Katie Stevens– “Break Away” by Kelly Clarkson
This 17 year old was the first girl of the evening to perform, and she sang her heart out. Unfortunately, she did not “Break Away” from the pack. Though she may have given this performance everything she thought she had given it, Katie was lacking in energy and understanding of the song. Her stylish fashion and lovely hair were, sadly enough, the best parts of her performance this week.
Siobhan Magnus– “House Of The Rising Sun” by Animals
Siobhan sang beautifully. This was a great song choice for this girl. Her style and her voice gave this song a twist that just kind of worked…in a way I can’t describe. All in all, this was a great performance, and I expect to see Siobhan in the top 12.
Lacey Brown– “The Story” by –insert artist name here-
Sitting on the side of the Idol stage, Lacey showed incredible emotion as she sang a very soft rendition of this song. She was pitchy in a lot of places, but I believe she most definitely gave her best performance so far.
Katelyn Epperly– “I Feel The Earth Move” by Carole King
Katelyn is a very charismatic young lady with a lot of heart, but her rendition of this song was absolutely terrible. She was very pitchy and it was a very simple choice, which really brought the impressive-ness down. This performance may hurt her chances of being in the top 12.
Didi Benami– “Rhiannon” by –insert artist name here-
Looking like Taylor Swift and sounding like Natasha Beddingfield, Didi gave a performance to remember. Though her face and her voice are not too original, her performace was beyond moving. Look for her in the top 12 next week.
Paige Miles– “Smile” by Charlie Chaplin
I was taught that if I had nothing nice to say, to say nothing at all. So…
Crystal Bowersox– “Give Me One Reason” by Tracy Chapman
This entry will never end if I begin to write about this performer. If Crystal freaking Bowersox does not win this season of American Idol, I will boycott this show.
Lilly Scott– “I Fall To Pieces” by Patsy Kline
A sweet-faced girl, Lilly tried to play the mandolin so she could cover up the fact that she couldn’t really sing this song, but unfortunately for her, she failed. Because I’ve already used way too many commas, I’m ending this entry.
