[...] is the holding spot for tonight’s top 13 performance show for the guys. There is also a live blogging entry. I’ll see if there’s enough traffic to make that worthwhile this year. It may not be. [...]

Yay! I know most will be live blogging and I may give it a try again but last year I found it way too distracting. I like to focus on the singers and much as I don’t like a show when they make it about the judges, the live blogging feels like it’s all about the comments. Neither one seems to care about the singers.

Has the 13th been announced? Like the guys need an advantage.
Pitchy

He should have picked another sing. It doesn’t even show any range he possible may have. Too safe.

This guy singing Freedom SUCKS! Here’s the first elimination. …too easy and so embarrassing.

Taylor Hicks 2.0? I didn’t think….I liked it!
Miss Javon

What? I thought it was cheesy.
Miss Javon
February 28th, 2012
8:20 pm
KatJ…Taylor was cheesy. THIS guy is cheesy = nobody cares. Do you EVEN know what cheese is? He was doing the bow-legged chicken dance, making faces and just g-r-o-s-s.

Miss Javon

Oh HEY Pitchy…this should be interesting to see how the guys work out tonight,..they seemed better than the girls in the auditions. So far though…the guys are not choosing the best songs.

So far, no one is good. I think the “Pod People” have invaded ALL the judges.
Miss Javon

I love this guy but he is searching….started out as Cold Play and ended as Nirvana. Interesting but not perfect. He WILL get better.
KatJ

Miss Javon are you just here tonight to create drama? Or have fun discussing the show and the contestants? We all have different opinions – settle down hun, we just getting started….
Pitchy
February 28th, 2012
8:34 pm
For all you youngins blogging, the reference to Pod People is from the movie, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (LOLOL).

Sorry KatJ if you can’t handle the heat. this site often gets opinionated. If you can’t handle something against yours…Momania is just a click away and you can discuss PB&J vs Ham/Cheese with the other moms. Hon? I always thought I was a bit more mustard than honey…

I agree – haven’t seen anything I would keep on a DVR so far. The Judges have to get excited and try to sell the talent and the show – so far, just cheerleaders, regardless of the score.
Pitchy

8:40 pm
So far, he’s the best.
Miss Javon

Through w/Miss Javon…whatever sugar! I can take the heat
Well aware of opinions, just never attacked personally here on this blog – especially the FIRST NIGHT – because I had a DIFFERENT OPINON. And I don’t intend to attack anyone personally or question their intelligence because I disagree with them. Settle down sugar . Agree Pitchy, I haven’t seen anything exciting yet out of any of these folks…..

Jeramy Rosado is a “likeable” guy. But nothing exceptional that I can hear in his singing; good but so are many others in choirs, praise bands, theatre, etc. Deandre will get more teen fans though.
Pitchy
February 28th, 2012

@Seth T – I concur.
Never can say goodbye wasn’t bad…

Aaron was good – I liked that
Seth T
February 28th, 2012
8:54 pm
I am fairly sure we won’t see Aaron in the top 12. Not a good style of performance for him, he would have been more in his element with a good ballad, not that song.

Here’s a premonition from my child, she says to pay attention to Jessica Sanchez tomorrow. She’s going far. We shall see.

I see the Brandon Frazier reference, but who gives a hoot. This is a singing comp.
Miss Javon

Cawntry boy is weak. Why are these judges pimping? Just not impressed so far. Yeah..he looks good…10 feet taller than Ryan…but not so good vocally.

the top 6 guys will be
phil philipps , heejun , jeremy , colton , deandre and either reed , creighton or eben

Randy is giving props to Chase – but I don’t see him as really a full Country guy, he performed well, but hard for me to tell how the voting audience is going to take him.
Miss Javon
February 28th, 2012
9:02 pm
KatJ…do you have a sweet addiction? First I’m honey…then I’m sugar. But I appreciate the attention. AS for the show…it appeared early on the guys might be better. Are they not as good or are they picking the wrong songs?
Pitchy
February 28th, 2012
9:04 pm
I feel they’re picking the wrong songs. No one has hit it out the park for the first night. Perhaps that’s on purpose.
Miss Javon
February 28th, 2012
9:06 pm
Much better than I expected him to be…this is a great song to begin with and he is delivering. Did NOT expect this. Creighton will be a contender for the distance.
Pitchy
February 28th, 2012
9:07 pm
Creighton and Jeremy has been the only two decent ones right now.
Atlanta Native
February 28th, 2012
9:09 pm
Why do they keep saying everyone has a great voice? On my TV there have been a LOT of pitchy moments and nothing “over the top” as one of the judges just said. Does it sound better, perhaps in person than on TV? Personally the only guy that was exceptional was our own dude from Atlanta. Really entertaining and on key the whole time.

