American Idol Top 7
Casey James: “Don’t Stop” by Fleetwood Mac
He’s moving around a LITTLE bit more…but come on, Casey! Take Alicia’s advice and put YOU into the performance! You need to watch your pitch up on the high notes, too.
Lee DeWyze: “The Boxer” by Simon and Garfunkle
I haven’t seen eyes that full of emotion in a long time. As much as I love Lee, the song choice was lazy. It was just easy. There was NOTHING difficult about that song. I LOVE Lee and I think it’s coming down to Lee and Crystal, but I just don’t know about that song.
Tim Urban: “Better Days” by Goo Goo Dolls
Tim sounded like an amateur singer who doesn’t know how to control his voice. The notes were too high, the song was waaaaaaaay out of his reach, and his vocals were pitchy.
Aaron Kelly: “I Believe I Can Fly” by R. Kelly
This was actually beautiful. I have to say, he fell apart at the end a little, but this was Aaron’s best performance to date in my opinion. I felt the emotion in it.
Siobhan Magnus: “When You Believe” Whitney Houston
Kill me. Make me deaf. Please. I didn’t believe ANY emotion she tried to put into this performance. She was smiling WAAAAAAAAAAY too much. She was SO FUCKING PITCHY. IT WAS AWEFUL. IT MADE ME WANT TO KILL MYSELF.
Michael Lynch: “Hero” by Josey Scott and chad kroeger
I actually really liked this rendition. Not better than the original, but I liked it. Oh, and second name under the writing credits of the song (initials c.k.) isn’t capitalized because I absolutely HATE Nickelback.
Crystal Bowersox: “People Get Ready”
Mamasox, you killed it tonight. You moved me to tears, which is near impossible. You are truly an influential performer, and I really hope you win this thing.
