Top 10: the Billy Joel songbook

This week the kids perform songs from the Billy idol songbook, dare I say wasted most it. I heard few songs I recognized which is half the work – so they better bring it.

 The addition of Tommy Hilfigner is STUPID. I am not just saying that because the only “TH” I can get into is a watch. This is NOT a makeover show- talk about an obvious way to fill (waste) 2 hours.

 The final nail was the mentor: Puff Diddy Daddy Combs aka J.Lo’s ex. ( anyone also notice the commercials for Q’viva with Ex- Marc Anthony…oh I wish Ben Affleck had a movie to promote – that would have been a PERFECT trifecta). I was so bored, I went to clean the bathroom.

This was not a great week over all but duty calls, see what I do for you people.

DeAndre: (Only the good die young) D’s hair can only carry him a few weeks and he will have to actually PERFORM every week. He did OKAY. Will okay…. get you into the top 5? The judges trying to tie the song title to the issue in Fla was a STRETCH. The boy aint THAT deep.

Erica: (New York State of mind) Did they REALLY give this girl a total hair make over? Chopped most of it off and dyed her blonde hair BLACK..what show is this again? And did it make her SOUND better? This is when I checked out.....did it make her SOUND better? The fashion tips overshadowed why I was watching – for the songs. Now that they turned Erica into Kim and Chloe’s mom – we will see if it will keep her out of the bottom 3 this week. She always sounded great but did we notice?

Joshua: (She’s got a way) The man is good – I don’t think it was a “wow” as the past 2 weeks but he can’t bring a 10 EVERY week.

Skylar: (Shameless) The country girl did a country song – she remained in the middle for me. No bad but no wow factor for me. She will stay in the top 5 tho’.

Elis: (….Waits for you?) Don’t know this one and still not sure what the title is, but she was one of the best of the night. She has to find a way to get the old folks (ie:over 16) to vote. She  shockingly has been in the bottom for a few weeks and may be again. I like her and will buy her music.

Phillip Phillips: (Moving on) He is the man, he had me from day one . Thriller on guitar. P.P. aint thinking about no damn’d Tommy Hilfinger and WAS NOT GOING TO ME MADE OVER? Tommy actually turned into an IDOL judge and said he wont get votes with his drab grey outfit. P.P. flipped Tommy the virtual  bird and came out wearing grey, grey and more grey. Phillip reminded us what this show is SUPPOSED to be about …the MUSIC. He also told the producers that they wasted tons of money on Tommy cause nobody cool is wearing THAT in 2012. (except HeeJun) Another plus (not that he needed it) P.P. did not appreciate Diddy Sean trying to change his style AND seem PISSED that Sean Puffy wanted him to sing to groupies. The mentors also wanted no guitar.

 So show time – Phillip Phillips did the song HIS way, with HIS guitar wearing HIS clothes. I think I want him to win on GENERAL. He made it this far…and he will FIGHT to the trophy ..go P.P.

Holly: (Honesty) I like this little soul sister but this week didn’t grab me. She does have one of the best voices tho…and was one of the best of the night.

HeeJun: (My Life) Is a fool, is this American got Jokes? Making them laugh can only get him so far. He aint winning. Tommy took his logo and drapped him in it..and HeeJun fell for it. I have to say when Puff said “HeeJun is a con artist, I don’t even think he’s Asian” okay THAT was funny….almost as funny as his actual performance. Oh I wish Simon was still there. HeeJun would still be crying. Another funny moment .. When JLo got booed for telling the “TRUTH” HeeJun said “Don’t boo Jennifer Lopez” LOL Steven Tyler didn’t hold back “ You need to take it serious” I think he is outta here.

Jessica: (Everybody has a dream) Diddy mentoring singers? Telling her not to do tricks. Diddy who has NEVER sang a song without 100 hammer – style background dancers…to hide his singing? The performance was good but Jessica needs to bring back the Jessica from 2 weeks ago. She’s aint the solid winner anymore. She is still great tho'

Colton: (Piano man) A red piano will get anyone’s attention. He did a good job. He was the best Billy Joel of the night. Good but not MY favorite.
