American Idol Guys' Night (8)

On Tuesday night it was the last chance for the guys to prove themselves worthy of the top 12. Unfortunately, Simon said that it was a disappointing week for the guys, and I have to agree. They have never been that great, and they just are topping the girls. That is why I always look forward to Wednesday and never Tuesdays. The girls are TOO good!!!

In Order of Performance

(1) Blake Lewis - He was pretty good this week. He did more bebopping and scatting. Randy said that he was keeping up with the current artists, and Simon said that he stood out as an individual because of his unique style. Good performance.

(2) Sanjaya Malakar - I have never liked this guy and have believed that he should have been gone from the beginning. This week didn't prove any different for me. Simon said that it was better than last week, but he didn't have a very good vocal. He also said that THIS IS A SINGING COMPETITION and that he's only stayed because he's popular. Simon said it was probably because of his hair.

(3) Sundance Head - He is a pretty cool guy, but I thought that last week was better. Paula said that he did really, really well, but Simon said that he didn't like it because he had lost his charm. He said that it sounded like a generic bar song. Better luck next time, Sundance.

(4) Chris Richardson - Chris did really good this week. He was one of the better ones. Randy said that he was in it to win it and was glad to see that he put his own twists into the song. Chris switches it up! Paula said that he has adapted well in the competition and that he chose a great song. Simon said that it was not his best, was cutsie, timid, and safe, but he sold it.

(5) Jared Cotter - I have never liked this guy, and I can't exactly figure out why. I guess I just don't like his voice, and none of his performances have ever really wowed me. Randy said he had a solid, good performance. Paula said that he should work on coloring it up a bit. And Simon said that it was not original and would get lost in the mix. No wow factor, again.

(6) Brandon Rogers - When I heard his first audition, I instantly liked this guy, and he has stayed one of my favorites since the start of AI. Randy said that it was a good, solid performance. Paula said that he had proven why he belonged on that stage. Simon said that the song may give him a problem. He said his performance was okay but not great, and it wasn't a memorable song.

(7) Phil Stacey - This guy is pretty cool. Randy said that he needs to work on the lower register. He can definitely hit the high notes, but the low notes are getting hit right on. Paula said that it was not his best performance. Simon said that he has big eyes (okay?) and that he chose a strange song - wasn't good enough.

(8) Chris Sligh - For the night, I thought that Sligh was the best of the guys. Randy agreed with me by saying that he was the best vocal of the night. Paula said that it was not his best and that he needs to keep rising above. Simon also said that it wasn't one of his strongest, but that he has a lot of potential.

Well...that was the night for the guys. Maybe Wednesday night will prove to be better. What am I saying? Of course it will! We've got Melinda Doolittle, Jordin Sparks, LaKisha Jones, Sabrina Sloan, Stephanie Edwards, and Gina Glocksen!!! They are sure to be great! Them six should make it to the top 12! If they don't, boy will I be disappointed!
