X FACTOR PHILIPPINES: TOP 10 REVIEW - WHOSE ROCK HIT US THE HARDEST?

Jeric Medina - Best Performer of the Night

I would like to start this by saying I AM GLAD THAT I HEARD CRITICISMS TONIGHT. Second, Ms. Pilita Corales is so beautiful tongiht! Third, I hope that the voters would vote wisely this time because the Bottom Two last week didn't deserve that spot based on their performances. Now, for the Top 10's performances...

• Jeric Medina - Lips of an Angel - Perfect song choice! Perfect performance! Perfect stage presence! Perfect pitch! Perfect voice! He's the one! His performance was smooth sailing, and I think this is one of his best performances so far. I can't wait for more.
• Daddy's Home - Superstition - The best group on the show. I love that they chose that song, and I love that they all had their shining moments in that performance. They really, really did great tonight, and I'm glad that they're still on the show!
• Modesto Taran - To Love Somebody - Awesome! Age doesn't really matter! Great song choice and great performance! I hope the people will support him until the finals, because I can also see him winning the show. It will be an awesome moment.
• Joan Da - You Oughta Know - I love the Alanis song, and I love the way she performed it. She sounded like a female rockstar. Really great song choice, but she needs to improve her stage presence.
• Gabriel Maturan - Breakeven - Good song. His performance was average, it's his weakest performance, but since Rock is not his genre, great job stepping it up.
• AKA Jams - Survivor - They really did great! You're wrong Charice, that's actually a Rock-ish rap. However, it's kind of obvious that girl groups would sing something like "Survivor" so I have to say that they should've taken something more risky and performed it like pros.
• KZ Tandingan - In The End - Not good. I wanted her to take on a risk, but instead of sticking to the original rock version. That quiet performance was boring, really boring. I am rooting for her, but she didn't really deliver this week.
• Allen Sta. Maria - Bitch - I didn't really like the song choice. I think she didn't shine tonight, and I think that performance is not a ROCK song. I love that the judges criticized the song choice because it's really the wrong song.
• Take Off - Makita Kang Muli - It's down here, not because it's a Filipino song, but because their performance wasn't that great. I was really hoping that Gary V. would give them something more lively, and something that would really urge people to vote for them, but he didn't.
• Kedebon Colim - Footloose - What? I didn't understand a word except for the Kede-Kedebon part of it. Why is he still there? He's not a singer, rather an entertainer. No X Factor at all. Thank you Gary V. for the criticism, I think nobody can criticize this "entertainer" (entertainr only, not a good singer) because they might hurt his fragile mind.

POSSIBLE BOTTOM 2: Take Off, and Kedebon Colim
POSSIBLY GOING HOME: Kedebon Colim - Hopefully!

WHAT TO EXPECT TOMORROW:
Another elimination.

Do you think you'll make the right choice tomorrow? Please do and vote for the ones who are really deserving.

X FACTOR PHILIPPINES: TOP 10 PERFORMANCES

The X factor disappointed me last week, why was Mark Mabasa eliminated?!

Tonight, the X Factor top 10 finalists will be taking on rock songs, or any song that they can turn into rock songs. I hope the judges will give more criticisms tonight, because I feel that contestants need it. Here are their performances:

1. Kedebon Colim (BOYS) - "Footloose" by Kenny Loggins
2. AKA Jams (GROUPS) - "Survivor" by Destiny's Child
3. Modesto Taran (OVER 25's) - "To Love Somebody" by The BeeGees
4. Allen Sta. Maria (GIRLS) - "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks
5. Jeric Medina (BOYS) - "Lips" of an Angel by Hinder
6. Daddy's Home (GROUPS) - "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder
7. Gabriel Maturan (BOYS) - "Breakeven" by The Script
8. Joan Da (OVER 25's) - "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morisette
9. Take Off (GROUPS) - "Makita Kang Muli" by Sugarfree
10. KZ Tandingan (GIRLS) - "In The End" by Linkin' Park

What do you think about their performances? Who do you think should be eliminated?

X FACTOR PHILIPPINES: TOP 11 REVIEW - WHO GAVE US THE MEANING OF "LIFE"

Before anything, I'm not liking the judges tonight because they're afraid to criticize each other's song choices for their contestants, and they're also afraid to criticize the contestants who should be criticized. There, said it! Done!

The top 11 has taken on the stage. Tomorrow, only 10 will live and continue the fight for the 4 million pesos. Once again, it's time to review their performances about songs with "Life" on their title. Who gave life? Who told us about life? Let's begin from the best.

