What to say about last nights performances? Once again, the only word that comes to mind is crap. Total crap. Carly Smithson did great with her heart song but almost everyone else completely sucked. Kristy Lee Cook was actually much better this week, she did pretty good by Linda Ronstadt's "You're No Good." She looked so much better also, without the tons of eye makeup and false lashes. Brooke White charmed the judges with "You're So Vain," which was a great song choice for her, and she is a really likeable contestant, but I didn't feel like she sang it as well as the judges thought she did.
In the What Was She Thinking Category, Amanda Overmyer sang Kansas, and not well. I was actually proud of Paula for doing something that was pretty uncomfortable but necessary, telling Overmyer to tone down the hair and makeup. Seriously, it's just too much with the eyeliner, the bride of frankenstein hair, and the chaps. She looks 15 years older than she is. It may not matter in this competition though, because she will probably go home tonight. It's too bad, because she is an interesting aspect to this season, but she just can't let go of that "I'm a rocker" thing long enough to make a sensible song choice. How great would she have done at some Eagles? Hotel CA or New Kid in Town. Or, even some Aretha Franklin, you know, mix it up a bit. Oh well.
Kady Malloy will also get her walking papers tonight. She also sang Heart, but was never once on key. It was so very very bad. And she is just not an engaging or likable contestant. I seriously hope this is the end for her.
Syesha Mercado also made a terrible song choice. She sang Me and Mrs. Jones, but changed the pronoun and sang it about Mr. Jones. So irritating. It really rubbed the judges wrong, and I'm sure many voters felt the same way I did. It wasn't cute. I like her, but come on.
Alaina Whittaker actually sang "Hopelessly Devoted to You." Like, she's probably seen Grease 100 times and it's like her favorite song and she was like so excited to sing it. Well, she like, sucked. She can sing, no doubt, but why why why would you sing a song from Grease? Find a great song from the 70's and sing it. How hard can that be? It just shows how young she is.
And here's a tip for Asia'h Epperson and all the female contestants: DO NOT SING WHITNEY, CELINE OR MARIAH. Just don't. Don't these contestants ever learn? You cannot sing as good as they do and no matter what you will suffer in comparison. Epperson closed the show with "All By Myself" which has been done by both Celine Dion and Mariah Carey. The song was way too much for her and she and her ridiculous hair extensions got spanked by the judges.
As for Alexandrea and Ramiele: Eh. That's it. Eh. Not good, not bad.
Next week should be good for some laughs since it's gotta be 80's week. Can't wait.
