The stones are on tap for tonight!
| 1. Michael Lynche
|
+1/2 |
“Miss You” – I thought it was pretty good, but not fantastic. His vocal was good, so maybe I just didn’t like the arrangement. Either way, I didn’t love it. |
| 02. Didi Benami
|
 |
“Play With Fire” – Wow – I thought it was amazing! I heart Didi and I think she is just growing and getting better. Wow, awesome! |
| 03. Casey James
|
+1/2 |
“All Over Now” – It was good, but not great. I dunno – I wasn’t as excited as the judges were. I still think he can be a little better, but I don’t think he has a shot in hell of winning this competition. He is, however, winning the height competition with Ryan. |
| 04. Lacey Brown
|
 |
“Ruby Tuesday” – Eh, I don’t like the arrangement at all, and I wasn’t really impressed with her vocal at all. She can really only do one kind of thing with her voice, and her whole vibe is going to get real old real fast. |
| 05. Andrew Garcia
|
 |
“Gimmie Shelter” – He liked caressing the mic stand, which in the world of idol, translates to I’m gonna be a rocker.” I have to give him props for trying. There was a weird last note, but other than that, I thought it was a good effort. And like Simon said, he had to get out of the pattern he was in, and this was a step in the right direction, anyway. |
| 06. Katie Stevens
|
 |
“Wild Horses” Katie gets the sit-down interview again – TCO strikes again! I have to admit she actually sounded pretty good. The arrangement was a little weird in that it never seemed to go anywhere, but as far as vocals go, it was pretty good. |
| 07.Tim Urban
|
 |
“Under My Thumb” – I dunno – I found myself dozing off during the performance, and it seemed lazy. His voice is just so weak and not up to snuff with what the vocals should be at this level. |
| 08. Siobhan Magnus
|
+1/2 |
“Paint It Black” – And all of a sudden Siobhan is the Adam Lambert of this season! The screamy, the boots, the dramatic lighting. I still don’t love her voice, and i think she sings through her nose, or maybe she is permanently congested, I’m not sure. She can do some amazing things, but I’m still not 100% on board. |
| 09. Lee Dewyze
|
|
“Beast of Burden” – Hell yeah, Lee! That was amazing. His voice is incredible, and he is growing and getting better. I am super impressed. |
| 10. Paige Miles
|
|
“Honky Tonk” – I love this song, and I LURVED this arrangement, but I just wish her voice was better! Maybe it is because she was sick, but I really think that even at 100%, she would still not quite cut it. |
| 11. Aaron Kelly
|
|
“Angie” – It was actually not bad. I wish his voice was stronger, but he can do some awesome things with the riffs. I think he has good instincts, and I hope he keeps getting better. |
| 12. Crystal Bowersox
|
+1/2 |
“You Can’t Always Get What You Want” – Every week, she is extremely consistent and dependable. I loved the arrangement, and I loved her voice. And maybe not her absolute best, but its damn close, and worthy of the pimp spot tonight. |
So I know the judges are all on the Siobhan wagon, but I loved Didi tonight! And Lee. LEE! I love both of them.
That said, Tim needs to go home. Like, yesterday. And I think that Paige has gotten enough free passes, although she did get the sympathy laryngitis nod from the judges. With 12 singers and big Mike being in the dead-man’s spot, he might be in trouble as well.
So what did everyone think?