They pretty much said Creighton is gone. BTW I love Chase. He is my choice so far.
Pitchy
February 28th, 2012
9:11 pm
Atlanta Native, that’s why I feel we’re experiencing Invasion of the Body Snatchers when it comes to the judges. They’ve lost their creative minds and their hearing for a good voice. They would never make it on The Voice.
KatJ
February 28th, 2012
9:12 pm
Miss Javon bless your heart! No, I don’t have a sweet addiction (not from around here are ya? recognize sarcasm) I agree, earlier it appeared the guys were gonna be strong, but I haven’t seen any that really stand out yet….I don’t know if it song choices or they just aren’t as good as they seemed to be?
Miss Javon
February 28th, 2012
9:12 pm
Yes Pitchy…wrong songs all around. I’m seeing the positive side of theme night now. Good music is never out of style….it will showcase the real talent and I do aleady have my faves…Colton Dixon to start! Creighton Fraker is looking good as well.
Seth T
February 28th, 2012
9:12 pm
Creighton at least has identified himself as an artist, and did a fair job with the material.
But unless we see something distinuishable from some of the remaining acts, this is going to be just a popularity contest among genres and age groups.

ok phil collins just threw up…..
Pitchy
February 28th, 2012
9:15 pm
He’s butchering a Phil Collins classic (IMO = In My Opinion). What is he going to do for the infamous drum roll part??
Miss Javon
February 28th, 2012
9:17 pm
KatJ…attempt to outwit…fail. Phil Phillips…GREAT rendition of Phil Collins!
Pitchy
February 28th, 2012
9:17 pm
Ok, it was eliminated.
I am done with these judges…they have all lost their minds. What did they discuss in the conference room before this show aired. Do they not think the viewing audience is STDH’s (shaking their damn head’s) tonight?
KatJ
February 28th, 2012
9:18 pm
I wanted to support Phil – the GA guy – but I thought that was awful….
Miss Javon
February 28th, 2012
9:18 pm
Pitchy! You not like? Now nobody does it like Phil but I thought that was an interesting out-take. My bad.
Seth T
February 28th, 2012
9:19 pm
Phil_Phil will be in the top 6/7, either by vote or by Widcard – you can bet on it.
Pitchy
February 28th, 2012
9:20 pm
Now we know he can sing.
Pitchy
February 28th, 2012
9:20 pm
He sounds scared.
Jubie
February 28th, 2012
9:20 pm
Geez, what was Phillip Phillips thinking?
Miss Javon
February 28th, 2012
9:21 pm
He’s good but he is in the WRONG key…off an entire octave. Poor kid…I wanted him to be good.
Pitchy
February 28th, 2012
9:21 pm
He needs more strength in his vocals for this song. It’s lackluster for me.
Miss Javon
February 28th, 2012
9:21 pm
ewww…the more he sings the more off-key….
firemedic116
February 28th, 2012

are the back grounds like as big as the final 10 from last year?
Pitchy
February 28th, 2012

Miss Javon, I have to agree. Yes, wrong key.
Seth T

Eben is this year’s David Archeleta type of entry for the show. He will have a spot in the top 6/7 boys slot as well.

HeeJun best so far.

Miss Javon
February 28th, 2012

@James…ditto…Colton was unique and he didn’t perform a ballad as most everyone else did. A true artist…plays piano, sings, entertains. But Idol is a simple singing competition…anything else is irrelevant to the audience.

Seth T

Heejun is probably the most “popular” of the boys – more YouTube hits, etc. I think it was a decent song choice, which didn’t push him into a skit or voice range he could not handle well.
No doubt top 6/7 of the boys.
Eben fills a paticular “slot” for the show, and I think a Judge will “save” him through a wildcard if neeeded. You have to be either a great singer/performer or a have another purpose/identity/Factor which draws voters or the Judges favor. It’s not all about the skilll of the vocalist – at least not yet.
Pitchy
February 28th, 2012

Am I the only person in America that disagrees with the judges every time. Deandre SUCKS, Joseph SUCKS and the gentle giant SUCKS. The show isn’t what it use to be. Pure talent- Chris Daughtry-Adam Lambert-Carry Underwood. I had to turn the volume down when the gentle giant was singing. TERRIBLE!!!

I don’t disagree. Bet most of America thought it might have been him. Listen now, folk. He won’t make it all the way, but like XFactor felt they let one go, why shouldn’t AI go for the sensationalism as well.
No matter, his life has changed and honestly, that’s all I wanted for the tall guy. Hopefully, his ride will amount to something positive and lucrative for him and his Mama.

Pitchy

10:05 pm
I don’t think the guys were at their best. Most picked safe songs and while they are in their seats watching the young ladies, they will realize how weak they really were. The judges comments are great, to a point, but they will quickly realize the young ladies delivered and will yield more votes.
Time to watch Southland.
Atlanta Native
February 28th, 2012
10:09 pm
Dierde, agree with your choices of who you loved. Except I might switch Aaron with Reed, in terms of voice alone, although Reed certainly has pizzaz. And Seth, you are right on in your comments for the most part. PS. Let’s all get behind our Atlanta dude!!! He at least DOES have talent, stays on key, and has passion behind his voice.
dissappointed

I would, first of all, like to say that everyone has their own musical taste and type of performer they enjoy and get entertainment value from – so I understand.
But I always vote – except I did not see one act that moves me enough to vote for any of them. This will be the first time I skip voting – to me, there is no pzazz to the whole night – some o.k., but not enough to stay around for another drink if I was at their show – nothing worth keeping on DVR.
This show has hung years upoon my face, dissappointment pounding like waves —–
But
, I am happy …. because the girls are on tomorrow night!!!

