I am so excited for tonight's R&B night on Idol. I can't wait to see what songs the Top 10 perform with coaching from Usher. Now you would think this would be a relatively easy night with so many great R&B songs to choose from but I'm cautiously optimistic.
Everybody seems to be getting more and more confident each week so people please be careful of your song choices and know who you are as an artist. If everyone remains true to themselves we should all survive this unscathed and happy.
Usher looks great and he's the only person that gets a pass and can wear the sunglasses at night without being called
Siobhan is first and sings Chaka Khan's "Through the fire" sounds good in rehearsal so let's see what happens live. I love this song and she sounds pretty good- she's pretty pitchy in some spots but manages to put her signature scream in there. Good effort. Randy says it's pitchy and loved her courageousness. Ellen agrees with Randy. Kara said she's entitled to an off night. Simon said she sounded out of breath and she looks all over the place and he's getting bored of the screaming at the end.
Siobhan looks a little pissed at the judges judging of her. Maybe she's upset because she was so enamored when meeting Usher that she wanted to make a good impression? Who knows but pull it together honey. There is always next week and I'm sure you'll be back.
Casey sings "Hold on I'm coming" which has never been performed on the Idol stage. He sounds good, he looks good and like he really belongs on the Idol stage- he really surprised me tonight. Randy said it was a hot night for him and good song choice. Ellen said it was a little generic. Kara thinks he can show more range. Simon thought it was his strongest week so far- and I agree with Simon and really to me his opinion is the only one the counts. So there! Good for you Casey.
Mike sings "Ready for Love" by India Arie. I'm worried and not a fan but everybody seems to love him so we'll see. He sounds good. Randy loved it and said he is loving every performance. Ellen thought it was beautiful. Kara liked it. Simon said it is was terrific.
Didi sings "What becomes of the broken hearted". All have to say is whhhyyyyy? That's an awful song choice and the perfomance is horrible just like I thought it would be. She's sucked the soul out of the song and made it sound like a Lite FM tune. Randy said the performance wasn't great. Ellen doesn't like it either. Kara said it was overdone- but Kara is so annoying she almost makes me not want to watch the show- ugghhhh. Simon said it was like swimming in jelly, it was so old-fashioned and that she sounded like one of the singers that sings with the "Dancing with the Stars" and. I agree.
Bye-bye Didi.
Oh God- Tim is going to try to sing Anita Bakers "Sweet Love"?!? Really?? I can't even imagine what would possess him to take on an Anita Baker tune. I can't stand this guy and his big head/hair. He should've been sent home a long time ago. This is one of my favorite songs and he is going to butcher it- ugghhhhh whhhyyyyy! HORRIBLE! It sounds like a cheesy lounge act and he has done a Didi and sucked every ounce of soul out of that song. My ears hurt. Randy said it felt really pedestrian and it had no swag. Ellen said it was a bad song choice and why? Kara said it was very Vegas and Broadway and she took the soul out of the song- I should be a damn judge. Simon said it was an inappropriate song but that unfortunately he'll be here next week.
Tim I think I hate you- lol.
Andrew sings Chris Brown's "Forever". Please don't screw this up Andrew- please! Good song choice. Randy loved it. Ellen thought the performance was great. Kara thought it was one giant leap in the right direction. Simon said he was boring and that he needs to show some personality. Good job Andrew.
Katey sings "Chain of fools" by Aretha Franklin. Why this old song Katey? I think this little girl is just an old soul because it actually worked for her- kinda. Randy thought it was one of the best vocal performances of the night. Ellen liked the vocals and wished she would've sang a more current song. Kara thought the vocals were good. Simon thought it was pretty good but robotic. He felt like it was very "Star Search".
Lee sings "Treat her like a lady". He's sounds good like he always does. I like him but there's nothing special about the performance. Randy thought it was unbelievable. Ellen thought it was the best performance of tonight. Kara thought it was amazing. Simon said this was the night that his life may have changed forever. Good for you Lee. I'm a fan.
Crystal sings Glady's Knights "Midnight train to Georgia". Go Crystal! The girl can SANG!!! Randy loved it. Ellen loved it. Kara loved it. Simon loved it and said she shouldn't change a thing. She kinda talks back too much but I'm a fan.
Aaron closes the show with "Ain't no sunshine when she's gone". It starts off kind of shaky and he seems nervous. It was okay. Randy thought it was okay. Ellen thought he did a good job. Kara liked it. Simon said it was okay.
So there you have it Idol fans. Who's going to be on the bottom this week?
Will Tim finally GO HOME?!?
Can't wait till the results show!
