AMERICAN IDOL 2012: TOP 13 REVIEW

The top 13 has performed for Whitney and Stevie, now I'm gonna comment on their performances. I'd say half of them did a good job, but some picked the wrong songs so... just read.Here we go...

1. Phillip Phillips - "Superstition" - Awesome! Great! Perfect! He's in it to win it, and I agree with Jimmy, the show really needs him. His performances looks so simple but he's really doing a great job delivering them. He's just really great I don't know what else to say.
2. Hollie Cavanagh - "All The Man That I Need" - Perfect! Just Perfect! Hollie Cavanagh is the one! She really did a great job with the performance and she is really likeable, and adorable. She showed us her range again with that performance, and I really just love her. I think we're gonna see her for a longer time, and I think America will really be keeping her because she can really make great records.I love her accent too.
3. Skylar Laine - "Where Do Brokenhearts Go" - first of all, I would like to say that I'm glad that she did this song, because I suggested it; secondly, I think she did a really great job with her performance; Third, she has a really great voice and range; Lastly, she's in it to win it.
4. Heejun Han - "All In Love is Fair" - Another awesome performance from the best comedian on Idol. Vocals were good, song choice wasgood, and stage presence was good. So overall, it was great! I think he's really doing a great job, but next time, I want him to sing something a little upbeat. This guy is gonna stay for a long time in the competition, and I'm sure that he's gonna be safe this week.
5. Jessica Sanchez - "I Will Always Love You" - This girl really held nothing back, and she definitely pulled it off. One of the best performances of the night, and I'm glad that she did this song because it definitely showcased her vocals. Jessica is one of the contestant with the most flexible voices ever, I think she can sing anything, but her voice is kind of common. I just want more confidence, because I think she's a different person when she's not performing.
6. Jeremy Rosado - "Ribbon in the Sky" - I see tears in JLo's eyes again. I think this guy is really doing a great job performing for America because he has a really great performance. I don't know why Randy said that but I think it's really a great performance. Maybe next time, he just has to be more careful about picking his songs.
7. Joshua Ledet - "I Wish" - It was the natural him, and I think he did a great job. America did a good job voting him to the top 13 because he really deserves it. That performance was really energetic and I definitely think that he should do more of this for him to stay longer.
8. Colton Dixon - "Lately" - At first, I thought his performance wouldn't turn out good with that song, and if ever he's gonna pull it off, it's gonna be just average, but I have to say that his performance was really awesome. Coolest version of "Lately" that would really make America vote for him.
9. Jermaine Jones - "Knocks Me Off My Feet" - Great job with the song choice. I'm glad he didn't do an upbeat song because I definitely thik that it would only put him in the bottom. I tink we'll be seeing this guy for a little while with that song, and I just hope America agrees with me because that is Jermaine's best performance ever.
10. Elise Testone - "I'm Your Baby Tonight" - Good vocals, but wrong song. I don't really see Elise doing this kind of song, but I just want to say that she really pulled it off with her vocals, next time, maybe she just has to be careful about picking her song.
11. DeAndre Brackensick - "Master Blaster (Jammin')" - I didn't really get his performance, but I think he did a great job. I'm confused, I don't know what to say. I didn't just get it. I just hope he's gonna do something different the next time because I know he'll make it through.
12. Erika Van Pelt - "I Believe in You and Me" - Just so-so. I'm not really sure about her song choice though. It's wrong, it's right? I don't know, but I believe in this girl, and I believe that she can do better than that. I hope America will give her another chance because I know she can do. I wanna tell her that she should never waste the spot she got because it's gonna be a really big loss.
13. Shannon Magrane - "I Have Nothing" - Big mistake on the song choice. This song was covered by most of the amazing Reality Singing Competition contestants such as Melanie Amaro, and with her performance, she just lost it. I don't know why she did a song this big, but I absolutely think that this song is the kind of song that she shouldn't touch.

BOTTOM 2

GIRL: Erika Van Pelt

GUY: Jermaine Jones

JUDGES WILL ELIMINATE: Jermaine Jones

TOMORROW America's Lucky 13 will become 12. Lauen Alaina will be performing a song, and I think it's "Georgia Peaches."

