American Idol 3/5

Originally written on 3/5.

It was the ladies turn to vie for the top 12. Going into tonight I thought the girls were better than the guys, but after this showing…I don't know. It was very hard to gage who will be among the dearly departed since no one did anything special. I think it will come down to past performances. If that is the case, Kady Malloy and Kristy Lee Cook will be leaving us. I was one for four last week in who should go home, so we will see.

Don't Let the Door Hit You...

Kady Malloy – Who Wants to Live Forever by Queen

Randy – "pretty good"
Paula – "your best performance"
Simon – "better than last week"…"I am still having issues with your massive lack of personality"…"you may be in trouble"…"you are like a robot on stage"

I thought she killed the high notes…she has a big voice. She is very stiff on stage, doesn't look comfortable up there.

Kristy Lee Cook – Faithfully by Journey

Randy – "I liked it"
Paula – "could be a hit for you in country music"
Simon – "your problem is that you are forgettable"…"at best I can see you coming in 10th"

She has a cool county vibe about her, but there is just no wow factor. I agree with Simon, very forgettable.

Decent…I Guess

Amanda Overmyer – I Hate Myself for Loving You by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts

Randy – "well done"
Paula – "this is who we fell in love with"
Simon – "fantastic"…"absolutely nailed that song"

She did a decent job tonight. Again, her problem is that she sounds the same on every song. I am over it already, but she does stand out.

Ramiele Malubay – Against All Odds by Phil Collins

Randy – "pretty good vocal"…"just go for it"
Paula – "you deserve to be in the top 12"
Simon – "very old fashion"…"a bit predictable"…"not jumping out of my chair on that"

She has the best vocal range of all the ladies in the competition. I really like her…Asia'h and Syesha are a close second.

Brooke White – Love is a Battlefield by Pat Benatar

Randy – "I really liked it"…"very interesting"
Paula – "very very pure"
Simon – "two weeks running, you have done a great performance"

I like what she did with the song…very intimate performance…she really connected.
