Nikko Smith. I think these 3 will be at the end (well, hopefully). I think Anwar was the weakest singer last night. I agreed 100% what Randy and Simon said. I can't remember verbatim, something about saving himself at the end with the last note and the rest of the performance was under key. I've been saying this all along but they are finally starting to realize that Anwar is out of his league. Jessica (aka sausage) was ok, great voice but nothing spectacular. Bo as usual sucked.....I think the idol judges are trying to push for a different type of idol this year and that is the reason they are pushing Bo and Constantine to the end. I don't think either one of them will win. Nadia has a descent voice, but not going to win. She is too across the board and annoying (I don’t know why, but she is). Anthony & Scott had very good vocal performances, but Simon doesn’t want to see them get any further. With that, I will now announce the bottom 3 for tonight: Anwar, Anthony and Scott (this bottom 3 is based on the judge’s comments and how America will vote accordingly. In my opinion, the idols who should be in the bottom 3 are Anwar, Bo & Constantine
You crack me up. I agree completely. That's why this was so half-assed. (Can I say that?) I just figured I was lackluster because I didn't give them my full attention.
ha ha
I meant that I agreed with Meredith, I hadn't read Juanita's yet.
Yes, last night's idol show was a big letdown. And like Mere, it isn't worth writing about. I do however think Simon & Randy are spot on with the critiques this year. Paula however, is obviously on CRACK! Even this morning's radio station thought so too! I believe this competition is Carrie's to win - HANDS DOWN! And as far as bottom 3? As long as it's not Carrie Underwood then I don't really care.
But Chenita, Fla's counting on a blow-by-blow recap! You're letting her down, m'dear.
