"Rankings - Top 10 - R&B Week" |
A surprising week, in more ways than one...1 - Lee Dewyze - Treat Her Like A Lady - Why they didn't get Lee the pimp spot is a shock. Best performance of the night, and Lee has finally found his comfort zone on Idol. Watch out. He could surprise us all.
2 - Crystal - Midnight Train - For a song that has been overdone, she brought new life to it and switched it up. Love this girl.
3 - Casey - Hold On - Like Crystal, he knows who he is and he's finally getting the respect he deserves from the judges
4 - Andrew - Forever - FINALLY the Andrew we loved from Hollywood finds his way back. Excellent performance and he too has gained confidence. --- GAP --- 5 - Michael - Ready For Love - I didn't know the song, but he did it well. Excellent pitch on that song.
6 - Aaron - Aint No Sunshine - Pretty good, he's been better.
7 - Katie - Like Aaron, pretty good. I agree, i cna't see a 17 year old singing that song...but... --- GAP --- 8 - Siobhan - Through The Fire - Wow, what happened to Siobhan. Not good, pitch was all off, out of tune, shocking.
9 - Didi - What Becomes... - Agree with the judges 100%, flat, boring.
10 - Tim - Sweet Love - Wow, most obscure song choice ever on Idol?? Bizarre. I love the song but can anyone other than Anita Baker sing that one? I don't think so, and especially not Tim Urban. High School Talent Night. geekboy

1. "RE: Rankings - Top 10 - R&B Week" |
Geekboy, our rankings are very similar1 - Lee - I thought this excellent and his best performance. 2 - Andrew - A huge comeback, by far his best performance. 3 - Casey - I was really impressed with this and I like Sam Cooke 4 - Chrystal - As usual, she was excellent and I loved the change up. 5 - Katie - When I saw what she was singing I thought disaster but she did well and seems to be improving every week. gap 6 - Michael - Better than the last few weeks but I did expect more since this was his type of music. 7 - Siobhan - She seems to be going backwards to me, the screams are way past old. 8 - Aaron - Not real good but not nearly as bad as the bottom 2 Big gap 9 - Didi - She is just not that good and this performance was awful. 10 - Tim - This guy needs to go home, he has no business still being here. Overall - I thought the top 5 were really good with Lee being the best tonight. Tim and Didi were by far the worst and if Tim doesn't finally go it should be Didi!

3. "RE: Rankings - Top 10 - R&B Week" |
After last week's train wreck, this week was actually surprisingly good. But, year of the woman? Pshaw . . . my rankings below:1.) Lee Dewyze - Lee nailed it tonight. The song suited him perfectly and he brought the appropriate intensity to the performance. Needs to show some consistency and go for two in a row next week. 1B.) Crystal Bowersox - Glad she changed up her regular routine and the song itself as well. Love the emotion she's starting to instill in her performances. Contra Cowell, she needs to show some flexibility (while not losing her essential essence, of course  ) 3.) Michael Lynche - I love him with guitar in hand; it prevents Michael from flapping his arms around in an awkward manner like he usually does.  Seriously, it was my favorite performance from him thus far. Emotionally attuned and pitch perfect. 4.) Casey James - An extremely enjoyable performance, but I continue to doubt that Casey will ever truly wow me vocally. 5.) Andrew Garcia - Best performance in what . . . two months? Nice song choice and sung well. 6.) Katie Stevens - I give her credit. She put a lot of energy and pizazz into her performance tonight & it was her best vocal of the season. I think the song choice is going to backfire on her though - the song just came across as too old-fashioned and unbelievable coming from Katie. Although she wouldn't deserve it, I see a potential return trip to the bottom three on Wednesday. 7.) Aaron Kelly - He was better in the rehearsal clip than he was live tonight!? Vocally OK, but the performance just seemed flat. 8.) Siobhan Magnus - That was a hot mess, Chernobyl style. I can't think of one thing I truly liked about the performance. What should have been a home run (it was an inspired song choice) somehow turned into a triple play for the defense. It'll be interesting to see where we go from here - will tonight cause Siobhan's confidence to be permanently shot, or can she rebound? She seemed to take the criticism really hard tonight (althought it probably didn't help having the judges do an impromptu extended judging segment). 9.) Tim Urban - Stiff and uninspired during the first half, but I think Tim was getting into the song by the end. It was a bit too slow, and a bit too old-fashioned (although I think Tim prefers old-fashioned), so I think he's in real danger of going this week. 10.) Didi Benami - Robotic and mechanical. If Didi is emotionally attached to the song, it certainly didn't come through in her performance. The poor girl looks completely lost on stage at this point.