Mark Mabasa - BEST PERFORMER THIS WEEK;
Credits: X Factor PH; ABS-CBN

• Mark Mabasa - Got To Get You Into My Life - He rocked it! One of the best performances of the night! He has a really amaing voice. His versatility will help him make it through to the finale. The song choice is also great because it really showed his voice.
• Take Off - Larger Than Life - And that's what you call LIFE! Their performance is really awesome. The end wasn't really that great with them trying to scream it, but I'll say it again, THEY DID GOOD! THEY HAVE LIFE! THEY HAVE TO MAKE IT THROUGH!
• KZ Tandigan - For Once in my Life - Another relaxing performance which made me stand up in the end because it was really good. She started slow, and with a good transition, her performance turned into something that you can dance into. A very adaptive contestant like her should stay there longer.
• Jeric Medina - Time Of My Life - There were a little flaws, but stage presence, voice quality, and all, he's got the complete package. This guy can win the show, and if he'll win it, he will surely be successful.
• Modesto Taran - Habang May Buhay - He stuck to what he can really do, and that's the good thing about it. It's not a song that's lively, but it's a song about "life." There are still some minor flaws there which he has to fix, but it was still an amazing performance. He deserved that standing O.
• Allen Sta. Maria - Bring me to Life - A bit shaky, but she's one of the contenders who brought the set back to life, and who went with the "LIFE" theme by bringing liveliness in the stage. She didn't cry, and I'm glad she didn't or I'll be annoyed again.
• AKA Jam - This Is My Life - Not satisfied with their performance, but they actually did good. Not that great, but good. They need to work on something more, I can't just pinpoint it now. They need more spark.
• Joan Da - Gusto Ko Lamang Sa Buhay - Big transformation, but I didn't really like her performance. She's better singing English songs. Good style though.
• Gabriel Anciano - One Day in Your Life - I can't believe that none of them said that his song was really boring. If judges from other X Factor franchise would comment on that, he'll be brought down. Your standards are not that high judges. Good voice, boring song, has soul, but no LIFE. That's it!
• Kedebon Colim - I Live My Life For You - Yay! He chose his song and performed it average, with a little shakiness, and with his flat voice. I still don't see why he's still in the show, I hope people will realize what they're doing. The judges have to tell him what's bad when it's bad.

POSSIBLE BOTTOM 2: Joan Da, Kedebon Colim
THE JUDGES WILL ELIMINATE: Kedebon Colim

WHAT TO EXPECT TOMORROW: Kean Cipriano, Xian Lim, and this guy from 6 Cyclemind will be on the show.

X FACTOR PHILIPPINES: FIRST LIVE RESULTS - TOP 11 REVEALED

Credit: pinoyambisyoso.com

Last night, the top 12 taken on songs from the cinemas, tonight, they'll be facing Elimination. I've read comments from other people that the judges may have taken the happy pill last night because they were full smiles, and didn't say anything bad, though some contestants didn't really live up to the public's expectations.

The top 12 performed "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen with Sam Milby. A medley for Mr. Pure Energy, Gary V. was presented by Various Artists.

TOP 11:

• AKA Jams (GROUPS)
• Mark Mabasa (OVER 25's)
• Gabriel Anciano (BOYS)
• Daddy's Home (GROUPS)
• Jeric Medina (BOYS)
• Modesto Taran (OVER 25's)
• Allen Sta. Maria (GIRLS)
• KZ Tandingan (GIRLS)
• Take Off (GROUPS)
• Kedebon Colim (BOYS)
• Joan Da (OVER 25's)

BOTTOM 2:

• Joan Da (OVER 25's) - "Chasing Pavements" by Adele
• Jerrianne Templo (GIRLS) - I'm not quite familiar with it... I'll post it soon.

ELIMINATED: Jerrianne Templo - Her performance last night was good, but not good enough. I really wasn't expecting that she'll be the first one booted off, I still want Kedebon to go home for his not so serious performance. Charice only has 2 acts now.


JUDGES' ELIMINATION VOTES - REASON

• Martin - Jerrianne - says it's now time for her to go home.
• Pilita - Jerrianne - saves Joan because she's in her category.
• Gary - Jerrianne - says he had a hard time deciding, but no clear reason.
• Charice - Joan - sticks with Jerrianne because she's in her category.

Do you agree with the results? What will happen next week? Follow me on Twitter @RenzAlfonso and stay tuned for my weekly suggestions for every contestants.

X FACTOR PHILIPPINES: TOP 12 REVIEW

Tonight's show was the first LIVE show for X factor Philippines, and it is really worth watching because they all did great. The first name you'll read, is of course, the best performer of the night based on my opinion. I'll be ranking them from the best to the not-so-good, the way I did it with Idol. Here you go...

Best Performer of the Night; Image from: facebook.com/xfactorabscbn

• KZ Tandingan - The Show - The song was just relaxing, I don't know why some of the judges didn't like it, but I think it's a really amazing song choice. She has to relax sometimes, and that song is considered relaxing, so what are they saying?
• Allen Jane Sta. Maria - Keep Holdin' On - Amazing performance. She really had me, Charice did a great job. I'll set aside the fact that she's crying because this is the first live show, Ms. Pilita is right, she shouldn't cry because that decreases her confidence points, and it's annoying.
• Mark Mabasa - Kiss from a Rose - I was amazzed once again! With that voice range, he's really gonna make it to the top. I can't wait to hear him sing other songs which will surely be better than this first one. This performance is great, but the following weeks will surely be greater for this guy.
• A.K.A. Jam - Got to be Real - Not my favorite group, but for that performance, they deserve that standing o. Another amazing performance for tonight.
• Jeric Medina - Unchained Melody - A complete X factor Package, the looks, the voice, what are we still looking for? Consistency, he's proven that tonight, but there are more weeks to come, and he should do better than tonight's performance or he'll be booted off.
• Daddy's Home - Till My Heartaches End - Really amazing performance. They are my favorite group in the competition and I'm really hoping that they'll make it far. I hope people will vote for them, because they really deserve to stay. Their performance was really great.
• Gabriel Aciano - It will Rain - Yes, he really improved a lot! Amazing job for Martin! I don't think he'll make it that far, so he should do his best. I'm looking forward to seeing him next week.
• Joan Da - Sunday Morning - She has a really beutiful voice. UNIQUE!. Ms. pilita should've picked a better song for her because that song's a little boring FOR ME! Her performance was still great, but the song choice should've been better.
• Jerrianne Templo - The First Time Ever I Saw your Face - Great voice, really soulful, but the song choice is bad. It's actually a good song, but I didn't see the spark. She didn't shine tonight. I expected something way better than that.
• Modesto Taran - Johnny B. Goode - Aww, his performance was adorable, but I have to agree with Gary, however, he should've stuck to what he really does best, singing slow songs with his big voice. I hope he'll make it further because I'm looking forward to better performances.
• Take Off - Jailhouse Rock - People ill roll their eyes when they read this, but all I can say is this song is better sung solo. THUMBS DOWN! Sorry...
• Kedebon Colim - First Day High - I wanted a serious performance. He's the one who closed the show, and I expected a lot from this guy. I am very annoyed that he even made it to the top 12. The other guys really had it, they have the complete package, but for him, he still needs to prove a lot.

