I didn't think it was as bad as Simone said it wasn't my favorite performance of her's but I'm not real crazy for Dolly Parton songs so they really have to do good to get me to really like it

EmoJoe
04-01-2008, 08:08 PM
Brooke - hmm i actually liked this. i didnt like the "band" up there with her though. it would've been much better with just her and the guitar. but i liked it, better then her previous two performances IMO.

Drop dead, Kristina, I'm looking forward to this episode. Me loves the Dolly. On the other hand...will I love the idols' interpretations of her songs? Not so sure.

Whoever does "Here You Come Again" (and I know somebody will) better not screw it up. Or there will be hell to pay. Checks and money orders acceptable.

Ramiele - Do I Ever Cross Your Mind
I really liked it... for once, she has picked a good song for herself I think.

Cactus Jack
04-01-2008, 08:20 PM
Ramiele-It was great! Much better than the last few performances

EmoJoe
04-01-2008, 08:20 PM
David C - pretty good, he actually showed he can SING and not just "rock". a little boring but overall i liked it.

Ramiele - one of her better ones... the band over-powered her but it was decent.

JoPol_wannabe
04-01-2008, 08:21 PM
Remiele wasn't bad not as good as David but not bad

wow :eek: this is the first time in a while that I really like Jason's performance that was good perfect song for him

Krisalicious
04-01-2008, 08:28 PM
Jason - WTF Simon? This was a great song for him and I loved it.

Cactus Jack
04-01-2008, 08:29 PM
Jason-Not too bad

Carly- Fantastic job with that song I love it. That is one of my favorite performance of the night so far

Krisalicious

Carly - EXCELLENT.. Simon is really bothering me tonight..

Krisalicious
04-01-2008, 08:33 PM
On a side note, I know what Syesha is singing and I bet they are gonna put her last!

EmoJoe
04-01-2008, 08:34 PM
Jason - Simon needs to STFU. this was his best performance in WEEKS...i liked how it was a little out of his comfort zone. i thought he did great, and i dont even like him that much.

Carly - again, STFU Simon. that was REALLY good. though my mom didnt like it :grr: but ANYWAY...again, i thought this was a great performance, one of her best.

EmoJoe
04-01-2008, 08:35 PM

Ok what is with Simons tonight he hasn't liked any of the songs yet. I think there doing great I don't know what's going on in his mind but I am actually suprised with tonights show, its going alot better then I expected

DAVID ARCHULETA WAS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. Probably his best performance ever.. YES, even better than Imagine!

Say what you want about it, but I thought Kristy Lee Cook's dress was very pretty.

Krisalicious
04-01-2008, 08:45 PM
Kristy was good. She will probably be safe this week, but seriously she should have been voted off weeks ago. JUST MY OPINION!

EmoJoe
04-01-2008, 08:45 PM
David A - AAAaaaH AMAZING. that was my favorite performance from him yet i think. it was AWESOME. holy CRAP...i loved this.

Kristy - i liked this too and i dont know what Simon's problem is tonight - it was much better then last week (though last week was good). it was sort of boring but vocally it was by far her best yet.

tonight is actually turning out to be pretty good...everyone did well so far. who would've thought?!

*InThisMoment*
04-01-2008, 08:46 PM
THAT'S RIGHT DAVEY. Show them who the God damn BOSS is.

Yes, I think she is a very good singer as well.

Syesha- Not bad that note she held on was great. This wasn't my favorite performance but it was good.

Krisalicious
04-01-2008, 08:52 PM
Syesha - As much as I don't wanna say this, I thought it was incredible. I pretty much knew they would compare it to Whitney, though. But come on. Give the girl some credit... she did well.

*InThisMoment*
04-01-2008, 08:53 PM
I liked Syesha. :grady: Homegurl can SANG. But yeah, you can't top Whitney.

EmoJoe
04-01-2008, 08:53 PM
Syesha - well i knew they were going to tear her apart for the Whitney thing, because you know, Whitney is God and singing anything she ever sung ever is commiting a deadly sin, but i liked this. i liked how she combined the two versions...it was good.

Krisalicious
04-01-2008, 08:59 PM
Michael - His song choices keep getting better. I think this is his best performance yet!

