American Idol : The Top Eleven

tonights theme is british invasion tunes, and to help the contestants along we have lulu and peter noone, old school british songsters.

up first is haley with 'tell him' and shes got quite a little outfit on. about all shes got going for her is her kat mcphee like body and dark hair. man she is just not a good singer at all. randy calls it her best performance to date, paula loved it and called her adorable and simon says 'you naughty litle thing' before calling the song pitchy.


chris richardson does 'dont let the sun catch you crying' with an acoustic guitar player on stage with him. he sounds great and the judges think it was his best ever, and sexy. he'll be around for awhile for sure.

stephanie edwards sings a dusty springfield song, 'you dont have to say you love me'. starts out pretty boring, and continues that way.

time of the season is blakes selection, along with some unnessecary slow dancing and of course a brief beatboxing intelude. its like he fucking NEEDS to do it. all the judges loved what he did with the song. well done seattle.

lakisha jones says 'my history with british music is absolutely nuthin' but i bet she knows more than she thinks she does. she picks 'diamonds are forever' and walks on stage wearing a cool million in bling. damn she sounds like a cool million too. fantastic.

phil stacey picks 'tobacco road' because its fun to sing. he starts singing and doesnt stop moving, almost franticly, around the stage. its a pretty rockin number but phil simply doesnt rock.

jordin is asked to name a song that describes her and she excitedly says without hesitation 'im so excited by the pointer sisters!'. adorable. 'i who have nothing' is the name of her song, and although its kind of a downer, she sang the hell out of it and sounded outstanding. absolutely outstanding. she. kicks. ass. judges concur.

sanjaya says 'i dont think im the best singer in the competition' and has a hard time deciding between 'you really got me' or 'something tells me im into something good'. he goes with the former, by the kinks. im guessing he chose that one because he can somewhat hide his terrible vocals by bouncing around and making a dreadful attempt at rocking out. is it really now just a big ongoing joke, that he's still in the competition? how long is sanjaya gonna hang in there? randy unbeleivably thinks it was sanjayas best performance yet.

gina glocksen goes for 'paint it black' from the rolling stones. she wants to be the female daughtry but she aint got the chops. its only a matter of time for her. randy likes the 'edge vibe' from the 'resident rocker from this season', and simon puts it perfectly when he says it was 'style over content'. a matter of time.

chris sligh gets some advice on being sexy from peter noone and sings 'shes not there', from the zombies. he starts his performance in the audience and someone has an awesome sign out there:

i think this was one of my favorite performances tonight. chris rocks.


doolittle is last and does 'as long as he needs me' a nice and easy song that finds melinda casually sitting on the stage as she begins. she very well may have the best voice of anyone whos ever been on this show but i dont think america will take anyone that humble all the way. we are, after all, at war. simon wonders if she is really as nice as she seems, and calls it an 'impeccable vocal'

my guess is either haley sanjaya or phil wont make the top ten.
