Last week, Danny Gokey, Alexis Grace and Michael Sarver won the most votes to advance into the Top 12, leaving Anoop and Tatiana behind. Hopefully Anoop can still find his way into the finals with some luck in the Wild Card round. This week we see the second group of twelve perform and Jasmine Murray is first up.
"Love Song" is her choice and although she has an ok voice there is absolutely no way she is going forward.
Matt Giraud is next and he takes up a Chris Martin impression for "Viva la Vida", complete with the Coldplay hop. Judges and fans alike are disappointed that he did not go the soul route and It's unlikely that he will not be dueling at a piano again by this time next week.
Jeanne Vailes decides on Maroon 5's "This Love". As the Governator would say, "Big mistake." What a dumb song and she did a horrible job singing it, but the judges agree she has great legs.
Nick Mitchell is up with his take on "I'm Telling You" and although the crowd loves him and I must admit it was somewhat entertaining, the judges must be kicking themselves for allowing this joker to use their stage to launch his William Hung-esque career. He should have took the whole thing seriously and maybe he would have had a shot, as he's got a decent voice when he wants to.
Allison Iraheta chooses Heart's "Alone" after a brutally boring interview with Seacrest, and instantly redeems herself. Wow. Best voals from a female yet in the Top 36. She better go on.
Kris Allen-who is this guy? He sings Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror" and it seems like an odd choice at first, but it had some really great moments and this dude can perform. The ladies will like him and it's a crime we have not seen him for one second all season.
Megan Joy Corkery does Corinne Bailey Rae "Put Your Records On". Her tattoos apparently make her modern and relevant to the judges, but she can't compete with the show that Allison just put on. She's got that crackly voice thing going on, but I don't like it one bit.
Matt Breitzke, the big fella, chooses "If You Could Only See", a song straight off late 90's light rock radio. Boo. Matt has a pretty good voice but shows a lack of style and will not make it through.
Jesse Langseth is the second young woman from Minneapolis to sing in the To p36 and her chances of making it are little better than Bubble Tea maker Casey Carlson. That's a shame, because Jessie is Johnny Lang's little sis and I bet she can really sing the blues. Tonight though, she does not appear to have done herself any favors with "Betty Davis Eyes".
Kai Kalama, I like this guy. I do not like his decision to throw it back to 1966 with "What becomes of the Brokenhearted". Such a forgettable performance that he will unfortunately find out what becomes of the brokenhearted. Better luck next time, with something from our generation.
Mishavonna Henson continues the bad pop song theme of Matt and Jeanne with Train's "Drops of Jupiter" aka the "deep fried chicken" song. Man what a bad song. Adios Mishavonna.
Adam Lambert takes on "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and while it at first seems like way too theatrical and overdone, he manages to put his own little spin on it and ends of doing a good job with it. If he does not make it through he can expect to do well on Broadway.
So tonight's winners were, hands down, Allsion Iraheta with the power vocals, Chris Allen the talented unknown and either Adam Lambert or Nick Mitchell. Hopefully Adam.
