Top 7
Top 7: aka the MOST boring episode of the season.
Bland show, bland songs, bland mentor, bland duets...yawn.
This has to be a ploy by the producers to bore the audience enough to NOT vote - having a fan favorite fall to the bottom, thus having the judges use the "precious golden save" - reminding us that they may be still relevent.
Out of the 7 performances this week, only 3 stand out as great and are worth talking about (and one of my favs is not one of them)
- but I guess I MUST stay professional and do my job and make YOU judge for yourself.
Singing any song released in the past 2 years proved to me that I haven't listened to the radio in a long long time. Space was wasted on this week's mentor Akon again proving this as one of the WORST weeks of the season.
Skyar - a remake of former Idol Kelly Pickler - just okay
watch it here:
Colton - this performance seemed LONG but good
watch it here:
Jessica - one of the best of the night, no one knows this song ( I have the album and never played it)
Proof that Jessica can sing the phone book and make it to the next week
watch it here:
Joshua - the newly named "Man-tasia" saved the show from being deleted. My favorite performance from this years Grammys was Runaway from Bruno Mars - Joshua's rendition was OUTSTANDING. The first time all season I rewinded the performance for a second look. The BEST of the night.
watch it here:
Hollie - it was good - I dont think it will keep her out of the bottom 3 again
watch it here:
Phillip Phillips - Just okay this week - he will ease in to top 5 ...but BORING (shocking I know) but he is allow a few bad weeks but not this close to the finale.
watch it here:
Elise is clearly reading my blog, last week I compared her to Gaga and this week she sings Gaga.....
So of course she is one of the top 3 of the week and will not be voted off easily
watch it here:
Bottom 2 maybe Hollie and Skylar...anyone else will be saved

Top 8: 80's night (and it feels alright)
Top 8
The best
season in years, the best theme and of all the eleven seasons ......the best group
over all. The 80s is my genre, confirmed by the fact that I knew the words to
all 8 songs performed.
I would buy a mega mix with ALL of these studio versions.
I would buy a mega mix with ALL of these studio versions.
Idol gave us
ANOTHER great mentor with Gwen Stefani – I like her cause “she aint no Holla
back girl”.
DeAndre: (I
like it) Finally, DeAndre won me over. He did a GREAT job. El Debarge is gonna
get PAID because D could release a cover album of all Debarge hits and sell. ..BUT
he was in the bottom last week. Unless HeeJun’s fans all of the sudden like
DeAndre – he (and his hair) is out.

Elis: (I
want to know what love is) If Lady Gaga took off the drag she would be Elis. She’s
a chart topper – this performance was as good as the original. Not sure what the judges were complaining
about (unless they already have the winner picked) Elis is ready.
Watch it
here:
Phillip
Phillips: (That’s all) It’s a shame he didn’t do Sussudio! PP does his thing,
his way to solidify his place as this years originator. He will be Top 2 in
May.
Watch it
here:
Joshua: (if
you know me by now) THE BEST OF THE NIGHT. The only person to take this song
from Simply Red is Joshua. Great GREAT GREAT. Lutha Lutha Lutha!!! I see a Joshua Ledet mega mix coming real
soon.
Watch it
here:
Jessica:
(How will I know) Does she NEED to work the Whitney card? I don’t think so? She
is great and this was just as good as the original. How many more Houston songs
will Jessica choose before the finale?
Watch it
here:
Hollie:
(What a feeling) She had me at song choice. One of the first soundtracks I ever
bought. A great total package – and a great tribute to the original, which I am
now looking for.
Watch it
here:
Colton:
(Time after Time) Not a Colton fan but I HAVE to acknowledge this was one of
the best remakes ever of this song (second to Patti LaBelle)
Watch it
here:
Skylar: (Wind
beneath my wings) I was SHOCKED she was in the bottom last week, and don’t see
this song changing that. DeAndre was better this week. It was good but she may
be back in danger this week.
Watch it
here:
The DUETS
Joshua and
Jessica – the BEST performance of the NIGHT!! Jessica sings Aretha Franklin?
Hollie and
DeAndre aka “kids sing Pointer Sister”
Colton and
Skylar, aka “Kids singing old peoples song”:
Phillip
Phillips and Elis sing Tom Petty
