American Idol Is Finally Interesting - My Predictions For Tonight’s Results
Maybe it’s the fact that Fox’s American Idol infused some fresh blood into the show by having Gwen Stefani on to mentor the Top Ten final contestants, or the anticipation over the fate of pop culture phenom Sanjaya Malakar, but the show is now becoming interesting.
I like Gwen, think she’s really a great performer and an icon. I don’t say that lightly because I pretty much hate ALL celebrities and most popular music. But anyone who can reinvent ska and pop gets a thumbs up from me, plus her single with Akon is fun and light. Just like her. I loved her honesty on the show, and clearly the contestants took her advice to heart.
Gwen told Blake to put the beat-boxing on the dl while performing the Cure’s “Love Song” - and he did an incredible job, sans beatbox on a classic alterna-rock ballad. The guy has a nice voice and a unique quality. I agree with Paula, he’s the best male on the show. He’s safe.
I also agreed with her suggestion that Chris Richardson needs to keep the “vocal olympics” to a minimum, while performing No Doubt’s “Don’t Speak.” He’s hot, he’s got JT all over him, but seriously that whole effected voice thing is lame and gets old real fast. He’s safe.
She also suggested that Chris Sligh get the timing and the rhythm down before he performed the Police’s “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic”, too bad he wasn’t able to handle the song. I like Chris, but he’s losing my interest. Bottom three tonight.
LaKisha looked good and sounded great doing Donna Summer’s “Last Dance”. I like her, she’s a great performer and deserves to win. Plus, she’s nice and fluffy up top!
Haley Scarnato looks good, but she’s boring as hell. Bottom three.
Phil Stacey has an awesome voice and I really like to hear him sing, but he’s not showing as much charisma as I think he has, plus his look is killing me. I don’t know. I want to see him stay, but I feel like he’s going to be in the bottom three, despite doing a great job on the Police’s, “Every Breath You Take.”
I had great concern over Jordin Sparks doing No Doubt’s “Hey Baby,” the song as they said is very stylized and not easy to mimic. She did an okay job and for some reason people like her. She’s too perky for my taste, but she’s safe.
Melinda Doolittle needs to stop mugging for the camera, we get it, you’re humble and surprised that everyone loves you. Enough already. Safe - and annoying. Safe.
Gina Glocksen did a nice job. Her face scares me, she might be in the bottom three.
Sanjaya, safe. Why? Because his hair rules!
UPDATE: Sanjaya Safe, Chris Sligh Goes Home. I guess he isn’t bringing chubby back.
