So the final twelve got their truly first taste of "Holy shit, I might win
American Idol?!?", and it’s not looking good for any of the dudes, but it
looks like Simon has figured out who would be the money-maker if only she would
sing better. Here’s my take on last night’s singing, on Diana Ross
night…
Brandon: Not a good start for the dudes. He seemed rushed, or
the band seemed to playing the song too fast for him. Then he blew it when he
couldn’t recover after his pelvic thrusting.
Melinda: She was great, but she needs to drop a few pounds to get into
a different league.
Chris (with hair): Ruined a beautiful song by trying to do a new
arrangement.
Gina: I think she did a decent version and is in a weird league on the
show being the "rocker-chick."
Sanjaya: He was fantastic in his Sanjaya way and
so deserves to stay, just so we can see Simon pull his hair out.
Haley: Boring but nice legs. I think Simon is secretly rooting for her
to pull it together because of most of the contestants she has the look to pull
off the pop-idol career.
Phil: So far he was the best of the dudes, but still nothing special,
and doesn’t have a pop-idol look.
Lekisha: Great voice, in that Motown style of way.
Blake: Why do these dudes think they need to "update" these songs, and
then suck at it?
Stephanie: She just seemed okay, nothing special.
Chris (with less hair): He was just bad.
Jordin: She sounded and looked great. She’s the closest to
having the entire idol package.
Looks like the competition is between Melinda, Lekisha, and Jordin, with Gina
tossed in as a wild card if only because she is the exact opposite of that trio.
None of the dudes are close to the girls at this point, but I’m still throwing
my hat in Sanjaya’s corner, just for the shear humor of it.
Who gets booted? We’ll find out tonight, but from one web site it’s
looking good for Sanjaya sticking around for awhile. Hooray!
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!
