American Idol-Lennon McCartney Songbook

Finally down to the final twelve. I was sad to see Danny Noriega leave, but oh well, the show must go on. This week it's music from the Lennon McCartney songbook. Syesha started the show off great singing "Got to Get You Into My Life". Did she have a makeover or what. She looked fantastic. If she doesn't win American Idol, she should parlay her looks into some kind of modeling. Chikeze was a dynamo, a bundle of energy, but is he marketable? Two of the biggest disappointments of the evening were Ramiele and little David Archuleta. Ramiele and David seem to have lost their confidence. Ramiele was so boring, yawn. Put some umph in it girl. And will someone give her a makeover, she's still stuck in Manila. David totally forgot his words and you could tell he was so nervous and how could he not know John Lennon? Now that's really young. I think maybe he's too young for this and needs to go back to high school and try again in a few years. Polish up his act and keep that tongue in check. Dreadlock Jason was dreadful and boring. I know I told you my new favorite is Carly. Her voice reminds me of Celine Dion. One thing Carly, you look better with straight hair and don't get any more tattoos. David Cook sang one of my favorite Beatles song, "Eleanor Rigby" but he fell short in the vocals. Two people that definitely need to go home are David Hernandez and Christi Lee Cook. David just doesn't have that American Idol star quality. Christi on the hand doesn't have a clue to her own identity or vocal genre. Simon said she sounded like Dolly Parton on helium.
Amanda Obermeyer sounded like she had a mouth full of marbles. Even Simon said he couldn't understand her. And Amanda keep that Gene Simmons tongue in your mouth, it's very uncouth.
The judges keep saying that this is the best season ever for the talent, well I just don't see it. Maybe they all need some more polishing and maybe somewhere in there there's a diamond waiting to be found.-Single D