6. Aaron - he'd have gotten the 5 spot but I kept hearing Kris Allen. Sorry, Aaron, Kris did it better - no competition.
Dittos.I miss Alex more than you could imagine.
Double Dittos. 10. Tim - his voice is average. His looks are average. He's not entirely unlikeable but he's not entirely likeable either.

1. Crystal-I thought she would pick this song (or the one Tim did) I loved it. She shouldn't play the piano again bc it distracted her from her singing. I loved her shoes2. Siobhan-I liked this, esp. the beg. I thought it was a good choice and she sounded good to me until the end when she was screaming again 3. Casey-great song choice. I think this was his best but if he's going the electric guitar he needs to move around more...next week he should go back to acoustic and the chair 4. Andrew-meh on the Chris Brown song choice but he did okay with it but not as good as this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfsgXe24cqk At one point when he sang Double your pleasure Double your fun--he should have sang DoubleMint gum! it would have shown some personality. 5. Tim-Teflon Timmy I love him. And I voted for him for over an hour! He didn't sound that bad and I love how he laughed in the judges' faces. Simon's admissions are all too true! 6. Lee-meh Nickelbacking R&B it was not that great but he did get into more but life changing, um no 7. Mike-meh...he can't play guitar so he should leave it backstage. I thought it was too slow and the lighting that they were using to try to pimp him did not help at all. I still think he should have picked a Luther song 8. Katie-such a horrible song choice. She did sing it pretty well but it was all wrong re lyrics needed to pick more contemporary like last week 9. Aaron-yeah, Kris won last year bc of this song imho. This was no where close and too close in time so everyone is going to compare. Also a bad song choice for him he needed something more contemporary. This was horrible and he completely ignored Usher's advice (great mentor by the way I love him) and just sang Iknow...100 times in monotone 10. Didi-what a rubbish of choice of song. Really, the lounge from the 70s called Didi and you got the job. This was horrible. I couldn't even listen to it all...I hope she goes this week.

1. Michael - Ready For Love - Cool acoustic ballad, unlike what I expected. This guy is good. (And I was surprised to see him playing the acoustic guitar!)2. Siobhan - Through The Fire - She cuts through and joins in with the background vocals and band. I'm familiar with the original and she made a good attempt to make it original of her own in just a week. Usher was totally right about her. 3. Crystal - Midnight Train - Nice performance after the strong start by the first three. Good cover, but not extraordinary. 4. Casey - Hold On - Nice week's work for a Chicago-ish band sound and vocal (and they didn't even cover the song). He's no Terry Kath, nor are his vocals great. He's a band man, not the soloist. Good follow up to Siobhan to energize the night. 5. Aaron - Aint No Sunshine - Again, know the original by heart... and yeah, I grooved on Aaron's take on it. Not stellar by any means, but hey, I like this dude. 6. Lee Dewyze - Treat Her Like A Lady - Energetic, perhaps, but still second rate. 7. Andrew - Forever - In short... the Subway singer. Five dollah in the hat. 8. Katie - Chain of Fools - Ta-da-dat-dat-dat-dah. But nuthin' like the Lady. Nuh, uh, tho' passable. 9. Didi - What Becomes of a Brokenhearted - A wannabee singer in a singing competition. 'Nuf said. 10. Tim - Sweet Love - Aw, man, there goes for VFTW votes.

