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 8 STUDIO RECORDINGS REVIEW

American Idol Top 8 - Season 11
Compilation Album
Since I'm not posting that much in this blog, I decided that I'll also start reviewing the studio recordings of each contestant every week, and I'm gonna start with the top 8. As you all know, the studio versions of their songs are different from their live performances and so, you are gonna see a different ranking in this post. Here we go...

  1. Skylar Laine - Wind Beneath My Wings - Nobody can beat her this week, that's my opinion. She did a really great job delivering her performance, and with this recording, she had me again, and I think it's not only me that she got. I hope we're gonna hear more of her studio recordings.
  2. Colton Dixon - Time After Time - It sounded like his performance, same arrangement, same range, and I still loved it. However, I still see him doing soft rock, or rock songs, and with that, I hope he picks a better song next week.
  3. Hollie Cavanagh - Flashdance... What a Feelin' - Despite of that performance, she had a great studio recording. I think her performance last Wednesday night was good, but this version is way, way much better. One thing I have to tell Hollie, she should start taking on bigger songs that shows us why she is deserving to stay in the competition.
  4. Elise Testone - I Want To Know What Love Is - I loved it. It's a song which was gonna sound karaoke when you sing it, but for her, it seemed so natural, it didn't sound karaoke at all. I hope people are gonna start voting for the voice, and not for the face so that she can stay longer in the competition.
  5. Jessica Sanchez - How Will I Know - Her recording was just a so-so for me, I loved her performance more, because I saw her have fun.
  6. DeAndre Brackensick - I Like It - Just like all his previous songs, I always like the studio versions better. I don't know, but this performance was great, and he wasn't on the top because I still think that the others are better than him.
  7. Joshua Ledet - If You Don't Know Me By Now - I don't want to say anything against this song, but his performance was better. The studio recording was just so-so, but I still like his voice.
  8. Phillip Phillips - That's All - I don't know what I didn't like about it, but it sounded like his first performance from way back. That's All.

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 11 REVIEW


The top 12 performed last Wednesday and now here's y review because I wasn't able to post anything that day because of schoolwork. Here we go.

  1. Joshua Ledet - When a Man Loves a Woman - Best performance of the night! I can't believe he was in the bottom three last week, but I'm glad that he won't be there this time. He did a really awesome job, I even went closer to the television because I was enjoying it too much, and like JLo, I can't stop saying WOW!
  2. Hollie Cavanagh - The Power of Love - They saved the bests for last. She did it again, the way she won my heart - or our hearts - last week. I'm glad that she chose this song, because once again, it showed her range, and it wasn't as boring as any of the other performances of the night. Good Job Hollie!
  3. Colton Dixon - Broken Heart - The song is not known, but he still did it. I listened to the original song, and his version was better. This guy is going really far in the competition. That's all.
  4. Skylar Laine - Love Sneakin' on You - This girl can sing anything, just like I said for how many times now. I didn't like the song choice because I wanted her to do something which is more known, ut still I like her voice, and it fits almost any song she sings.
  5. Elise Testone - Let's Stay Together - Awesome performance! I didn't like the song choice, but it really showed her voice, so I'll just let the song choice go. Great redemption from her performance last week.
  6. Shannon Magrane - One Sweet Day - Awesome redemption from her performance last week, it;s a big song, but she still hit it. Comparing to her performance last week, this is way, way, way, way better. Let's just hope that she's not in the bottom three because you know how America votes.
  7. Phillip Phillips - Hard to Handle - I really enjoyed his performance, however, wrong song choice again. I don't know why he chose this song, and I don't get the way he performed it. He has a great voice, and that's all I have to say.
  8. Jessica Sanchez - Turn the Beat Around - I have to agree with the judges that it's the wrong song choice for her. I'll just say she has a really great voice, and I know she'll make it through. It's just not the right song for her. She could have picked a Michael Jackson, or a Mariah song.
  9. Erika Van Pelt - Heaven - I don't know why she chose this song, she could've chosen something rock just like what everybody's expecting her to do. I love her voice, but she should pick songs which could really showcase that.
  10. DeAndre Brackensick - Endless Love - His performance was a little boring, I don't know why. I liked his version of Master Blaster better, especially its studio version. I hope he starts doing more exciting ongs because that's what America wants, a song which will make them stand from their seat because of excitement, and goosies.
  11. Heejun Han - Right Here Waiting - The most horrible song choice of the night. I like Heejun's voice but he really need to start thinking about his song choice. He should be wiser, because if he's gonna keep picking the wrong song choices, he's surely going home. Randy saying that he's in trouble just made his fans double the effort of voting for him, but I think he really deserves another chance. He's my favorite, but I'm just disappointed with the song choice.