SAFE FOR SURE: Jeric Medina, KZ Tandingan
POSSIBLE BOTTOM 2: Modesto Taran, Joan Da
THE JUDGES WILL ELIMINATE: Modesto Taran
WHAT TO EXPECT TOMORROW: A performance from Sam Milby, and the first Live Elimination!

What do you think of the performances tonight? Who do you think is gonna go home? Comment. Follow me on twitter @RenzAlfonso.

AMERICAN IDOL 2012: TOP 4 REVIEW AND ELIMINATION PREDICTION

We just heard the clash of the contestants with the biggest voices this season on American Idol, well, I'll be ranking their performances from best to the so-so. I'll also make my predictions, and what I have to say to each contestant.

California Dreamin'

1. Joshua Ledet - You Raise Me Up - After waiting for a long time, I finally liked Joshua's performance, he didn't oversing it for me this time, and that's the moment I've been waiting for throughout the season. Great job Joshua!
2. Hollie Cavanagh - Faithfully - I think she did great, it was smooth, her range was awesome. Better than her second song, and hopefully, this will help her make it to the hometown visit, and get a spot in the top 3.
3. Jessica Sanchez - Steal Away - It's an old song, but Jessica still nailed it. She may not have reached the top for this round, but she still stood out. Her great vocals and personality has made her what she is now, and she deserves to be in the top 3.
4. Phillip Phillips - Have You Ever Seen The Rain - He did great, too. It's not a so-so, this is the first time I liked Phillip, but he didn't still make it to the top of my list because I think the others stood out better.

Wishin'

1. Jessica Sanchez - And I Am Telling You... - I knew it! Jessica will never let go of a song like this one before this season ends. She really did great, and it was a great way to close the show!
2. Joshua Ledet - It's a Man's Man's World - He din't oversing it, and I liked it again. Joshua did a great job tonight.
3. Hollie Cavanagh - I Can't Make You Love Me - The judges may not have loved her performance, but for me, it was great. Her voice was just a little rough for this song, but I have to say that she still great.
4. Phillip Phillips - Volcano - His voice was a little dead, but since his performance was smooth, I have nothing else to say.

Overall:

1. Joshua Ledet - I may have been a little hard on Joshua for the past few weeks, but for thsi week, I have to say that he really did great.
2. Jessica Sanchez - It's kind of the first time that she reached the top of my list for the second round of the performance night, and that's a great achievement. I love Jessica, and I hope she'll be safe.
3. Hollie Cavanagh - Awesome! Just awesome! She may have failed to deliver tonight, but her voice, her range, her personality, just really lovable. I hope she will survive tomorrow's elimination, because she is really y favorite for this season.
4. Phillip Phillips - I think this guy still did great though he's in the bottom of my list. He'll surely make it because of his awesomeness, and sexiness. We'll just see.

My Top 3: Hollie Cavanagh, Jessica Sanchez, Phillip Phillips

Possible Top 3: Jessica, Joshua, and Phillip

Who do you think will go home for the tour? We'll see, so stay tuned for a live blog tomorrow!

AMERICAN IDOL 2012: FROM THE TOP 5 TO THE TOP 4 - RESULTS

Time goes by fast, there were 25 contestants who had the chance of living their dream, they were cut to 13, 10 will go on tour, and 3 will be having a hometown visit. Before that, we must find out which of the five contestants left will still have the chance of having that hometown visit.

Bottom 2:

• Hollie Cavanagh

Eliminated:

American Idol 2012 Top 4

• Joshua Ledet
• Phillip Phillips
• Jessica Sanchez
• Hollie Cavanagh

Was America's decision right? Or is this the fourth time in a row that they tripped and didn't vote for the right one?

AMERICAN IDOL 2012: TOP 5 PERFORMANCES REVIEW

The top 5 has taken on the stage with Songs from the 60's and songs by British artists. For me, this performance night is one of the best performance nights ever! They all did good, a great battle between the voices fighting for a spot in the top 4. At this point, we may say anything can happen, but there's nothing wrong about making predictions, and once again, I'll be ranking them from the best to good, and give my comments. Let's begin!

