@SethT – you thought Hollie was good. I think she’s in the bottom with Baylie.

Lovely…the fact that THIS girl went through and Lauren Grey didn’t showcases what is WRONG with the current judges. Simon would never allowed this to happen.

@KatJ – he creeps you out because he’s a pervert (trying his best to be borderline not to alert the Feds) and have Nigel fire his lecherous comments.

Yeah, Steven has made some strange comments, huh? Maybe he’s trying to recapture a career that most rock fans would agree peaked in 1975 with arguably Aerosmith’s best album, Toys in the Attic!

Late to the party (like really late!) But here’s what I’ve got so far- the girls are stomping on the guys and sweeping them off the floor, and that was just after the first 2-3 singers! Girls year for sure, and I NEVER say that. I’m always partial to the guys.
Chelsea – Sang a Carrie stock song, and I thought for sure she would tank, but I was surprised at how well she did with it! She can’t belt the higher notes like Carrie, but she has better stage presence than when Carrie was on the show.
Ericka – LOVED her! Power rock ballads are definitely her thing! I sorta agree with Jennifer, she probably could have let loose a little more. Still, doesn’t take away from the fact that she out did just about every guy.
Jen – Amazing, as always. Though her voice started to strain a bit towards the end of the song. Still, she’s a shoe in for the finals.
Brielle – Ugh. Hate her, and she started the song off terribly. Plus, the song really isn’t suited for a girl’s voice. And it wasn’t written to be upbeat. Halfway through she found her groove, but it won’t matter. She’s an easy cut.
Hallie – Wow, wasn’t expecting that. She really did well, which says a lot considering Adam Lambert SLAYED that song when he was on. Could make the finals because of that.
Skylar – I have not been a fan of hers, I’m not big on country and she’s too growly for my taste. But she impressed me for the first time tonight, and wow! That last note from her came from nowhere! She may go through, if not for her voice, spunk or stage presence than for the short skirt she wore. Not trying to be shallow, just saying sometimes people vote that way.
Baylie – Tried to do a countrified Jessica Rabbit. And if anyone thought that might be a winning combo, it’s not. Didn’t help that she sang poorly either. Her only positive is that she crazy hot, but honestly so are a lot of the other girls. Another easy cut in my opinion, especially cause the other two female country girls were better.
Hollie – She did okay I guess, but it wasn’t anything special. Forgettable, and she’s probably gone.
Haley – Well this was interesting. I didn’t know hardly anything about Haley, so getting this from her was definitely a surprise. Yes she was off most of the song, and yes she picked a creepy song, but she did something very unexpected. She could be a topic of convo at the water cooler tomorrow. Will that translate into her being voted into the finals? Probably not.
Finally, I would just like to say how ecstatic I am about finding this online group. I love talking about the performances with fellow Idol watchers, but I don’t have many friends who watch. Hope to continue commenting on this thread for future shows!

Welcome Jon C. I was on the other fast blog. Thought I would slow down.

Shannon picked the wrong song. I’m not too fond of her tone either

I’m a big Shannon Magrane fan. She started off rocky, but found her groove and nailed the end! Plus, she did something most other girls didn’t do – she dressed classy! She is a very attractive girl, but instead of showing of leg or cleavage, she dressed conservatively and modestly, which to me is very appealing. I hope she makes it to the top 13.

Jon C, you have been fined $858 for that long post (lol). Don’t mind me, I’ve been joking all evening. Could be the straight shots. Miss Javon, how you feeling? Deirdre, how you feeling (lol)?

Glad I found this blog, too, Jon. Not much of a blogger, but I am an Idol fan, although I won’t typically vote until much later in the competition, when the wheat has been separted from the chaff, so to speak.
Deirdre

She dressed appropriately for her age.

Best so far – Erika, Jen, Hallie
Easy cuts – Brielle, Baylie, Hollie, Haley

Skippy, we try hard to keep it friendly around here even when we don’t all have the same opinion. Plus, you learn from different opinions.
Pitchy, I haven’t been playing the drinking game cuz I’ve been sick and on meds. Next week!
Deirdre

Always happy to see new faces around here!

Jon, some of us have been here since season 3….believe me, you have found a dedicated group!
Lil Red

I liked most of the guys and most of the girls. Only about one or two of each that missed.
Pitchy

@JonC – I agree with your picks, but you left out Skylar in the “best so far” category.
Well, since I’m still typing well, guess my shots haven’t caught up with me just yet.

Thanks, Deirdre. Sorry if I said anything that was offensive. I’m just trying to be funny and clever, but not always succeeding.

My computer is locked-up more than it works tonite? What’s going on ?
My impression so far is that Hollie Cavanaugh and Skylar Laine are going to be in the top 13, whether by vote or Wildcard.