What do you think about their performances? Comment.

AMERICAN IDOL 2012: WHAT THE TOP 12 SHOULD SING FOR "SONGS FROM THE YEAR THEY WERE BORN" WEEK


This week, the American Idol 2012 top 12 will be taking on songs from the year they were born, before I suggest, here are their birthdays:

  • Colton Dixon – October 19, 1991
  • Deandre Brackensick – October 21, 1994
  • Elise Testone – July 29, 1983
  • Erika Van Pelt – December 12, 1985
  • Heejun Han – April 20, 1989
  • Hollie Cavanagh – July 5, 1993
  • Jermaine Jones – November 3, 1986
  • Jessica Sanchez – August 4, 1995
  • Joshua Ledet – April 9, 1992
  • Phillip Phillips – September 20, 1990
  • Shannon Magrane – October 21, 1995
  • Skylar Laine – February 1, 1994

Now, I'll suggest songs from the oldest to the youngest contestant. Here we go...

1983
Elise Testone - "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler
I'm not really sure what to suggest to her, I found only a few good songs which really fits her voice from this year, and "Total Eclipse of the Heart" is the best among those songs. I think she will really put a good twist into the song with her voie, and I definitely think that she has bigger chances of making it to the Top 11 if she will do a song like this.

1985
Erika Van Pelt - "Freeway of Love" by Aretha Franklin
I was thinking "We Built This City" at first, but if EVP would sing that song, it would only sound karaoke, so I suggest that she takes on this song. The song would definitely showcase the rockstar in her, and hopefully, with this song, she will not end up in the bottom three because I think that it would be memorable.

1986
Jermaine Jones - "My Hometown" by Bruce Springsteen
If he wants to stay in the competition, I think he should put a twist to a song just like this one. It's a rock song, and it's gonna be hard for him, but if he sings it like it's his own, I'm sure that it would definitely sound good.

1989
Heejun Han - "If You Don't Know Me By Now" by Simply Red
Heejun has a really soulful, soft, buttery voice, and that voice deserves a song just like this one which was covered by Simply Red on his birth year. This is the song that best fits him, or maybe if he wants to do omething upbeat, he can definitely put a twist to Paula Abdul's song "Straight Up" the way Andrew Garcia did two years ago. We'll just see.


1990
Phillip Phillips - "Praying for Time" by George Michael
This is more of a challenge than a suggestion. I have to say that when I heard his studio version of "Superstition" last week, it didn't gave me the excitement which he given me when he performed on the Idol stage, so this week, I just want him to do this song, and we'll see if he could really connect with any song. I'd say he is a great singer, but there's just no connection.

1991
Colton Dixon - "Black or White" by Michael Jackson
It's the best song for one of the best singers in the competition. This guy can definitely do another twist to this song the way he did with his song last week. "Black or White" was rocked out by Adam Lambert on season 8, let's see if he can do better, if ever he's gonna take on this song.

1992
Joshua Ledet
"Don't Let The Sun Go Down on Me" by Elton John or "End of the Road" by Boyz II Men
He will definitely take America with him if he does one of those two songs. There were many great music in 1992, but these songs would really showcase Joshua's voice and save him from being in the bottom 3. Well, it was actually bottom 6 last time, but who knows?

