tiggerprr’s scratching post

Ok, I think there’s some real contenders among the girls, and some really sucky girls…I mean…really, REALLY sucky. This review is late, because I’ve been busy. :/

Here’s my thoughts on their performances, followed by my thoughts about the results this week…

1) Gina Glocksen - “Alone” by Heart - Firstly, I hated her dress. She looked like a red sausage. I think she’s got some talent, but she really needs not to oversing so much IMO. I don’t foresee her winning the big prize.

2) Alaina Alexander - “Not Ready to Make Nice” by The Dixie Chicks - OMG if you’re going to sing the Dixie Chicks…well… be a better singer than that. Go home! (She did!)

3) Lakisha Jones - “Midnight Train To Georgia” by Gladys Knight and the Pips - She’s wonderful to listen to!!

4) Melinda Doolittle - “My Funny Valentine” By virtually all the crooners and Constantine “Creepy Eyes” Maroulis - She was excellent, I don’t even like this song and I loved her version.

5) Antonella Barba - “Because You Loved Me” by Celine Dion - Girl, please. I am convinced that people don’t actually watch this show before they audition for it. Celine, Whitney, Mariah or Christina…unless you have those kind of pipes…leave their songs alone! GO HOME! (She didn’t. Boo, hiss.)

6) Jordin Sparks - “Reflection” by Christina Aguilera - I thought it was a little shaky, definitely not the best she could do, but I think she was choked up. I like this girl a lot, amazing talent for her age, as the judges said.

7) Stephanie Edwards - “Dangerously In Love” by Beyonce - I loved it, I really thought she sounded very good. Despite sounding like Beyonce, which I don’t think was a negative unlike Simon.

8. Leslie Hunt - Feelin’ Good that same song that AJ sang (WHY!?) - I didn’t like this song. I would have loved for her to stick around. I bet she could really sing “Kiss me Deadly” by Lita Ford really well. The world will never know. ::waves::

9. Haley Scarnato - “Queen of the Night” by Whitney Houston - Ashlyn commented that when she hears this song she always thinks of that silver outfit that Whitney wore in “The Bodyguard” when she sings this song. Thank goodness Haley opted for more subdued clothing, LOL. I thought that Haley’s performance was very manic. She’s got a good voice, but at this moment, she’s trying too hard. She should just sing. Also, is it just me? Or do any of you think she’d be really awesome singing as one of the princesses at Disneyworld? I can totally see her as Belle or in a red wig, being Ariel. Just sayin’. hehe

10. Sabrina Sloane - “All the Man that I Need” by Whitney Houston - I thought she was good. Definitely one of the best in the competition. Again, I’d be really happy if people would stay away from the Whitney, et al. They seem to set themselves up for comparisons, and a really good singer could lose their luster when being compared to the bigger voices out there.

Girl Results:
Should have gone home (girls): Antonella Barba and Alaina Alexander
Did go home: Leslie Hunt and Alaina Alexander

Boy Results:
tiggerprr’s predictions were:
Should go home: Sanjaya Malakar and Sundance Head
Will Go Home: Sanjaya Malakar and either Nick Pedro or Jared Cotter
Did Go Home: AJ Tabaldo and Nick Pedro

People, quit pandering to the website which shall not be named….vote for talent…not to screw with the system, not because someone has a hot hiney or whatever… Antonella is way out of her league and while Leslie wouldn’t have won it, she shouldn’t have been out at this stage of the game. Sundance sand the same 2 words (if you could that he said “Ride” twice…) WTH!?!?! And Sanjaya? What-the-heck-ever!

I am not happy with this season much…I’m debating even watching…but I probably will…I am not moved to vote.

Oh…and…is it just me…or… did Kelly Pickler look like a total mess or what? I hated her hair, her dress was made at the same sausage factory that they got Gina Glocksen’s sausage casing from and my God, that woman has clearly bought herself a new rack. She looked like she was channeling Tammy Wynette circa 1970. Bleh. And I’m sure that Ryan was talking about her boobs when he kept asking her if the shoes were all she’s bought. What do you think?