1. Siobhan - even though she sounded a little flat at times and even after re-watching this morning I thought she's still ahead of the pack. And she doesn't compromise who she is. She's just wicked good.2. Crystal - If she'd left off the piano and back up singers she might have been first this week. 3. Michael - loved the coustic guitar. Did a great job with this song. 4. Casey - he was in his element and it showed. 5. Lee - I can see improvement. Hopefully he's just getting used to being on stage and just keeps getting better and better. 6. Aaron - I just like the kid. And the kid can sing. 7. Andrew - Better but not as good as I thought he was going to be at the start of this season. 8. Katie - Chain of Fools - Only one I wanted to FF thru, I don't know why she bores me so much. 9. Didi - Sometimes she's hot, sometimes she's not. She was not last night. 10. Tim - Ellen hit it on the head a few weeks ago, the boy should try out for a part on Glee. He's cheesy, tweens think he's hawt and he has a passable voice. Sometimes.

2. Casey
3. Crystal

Here are my rankings:1. Crystal -- I enjoyed her performance of "Midnight Train to Georgia." Cool performance! 2. Michael -- I liked this performance quite a bit! Of course this is his genre. 3. Lee -- not my favorite but this was his best performance. He's in the race now! 4. Casey -- his best performance in quite awhile as well. 5. Katie -- great vocals, good performance. 6. Andrew -- wow! What a comeback for him! This is the best he's been since Hollywood week! 7. Aaron -- pretty good but I agree with you, Geekboy -- he's been better. 8. Didi -- I love the song but I think this would work better on Katie than on her. Gap -- 9. Siobhan -- risky song choice, and she paid for it. I hope she's safe this week. BIG GAP -- 10. Tim -- time for him to go. He's just not good enough and maybe even he knows it. I sure hope he does!

LAST EDITED ON 03-31-10 AT 09:12 PM (EST)1. Crystal--best vocal of the night. Performance wise, a bit unsteady at first with the piano. But she tried. I rewound her part and listened a few times. Very nice, Crystal, and I am glad you showed your versatility. ** I am worried that Crystal is getting the Melinda Doolittle treatment from the judges. Short shrift in the praise department. And didn't Simon learn from season 6 that Melinda wound up as third place? Give Crystal her proper props, judges! **
2. Lee--most improved of the ten. Right on schedule. ;) 3. Casey--I know his voice isn't as good as Crystal's but darn it, he entertains! Keep it up, Casey, I loved how you enjoyed yourself. And it seems like the musicians on AI like him, too. --gap-- 4. Michael--I appreciate his going to a quiet song to show some versatility. Over pimped, though, with Ryan asking Usher to weigh in on Michael's performance, but hey, when has AI been fair? --gap-- Any of these can leave anytime and I won't mind except for Siobhan: 5. Tim--weak start and weak when you sang softly. Enjoyed it when you used your full voice. There was a Michael Buble-esque quality about you in those parts. And phooey on the judges, you just don't fit their agenda this year. Disney, however, may have a place for you. And I don't mean that in a negative way. I mean it in a grow up and develop your skills way; a good experience perhaps. 6. Andrew--improvement versus your previous but not as good as you should be to be on AI. Very good song choice--current, and popular. People sometimes vote as much for the song as the contestant. 7. Siobhan --good effort but fell short of the mark. I know you can deliver much more. 8. Katie--I know you can sing well but you seem like Kat McPhee #2. Overpimped. 9. Didi--all kinds of wrong. Get the judges out of your head and do what YOU want, Didi. 10. Aaron--sigh. Why are you on the show and not someone else with more talent? The pimp spot was a total gift last night. And please, don't do any more of the songs Kris did last year. Please leave some of the memories intact.
