Let's say goodbye to
Michelle

John

Jermaine

and Haeley.

I can’t complain about any of the choices, you might be able to argue some others were more deserving, but these four certainly were deserving. Haeley just seemed overwhelmed by the experience (I couldn’t take her huge grin singing another awful song). Jermaine was not only bad, he argued incessantly when criticized which made him annoying as well. Michelle had a bad week, with her song choice just being awful. (Creed? You have to be kidding…does anyone like Creed? Or would admit to it?) And finally John Park sang another slow, boring song too big for his voice after getting skewered last week for singing a slow boring song too big for his voice. (BTW, his group sings R&B. Any reason he couldn’t on the show?)

As for those remaining contestants, it was nice to see some people step up. The girls specifically had some standouts, Crystal (who bounced back from her hospital stay with a great performance), Katelyn (who looked the part of a star at the piano) and Siobhan (who is a terribly interesting contestant despite not really showing much of her personality so far as you would like. Strange doesn’t count). The guys were not as good. A few stood out and positioned themselves to become favorites if they follow up this week with something special. But that’s not a given for anyone.

As for this week, I think Paige Miles, Todrick Hall, and Tim Urban are in huge trouble. Todrick has just been super awful, and Paige and Tim are just along for the ride it seems.

Slobhan with THINK, my favorite performance of the week (if you missed it..)

Note: Nice of idol to allowing video embedding (and not go after people on youtube). On my other blog I got a cease and desist for linking to a video trying to introduce someone to an artist. Nothing illegal, no downloads, like 7 people who visit, and a cease and desist email and all videos removed from youtube. BLEH..

See you Tuesday night with the Boys Top 8 LIVE!
