Amiee's American Idol Recap

A friend inspired me to blog about A.I. every week because I am so obsessed with it. Seriously. All I can think about while watching it is "what would they say to me?," "how could I improve?," etc etc. Like I said, I'm obsessed. That being said, as much as people love to hate Simon, I usually agree with him 98% of the time. Here's my take of Wednesday night's show:

1. JASMINE - Something about her just rubs me the wrong way. Didn't like "love song" for her, either. She sounds like she'd be much better on a nice soulful song.
2. MATT - Piano dueling guy. He could possibly be good, but this Cold Play song was whack. Very pitchy. He tried to jazz it up way too much w/ runs, etc.
3. JEANINE - Oh my goodness I hated it. Seems like she is probably an awesome singer so why the heck did she sing that Maroon 5 song? It was all wrong for her. I was happy when it was over. And could those shorts have been any shorter?
4. NICK or should I say NORMAN? - Ok he is funny & entertaining, but I don't think it's fair that they even put him through this far in a serious singing competition. I would be so mad if I were in his group and had to compete for votes against him just bc he was funny!
5. ALLISON - Ok love "Alone" by Heart, and I thought she did really well. Reminds me of Kelly Clarkson. However, when she was chatting with Ryan she was being SOOO WEIRD. What was that about? I'm hoping she was just super nervous bc that was just strange. Once she sang, though, she was pretty good. And she's young--so that's always a plus in the industry.
6. KRIS - Man in the Mirror is such a random choice to sing but whatever. I thought it was good but I wasn't blown away by any means.
7. MEGAN - This girl is so pretty (except I don't like the huge tatoo) and definitely different. Thought her body movements were a bit quirky--but I guess that could work in her favor. Cool tone to her voice.
8. MATT B. - Seems like a nice guy. Good vocals but boring performance for me. He sang "If you Could Only See."
9. JESSE - Very comfortable on stage. Cool tone to her voice, also. I liked her personality. She seems real and cool.
10. KAI - Nice guy but way cheesy song and performance! Song was just too old--blah.
11. MISHA - Ok I thought this chick has tonnnns of potential. She has a really good voice! Even though that song was a bit boring, I'd like her to get through bc I think she will improve a lot.
12. ADAM - I'm on the fence with this guy. Is he an amazing singer? YES. But since he is already successful with theater in California, I'm kind of pulling for some of the other singers to get through instead of him that could use a chance at some success. I thought some of his song was WAY cheesy (dramatic/theater style) but other parts were freakin' awesome.

So who would I choose at the 3 to get through??? Tough decision. (First of all can I say that I don't think it's fair how they do the highest voted boy, highest voted girl, then next highest vote? I think it should just be the top 3 people with the highest votes REGARDLESS of gender. Regardless! Why does gender matter???) It seems so unfair to have to judge these kids based on one performance (especially those who have had like zero camera time earlier in the season).

Well I guess I'd say Allison, Misha and Jesse or Megan. Dang I know that's four! AND there's not a boy in there. Ok well if I had to pick just one boy, I'd pick Matt the piano guy. I think he'd be much better if given the chance. He just picked a bad song tonight.
