[EmoJoe]

its on :D

love how kellie and mandisa get the pimp spots at the end o_O

[EmoJoe]

Paris Bennett

i dont know the song, but it sounds familuar. Conga Beat or something

ehh its ok. its kind of a weird performance. it gets better, but im just not a big fan of her voice. 8.5/10

Randy: Interesting song choice. Wasn't my favorite choice of yours. You can sing anything, but you need to challenge yourself. It was altight.
Paula: Difficult song to sing, it captured my attention.
Simon: You're enthuastic, but I saw nerves. You'll be in the top 12

[EmoJoe]

Lisa Tucker

its ok. better then last week. vocals sound a little off in the middle though...she can DEFINITLEY sing though. not my all time favorite from her though. picks up towards the end...8.7/10.

Randy: Good song, but it's a little old for you. I wanted you to stretch vocally, and you didnt. Just alright
Paula: You're a seasoned performer, your an amazing perfomer. You didnt sing a song that we could get in to, but you've got the whole package.
Simon: It sounds like your mom is choosing your songs. But you're going to sail through the next round, WE WANT you in the next round because you're super talented.

[EmoJoe]

Melissa McGhee

lol she's a car freak.

she's singing a heart song...

fun performance but vocally its just ok. i dont really like her voice that much. she cracks a little bit in the middle. her performance seems ultra short o_O 8.5/10

Randy: Good song choice, you went sharp at the end but you did a good job.
Paula: You did your thing, you're improving
Simon: I totally disagree. The last note booked your plane ticket home.

melissa's gonna go, because simon says so, and we all know how important THAT is *cough*

[EmoJoe]

Rankings So Far

1. Lisa- 8.7/10

[EmoJoe]

Kinnik Sky

If I Ain't Got You- Alicia Keyes

i thought he said kinnik was next...?

katharine's not quitting OR pregnant. ;) there goes there's rumors...

ANYWAY....back to kinnik...

really boring and weak vocally. its just really awful...2/10. she's definitley leaving thursday

Randy: Started out amazing, and then it got sharp. You didnt nail it.
Paula: Usually you DO nail it...you look amazing, but you were off.
Simon: Started out good, but then you messed it up. It was appauling. I think you have booked your plane ticket home.

even a bad comment from paula...:eek: :eek: :eek:

[EmoJoe]

Rankings So Far

1. Lisa- 8.7/10

fun performance, and good vocally too! best of the night so far!!! mucccccccccch 38993298023490834x better then last week. 10/10

Randy: WE'VE GOT A HOT ONE TONIGHT!!
Paula: You showed a different side, you're like a well-oiled machine, good voice, excellent job
Simon: That was a risk and you pulled it off big time. It was effortless. You're gonna sail through.

[EmoJoe]

2. Lisa - 7.7/10
3. Paris - 7.5/10
4. Melissa - 6.5/10
5. Kinnik - 5/10

[David]

What's interesting is that this song Ayla is singing is on Lisa's myspace :lol:

[David]

Randy doesn't like it?! I loved it! I do agree about the song being only within a 5-note range, but I think it was a risk because it was an upbeat song, and it's very contemporary.

[EmoJoe]

nevermind Ayla is next

Ayla Brown

Unwritten- Natasha Benningfield!!!

:rotflmao: she thought her dad was elvis presley!!!

starts off a little rough. gets better. lol paris is dancing in the red room. its kind of an ehh-ish song but overall its good. 9/10

Randy: Okay song, but it's not a great "singer song". It was alright (i think he's said that in like all of the performances lol)
Paula: You took a risk, good job
Simon: Pretty good actually, I LOVE you. But you need to show what you are in your film clips. It was good, not fantastic...you have to be younger.

i agree with simon, - the younger part, i disagree with him there.

[David]

Great song for Mandisa!

[EmoJoe]

Mandisa

she sucked her thumb until she was 24 :eek:

"I'm Every Woman"- Chaka Khan (what...an overdone...song o_O)

its not my favorite song, but its a good performance. again, better then last week. IMO, she's yet to match "Never" (her first semi-final performance) though. this came close though. 9/10

standing O from paula

Randy: Yo, I'm givin you your props. Best vocal by a female this season.
Paula: You sang your butt off
Simon: All of the girls hate your guts tonight. Everyone before you now looks ordinary. It was in a different leauge

well we know who the judges want in the top 12 :)

[EmoJoe]

i liked mandisa but it wasnt the best female vocal of the season

[EmoJoe]

Kellie Pickler

"I'm the Only One" (Nadia sang this last year on top 10/90s week)

love the dog aww :biglove:

i...hate...the...fire :wallbang: in the backround


LOVE it. in my top 2 of the night!!!! love the song too. 9.5/10

Randy: Wow, you're very contestant, really great, you added country to the song, great song choice
Paula: Guys are in love with you, you're adorable, you just keep getting better and better.
Simon: You're a naughty little mincks (??). You're a nice bad girl. I really, really like you. Not the best singer, but :cuss: YOU'RE BETTER THEN CARRIE?!!?!?

lol kellie looks disapointed with the carrie comment

[EmoJoe]

love kellie, but...she is in no way better then carrie, and i dont want her to win...but ugh it sure looks that way right now doesnt it?

