American idol Night of the Missed Last Note

American Idol March 16, 2011

Performances:

Night of the missed last note: Naima, James, Stefano

Naima Adedapo- Singing was okay, movement on stage was great. I wish they'd give beautiful Naima a makeover because she'd be guarenteed extra votes. I predict she'll be in Bottom Three, not my bottom three, but America's.

Thia Megia- pretty voice, pretty girl, but a little on the dull side. Like J Lo says, "I don't want to think about your vibrato." I feel like she has some Nora Roberts in her.

Paul McDonald- he nailed his Elton John song, even with a cold.

James Durbin performed Bon Jovi, but promised that he's saving Aerosmith for the finale. I can't wait.

Haley Reinhart - Wrong song choice, only 25% of it showed off her voice, the rest was cutesy stuff that didn't serve her or work for me. Randy says, "you're not sure at all" who you are. I predict as a Bottom three contender.



Milli Vanilli

Stefano Langone - judges loved. I didn't like the first note or last note, but I loved everything in between. He'll probably gain a million bonus votes for running off the stage to hug his mama, otherwise I would have put him in the bottom three (between him and Jacob). I'm laughing that he gave a shout out to Milli Vanilli for having a great song in 1989. Does he not know about the scandal and how they where the beautiful front faces of the real singers?

Pia Toscano - Performance was good. I would have loved something else. Did you really have to wear a romper for your performance?

Scotty McCreery- once again he nailed his country song. Nailed it. He will have a recording deal with or without the win. It'll be interesting to see how many country fans support American Idol, because they will certainly give him their vote. Like Randy says,  he can step out

Karen Rodriguez - beautiful job.

Casey Abrams - I get that you love this Nirvana song. So do I. You had fun, but it was like a joke performance. The repetitive nature of the lyrics did not translate well in the two-minutes performance. This was more James Durbin's style. Even Steven Tyler's comments were full of forced enthusiasm. I love your music. I love your performances. I love your personality. Please shave.

Lauren Alaina - poor girl has the flu. You can see it in her eyes. But I liked her way better this week vs. last week. I agree with the judges, "very nice" "very good job" "have a cold every week."

Jacob Lusk - sang Heart's Alone. Not good. Judges loved so I hope that keeps you there. I'm so sorry, but I predict he shares possibility of the bottom three with Stefano.

One thing about the the judges not being real this year, America is truly on their own for decision making.
