This week is the annual Idol Gives Back Charity Show, which makes tonight's theme Inspirational Songs with their mentor Alicia Keys.
Did the Idols Inspire??
Casey James ~ Don't Stop
Actually, Casey please stop!! Tonight Casey brought nothing new to the stage, he sounded good and his guitar playing was excellent and that was about it. At this stage of the game these contestants need to bring it and have each performance be better than the last. These last two weeks have been blah and the boy is in jeopardy of being in the bottom three this week.
Lee Dewyze ~ The Boxer
I was a little worried for Lee this week, America broke up the Bromance last week and he took it pretty hard (hee hee for double entendres). Anyway, Lee sounded amazing tonight, one of his best performances on the Idol stage. Lee stepped up his game and each week is getting stronger. I'll be honest, Lee is slowing becoming the boy to beat.
Tim Urban ~ Better Days
Tim certainly has had some better days, the little engine that could may be facing elimination this week. I did enjoy his performance, I feel Tim has finally found a niche in his vocal styling, but like Casey this week this performance was nothing new. I have seen an improvement in his voice since he re-entered the Top 24 all those weeks back and that smile gets my black heart all melty, but all things come to an end and this week will be Tim's last.
Aaron Kelly ~ I Believe I Can Fly
This is a huge song for Aaron and he needs to knock it out of the ballpark to be safe this week, sadly it was a little too big for him. He struggled with the song in the beginning but had quite an amazing finish, but overall it wasn't his best performance.
Siobhan Magnus ~ When You Believe
This wasn't my favorite performance and I love this girl. It was a huge song to start off with and she didn't quite capture that, I will say she sounded beautifully and looked stunning per usual. Simon said it was odd and all over the place, I'll be honest those are the qualities I find that make Siobhan so great in my book, hence why I love her.
Michael Lynche ~ Hero
Oh Michael, the judges saved you and you are not delivering the goods. This was an alright performance, it wasn't terrible but it wasn't great either. Michael does really well on those love song/high falsetto numbers; when you goes for the soft rock it doesn't always come across to the audience. I think he'll be safe but next week he needs to step up his game, like 200%.
Crystal Bowersox ~ People Get Ready
Can they just give this girl the title already, because really who else deserves it?? Crytsal stripped down tonight with just a mice and her voice (her most powerful weapon) and delivered the best performance of the night; blowing everyone out of the water and across the state. Now this is the way to end a show!
******************************************************************************
I will be completely honest, I cheated and peaked at all the blogs on the East Coast because I really didn't want to sit through the Idol Gives Back show, I know I'm a terrible person. Good thing I didn't since the show ran an extra 25 minutes long!!!
I did turn in at the end to hear the results.
Anyway here's the good stuff, after last nights less than inspirational night of music I know Crystal and Lee will be moving onto the Top 6, but the remaining 5 are all in jeopardy. Side note: During the first Idol Gives Back show no contest was eliminated that night; the votes carried over to the next week were two contestants were let go. That stopped the second year and we were informed tonight that we will be saying bye bye to someone. So, who will it be...
First up is Casey vs. Crystal. This is a no-brainer, Crystal delivered the best performance last night and of course she was gonna be safe.
Next up is Lee vs. Aaron. Another no-brainer, Lee's performance was twenty times better than Aaron's I am not surprised Aaron joined Casey in the Bottom 3.
The remaining three: Siobhan, Michael, and Tim are brought center stage and Siobhan is the first to be told she'll be making the Top 6 (my votes did matter). Even though I enjoyed Tim's performance better than Mike's I knew Tim was gonna be in the Bottom 3 this week.
So the Bottom 3 ended up being Casey, Aaron, and Tim. Ryan informs Aaron his safe leaving me hoping that Ryan calls Casey's name as the Idol going home tonight. Sadly, my eye candy this year will be leaving me. Your bright smile, dreamy eyes, and shaggy hair will be missed next week Mr. Urban, it's been a fun ride.
Next week we find Shania Twain back as the mentor as the Top 6 sing her songbook. Whoever chooses You're Still the One better not fuck it up!
~ ENVY OUT!
