American Idol Top 10, Guys and Girls

Top 10 Guys Night
Still a lot of shivery, shakey vocals from the guys, so only a few really impressed me.

Standouts MICHAEL LYNCH , JAMES CASEY (woooah hot guitar work right there! – but i still like Elliott Yamins take on I Dont Wanna Be),

Meh: Aaron Kelly, Lee Deewyze
Backwards Step: Andrew Garcia, Jermaine, Todrick,
I really like: Jason Mraz soundalike : Alex Lambert

Goodbye John Parks, Tim Urban!

***What’s sad is John keeps getting bad reviews week after week, despite okay performances. He just keeps getting ripped because they cannot connect to him. Maybe his facial expression, being typically Asian, is too controlled for these American judges. I know the AI audience voted him off, not the judges; however, they are always influenced by the panel’s critiques. Did they not think about the fact that he’s Asian/Korean and that his “feeling the song” style of singing may not be the same as how Americans sing??

Top 10 girls Night
Standouts: Crystal Bowersox (who recovered from her hospital scare), Lilly Scott , Siobhan Magnus

Meh: Haeley Vaughn, Katie Stevens,
I really like: Lacey Brown, Didi Banami, Katelyn Epperly (despite making Coldplay even more boring)

***I thought Lily went slightly slightly flat althroughout her performance but i still very much love her, possibly more than Crystal. But Simon gave a similar critique and said Lilly was probably not as good as Crystal tonight. Maybe Lilly will bounce back next week.

We’ll see !