1993
Hollie Cavanagh - "Hero" or "Dreamlover" by Mariah Carey
"Hero" has been covered many times on Idol, and if this girl sings it, she has to do her best to make her version the best among all the Idol contestants who covered the song. Maybe, if she wants to do something that would really show people that she an do anything, she should just do "Dreamlover" and own it.

1994
Skylar Laine - "Independence Day" by Martina MacBride or "Piece of My Heart" by Faith Hill
The girl was forced to come out of her roots last week, so this week, let's give her a chance to sing something country. For a slow song, she could take on "Independence Day" because it is one of the best songs ever written, and I definitely think it's for her voice, or if she wants to bring that rockstar with her on stage, she could do "Piece of my Heart." She can do anything, and I think she's one of the best singers this year.

DeAndre Brackensick - "On Bended Knee" by Boyz II Men
DeAndre has a great voice, and that voice deserves a song like this one. That's all.

1995
Jessica Sanchez - "Earth Song" by Michael Jackson
This girl has a big voice, and everyone is saying that she should win. Well, I said that she can sing anything, and she proved that to us for the past weeks. This week, I want her to sing this song because I want her to be inspired and be more confident. Well, she is confident performing, but after that, she will act like she didn't know that she did good. Just confidence.

Shannon Magrane - "One of Us" by Joan Osborne
This girl can sing, and I think she can rock it out this week with "One of Us." It talks about God, and I just see her singing something inspirational, she should also take on softer songs because it really shows us what kind of artist she is.

WHAT'S UP THIS WEEK?
Daughtry will be performing, the top 12 will become top 11, and the Judges' Save may be used from this week until the top 5.

WHAT DO YOU THINK SHOULD THEY SING? Comment.

AMERICAN IDOL 2012: TOP 13 GUYS REVIEW


You all know how the drill goes, I'll be ranking them from 1 to 13, and comment on their performances. Everything I say here is my opinion, we all have to let it out, so here it goes.

1. Joshua Ledet - You Pulled Me Through - Great, great, great performance from this guy... America will surely put him through, and I think he's gonna make it further than what I expected if he's gonna do performances like this every week. I have nothing more to say, I'm just really happy with his performance.

2. Heejun Han - Angels - Awesome, Hansane, Great performance from Heejun there. You'll probabaly say that I'm saying this because he's one of my favorites, but no, he really did a great job connecting, and singing that song. He will surely make it to the top 13 with that, really no doubt, he would make it. Can't wait to see him perform and can't wait to download his songs.

3. Creighton Fraker - True Colors - he sang the song like it's his own. He is really unique and he has the potentials to be in the top 13. I love his style and though he doesn't have the whole package, he still did a great job from his past performances, and now, here he is.

4. Phillip Phillips - In The Air Tonight - an average performance (maybe because I got used to him being the best) but I have to say it's still one of the best, and it got me off my seat. He has a really big chance of making it to the top 13.

5. Adam Brock - Think - Who would've thought that a guy could sing this song? He is indeed a White Chocolate. His take on the song was really awesome, he added sass and he made the audience move. He really did a good job.

6. Jeremy Rosado - Gravity - I'm not really that familiar with the song, but he had me hooked with his flawless performance, though it was safe. I just hope America would vote him through the top 13, because he's being oytshined by others' personalities.

7. Aaron Marcellus - Never Can Say Goodbye - Well, I wasn't expecting that! I never knew this guy could perform like that, because I knew I've seen him, but I don't remember any of his performances before. I hope America votes for him because he did a great job.

8. Colton Dixon - Decode - his song was a little current, and so it got some people. He started his performance with a piano, and he was doing a great job, but when he stood up, it kind of got a little lost, but he got it all together in the end. He has a good chance of making it to the top 13.

9. Reed Grimm - Moves Like Jagger - he put a good twist to the song, but I don't think it was one of the best performances of the night. He did a great job connecting with it though, and he has a really great voice. I think he has good chances.

10. DeAndre Brackensick - Reasons - he sang the whole song in vibrato, but it was just a flat performance, his chances of making it to the top 13 are in the middle, I'm not sure about him.

