American Idol: Lulu and Some British Guy
My summary, in snap judgments:
Blake: Good, with moves, but not nearly as good as in Paula’s mind.
Phil: Going home; still odd-looking but with a remarkably good upper register.
Jordin: Whoa. Diva. Love her.
Lakisha: Underwhelming tonight. And boy, did she look uncomfortable in those diamonds.
Chris Richardson: Whoa, pretty. And hey, he sang on pitch (mostly).
Chris Sligh: Hate. Him.
Melinda: Her vibrato is overpowering and distracting. I don’t even remember the words of the song. Girl can sang though.
Haley: Surprisingly good. And those LEGS. She works out.
The others were apparently forgettable, since I had to look them up:
Sanjaya: Wait, is he still here? Seriously? And Simon, the little girl cried for everyone.
Gina: Verging on a train wreck the entire song — I was actually uncomfortable listening. But she looked the part.
Stephanie: I kind of think she’s a bitch, but I didn’t see her performance. Tivo crapped out.
And, for those looking for the song listings:
Haley: “Tell Him”
Chris Richardson: “Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Crying”
Stephanie: “You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me”
Blake: “Time of the Season”
Lakisha: “Diamonds Are Forever”
Phil: “Tobacco Road”
Jordin: “I (Who Have Nothing)”
Sanjaya: “You Really Got Me”
Gina: “Paint it Black”
Chris Sligh: “She’s Not There”
Melinda: “As Long as He Needs Me”