60's Hits:

1. Hollie Cavanagh - River Deep, Mountain High - First and foremost, round 1 goes to her, second, America better put her through to the top 4 because she really proved that she's worthy, and third, that performance is now on the list of her best performances this season. She did a really great job, I'm happy for her, her pitch was perfect, I really hope America puts her through.
2. Skylar Laine - Fortunate Son - Well, that was fun! I love it when Skylar performs like that, going around the stage, shaking, and doing little hops. She did really great, I loved it. Let's all hope that she'll also be safe because based on that performance, this girl's not giving up, well, they're all not giving up, but we just really have to listen.
3. Phillip Phillips - The Letter - Another shoulder-shrugging performance from PP. It wasn't boring, he didn't look like he was struggling, and he did great, but I'm still not sure if that made him 100 percent safe, because he's never been in the bottom 3 before.
4. Jessica Sanchez - Proud Mary - For me, she looked a little bit awkward dancing, and I'll also say that she needs to add a little more energy, and hop a lot more, maybe headbang even harder. Great vocals though, but Jessica's not for upbeat performances because I think she can't dance along.
5. Joshua Ledet - Ain't Too Proud To Beg - For the past weeks, we see the judges overrate this over-singing contestant. His performance was just so-so for me because of the oversinging, I don't know America, I have nothing more to say about this performance.

Brits:

1. Hollie Cavanagh - Bleeding Love - Both performances were great. She sang the song with great emotion, and I hope America saw that. She has to be safe tomorrow, because she is worthy and she proved it.
2. Jessica Sanchez - You Are So Beautiful - This was way better than her first performance. She stuck to what she can do, and I think she's better that way. I may have been suggesting upbeat songs for her, but after that Proud Mary performance, I know that she is better sticking to what she really is. She did great.
3. Skylar Laine - You Don't Have To Say You Love Me - I haven't seen that softness in Skylar, and though a lot of people hated her performance, I think she did really great. Sometimes, I really don't get people, they say they're tired of contestants the same thing every week, but when they do something different, they won't like it... Just listen people!
4. Joshua Ledet - To Love Somebody - He wasn't oversinging it at first, then he started to. It may have been better if he just kept it smooth and soft. I hate it when he oversings because he sounds like a... hahahahaha, sorry.
5. Phillip Phillips - Time of the Season - Average. Mediocore performance. There was no spark. He didn't amke magic happen. His vocals were great, but he should've picked a song which is in his range.

Overall:

1. Hollie Cavanagh
2. Skylar Laine
3. Jessica Sanchez
4. Phillip Phillips
5. Joshua Ledet

BOTTOM 3: Joshua Ledet, Skylar Laine, Jessica Sanchez
ELIMINATED: Joshua Ledet, and a little feeling that it's Skylar Laine.

Who do you think stood out? WHo will be eliminated tomorrow?

AMERICAN IDOL 2012: SUGGESTIONS AND CHALLENGE FOR THE TOP 5

First, I'm not really sure what British-themed music are, but I'm sure they are songs from Birtish artists. This week, I'll be suggesting and challenging again for the top 5. Before I'll suggest, I think the week would've been much better if Elise and Colton were still in the competition, because they'll surely know what songs to sing for this week's theme. Now, let's begin!

Skylar Laine
SUGGESTION: Come Together by The Beatles - I know the song has been covered a lot on Idol, but with Skylar, it's gonna be different. The country twist she can put in it, the headbang, the more upbeat verson,l that's what she can do. The song is known and loved by most Americans, and it might even leave a great impact.
CHALLENGE: With Ur Love by Cher Lloyd - This song is loved and hated, the challenge for her is to make America like the performance she can give with the song.

Joshua Ledet
SUGGESTION: Jumpin' Jack Flash by The Rolling Stones - The song is so for Joshua, and it doesn't sound that boring. He can pull it off, and I think whether he does pull it off or not, America will put him through...
CHALLENGE: It's Not Unusual by Tom Jones - Aw, this is gonna sound karaoke if sang by just anyone. Joshua? We'll really  see what you can do, and it has to be better than "Crazy Little Thing Called Love."

Jessica Sanchez
SUGGESTION: Domino by Jessie J - Another fun song, which I see Jessica singing. She can sing the song, and not make it ballad the way she did with "How Will I Know" where I saw her really have fun on the stage.
CHALLENGE: Valerie by Amy Winehouse - It's gonna be a struggle for Jessica to head bang on the Idol stage, this song might help her or not, because based on her Bohemian Rhapsody performance, we really don't know if she's flexible enough. A great artist can sing anything, and a great artist is not afraid to take on risks, it's time for Jessica to prove that.

Phillip Phillips
SUGGESTION: Breakeven by The Script - They are based in London, that means they are British singers. The song is great, it's not boring, Americans know the song, and no other artists has covered the song and did a great job yet, maybe Phillip can.
CHALLENGE: Under Pressure by David Bowie with Queen - Imagine Phillip singing the song. It will ba hard for him, but that's the challenge here. The song fits his voice, but we have to see him connect with it without struggling.

Hollie Cavanagh
SUGGESTION: Candle in the Wind by Elton John - For me, this is one of the best songs sang by a British artist, and Hollie can definitely sing it. The emotion, and message of the song will help her get through to the next round. She has a lot of things to do to have a perfect performance, but based on the past weeks, she can handle it.
CHALLENGE: Footprints in the Sand by Leona Lewis - One of Leona's best songs. It has a great message. The challenge on the song is how Hollie's gonna connect with it, as well as the way she's going to sing it. If she has to sing it, she doesn't have to do rearrangements because the song's already perfect for her.

That's it! Make sure you stay tuned on the performance night so you can vote for your favorite, and see Carrie Underwood and Coldplay perform on the results night!

