American Idol Top 12

Tonight is the launch of my first ever American Idol review! Every week, I will be posting recaps of the songs that the contestants sang and give my own personal review. Tonight's recap is going to be rather short because I am battling a nasty cold and I am not feeling 100 percent. So here in a nutshell; my favorite performances from tonight:

Melinda Doolittle: This woman can sing. She has to be my favorite performer thus far during season 6 and to be frank, this is her competition to win. As long as she keeps doing what she does, she'll have no trouble reaching the finals.

Lakisha Jones: Such a strong voice and she can really belt it out. She's got a real powerful instrument and just as the judges commented, she held back a bit in the song which really worked to her advantage.

Jordin Sparks: This girl has a totally infectious personality and it is evident in her singing. She has a strong stage presence for someone only 17 years old. Having her sing the final song proved to be a great way to end the show tonight.

And now, my least favorite performances from tonight:

Sanjaya Malakar: I really don't understand what's keeping him in this competition. His singing is horrible; in fact, there are many times when you can hardly hear him. His stage presence is clearly lacking and he may be just a bit too young for this competition (hey, some people do well at young ages, others not, like Sanjaya). And honestly, what is with his hair??

Brandon Rogers: He has been a total disappointment for a few weeks now. Supposedly he's been a background singer before but thus far has not done well enough to take the stage as a solo act. He is in serious danger of being eliminated.

Stephanie Edwards: She just did not 'wow' me like in previous weeks. I thought her song choice could've been better and forgetting the lyrics to the song seems to be an unforgettable instance, especially at this stage of the competition. I would not be surprised if she gets the boot, judging how things have gone for 'AI' the previous couple weeks.

Well, that wraps it up for this week's American Idol recap. Next time around, it should be more extensive with recaps for each of the contestants. I am going to head to bed early and try to recoup in time for work in the morning.

Howard Stern has been encouraging people to vote for the worst on idol..ie - Sanjaya Malakar. Hopefully the majority of the population will see how stupid this really is.
