Bye, Kristy :wave:
Talk about manhandling a song...what a mess! I can't stand her, so I was overjoyed to see her performance tonight. It was by far the worst of the night, and I would be shocked if someone else left.
Right now, my favorites are Jason and Brooke. Carly was really good, and is very talented as well. Here's the problem with all of these contestants: they're going to suffer from "Melinda Doolitle-itis."
In other words, the critical faves (for me, Jason and Brooke with their folksy-indie vibe) don't stand a chance because, although people like me (27 years old) like the show and certain contestants, we're not "fan" enough to sit around for two hours constantly hitting redial - like the tweens who drool over David Archuleta (who is undoubtedly a talented kid, but not the best of the bunch).
I agree with the statements about Amanda....once Kristy and Syesha go (unless she starts picking better songs), I think she'll be next - she is not good enough to make it past week 3 or 4.
Michael Johns is way better than the songs he picks. David Cook is IMO less talented, but comes off better each week due to song selection. Michael needs to pick songs that not only showcase his talent, but songs that he can "get into" (otherwise he'll keep sounding karaoke).
Anyway, very surprising night.
