1. Phil Stacey ("Missing You")Phil starts by pulling out the military card in his clip. I dislike him already. He has an agreeable voice, I'll give him that. Beyond that, nothing else. No spark, no emotions, nada, zilch.
2. Jared Cotter ("Let's Get It On")
Jared plays the part of gigolo in a PG-13 bridal shower in this desperate performance. The singing is, at best, mediocre. Why don't he just take his clothes off and make me a happy customer?
3. A.J. Tabaldo ("Feeling Good")
Our pinoy sister, A.J., reminds me of those marginally talented Kundirana boys back at high school. They're adequate as a front act, but we didn't buy the damn overpriced concert ticket to hear them. I hope A.J. proves me wrong.
4. Sanjaya Malakar ("Stepping Out")
This is what you get when you cross-breed an adolescent Michael Jackson, Chucky the doll, and a tranquilizer. Sanjaya's embarrassing performance is more suited for "Showbiz Moms and Dads" than American Idol. The only good news: I just cured my insomnia.
5. Chris Sligh ("Trouble")
Against my wishes, Chris makes love with my ears with his strong, full-bodied voice. Now, I just have to close my eyes and think of Leandro Okabe. Seriously, he's the best male singer out there.
6. Nick Pedro ("Fever")
I like Nick's performance. It was smooth, mellow and may even contain beneficial anti-oxidants. Smooth and mellow, however, may not impress a lot of people.
7. Blake Lewis ("Virtual Insanity")
Blake thinks he's better than he actually is. Hence, this horrid, off-key performance. On the plus side, I enjoyed the beat-boxing and scatting. Next week, he should do just that.
8. Brandon Rogers ("Time After Time")
Same as Nick's performance, only more heartfelt. The problem for Brandon is that the audience wants long, intricate, power notes, not subtle singing. Too bad because I think he's one of the more talented guys out there.
9. Chris Richardson ("Geek In The Pink")
Flat and overrated. In other words, very Justin Timberlake. And will he please keep still for once. His epileptic movements is giving me a headache.
10. Sundance Head ("Mustang Sally")
I hated everything he did on stage: the singing, the "dancing", the breathing. Please take this noisy man-boar far, far away from my TV screen.
Best of the night: Chris Sligh
Worst of the night" Man-boar Head
