American Idol 8: Second group of 12 Perform! Share your thoughts!
Jobby:
Okay, before posting my comments here i saw an article which Paula commented that four was a crowd on the idol judging panel.. and i think i would love to disagree (Don't i sound like a judge? :funny:) Because sometimes i think Paula is really irrelevant (another judge comment) and Kara is way better as a judge than her! And i think with 4 judges there's really more perspectives. And sometimes although i hate what Simon says.. he is always RIGHT on the spot with EVERYONE.
Jasmine Murray, "Love Song" by Sara Bareilles
Given the high amount of airtime that she was given, i really think she blew her chance! She would have sailed through to the final 12 with an amazing opening song and such likable personality. Too bad, but i guess she will get another chance anyway with the wildcards.
Matt Giraud, "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay
It sounded nice, but going breathless in a song while singing is a NO-NO thing to do. I think he will get another shot at wildcard too. And at first i thought he might go through with his high airtime and relatively early fanbase.. but i guess it's not enough votes to sail through to the top 12. Wildcard pick #2.
Jeanine Vailes, "This Love" by Maroon 5
Gosh, tell me i'm not the only one who hates her. I think she's bitchy, sluttish, attention whore and extremely irritating to watch. No chance in the top 12, no chance for the wildcard.. BYE!
Nick Mitchell, "And I Am Telling You," Dreamgirls
What an insult to Jennifer Hudson. Seriously, does anyone wants him to be the next American Idol? I can do with a Top 10,000 in America and not include him as well. He was just a joke and he made a fool out of himself, and i guess he enjoyed all this attention. Same here, if Tatiana didn't advance, neither will he. He's a NO for top 12 and neither will he waste another wildcard spot. I'll kill the judges if they give him another chance to sing. STOP TORMENTING US.
Allison Iraheta, "Alone" by Heart
You know, after watching 4 crappy performances.. i had good vibes about her. There is something that is unique about this girl. And her captivating voice and everything, yes.. SHE BLEW ME AWAY! My gosh, although it got a little schreeccccyy for me.. i think it was overall definitely one of the best performances of the night. Heck! She was the best!!
Kris Allen, "Man in the Mirror" by Michael Jackson
Only one time i disagreed with Simon. I absolutely agree with Kara here, i sense no soulful singing from him, it was extremely forgettable at the front part, such that even though the back part was good, it's not enough to score him a spot in the top 12.
Megan Corkrey, "Put Your Records On" by Corinne Bailey Rae
She's GOOD. She picked the exact right song for her voice, she's unique, she's likable and she's got an entire package. I would say she would be the third highest vote receiver and shoo in into the top 12.. not very sure about this though, but i hope she makes it! :D
Matt Breitzke, "If You Could Only See" by Tonic
Didn't like him anyway, and did anyone realise how Michael gets in the top 12 by being humble and appreciating the judges comments.. and he.. just shot off with "I like it anyway".. which is pretty much a turnoff for me. He'll get a wildcard chance anyway, but he won't be my favourite.. and i hope he doesn't make it.
Jesse Langseth, "Bette Davis Eyes," by Kim Carnes
I didn't even know why she had to "sing for survival" to get a spot in the top 36.. she's way better than 2 of the girls last week and she definitely made an impression for today. Perhaps she'll get a spot in the wildcards, perhaps not.. but i would love to give her yet another chance if i'm one of the judges. So she's definitely not going through, but i say bring her back for wildcard show!
Kai Kalama, "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted," by Jimmy Ruffin
He doesn't have the image, his voice does not blow me away. The entire song was boring that i had to fast forward and skip it. It was, unmemorable as Simon put it.
Mishavonna Henson, "Drops of Jupiter" by Train
After 4 judges comments, Kara finally expressed the judges thoughts hit on the spot.. "to loosen up abit".. *rolleyes at Paula* I think she's a good singer, nice song to hear through, didn't wow for me.. definitely a wildcard choice.
Adam Lambert, "Satisfaction" by The Rolling Stones
It's definitely the best male performance, and a great song to close the show. Too shouty for me for some parts but it was a good song choice, with all the high notes hitting the right spot when they should. It's a love it or hate it like what Simon said, but i think America will love it and shoo him into the top 12 too. And i think i want to see him in the top 12 too!
Overall, last week the guys were impressive.. this week the girls rule the guys! I believe our third most votes getter will be a girl and hope it will be a girl! Not as impressive as last week's show.. (what i meant was someone whom you will think, HE'S GONNA WIN FOR SURE) But maybe some may think about that for Adam.. but i think with Danny around he's going to have a hard run.
Here's my overall ranking -
1. Allison Iraheta - Alone
2. Adam Lambert - Satisfaction
3. Megan Corkrey - Put Your Record On
4. Mishavonna Henson - Drops of Jupiter
5. Jesse Langseth - Bette Davis Eyes

9. Matt Brietzke - If You Can Only See
10. Kai Kalama - What Becomes of the Broken-hearted
11. Jeanine Vailes - This Love
12. Nick Mitchell - And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going
Who i think will make it to the top 12 -
1. Allison Iraheta
2. Adam Lambert
3. Megan Corkrey
Who i think America will vote to the top 12 -

However, according to Dialidol.com -
(which has been 97% right for Season 7 predictions)
Adam Lambert has a 9.72 line business, followed by Allison with 6.72.
And you will be surprise who's next with the third most busy line..
Matt Giraud with 3.52, Jesse Langseth with 3.26 and Megan Joy Corkrey with 2.425. So i guess it might not actually be Megan who might advance to the next round who has made an impression. And Matt Giraud's fan base seems to be doing an amazing job in keeping him in the competition. Might be interesting to watch which contestant earns the third spot, my gut feeling says Matt, but i hope it's Megan.
tory:
i agree with u on u r pick's 100 %.. did u check vote for the owrst sight i wonder who they picked to vote for last night..?? they might have picked matt..
this group was way better than the last one , my only complant is that all the girls had that same jazz/blues sound.. it is like they stuck them all in this group except alex who sang last week and got her spot. r all the girls going to compeat on the same music notes..
i did not pick up the phone this week at al my guy from last week did not make it in and we agreed on this message board he was good ricky i vote for him for like and hr. so i hope he gets a wild card spot.
the only thing i care about happening tonight is that 2 girls get in so ricky has a chance for a wild card one more boy needed please lol. next week though felica is sining so i had to reast my finger ..i am voteing for the full 2 hrs for her..
TexasLady:
Wow.. wasn't last night a train wreck for some of the contestants? :groan:
I agree with both of you, I think Adam is going to be the one to beat, he was in his own element last night, no one else came close to his look or performance. (It was a little screechy at times...)
I have to say, Nick Mitchell aka Norman Gentle blew it. Blew it big time. He is a decent singer but AI is not for him and he proved it a thousand times over. (Maybe a million...) He wasn't funny, his act is getting stale. We've seen it before, we know what it will be and it is a parody of AI. It's too bad really, attending this summer it would have been entertaining to see him as part of the top 10 for a comedic break in the show.
I truly did not know who to vote for last night other than Adam Lambert. I have liked Matt Breitzke but it is NEVER a good idea to talk back to the judges. I crossed him off my list when he wouldn't back down. Sadly Matt, I see you going back to your welding job.
We know the top choice... 2nd and 3rd will be interesting. :yess:
One last comment, I wish Kara would get off the commercial singer thing. Yes, we know that's what you are looking for but most people watching don't know what that means and don't care even if they are the target audience.
Off my soapbox. LOL :2cents:

Exactly, even Tatiana knows how to keep her mouth shut. ;D