I have been a loyal Idol fan since the finale of Season 1, and I have to say tonight was SO lackluster and disappointing. The judges are WORTHLESS! Please do your job…and judge someone! Anyone!
Adele’s song ate Eben and spat him back out- Adam picked an overdone Idol song- Deandre sang the WHOLE SONG in falsetto (dude, variety/dynamics please…)- Jeremy was breathy the whole first half- Reed’s song sounded like a good idea on paper (big Casey Abrams fan) but I didn’t dig the performance tonight.
Colton is my personal favorite and actually gave a performance, with passion and dynamics and was different from everyone else. I loved Phillip x2’s version of In the Air Tonight, he totally made it his own, which shows artistry (it should also be noted I’m not a big Phil Collins fan.) Joshua is really good and doesn’t annoy me like Jacob Lusk did. And Jermaine picked a great song for his low voice (though I think Johnny would have had a better shot of making a strong run in this thing.)
The rest were forgettable (although Aaron gave a good stab at it.) I just hope the girls do awesome tomorrow, otherwise Idol will officially be dead.

Oh also! Creighton did a great job with True Colors, and I HATE that song! And I love Heejun, he just didn’t wow me like I wanted him to.

Sure would be nice to have at least one judge who didn’t heap praise on every singer. I heard very little actual critiqueing tonight. Could we have at least one-half of a Simon Cowell who is open and honest?

@Jubie–Of course I’m not kidding. Phil’s version was way better than Phil’s.
I really am serious. I love Phil Phillips’ version. Randy’s criticism was off the mark big time. Phil and Josh are the two best. Adam’s in there. Reed may be in there, but its hard to imagine a dork of his stature winning Idol. Def got talent, though.

Someone thinks Creighton sings well? I hit mute and take a crap break whenever he comes on.

I wish I had done the same when the long curly-haired girl, I mean, guy sang. Awful. I sometimes wonder if the judges are being photoshopped into the audience, because the comments so don’t match what actually just happened on stage.

Oh, yeah–Colton is in the mix at the top. I’m not sure Jermaine is, but I would buy an album of his. Or pirate it, perhaps.

Enough with the over produced flashing lights and dubbed in background music. The show and the talent are popular for the TALENT. Highlight that! Producers have lost sight of the audience and what draws viewers. We like good, quality SINGING. The over-production, such as with the X Factor is killing the quality and value of Idol.

I was really disappointed with the show tonight. I didn’t see anything that really blew me away but there were some ok performances …I voted for Phil Phillips, Colton Dixon and Creighton. Really disappointed in Eben. Heejun was good but just felt kinda disconnected for some reason. Top five for me wiere
Phil, Colton, Creighton, Aaron, and Heejun. Adam can sing but I just don’t like him for some reason. Loved Reed in the earlier rounds but not tonight.

Horribly odd song for eben…that was the cause of his off night. would like to get a chance to hear him sing a song better suited…he’s got a good pure voice. nobody does Adele justice except Adele.

The closest thing they had to an Adele type singer, was Lauren Gray — and they threw her to the dogs.
The next closest thing is Elise Testone – and they haven’t given her near the love and cameo’s some of the other girls have gotten – and she doesn’t have the YouTube/Twitter play that some others are building —
so she is at long-odds —– and will have to actually sing her way through to get anywhere.

Sound mixing sucks…. Can barely hear the contestants… How can America judge?

While we know that more than 5 of the boys must go —-
These 5 are the most likely eliminations, and will most likely not be saved> I thought Eben would be saved if he didn’t make the cut — until I seen that Jermaine will likely be voted-in, or pull that save spot if needed.
Chances of a save if cut??
Adam Brock- No chance
Eben Franckewitz – very low chance
Jeremy Rosado – sorry, no, maybe try next year
Aaron Marcellus – No chance
DeAndre Brackensick – 2nd try, maybe you can try a 3rd time – no save, sorry

okay…philip phillips (sp?)…Dave Matthews was mentioned but what about Lindsey Buckingham…seriously…In the Air Tonight.rh..was in my opinion…Fannnnnnn-tastic…doesn’t get better than a Lindsey/Dave cross…wow…to imagine if they ever really collaborated..would be magical. In the meantime…we can listen to Philip’s rendition of the one and only Mr. Collins and dream of him being joined by Mr. Matthews and Mr. Buckingham…now that would be one hell of a concert!!!!!!!!!!

Everybody stop let’s get behind the Ga boy Phillip Phillips. Think he is very talented and has much potential for growth. Amazing at the Savannah audition.
