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.

Tonight, we find out who gets a spot in the top 4 to fight for a spot in the top 3 and go back to their hometown. Carrie Underwood and Coldplay will also perform tonight.

Bottom 2:

• Hollie Cavanagh
• Skylar Laine

Eliminated:

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.

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.

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.

AMERICAN IDOL 2012: TOP 8 REVIEW

Skylar Laine, best performance of the night; Credits: FOX

The top 8 have taken on the stage, and the show didn't turn out to be boring. It's now time to review each of their performances, starting from the best, to the person who I think didn't do a really great job. Before that, I just noticed people who perform last are really nailing it, Phillip, Colton, Elise, and now Skylar. Now, let's start the review...

SOLOS:

1. Skylar Laine - Wind Beneath My Wings - She was really connected to the song, and I love how she performed it. Okay, a lot of people are saying that she's not gonna win, I have to agree with them, but we all have to admit that she's a great artist. The judges did a great job picking the contestants this year. Skylar really did a good job closing the show, and that's quite a redemption from last week. I love her.
2. Colton Dixon - Time After Time - Great arrangement, it sounded like it's his own, and I saw him connect with the song. I want to see him do a performance like "Pianoi Man" again, though, so I hope he'll pick a slower and soft-rock-ish song next week. One more thing, I'd be surprised if I see him leave for the upcoming weeks.
3. Jessica Sanchez - How Will I Know - I'm glad she did a happy song this week, because I really want to see her have more fun on stage. It was a better version of Jessica than the previous versions of her, because I saw her confidence, and she really did a great, awesome job. I like this Jessica, and I hope I'll see more of her doing performances like this.
4. Elise Testone - I Want To Know What Love Is - I'm starting to love her ever since she started really singing. Her performance was average, but it s enough to put her through the next round. I said average because I know she can do better than that, and with that average performance, she still did a great job performing better than some of the other contestants.
5. Joshua Ledet - If You Don't Know Me By Now - Cool! I had hints that he'll be the one doing the song when I saw the spoiler song list. I wasn't expecting that much from him, because I know he can nail it, he's a great guy, and I know he's gonna make it far in the competition. This is bad, but I still don't think that he can win the competition.
6. DeAndre Brackensick - I Like It - I think he did a great job this week, and he's really being tru to what he can do. I just think that he should start taking risks this time, because five people have been voted off, and you don't want to be the sixth. It's time to step out of you comfort zone and start to show people what other things you are capable of.
7. Hollie Cavanagh - Flashdance... What a Feelin' - Great song, but she didn't deliver it well. She also didn't connect that much to the song, but she still has a great voice, just more connection next time. If she will ever be eliminated this week, I hope the judges save her, and I hope America will give her another chance after that.
8. Phillip Phillips - That's All - I don't think Phillip did a great job this week, and just like what I said the previous weeks, he has to step it up because he just has to. Each performances are just similar, and I want him to do something new.

Joshua and JEssica, best duet of the night; Credits: FOX

GROUPS:

1. Joshua & Jessica - I Knew You Were Waiting For Me - Best duet of the night, I'm glad they decided to pair these two. They did a really awesome performance, and there's nothing more I can say about it.
2. Colton & Skylar - Islands in the Stream - First of all, they were trending on twitter worldwide, and that's because their performance left an impact. They did a great job, and it was almost perfect.
3. Phillip & Elise - Stop Draggin' My Heart Around - They did a great, great job, but they weren't the best. I love their duo, and I love their song, great job!
4. DeAndre & Hollie - I'm So Excited - I like their performance, but I think DeAndre was a little exaggerated when he sang the song, with Hollie, she did a good job, and I saw them have fun, so that's it.

MY THOUGHTS FOR TONIGHT'S SHOW:

Bottom 3: Hollie Cavanagh, DeAndre Brackensick, Joshua Ledet

Eliminated: DeAndre Brackensick

Save? No

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

AMERICAN IDOL 2012: TOP 9 REVIEW

The Top 9 has taken on the stage and most of them satisfied me with their awesome performances. I'll be saying a little not-good things, but they still did good. Here we go.

