jlh | Tuesday night music club, sort of

Everyone who is reading this and watching American Idol should be reading the recaps on Television Without Pity because they are amazing. More musings on that in a future entry. In the meantime, the girls, who apparently thought they were doing an event for a soft rock radio station. Bo-ring.

Blah blah judges blah blah blah. Ryan on his knees is a nice look though. Paula really needs to get off those muscle depressants. Having her switch chairs made the rhythm interesting, with her going first.

Everything that Simon said about Katherine McPhee was spot on. I hope she survives picking the really wrong song, because I think only her hard core fans are likely to be voting for her.
Kennik sounded quite good and was all rabble rousing, etc, but I mean, I can sing "I'm Here for the Party." So.
Lisa was … fine, but overwhelmed by the arrangement I thought. Randy was right; it might have been nice to get some a cappella from her on "Who's Loving You."
Melissa was actually pretty good. Thank goodness she picked a Reba song instead of some Faith thing, but Simon was right in that she's not connecting.
Okay Heather, do me a favor and don't hold a flat note like you're some kind of Diva. As usual the editing of the song was weird, but really, she shouldn't have done "Hero" because she's not Mariah.
And Brenna is no Donna Summer. Once again, the editing of "Last Dance" makes no fucking sense, but Brenna had no energy and didn't sound particularly good. And she has to stop fucking posing.
As they said, Paris sounded old. I really hate "Wind Beneath My Wings" anyway, and she ruled the song, but who really cares?
When Ayla said she was going to sing a Celine song I was like, alas! But it was quite good, as was Ryan standing on his tip toes.
Hmm, Kellie I think might have picked the wrong key because she really wasn't reaching those low notes at the start of "Something to Talk About." But she worked it out and she sounded good.
Mandisa continues to rule me.

Polls when we get to the finals, but do tell: who's out?