AMERICAN IDOL 2012: THE TOUGH TOP 5 REVEALED

Weeks have passed, and we're slowly dwindling down to two. Tonight, only 5 contestants will be left on stage to make their dreams come true. Adding a little entertainment, we have Stefano Langone and Katy Perry perform on the Idol stage, and we have Ryan Seacrest and Kieran to build up the tension as they dim the lights.

America, who did you vote for?

BOTTOM 3

• Elise Testone
• Hollie Cavanagh
• Skylar Laine

ELIMINATED

• Elise Testone

COMMENTS

• The judges are so bias, Joshua's performance didn't deserve a standing ovation, if they didn't do that, I have a feeling that it would be him going home today.

TOP 5

• Jessica Sanchez
• Joshua Ledet
• Phillip Phillips
• Skylar Laine
• Hollie Cavanagh

Did America get it right? Who should've went home if it was your decision?

AMERICAN IDOL 2012: TOP 6 PERFORMANCE REVIEW

The American Idol 2012 top 6 has taken on the stage with Queen songs, and Personal song choices. Who stood out? Here's what I think.

Skylar performing The Show Must Go On; Credits: FOX

QUEEN

1. Skylar Laine - The Show Must Go On - I love the song choice and I love the performance. She really showed it to America that she's not standing in the middle of the pack, because she's really starting to lead now!
2. Hollie Cavanagh - Save Me - Save her, not by pity, but because she really deserves it. That performance was way, way much better than some of the other performances. It's not boring if you watch it again, really.
3. Elise Testone - I Want It All - Another good job brought to us by Elise. America must vote for her. It wasn't her best, but her Queen performance stood out than the others below her in this list. Elise must go on.
4. Phillip Phillips - Fat Bottomed Girls - I know he always do those shoulder shrugs, and weird dances, but he looked like he was struggling with the song, though he sang it great. I don't know, he looked like he was just struggling.
5. Jessica Sanchez - Bohemian Rhapsody - Where's the rock and roll on the song? I'll have to say it's not Bohemian Rhapsody without the runnin', without the hair flying, and without the rockin' facial expressions. Good vocals, but stage presence, thumbs down!
6. Joshua Ledet - Crazy Little Thing Called Love - Okay, the judges are defintely giving him the standing ovation to give him a mark, and make America remember him. That's just unfair, because for me, the song didn't really fit him.

PERSONAL  CHOICES

1. Skylar Laine - Tattoos on this Town - Awesome job! She may have been placed on a elimination-phrone spot, but I have a great feeling that she won't be going home tomorrow because of this memorable performance, as well as the other one. Skylar's a really great artist, and haters will be haters, so don't listen to them.
2. Hollie Cavanagh - The Climb - This girl is really fighting for a spot on the top 5, and that song definitely helped her. She connected with it, because she really has to climb her way to the top, and she showed us her range once again. Hollie did a really great job tonight.
3. Phillip Phillips - The Stone - It's one of the most unusual performances you'll see on Idol. He held on, and he did a good job. I'll have to say it's much better than his first performance.
4. Elise Testone - Bold As Love - America! Don't be deaf! Vote for this girl! Her performances were ones of the performances which stood out not only tonight, but as well as the previous weeks. The song choice was really great, and it fits her.
5. Joshua Ledet - Ready For Love - This was way, way better than the first song. Joshua really did a great job, and these are the songs he should be recording. GO JOSHUA!
6. Jessica Sanchez - Dance With My Father Again - Cool song choice, but I was a little bit bored. he showed great emotion, she connected with the audience a little, and we heard her powerful voice, but for me, it's just a so-so. Jessica can do better than that.

If I'll rank them combining both performances, it'll be...

1. Skylar Laine
2. Hollie Cavanagh
3. Elise Testone
4. Phillip Phillips
5. Joshua Ledet
6. Jessica Sanchez

BOTTOM 3: Jessica Sanchez, Elise Testone, Hollie Cavangh
ELIMINATED: Elise Testone, because the judges are so bias about giving comments.

What do you think about their performances? Who's going home tomorrow? Comment.

AMERICAN IDOL 2012: TOP 6 SUGGESTION AND CHALLENGE SONGS FOR 'QUEEN' WEEK

The Top 6; CREDITS: americanidol.com

Last week was the most shocking week because one of the best contestants has left us, it's even more shocking than Jessica's supposed to be departure, but we all have to move on and let the judges be more bias so that the best contestants will leave first. This week, the top 6 will be singing songs by Queen and another random song choice, and my job today is to suggest and challenge (Only for Queen, btu I may do a suggestion for the random songs too, soon). Let's start!

Elise Testone
SUGGETION: Innuendo - This song is just so Elise. It has that growly thing going on and that's just Elise. he has to work really hard if she doesn't want to be in the bottom three again. he;s a great artist but I think she should always step it up every time she performs.
CHALLENGE: I Want It All - Another rock/growly song for Elise. It's a hard song to cover, but it can help Elise escape the bottom three, only if she can send the message to America. She wants it all, the title, the fame, and the votes.

Joshua Ledet
SUGGETION: Another One Bites the Dust - Joshua can really funk it up with this song, I really don't know which song I should suggest to him, and when i listened to this, I remembered Joshua. He can sing the song, and it's perfect for him.
CHALLENGE: Too Much Love Will Kill You - This is actually an easy challenge because it's perfect for Joshua's voice, what's a challenge about it is the delivery and the connection with the song. We'll see how he's gonna work with it if he sings this song.

