Worlds of Girls!

So, the girls had represented tonite on American Idol, and I do mean represented!! I know who the bottome ONE girl should be, but don't know who the other place is gonna go to. The judges were on some kind of acid tonite, but were generally in a good mood, excluding Simon who always seems to have just bit into a lemon. Let's go to the good part.....


Grade: A+

Syesha Mercado: The girl can do no wrong for me at this point. When I found out she was doing Whitney Houston's "Saving All My Love", I was both frightened and exhilirated cause that's a tough one. But ya girl blew it out of the water. She sounded clear, smooth and very convincing. Her personality is awesome, her voice is dynamite and she looks fantastic. This girl is a force. And guess what....The judges all just said "yeah" and moved along. WTF?!! Hateration, indeed.


Grade: A

Asa'h Epperson: She started the show with Whitney's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" and it was an excellent choice for her. She sounds great, looks confident and struts her stuff. Paula is all up and dancing, and it's a really good performance. She has considerably proven herself to me tonite. Simon calls her a "second rate Whitney", but agrees that she sounded good.

Carly Smithson: Her roll continues, cause once again she sounds really powerful singing "Drove all Nite". She exhibits really good vocal control, and can really hold a note. Vocally she is on point! All the judges say yes, except Simon who thinks she chose the wrong song. Egads, somebody buy him a hearing aid.

Brooke White: She took on Pat Benatar's " Love is a Battlefield" acoustically, and I must say I was completely impressed. I was a little worried at first, but she sounded fabulous; really pure, really great with her vocal control. This is my favorite performance by her so far. Very nice. All the judges agreed it was a great performance.


Grade: B+

Amanda Overmyer: Well, the first thing I gotta say is she didn't really look like she was giving it her all. I think knowing that she was the girl's vote on "votefortheworst.com" has really bothered her. But she sounded good, raw rock edge, relatively comfortable. She was solid but not extraordinary. Simon says she's fantastic and ultimately the best of the nite. But something is up with her cause she doesn't wanna smile and she won't look directly at the judges. She's worried, I think...poor girl.

Kristy Lee Cook: She sounded really convincing singing "Faithfully" by Journey. She looked beautiful and her country style really made her take on the song unique. Her voice is nicely controlled, and you could really feel her performance. She got almost to the end and warbled a couple of notes, but overall very good. Simon, of course, says she was "forgettable". But she looks like she had a good time anyway. I like her!

Ramiele Mulabay: OK, so again Ramiele is good, but again she just doesn't blow me away. I WILL say that she's consistent. So, that's something. Maybe it's her performance quality that I don't get. I don't feel anything when she's singing. It's just blah for me. Nice voice, though...don't get me wrong. The judges think she was relatively good and that she deserves to be in the top 12. Simon says "old fashioned and not all that great". Ok, so we agree on that. I can be wrong sometimes, too....


Grade: C

Kady Malloy: Here we have the Luke Menard of the girls. Consistently bad. As soon as she started, I thought "uh oh". It was a slow song, so that's bad news up front. Her voice was shaky at first but she slowly leveled it out. Wasn't awful, but she kept going sharp and flat and off. She's got a long way to go to be able to compete in this group of girls. She should definitely be on her way out!! Let's hope so. We'll see tomorrow nite!!

I hope the next time I write I'm not crying my eyes out over the elimination of David Hernandez....My nerves are bad cause I really want him to be able to go far. Pray for me....... :-)