JoPol_wannabe
04-01-2008, 09:00 PM
Michael Johns- Wonderful I never would of thought they would do a Dolly song like that. That was really good. Great singers Idol has this season. I was so worried that they would all stink doing Dolly but they all did great. I am just loving this season of Idol it is my favorite so far.

EmoJoe
04-01-2008, 09:02 PM

HA! And everybody was ready for Dolly week to be a bust! Everybody performed very well tonight, and I enjoyed the show thoroughly. No WTF performances, and definitely no performances where I cringed enough to change the channel.

My comments, in order of my rankings. Everybody did a really good job tonight, so it's hard to rank them...

1. Carly - Like I already alluded to, this is one of my favorite Dolly songs, pretty much one of my favorites period. Carly did a fantastic job, much better than last week, and I absolutely loved that she mellowed down the arrangement and slowed it down a bit. A very, very intimate performance. Great job, Carly!

2. David A. - He excells at ballads, and he earns the praise for it, but his uptempo performances are nowhere near as stand-out as his ballads. But anyway, he did a ballad an unsurprisingly, it was great. It's a very pretty song, with very...I don't know...flowery lyrics. He did an awesome job with it.

3. Syesha - First off, MAJOR, MAJOR props for not going all-out Whitney on us. Absolutely adored the fact that she put the Dolly version in there too. Personally, I think she should have kept it Dolly all the way through, for the simple fact that it probably would have avoided the Whitney comparison. But she's improved phenomenally over the last two weeks, and I think she'll only get even better.

4. Kristy - This is the kind of music that she takes and runs with. This performance was perfect for her and definitely my favorite of all of the ones she's done. She was confident in it, she knew what she was singing, she understood the song. Her facial expressions and emotions were right on. We know she can sing, but her performances lack substance every now and then, but she brought out her A game this week for sure.

5. Brooke - I love the song, and I think she did a good job with it. One of the judges said that they didn't see emotion in her performance, but I felt something there. She was telling Jolene to stop in her tracks, don't take her man! I didn't like all those people on stage though...just looked a little cluttered.

6. Jason - Last week's boring performance was totally made up with this week's. He did a great job, sang a little on the low side, but he was still very much in it. Enjoyable performance, definitely.

7. Michael - Always with the little sexy performances, right? Good job once again. His singing voice has that little Australian hint to it, and it works. The last note was an awesome show-closer.

The rest are pretty much a mixed bag for me. I didn't pay enough attention to David C's performance to really think enough about it. It was good from what I heard, but nothing stood out. Yes for him doing his own "own" arrangement this week, but he's doing something that Chris Daughtry did that annoyed me. He bypasses the theme as much a humanly possible. Ramiele's was a good performance, but ultimately, I think it's her week to go. Just wasn't memorable, for me at least.

1. Michael- My favorite performance of the night. He has really shown what he is capable of.

2. David Cook- Another solid performance from him. I think him and Michael should be in the final two.

3. Jason-I don't know what Simon was listening to, but I thought Jason sounded great. It was the perfect song for him.

4. Brooke- I expected a little more from her. She's been playing it a little too safe lately.

5. Syesha- She sounded beautiful, but I do think she should have kept the Whitney version out of it.

6. Kristy-I actually thought she was pretty good. Maybe she found her niche. I still think she should have gone a few weeks ago.

7. Carly- Decent.

8. Ramiele- Better than she has been.

9. David A.- This guy really needs to prove that he can sing things besides ballads. This is not Ballad Idol.

Jordin sang almost all ballads last year and won.
Which is why I was never a huge fan of hers, either. You can be an amazing singer, absolutely one of the best in the land, but I get bored if every single one of your songs is the same in tempo, style, etc. I like variety, and with a show like AI, I think it's important for the contestants to put it out there that they can sing anything. It isn't just a detriment for David, for me, but also for David Cook and it was for Amanda, too.

Yeah, you're right. He has the fanbase that'll keep him on as long as possible. I always thought of the show as a performance-by-performance thing, though, and I'm always in the mindset of whoever has the worst performance should go. I don't take into account "well...so-and-so was really good last week, so I want them to stay..."

But, to each his own.

Carly did this song, and did it pretty darn well, too. Last night was the first
time I've ever voted for her.