[David]

I loved Kellie's performance :D

With that Carrie comment, it's obvious that he meant personality-wise. And to some extent, I agree, because I think Carrie would have been even better if she had Kellie's personality, since Carrie was really shy on the show.

[David]

love kellie, but...she is in no way better then carrie, and i dont want her to win...but ugh it sure looks that way right now doesnt it?

No, she won't win, don't worry. I love Kellie, but she's one of those people who will get decently far, but you know they can't win.

[Cactus Jack]

What's interesting is that this song Ayla is singing is on Lisa's myspace :lol:
Really? :lol: Awesome

Katahrine, Ayla, Kellie, Paris and Mandisa were AWESOME!!! So was lisa

The rest were Ok

[EmoJoe]

I loved Kellie's performance :D

[felicitylen]

My rank:

1. Katherine McPhee
2. Mandisa
3. Paris
4. Lisa Tucker
5. Kelly
6. Melissa
7. Ayla Brown
8. Kinnik

My favorites are Katherine, Mandisa and Paris.

[Karen*]

I'm not voting tonight. :grr: I know for a fact that Katharine will stay. Besides, I care about Chris more. :lookaroun

Mandisa and Kellie's performances were great, but a little overrated.

My rankings for tonight:
1. Katharine
2. Mandisa
3. Paris
4. Ayla
5. Kellie
6. Lisa
7. Melissa
8. Kinnik

Those last two BETTER go home (Even though I just downloaded the original version of the song Melissa sang tonight, LOL). My top 6 girls are the ****!! :snob:

[G-Force Glockstar]

My favorite last night was KELLIE!!! :D But I was shocked when Simon (it was Simon, right?) said he preferred her over Carrie! :eek: I guess he just ment personality since Kellie is so outgoing and Carrie was shy.

[EmoJoe]

review i wrote on IDF


Paris Bennett
I hardly rememberd her by the end of the show. I honestly didnt think she was that good. She seems to be getting weaker as the weeks go on. She'll make top 12 but I think she might be out around top 7 week. Vocally, it was just average, but performance-wise it was pretty good.
Vocals: 3/5
Performance: 4/5
OVERALL: 7/10

Lisa Tucker
I think this was by far Lisa's worst semi-final performance. She's yet to match her first one. It was very forgettable and blah. It wasnt even that good vocally. Lisa has a chance of being out Thursday night. Just average vocally and performance-wise.
Vocals: 3/5
Performance: 3/5
OVERALL: 6/10

Melissa McGhee
I've never been a Melissa fan, and I'm still not. She went off-key towards the middle and I dont think it was that good of a performance, vocally or performance-wise.
Vocals: 3/5
Performance: 4/5
OVERALL: 7/10

Kinnik Sky
Kinnik....was BAD. Was she on-key at all? I think she was MAYBE on-key for one or two notes, and that's it. If she makes top 12 this season is officially a joke. It wasnt a good performance either. Kinnik has never given a "good" performance, last week was ALRIGHT, and the week before was awful. But this is probably her worst.
Vocals: 1/5
Performance: 1/5
OVERALL: 2/10 (being nice...)

Katharine McPhee
Wow, this was 3480348902802349802349234890902349023490234x better then last week. I actually enjoyed her performance this week. Good vocals and it was fun too! She's just awesome, she needs to make top 12 and make it far.
Vocals: 5/5
Performance: 5/5
OVERALL: 10/10

Ayla Brown
I didnt really like it...and im an Ayla fan. This was her worst semi-final performance. I just hope she steps it up when/if she makes top 12. I think she will though, I think it was just an off week.
Vocals: 4/5
Performance: 4/5
OVERALL: 8/10

Mandisa
I think she has yet to match up to her "Never" performance in Week 1, but this was still good. Again, better then last week. She'll make top 12 and make it fairly far. BUT, it WASNT the best female vocal of the season.
Vocals: 4/5
Performance: 5/5
OVERALL: 9/10

Kellie Pickler
Like her or not, Kellie had one of the best performances of the night. Great song choice and good performance. It wasnt amazing vocally but it was a good performance. THE FIRE IN THE BACKROUND NEEDS TO GO THOUGH....AGGH.
Vocals: 4.5/5
Performance: 5/5
OVERALL: 9.5/10

[Dr. John Becker]

Katherine has this girl-next-door smoldering beautiful babe thing going, plus she can flat out SING!