11. Jermaine Jones - Dance With My Father Again - it was him, and he is one of the contestants who has unique voices this season. Just so-so for me. I don't know.

12. Chase Likens - Storm Warning - I'm a big fan of country music but his performance didn't really get me movin' on my hayride. I saw his energy, but there's still something lacking. He also had less exposure from the camera, and that may be one of the reasons why he can't make it through.

13. Eben Franckewitz - Set Fire to the Rain - we all know that he's young, but this is one of the songs that he shouldn't touch because his voice is just tender and young. If he doesn't make it to the top 13, and he makes it to the Wildcard, he should really think of a good song for him.

How does it go? Same with last year, the top 5 guys and the top 5 girls will make it to the top 13, and the judges will be picking contestants to perform for the Wildcard round and choose three who will complete the 13.

TOP 5 PICKS OF THE NIGHT (considering what I think they could do in the future): Heejun Han, Phil Phillips, Creighton Fraker, Joshua Ledet, Colton Dixon

TOP 5 PICKS OF AMERICA (based on how I see them vote every season): Heejun Han, Phil Phillips, Colton Dixon, Reed Grimm, Joshua Ledet

WILDCARD (If they won't make it): Jeremy Rosado, Adam Brock, Creighton Fraker

AMERICAN IDOL 2012: THE ROAD TO THE LIVE SHOWS

The top 24 were just chosen and I'm so glad that most of the people I am rooting for made it, anyways, next week is the start of the Live Shows on American idol. On February 28, the top 12 boys will perform, followed by the top 12 girls on the 29th, and finally, on the first day of March, we will find out who among those 24 made it to the top 12, or maybe top 13, it's also gonna be a performance day for those who made it to the Wildcard rounds if ever they are not a part of the top 10, if they're still gonna do what they did last season. On Tuesday, they will also reveal who got a surprise save, which is probably a male contestant.

For this blog, you're gonna expect live blogging for every week, suggestion songs for each week, reaction to every performances, and also reaction to every eliminations.

The 24 are gonna be narrowed to 12, and so, based on how I saw them perform, I'm gonna list down my own top 12.

GUYS
  • Heejun Han - his voice is just unique, I think I never heard anyone sing like that in American Idol. I've been watching his journey ever since he auditioned in Pittsburgh, and he's really awesome.
  • Colton Dixon - I was rooting for him last year, but he got cut during the Green Mile, this year, the way he takes on his songs has sincerity and passion.
  • Phillip Phillips - he's one of the best contestants, I can't say he's the bestest, he had one of the best auditions, and he did good in Hollywood.
  • Creighton Fraker - one of the contestants with a very, very unique voice this year. I like his style, and he's also awesome.
  • Adam Brock - the father who's gonna do almost everything for his family. Who wouldn't like him? He has a good voice and I think he also has a good personality.
  • Eben Franckewitz - one of the youngest contestant this year. He has a lot to prove, and I know he's gonna do better if he makes it to the top 12.
WIKDCARD:
  • Jeremy Rosado - he is also one of the most talented guys in the competition, if one of the people above didn't make it, I hope he would.
  • Reed Grimm - the contestant with the best personality ever! Really likable.
GIRLS
  • Erika Van Pelt - first look and you'll see Kelly Clarkson for sure, and if you hear her voice, you're surely gonna get hooked with her. Erika Van Pelt is the new Kelly Clarkson, and it may happen soon.
  • Hallie Day - has a really great voice though she kept a low profile.
  • Hollie Cavanagh - she joined last year, but she got cut in the Green Mile. This year, I think she has a great chance.
  • Shannon Magrane - she stands 6 feet tall and she's surely gonna be one of the contestants who's gonna make people fall in love with her.
  • Elise Testone - this is her last chance, and I'm sure her last chance is gonna make her a star. She one of the people with the most amazing voices this season.
  • Skylar Laine - another country girl living her dreams. This girl has shown in the previous rounds her worth.
