American Idol Girls' Night (12)
Well...last night was girls' night on AI, and, boy, was it a great night! So much better than the boys' night! WOW! There were 7 singers that stood out for me this time around! And after hearing their amazing voices, I am making a prediction about this year. THE AMERICAN IDOL THIS YEAR WILL BE A WOMAN!!! And if I'm wrong, I'll be mighty surprised! None of the guys could outsing over half of these girls, so they might as well pack up and go home! The guys sure have a lot to accomplish if they want to get any farther in this competition.
Moving on...to open up the night was Stephanie Edwards who did not disappoint! Simon gave her a great review, saying that she was one of the best.
After her, performing third, was Leslie Hunt. Although she was not one of the best, she was better than at least five of the girls that night, and she stuck out to me. She sang "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman," and it was a little too big of a song for her. But I think she still did great!
Performing fourth was Sabrina Sloan who received another of the best reviews from Simon. She was great, and I see her staying around for a long time to come!
Performing sixth was seventeen year old Jordin Sparks. She was terrific and also received great reviews! Can't wait to see what more she can sing!
Coming onto the stage at the ninth slot was Melinda Doolittle who used to be a background singer, but according to Simon's rave review, she is a background singer NO MORE! Simon said that she was a woman with amazing talent and little arrogance, completely opposite from most. She will definitely be staying around a long time as well.
Performing eleventh was Gina Glocksen, the cool girl with the red streak in her hair. I liked her from the beginning and after her rendition of "All By Myself," she's still a favorite of mine! Randy and Paula gave great reviews, but Simon...well...he's Simon.
And last but CERTAINLY not least, was the amazing winner of American Idol Season 6 LaKisha Jones! She sang "You're Gonna Love Me" from the movie Dreamgirls performed by Jennifer Hudson! Randy Jackson said, "Jennifer Hudson, watch out!" And Simon's remark was, "I'm very tempted to say to 23 people, 'book your plane tickets home right now!'" Simon said it. LaKisha is our next American Idol! She's got my vote all the way! I loved her first audition and I love all the rest! She ROCKS!!! Can't wait to see her reach the top!
As amazing as last night was, there is still one more person that shined during last year's season. She sang "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and blew America out of the water! Here is Katharine McPhee singing this great song...so much better than Taylor Hicks!
