Last night's AI

OK, it's that time again.  You get hear my run-down of the American Idol contestants each week.  Here's my views of last night's performances (in order of appearance--BTW, I wrote all my notes before hearing what the judges had to say):

  1. Jackie Tohn--CHEEZY outfit and performance.  Yuck!
  2. Ricky Braddy--nice voice but not much personality
  3. Alexis Grace--Good personality and voice
  4. Brent Keith--I liked his stage presence and think he could be a good country artist
  5. Stevie Write--Cute girl but yikes--really rough start with those low notes, pitch was everywhere!
  6. Anoop Desai--Great voice, still weird to see him singing with that voice
  7. Casey Carlson--Beautiful girl but that was a really bad song choice, she was off key a lot and the winky and "sex kitten" stuff was cheezy
  8. Michael Sarver--I really like this guy; I love his voice and he has a great personality and smile but I would like to hear him sing something more soulful
  9. Ann Marie Boskovich--A lot of off notes, just OK performance
  10. Stephen Fowler--I like his voice but man was that pitchy
  11. Tatiana Del Toro--Good vocals, way better than I thought they would be but I don't want her to make it through.  Either she was a total fake last night or she was a total fake at all the auditions before last night and that bugs me.  I like what the judges said about her song last night--there were good moments and bad moments and it was like being on a roller coaster.
  12. Danny Gokey--OK, he blew everyone else straight out of the water.  Wow, I loved it!  BTW, he reminds me so much of Robert Downey, Jr.!
I wish they wouldn't do the boy-girl thing.  I think the guys this year are by far better than the girls.  I don't think I like the new way they are moving people through.  A lot of my favorite guys from the previous shows were in this one group and only one or two of them will go through?  Sucky.  Here's who I hope goes through to the top 12 from this group:

#1 boy--Danny for sure!
#1 girl (only 'cause I have to pick one)--Alexis Grace
3rd choice--Michael Sarver (this is a tough choice because I also really liked Anoop and Brent)

Dude, I basically agree with all of your comments. I am soooo into AI. I think it's stupid how they do the girl boy thing too. It should just be the BEST 3 people regardless of gender!!!!

I am happy with the 3 that went through in this group, though. I think that Alexis is cute, but I didn't think her rendition of Aretha was THAT good--I think the song was too "big" for her voice, even though she sang it "well."