Skylar Laine
SUGGETION: We Will Rock You - This is the best song for her, and I think she's gonna nail it. I can't say anything more.
CHALLENGE: One Vision - I love this song, I think Skylar Laine can rock this out. Now, why did I make it a challenge? It's a song about religion, and singing songs about religion is hard, but on the bright side, it's about unity, she can definitely work this one out.

Jessica Sanchez
SUGGETION: Don't Stop Me Now - I wanna see Jessica have fun again, and this is a song which talks about having a good time, and at the same time, not stopping to live the life you want to live. She can send a message to the viewers that she's gonna fight until the end.
CHALLENGE: Under Pressure - It's a song usually covered by guys, and that's the challenge, twist it, and make it perfect. We'll see what Jessica can really do.

Phillip Phillips:
SUGGETION: Killer Queen - It's a fun song, and though I know he's gonna use his style again with the song, it's not going to be boring because of the vibe of the song. It's just perfect for him, all he needs is more good storytelling with rhythm.
CHALLENGE: Body Language - This song will steal a lot of votes for sure if Phillip can sing it perfectly. It's the type of song song outside his boundaries, and he has to show sexiness for plus points.

Hollie Cavanagh
SUGGETION: I Want To Break Free - The only problem with the song is that it can sound karaoke if it's not sung perfectly, but I know Hollie can pull it off, she just needs to practice a little bit of this and that, and she's good, no, great!
CHALLENGE: Bohemian Rhapsody - It's one of Queen's biggest songs, Hollie can sing it, but it would be hard for her because she has to do a lot of practice, and she has to work with pitch control if she wants to stay on track. It's a hard song, but it can be Hollie's redemption.

There you have it! What do you think should they sing?

AMERICAN IDOL 2012: REAL REVEAL OF THE TOP 6

The contestants did a really great job last night putting up a performance show like that, however, the judges were so bias that they liked Joshua and Phillip's performance though they didn't really do a great job. Tonight, only one will leave - unlike other previous seasons where after the save has been used, two people will be leaving - why one? It's because they have to make up with eliminating two contestants last top 12, yes, I'm talking about Jermain Jones and Shannon Magrane.

BOTTOM 3:

• Hollie Cavanagh
• Elise Testone
• Colton Dixon

ELIMINATED:

• Colton Dixon

TOP 6 CONTESTANTS

• Joshua Ledet
• Skylar Laine
• Jessica Sanchez
• Phillip Phillips
• Elise Testone
• Hollie Cavanagh

What do you think about the results? Did America vote for the right top 6? Comment

AMERICAN IDOL 2012: TOP 7 ROUND 2 SUGGESTIONS AND CHALLNGE

The top 7.

The save has been used on Jessica which makes this week much harder for the contestants. Well, there's a possibility that only one contestant will be leaving on Thursday because of Jermaine Jones' disqualification. ANyways, the theme for the second round of the top 7 will be "Songs from Now and Then" we'll still be hearing some current songs, and we're going back in time once again as they take a "Soul" song from the previous decades. Now, I'll be posting my suggestions and challenge, so let's start.

SONGS FROM NOW:
Jessica Sanchez
SUGGESTION: We Found Love by Rihanna - This was a challenge last week, but since Jessica is a great singer, I know that she can take on this song, so it's not much of a challenge for her.
CHALLENGE: Survivor by Destiny's Child - It's a really hard song to sing, and I haven't really seen Jessica dance (real dance), on the stage, so maybe this song can make her dance, and show her range, and make America regret what they did last week.

Joshua Ledet
SUGGESTION: If I Ain't Got You by Alicia Keys - I don't know why I suggested this song, but after I saw those guys perform this on the voice, I remembered Joshua, and I think I want him to sing the song because he has the range.
CHALLENGE: Apologize by Timbaland and One Republic - First, we'll see his technique of how he's going to take on a song which is outside the boundaries of his artistry, and second, we'll see how he can manage to make America vote for him again.

Hollie Cavanagh
SUGGESTION: The Climb by Miley Cyrus - It's perfect for her stand in the competition right now, she was in the bottom three twice, but last week, she climbed from the bottom three to being safe, and this time, she has to climb even higher so she can be safe once again.
CHALLENGE: Complicated by Avril Lavigne - It fits Hollie's voice, and that's the only advantage for this challenge, the other things she should do is to make it her own, rock it out, make the judges love her again, and make America vote for her.

Colton Dixon
SUGGESTION: We are Young by Fun ft. Janelle Monae - I think this is one of the songs where I'll really hear Colton sing. That's what I said last week, and I still think he should sing this song.
CHALLENGE: Home by Chris Daughtry - It's a song by a previous Idol contestant, and that's the just the challenge. We heard him sing different songs, but what about going back to the original?

Skylar Laine
SUGGESTION: Flat on the Floor by Carrie Underwood - I saw Lauren take on this song last season, and she nailed it, with Skylar, I think it would be extra amazing because she can really rock it out.
CHALLENGE: Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson - This is one of Kelly's greatest songs, and she's gonna be compared to her if she performs this song. I know this girl can do anything, but this is a song which is out of her boundaries, but not out of her range, so I consider it a challenge.

Phillip Phillips
SUGGESTION: Viva La Vida by Coldplay - He sounds like a guy who can sing Coldplay, so he should sing one Coldplay song, and I hope it's not gonna be boring again.
CHALLENGE: Hey There Delilah by Plain White T's - The song will be easy for Phillip, however, connecting with it would be hard, and he also has to show people a different vibe while he's performing on stage because he is boring.