AMERICAN IDOL 2012: THE ELIMINATION PROCESS FOR THE TOP 13

From the previous seasons, America had regrets about not voting for their favorite contestants, but this year, there has been a little shift with the elimination process.

Before that, let's go back to all the seasons with the most shocking eliminations:

Season 5: Chris Daughtry

Season 8: Danny Gokey

Season 9: Siobhan Magnus

Season 10: Casey Abrams' elimination for the Top 11, and Pia Toscano

For the top 13 results night, the guy and the girl who gets the lowest number of votes will be in the bottom two. Between those two, the judges will be choosing who to eliminate. It seems really fair now. But I hope they will use this elimination process until the Top 5 at least to make it really fair, and to give chances to those who are not judges' favorites.

What do you think about this elimination process? Do you think they should use it for a long time on the show? Comment

AMERICAN IDOL 2011 FINAL PERFORMANCES: REVIEW

This was the best night of American Idol for me. Other than all the performances, I'm happy for Lauren, and I'm glad that she was able to perform on the show, because if she didn't, we won't see "Like My Mother Does". That's the best performance of the night for me. Both of the final songs did get me, and whoever wins it is deserving for me by now.

REVIEW IN RANDOM ORDER:

• Lauren Alaina - "Lie My Mother Does" - I love the song. Lauren really did a good job, she even hugged her mom while she's singing. The performance made me teary-eyed, and I really want Lauren to win now. I love her. I think this performance also changed everything, she won two rounds based on the judges, I hope the voters also see this. I'm gonna play this song always, and it will never be out of my playlist. Lauren Alaina has just proven that she is in it to win it, and she is really going to win it. There were a lot of Lauren haters since Haley was eliminated, but that didn't stop her. She's young, and I think seeing all those harsh comments could hurt her. She cries everytime the judges don't like her performance, but we have to understand that she's young. Anybody on her age, except some, will really feel bad, and some will just keep that to themselves, but they will get hurt. Lauren Alaina is the winner for me.

• Scotty McCreery - "Love You This Big" - it has been a long journey for Scotty. From not finding a group for a long time during the Hollywood week, he's now in the finale. I think all those who rejected him from their group are now regretting what they've done. Scotty is a great singer, and he proved that since he auditioned for the show. This final song also made me want to cry, but I just kept it, and released it on Lauren's performance. There are a lot of Scotty haters out there, but there are more supporters. He's also in it to win it, and for a 17-year-old, the awesomeness of the performances he gave America is enough for him to win.

• Lauren Alaina - "Maybe It Was Memphis" - did she really have a problem with her voice? Why is she so good on all the performances during the night? She did a good job with the song, that made her win this round. I love how she sung the song, and I love the fact that Carrie Underwood chose this song for her.

• Scotty McCreery - "Check Yes or No" - Scotty is everybody's man, he's the man, yeah. He also did an awesome job with his performance, and that gives everyone a hard choice.

• Lauren Alaina - "Flat on the Floor" - I was right, this was one of the top three songs on my list, and I guessed that she will be singing one of those three. This was her first performance of the night, and though there were some parts of the song where she is losing her voice, she still did awesome. SHE'S IN IT TO WIN IT!

• Scotty McCreery - "Gone" - this was 4th on my list, so I wasn't right. I liked this performance better than the first one, and this song is one of my favorite performances by Scotty. He's also in it to win it.

I don't know what will happen tomorrow, but whatever will be America's decision, they're right for voting these two to the finale. Who do you think will win? Please leave a comment.

AMERICAN IDOL 2012: WHO WILL BE JUDGING SEASON 11?

FOX executive confirms that Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler signed a multi-year contract with American Idol and will return in season 11. However, Jennifer Lopez only signed a one-year contract giving her a chance to make a decision whether she wants to renew, or to just focus on her music career.

We also found out that American Idol 2012 will premiere on January 22, 2011 and will be on the same weekly schedule.

If Jennifer Lopez will not return, who will replace her? Will Kara DioGuardi return? Will Shania Twain be finally in the judges' table after the 8th season of Australian Idol was cancelled? Well, we will see about that this 2012.

Will American Idol be better or worse without JLo? Who will replace her if she decides to leave?
