American Idol Recap

Tonight’s Idol was all Mariah Carey songs.  I like some of her songs, but I haven’t been a big fan of her ever since she and her husband split up and she started dressing like a prostitute. I mean what was the deal with her outfit??!!  I’m not sure that would be flattering on anyone.  Anyway, let’s get to it.  Here’s my take on the night:

1.  David A–  I didn’t recognize the song, but as usual he sounded fantastic.  The beginning was a little rough, but it really was a super ending.  I could totally see him bringing Christian/Inspirational music to mainstream. 

2.  Carly–First off, she looked so pretty tonight.  Gosh, I totally sound like Paula.  Now for the bad news. I just didn’t care for this performance.  It is almost as if her singing makes me feel tired.  Her songs are always so over the top.  She has a lot of talent, but I just don’t think she has quite found herself yet as an artist. 

3.  Syesha–I did like her performance, but I didn’t love it.  There is just something about her that screams fake to me.  I wish she could just be a little more down to earth. 

4.  Brooke–Like Carly, Brooke looked very pretty tonight.  But also like Carly, she didn’t completely impress me tonight.  It was just ayight (sp?) to me.

5.  Kristy–I have to admit that I kind of wanted to see her mess up a little.  Well, she once again was able to pull it off and I must say that she did a really good job tonight.  I’m not a big fan of country, but I like what she does with the songs.

6.  David C.–This was a risky move, but it completely paid off.  He was unbelievable!  I love that song and his version was so unique and interesting.  I totally thought the same thing as Paula about the movie soundtrack thing. 

7.  Jason–As usual, he was my favorite of the night.  Again, this was totally original and it had a such a great sound.  My husband actually compared it to George Michael’s ”Careless Whisper”.   I would actually buy his music and I’m not sure that I can say the same for the other contestants.   How cute was the part when Mariah gave him a melody suggestion and he said “I loved it.”  Such a cutie!  Oh and the comment about the luau–I agree with Paula–I’d LOVE to be at that luau listening to him all night long too.    

Edited to add:  I think it will be Syesha, Carly and Brooke in the bottom 3 tomorrow.  I’m thinking Carly will go home, but it may be Brooke.  I’m just hoping it isn’t another shocker like last week.

    I forgot about the luau comment – I would buy Jason’s music, too. Something about him is so relaxing to me. I enjoyed reading your take on it all! :)

    I agree about Syesha being fake, I really want to like her, she’s pretty and at times has a pretty voice, but she doesn’t seem to dig deep enough to show us who she really is.

    Have you bought any of the iTunes downloads? I plan on getting David C’s and Jason’s this week. I got the both last week and they’re much fun to listen to. (even David C’s which didn’t come across that well on the show last week)

    To be honest, I’m a little disappointed this season because I haven’t been blown away, but maybe this is the year of the subtle idol like Brooke or Jason who are both talented but maybe can’t pull off the “diva” songs. I would like to see the finale songs be different stylistically this year. I guess we’ll see.

    I haven’t done any downloading yet, but I do have a few that I would definitely like to get–David A.’s “Imagine” and Jason’s “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and last night’s Mariah song come to mind.
