SLIGHTLY better show if we are grading on a curve...
Ok, first things first - Nick. I am kind of torn here. He was probably the most entertaining performance of the night and he should get kudos for that. But when he kept the shtick going during the judge's comments and such, he lost me. If this was a desparate attempt to get into the top 12, i'm there - i even applaud it. If this is what you are always going to do, then no - go away. It's not a comedy show and this will get old very fast - honestly it will get old by the next performance.

I thought Adam was good (he sang satisfaction) but it was really indulgent, once again over the top theatric (i'm beginning to doubt he can get past that) but unlike a lot of people tonight, he sang really well. So i say he makes it...
As for first girl, i'd say Megan makes it. She's cute, she got pimped by Simon, and her performance was good (there were no moments where you cringed which was better than almost any other performance.) So i think she's first girl..
As far as the other spot, it's a tossup to me. I'd think Alison might be the choice because of her ALONE performance, it's an idol favorite song, it was a solid performance, and the judges liked it, albeit more than I did. If i had to pick, i'd take her.
There were some themes tonight....bad song choices, and forgettable vocals. I always complain no one picks more modern songs, and today we got massacre's of Coldplay and Sara Barelle's so maybe I should shut up and stop complaining.
Very, Very forgetable season so far. They badly need a dark horse to have some sort of moment next week to put some life back into this.

It's the end of Group 2 picks...I really wanted Megan to move on, but Alison did seem to be stronger and more together overall. This top boy, top girl, and then top boy or girl is really making it hard for those who don't put on their A-game!
ReplyDeleteKris Allen -- you betta step it up cuz you took Kai's spot. I just really like Kai.
OK, could you be more obvious...bring up Nick and Adam as the final two. Unless America wanted more Sanjaya drama, of course they're going to choose Adam (he reminds me of a Japanese anime character...lol). He's probably one of the top ones capable so far and I even thought for a sec tonight if he might go all the way (good looks and decent vocals), but like Juan mentioned, he may not get past his theatrical style.
The following better get called back for wildcard spots: Kai, Anoop Dawg, Jasmine, Megan.