1. Elise Testone - Whole Lotta Love - Great! Great! Great Performance! This girl is really starting to rise from her tomb in the bottom three, and that started last week. I'm glad that she's getting more fans because she deserves to stay longer. People has to vote for the voice, not for the face, and not for the age.
2. Heejun Han - A Song For You - Finally! Heejun Han! These are the songs you should be singing! The judges gave him a standing ovayion because he really gave it his best, and hopefully, he will bring himself to the top 3. He has a very soft, buttery voice, just like what I say every week, and let's hope that he will stay longer.
3. Phillip Phillips - Still Rainin' - The song was a little bit unfamiliar, but he did a great job. He has a reat style, and the way he performed it was simple, but is still a big hit. Also one of the contestants with the best potentials to win this year.
4. Jessica Sanchez - Sweet Dreams - Didn't feel her that much, her performance was great, it was original, but if she did it a little faster or upbeat, I would've loved it more. Anyways, we all know that she's the one who has the most numbe of fans and potentials to win this year, so I can't say anything against her. She gained more confidence, and I'm glad that she did.
5. Skylar Laine - Gunpowder and Lead - Love that Miranda Lmbert inside her. It's a big song for her, but she still did it. Great job, and these are the songs that she should be singing. She rocked that stage, and she will definitely continue rockin' it out, because America will surely put her through.
6. Joshua Ledet - Without You - He did another great job. He gave justice to the song, the song definitely gave justice to his voice. Great guy.
7. Hollie Cavanagh - Jesus, Take the Wheel - The judges were a little bit hard on her, but I have to agree, she must have picked another song, something bigger, and something that would really show her range. She was a little uncomfortable with the song, based on what I observed. I hope she's gonna pick a better song next time, because I want her to win.
8. Colton Dixon - Everything - Average performance. His erformance last week is hard to follow. It was a little flat, and a little boring, but he still carried on. He has the potentils to win the competition but not with a song like this, so next time, he should pick a better son, and perform it with all that he got on stage.
9. DeAndre Brackensick - Sometimes I Cry - For the past few weeks, he's been boring. I hope he's gonna pick a better song next week, if ever he's gonna survive tomorrow's cut, which I have doubts on.

GROUP PERFORMANCES:

They all did a great job, but the best trio were Colton, Phillip, and Elise.

BOTTOM THREE (Based on How America Vote): DeAndre Brackensick, Joshua Ledet, Skylar Laine

ELIMINATED CONTESTANT: DeAndre, and the judges will not save him.

That's it. What do you think about their performances? Comment.

AMERICAN IDOL 2012: THE TOP 10 WEEK REVIEW

First of all, I apologize for not doing a live blog this week, next week, I'm sure I can do one.

So, the top 10 has taken on the stage with Billy Joel songs, and Tommy Hilfiger fashion. Erika van Pelt was eliminated, and that really shocked me. Heejun Han was in the bottom two, as well as DeAndre, and I was expecting DeAndre toreally go, but he didn't. Now, I'm still gonna review their performances and rank them from the best to good, or the best to worst.

1. Colton Dixon - Piano Man - Really great rendition, I got hooked with his performance that I watched it again and again over the internet. His song choice was also the best of the night, and I have to say that he's really fighting for a spot in the top three. He was with the piano the whole performance and that's what made it really cool, because he still sang it perfectly.
2. Phillip Phillips - Movin' Out - His performance was great, same with Colton's. They both showed what they can really do. He is also one of the contestants who can stand on his own, and he does the things that he wants to do with simplicity and uniqueness.
3. Jessica Sanchez - Everybody Has a Dream - This girl had a dream, and now it'scoming true, all she has to do now is to gain more confidence so that she canmake it to the finale. Her performance was awesome.
4. Hollie Cavanagh - Honesty - At first, I was really scared for her because she picked this song, but when she started singing, she got me. Shes a great singer, and i disagree with all the judges' negative comments. I don't think those comments are for this performance.
5. Elise Testone - Vienna - I'm really glad that she sang another great song, and I'm really glad that she's getting better and better each week. Next time, she should do better so people are still gonna put her through.
6. Erika Van Pelt - New York State of Mind - This girl is not a New Yorker, but she sang it like she's one. She really did great, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of her. Unfortunately, she got eliminated. America is trippin'!
7. Heejun Han - My Life - His performance wasn't that great, but I'm gonna give points because he took the risk. It was a different him, but it would have been better if he showed us that side with a different song. He should do better next week, because Heejun is really one of the best contestants this season. HE IS A STAR!
8. Joshua Ledet - She's Got a Way - I didn't quite get his performance, his performance last week is a really hard thing to follow. I think he didn't get the chance to sing a better song because the theme is too isolated.
9. Skylar Laine - Shameless - For the past three live shows, she was really doing great, that she gets me everytime she performs, what happened this week? I like her, and I want to hear more of her, so next time, I suggest that she should be more careful with her song choice, but I can't blame her because really, this week's theme is just Billy Joel.
10. DeAndre Brackensick - Only the Good Die Young - Not the best way to open a performance. From the previous weeks, this was the worst opening performance of all. It was just boring. I don't know.

RESULTS SHOW

Haley Reinhart - Free - Awesome! She's back, and now she has a single. I loved her performance, and I think she has to record more records.

Lana del Ray - Love her!

AMERICAN IDOL 2012: WHAT TO DO WITH ONE EXTRA WEEK?

What will Idol do now? They are scheduled to air until May 23, but they lack one contestant.

First, I think that if the judges will save a person, there will still be one person eliminated after that week, and not two.

Second, maybe they could add one week for Idol Gives Back if ever they're going to have it this week.

Third, they could ask one of the contestants to come back, either one from the people who got eliminated in the semi-finals, or they'll just choose between Shannon, and Jeremy.

What do you think should they do? Comment.