Elise Testone
SUGGESTION: Black Horse and the Cherry Tree by KT Tunstall - I love this song, and I know Elise can nail it. It's perfect for her voice, and it's gonna show a more fun side of her. America also knows the song, and that's the deal here.
CHALLENGE: Disturbia by Rihanna - THis song is really hard to sing, but with it, Elise can take all the Rihanna fans, especially if she can nail it, and make it her own.

SONGS FROM THEN (SUGGESTIONS ONLY)
Jessica Sanchez - Dancing in the Street by Martha and the Vandellas - Just like what I said earlier, I wanna see Jessica dance. This song can also showcase her voice, and show how extra talented she is.

Joshua Ledet - Purple Rain by Prince - I'm not really sure if it's a soul song, but since it's  gospel, I think it can be counted. The sensitive side of Joshua is what I like about him, and not the "Runaway Baby" Joshua, that's all of it, because I think he can handle the song well.

Hollie Cavanagh - Proud Mary by Ike and Tina Turner - Yup, it's a soul song when Tina Turner covered the song. This song can definitely redeem Hollie Cavanagh, only if she can really rock it out on the stage and show that she can have fun.

Colton Dixon - My Girl by The Temptations - I've heard a lot of artists who sound like Colton Dixon cover the song, and I think it would be perfect for him. That's what I've been saying all along.

Skylar Laine - River Deep, Mountain High by Ike and Tina Turner - I missed her performance level when she performed "Stay with me" so let's try to bring that back. River Deep, Mountain High can definitely save her, and all of us really wants to see the headbangin' Skyalr Laine, so I really hope she's going to perform this song.

Phillip Phillips - I Heard It Through the Grapevine by Marvin Gaye - This psychadelic soul song may have eliminated Casey last season, but for Phillips, I have a big feeling that he can nail it, and I think he can show a different side which is not boring.

Elise Testone - Earth Song by Michael Jackson - The elements of blues, gospel and opera will really make America vote for Elise if she sings this song. I think it's one of the songs that should be covered this season for someone to make a moment.

What do you think should they sing? Comment.

AMERICAN IDOL 2012: TOP 7 - THE SHOCKING RESULTS AND THE BIG SAVE

The Bottom 3; CREDITS: americanidol.com

The top 7 has taken on the stage last night with songs from this decade, and it was really boring. Now, one of them must go home for us to find out who the top 6 are, only if the judges doesn't use the save.

Jennifer Hudson and James Durbin will also be performing for us on the show, to add a little entertainment to the boring but full-of-suspense American Idol results show.

The top 7 were separated in two groups, leaving one to choose which group he/she belongs to complete the top 4 or the bottom 4.


GROUP "ONE" - BOTTOM 3 - The judges might be using the SAVE.

• Jessica Sanchez
• Elise Testone
• Joshua Ledet

GROUP "TWO" - SAFE

• Hollie Cavanagh
• Phillip Phillips
• Colton Dixon

Skyalr Laine was sent to safety along with the other three safe people..

LOWEST VOTE GETTER:

• Jessica Sanchez

SAVED? Yes... The judges saved Jessica Sanchez, because they know she can win it.

TOP 7 (redux):

• Hollie Cavanagh
• Phillip Phillips
• Colton Dixon
• Skylar Laine
• Elise Testone
• Joshua Ledet
• Jessica Sanchez

The top 7 are still complete, and they better be ready for another challenging week because it's getting harder, and harder to convince America. Joshua and Elise are in danger next week, that's what I think.

What are your thoughts about tonight's show? Comment.

AMERICAN IDOL 2012: TOP 7 PERFORMANCE REVIEW

She did it again! ; CREDITS: FOX

The top 7 has taken on the stage and I wasn't expecting that it would be a little boring. I know I was excited and all last week, but when I watched it, I was really disappointed. Anyway, Hollie is on the edge, and let's hope the judges will save her, but Phillip will always be safe and so, I don't have to comment on that, I'll just start ranking them now!

1.  Elise Testone - "You and I" by Lady Gaga - Guess who I just heard there... Adele and Lady Gaga at the same time. I loved the song choice, I loved the performance, America should vote for her, if she will be voted off tomorrow, the judges should save her! GO ELISE! he really rocked that performance!!!
2. Jessica Sanchez - "Stuttering" by Jazmine Sullivan - I think she really did a great job. I'm starting to appreciate her voice even more. he';s a great girl and she's gonna make it further in the competition. he has good control, and she doesn't push too much. I love that.
3. Holle Cavanagh - "Perfect" by Pink - The judges want her off the show. he did a great job performing, but the way they criticized her, it's like she didn't do a good job. I don't know, but America, you better vote for this girl because she deserves to be in the finale, and to the judges, YOU ARE ALL WRONG! Your minds are overworking that they malfunctioned when it's her turn to perform.
4. Skylar Laine - "Didn't Know How Much I Loved You" by Kellie Pickler - Her performance was awesome, but didn't make her stand out for the night. he might be in a little danger with that performance, though she really did good, and though she's one of the best singers this year.
5. Phillip Phillips - "Give a Little More" by Maroon 5 - Great Job! But it's still boring. He has a unique voice, and he should start exploring what it really can do, because all your performances are just the same week by week. Think America!
6. Colton Dixon - "Love The Way You Lie" by Rihanna - I know everyone will disagree, but that's not a good performance. It's his worst performance so far.I'll just give him another chance by saying that he just pickjed the wrong song, but he should do better next time, vocally, and he should start picking the right songs from now on.
7. Joshua Ledet - "Runaway Baby" by Bruno Mars - Overdid it to the level that he didn't sound like it's his best. He's not relaxed, and he's pushing himself too hard. He oversung the song, and I really didn't like any of it, YES, even the song choice.

