Idol Envy: Top 16 pt. 2 - The Boys are Back in Town



The Boys are back! The A game was brought and a few more busted from the pack.

~ Lee Dewyze performed Fireflies
At this stage of the competition, risks need to be taken. Lee took one by singing Owl City's Fireflies as a rock song. It worked, but I still love the original better. Lee had a few pitch issues, but overall he did a good job. He will make Top 12.

~ Alex Lambert performed Trouble
This was Alex's best performance so far. Alex's confidence grows each week, he keeps getting better. This was a simple song that he played beautifully. I do agree with the judges, Alex just needs to relax on stage. Other than that, he's in the Top 12.

~ Tim Urban performed Hallelujah
Many people wrote Tim off after his terrible performance of Apologize, but strangely Tim has gotten better. This song is overplayed on Idol and his rendition wasn't anything spectacular, but he did a great job none the less. He just needs to stop singing preachy songs. Tim may actually make the Top 12.

~ Andrew Garcia performed Genie in a Bottle
Andrew was an early favorite, but his last few performances haven't been up to par. He took a risk with his song choice this week, and it may have paid off for him. Andrew's a contender and has a great voice. He should be in the Top 12, hopefully America agrees.

~ Casey James performed You'll Think of Me
Casey gave us an honest performance, a little safe, but overall great. Casey is one of the top guys in the competition and Top 12 has been in his reach since the beginning.

~ Aaron Kelly performed I'm Already There
Aaron's young and has a very nice voice for a 16 year old. He started off shaky but had a nice finish. He came across nervous, still not quite as comfortable on the stage. I think Aaron may be getting axed this week.

~ Todrick Hall performed Somebody to Love
Todrick has been taking risks with his song choices, again he chose a huge song to take on, but the question is did it pay off? Personally, he did not blow me away. This was his best performance, a bit theatrical, but in the end he did a good job. I felt he was trying to channel Adam Lambert for this performance. Will Todrick make Top 12? Will find out tomorrow night.

~ Michael Lynche performed Women's Work
Michael took a huge, huge risk with this song and it paid off! Michael is the guy to beat. I was quite surprised by this performance, he did a fantastic job. The best of the night!!

All the guys did good tonight, which makes my predictions for those going home a little harder. I believe Todrick Hall and Aaron Kelly will be the two going home, but would not be surprised if Tim Urban or Andrew Garcia got booted instead.

My votes went to Alex Lambert and I gave Tim Urban a few votes (I'm entranced by his dreamy eyes).

~ENVY OUT!
