I'm still a little upset over last week's eliminations, miss ya Alex! Okay, the Top 12 hits the stage this week by singing the songs of the Rolling Stones. Let's see how they did.
Michael Lynche performed Miss You
Michael has a very nice falsetto, he has stage presence, and energy. He made the song soulful, vocally Michael sounded like James Brown; this is not a bad thing. Overall, this was a great way to start this round of competition.
Didi Benami performed Play with Fire
This was the perfect song for Didi's voice, it worked very well. This was her best performance since entering the Top 24; but I did feel like she was trying a little too hard with this performance.
Casey James performed It's All Over Now
Was I the only person bored with Casey's performance?? He's so much better than this. Vocally it was good and he sounded nice but it was a little safe.
Lacey Brown performed Ruby Tuesday
Lacey chose another slow song, I wished she would have chosen to start slow and then pick up the beat. Vocally, this was one of Lacey's best performances and her voice is growing on me. On the performance side, it was safe, but still good.
Andrew Garcia performed Gimme Shelter
Oh Andrew, what are we gonna do with you? Andrew has a powerful voice and had a few key moments with his performance. But something was off, and i can't really put a finger on what it was.
Katie Stevens performed Wild Horses
This was a great song for Katie's vocal range. I think she did a stellar job. It started off a little weak but had a great finish. I think Katie's biggest issue is the judge's inconsistencies with her critiques.
Tim Urban performed Under My Thumb
Tim has shown a lot of improvement these last few weeks. He chose a reggae version of Under My Thumb, which the judges didn't quite love. I thought it worked for him.
Siobhan Magnus performed Paint It Black
A-Maz-Ing!!! This girl blows me again every week. I loved the down tempo, melancholy, dramatic fill she brings to the competition. Her range is amazing and is very Lambert-esque. Best performance of the night, totally going to Itunes and downloading this performance.
Lee Dewyze performed Beast of Burden
Vocally Lee's voice is nothing we haven't heard before, but it's great nonetheless. I wasn't wowed by his performance, it felt safe. I think he still needs to break out of his shell, felt like he was holding back.
Paige Miles performed Honky Tonk Woman
Paige has yet to wow me. This song did fit Paige's voice better, but it sounded off. It sounded off due to Paige having laryngitis. Overall, Paige did a better job this week, but I feel her time on Idol is reaching its end.
Aaron Kelly performed Angie
This was a much better performance than last week. Aaron has a really great voice and did a fantastic job with this performance.
Crystal Bowersox performed You Can't Always Get What You Want
Crystal made this song her own. Another great performance. Crystal is one of the best girls in the competition; win or loss she'll come out on top.
Best Performance on the night goes to Siobhan Magnus!
**********************************************************************************
Predictions going into tonight's eliminations are: Paige Miles and Tim Urban, I'm having a hard time picking a third.
First Idol to enter the bottom three: Paige Miles, followed by Tim Urban and finally Lacey Brown.
And the first to be granted safety... Tim Urban, who always looks shocked when ever he is told he's safe (very cute).
Personally, I think Paige will be the one going home tonight.
So, which Idol had to sing for there life... Lacey Brown (sad face).
Lacey was given another shot at remaining in the competition by singing for the judge's one last time hopping they would use the Judge's Save one her. How the Judge's Save works is as follows; the eliminated Idol will perform one more time for the judges and if all four judges agree the contestant will remain in the competition. The Judge's Save can only be used once, so they will be very picky on who gets it. Last year, the contestant had to sing the song from the previous nights performance, this year it can be any song already performed. Lacey chose to sing her Top 16 song, The Story. It was an alright performance, but wasn't strong enough. Of course, the judges chose to not use the save this week.