GROUPS:

1. Elise and Phillip - It was perfect.
2. Colton and Skylar - It was great.
3. Joshua, Hollie, and Jessica - I'm sorry, but I think Joshua ruined it.

As you can all see, the girls did better this week, and I hope all the girls out there in America are gonna vote wisely, and think about what they are really doing to the other contestants.

BOTTOM 3: Hollie Cavanagh, Elise Testone/Skylar Laine, Joshua Ledet

ELIMINATED: Joshua Ledet

SAVE? If it's Joshua, it's 50/50, but most likely, no.

What do you think about their performances? Who should be eliminated?

AMERICAN IDOL 2012: TOP 7 SUGGESTIONS AND CHALLENGES

American Idol 2012 Top 7; Credits: americanidol.com; Edited by: Renz Alfonso

From the previous weeks, I wasn't really much familiar to the songs they were taking on, but this week, I'm so glad that they decided to let the contestants sing songs from this decade, which means, we'll be hearing current songs, and not the oldies. Now, I'll give one suggestion song and one challenge song per contestant this week, with all the enthusiasm in the world, because I think this is one of the best themes ever! And I hope the show will be successful... How? By picking the right songs.

Elise Testone
SUGGESTION: The Edge of Glory by Lady Gaga - I know, I know, this song was already sang by Erika Van Pelt for the wildcard rounds, but there's nothing wrong with repeating a song. I think the song fits her voice, and I think she can connect with it because she is really on the edge now, and she has to take America with her so that they'll vote for her.
CHALLENGE: Take Care by Drake ft. Rihanna - It's a current song, and people are gonna be comparing, but with Elise's voice, the song is just right. It's a new song, and it's gonna make people vote for her, especially if she can really do a great job performing and connecting with the song.

Jessica Sanchez
SUGGESTION: Impossible by Shontelle - I know it's a slow song, but I know she's gonna be great with it. The song has something in it that would definitely make Jessica take America. It's gonna show her range, and it's also gonna show us that this girl can really sing anything, and she can do anything. The song is just perfect for her voice.
CHALLENGE: We Found Love by Rihanna - This is the first song that went on my mind whenever I hear challenge . I think Jessica can sing it, and she can have fun, however, she needs all the effort to interpret the song on stage, like she found love on the competition, because she loves what she is doing.

Colton Dixon
SUGGESTION: We Are Young by Fun ft. Janelle Monae - I think this is one of the songs where I'll really hear Colton sing. With the lyrics, and the melody, he's gonna make everyone sing with him. It's a hard song, but I know he can still nail it. That's all I can say about the song.
CHALLENGE: Rolling in the Deep by Adele - I've been hearing a lot of male covers on this song, and this guy is one of those people who has the voice to sing this song. I challenge him to take on this so that he can show everyone that he's not only isolated in one genre, but he can also do a song which is out of his line.

Phillip Phillips
SUGGESTION: Dynamite by Taio Cruz - Yes, this is definitely a suggestion for Phillip Phillips, Jr. Why? He has to start stepping it up, and quit doing the same recycled material every week. I said this before, and I'm going to say it again, he is one of the people who has winning potentials but with what he's doing from week to week, that is starting to fade. We don't want America saying "He only won because they lovew his face." in the future.
CHALLENGE: Any song by Bruno Mars - Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna give this guy a hard time because I want him to really convince everyone. I've seen posts, and comments that says Phillip is always doing the same thing everyweek, and so, with songs by Bruno Mars, he can do something different.

Joshua Ledet
SUGGESTION: Without You by David Guetta ft. Usher - We're all gonna love it! That's what I know! I think he has the voice, and I think he's gonna do another outstanding performance if he's going to sing this song. He's one of the people who's in danger if they won't do a good job this week, so, Joshua, sing this song!
CHALLENGE: Forget You by Cee Lo Green - It's gonna sound karaoke if you sing it, and that is the challenge for Joshua Ledet, interpret this song, and make it your own.

Hollie Cavanagh
SUGGESTION: Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift ft. The Civil Wars - It's a new song, and that would be great for Hollie. It's soft, but it will show her range, and I think she's gonna do agreat job with it because she'll be able to relax with the song. I think she deserves to stay longer in the competiion, too, and America has to see and hear that.
CHALLENGE: Empire State of Mind (Part II) Broken Down by Alicia Keys - It's a song which is hard to interpret if you never lived in New York, and I am challenging Hollie to take on this song because I know it would be a redemption for her. At first, I thought that it's gonna be all over the place if she sings this, but after being in the bottom thre twice, I think Hollie has her own way of changing her stand in the competition.

Skylar Laine
SUGGESTION: If I Die Young by The Band Perry - Lauren Alaina sang this last week, and she did a really great job. She has a voice similar to Lauren Alaina, and maybe doing this song would also be an advanatage for her because it is country.
CHALLENGE: Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) by Kelly Clarkson - We are going to love it if she's gonna perform this song. As we all observed, she can sing anything. This is a challenge song because it was recorded by Kelly Clarkson, and people, maybe even the judges, are gonna compare their performances, whether it was better, equal, or a complete murder.

It's gonna be a hard week, because the songs are current. They have to nail it, and make America vote for them.
What do you think should the top 7 sing? Comment.
