Well, we made it! Today we meet the
first third of the top 36! Its going
to be good! Get prepared!! Below you will find my rating about each Idol
singer. Tonight is the first group of 12. They also announced how they are shaping the top 12. Each night, the top highest guy and top highest girl will make it through. Then the next highest vote getter will also make it through which gets us to 9. Then, on the Wild Card show, 3 contestants will make it through. **KEEP IN MIND** This does not change how the contest will be run! That is staying the same!!
I have decided that this season I
will watch the show and judge without the input of the judges. I mute them
while I type my results. Then I replayed the results during breaks and said who
I agreed with. Honestly!! These performances are in order so if you are still
up until 12:00 PM EST tonight, you can still call in! Remember the number is
1-866-IDOLS(43657)-(their two digits eg. 01 or 12) OR if you have a AT&T
Wireless phone, you can text the word VOTE to 57(their two digits). ((OK now I
really feel like Ryan)). I'm excited this year because I have a DVR! That means I can pause the show more and make sure I spell names right the first time lol.
Also, tonight since we are picking 3 people to go on to the top 12, I will post either "SAFE" if i think they made it through or "GOING HOME" if I am 100% sure they are out. If I leave a - in the field, I was unsure.
01. Jackie Tohn sang Little Less Conversation by Elvis Presley.
How I think they did: Made it sound a little like Bleeding Love at the start. What a way to start the night! It was great entertainment. Simon thought she played the clown tonight.
I agree with Randy on replay.

02. Ricky Braddy sang A Song For You
by Leon Russell.
How I think they did: If I closed my eyes, I would picture Clay Aiken on stage singing that song. Sounded JUST like him. It sounds kinda whiny... I'm not really thinking he's to go in the top 12. It was good, but not great.
I agree with Simon on replay.

03. Alexis Grace sang Never Loved a Man
by Aretha Franklin.
How I think they did: She reminds me of Taylor Swift (looks wise). Well, she did in the video before her stage performance. It was very soulful. She seems very different than she did during auditions, she took the advice the judges gave her. She might go far this season. Watching the singing recap, she looks like Duffy!
I agree with Simon on replay.

04. Brent Keith sang Hick Town
by Artist.
How I think they did: They had some tape errors... but got them fixed quickly, was kinda funny watching the improvisation they did to cover the situation... I thought it was a very safe. It was definitely forgettable. He is going home tomorrow.
I agree with Simon on replay.
My Order (This week: GOING HOME) (Last week:
-)
05. Stevie Wright sang You Belong With Me
by Taylor Swift.
How I think they did: Started terribly. She sounded very nervous. I was very bored with it. WAY too safe.
I agree with all the judges on replay.

06. Anoop Desai sang Angel of Mine
by Monica.
How I think they did: It was a good performance. It was very sharp the whole way through. He has a lot of potential tho. It was a little grown up for him... Paula compared him to Brian McKnight. IF you were paying attention, after Ryan sat back down he put his hand on Anoop's mom's hand! It was funny.
I agree with Simon on replay.
My Order (This week: HAS A SHOT) (Last week:

07. Casey Carlson sang Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic by The Police.
How I think they did: It was very boring. Not a good song choice. Sounded too much like the original. I think, contrary to Anoop, she was very flat.
I agree with all the judges on replay.
My Order (This week: GOING HOME) (Last week:

08. Michael Sarver sang I Don't Wanna Be
by Gavin Degraw.
How I think they did: The begining stunk. I dont think it was his best so far. The song has been sung by at least 3 different Idols so far. I like Michael as a person but it just wasn't for him. And for some reason, this season, they are all about "another chance," I dont think they deserve second chances on this show! You either have it or you dont!
I agree with Simon on replay.

09. Anne Marie Boskovich sang Natural Woman
by Aretha Franklin.
How I think they did: Song choice again. That is such a big song that they need to kill it to make it work. I don't think it was good enough
I agree with Simon on replay.
My Order (This week: GOING HOME) (Last week:

10. Stephen Fowler sang Rock With You
by Michael Jackson.
How I think they did: He PROMISED to not forget the words tonight. I gotta give props to a local tho. Not the right song for him. Pitchy. Paula called it the "Kiss of Death".
I agree with Paula, Simon on replay.
My Order (This week: GOING HOME :( ) (Last week:
-)
11. Tatiana Del Toro sang I Am Saving All Of My Love For You
by Whitney Houston.
How I think they did: I'm glad they kept her annoying laugh out of the video. Despite how much I can't stand her, She was actually a decent singer tonight! Very Impressive. Makes me kinda miss the old Tatiana.... NAH!
I agree with Simon on replay.

12. Danny Gokey sang Hero
by Mariah Carey.
How I think they did: I thought it was AMAZING. The BEST PERFORMANCE all night!!
I agree with Simon on replay.

Results are tomorrow night at 8/7c!
