It’s Idol night again …
Tonight it was Dolly Parton doing the mentoring … Ok, cool. Should be sort of fun, right?
Eh. My excitement seems to be lessening with each week as the lines between the talented and the wannabes grow finer. Then there’s others we're just getting sick of …
Brooke White started it off with “Jolene.” I really liked it, again. I loved the band … Kates and I continue to love her style, her song choices and everything else about her. We’re totally getting her album …
Carly Smithson did “Here You Come Again.” … And whoah, did Carly regain her footing! Yes, she was smiling. Yes, she appeared to be having more fun this week. And her slowed-down arrangement was soaring. Performance of the night, no doubt.
Jason Castro with his version of “Travelin’ Thru” kind of got us liking him again, too. I think when he’s got that upbeat Jason Mraz / Jack Johnson thing going he can be really entertaining and fun to hear …
In the second tier tonight, I start with David Cook and his “Little Sparrow” … It was all right. He’s been getting more exciting with each passing week, but this week I thought the electricity was lacking …
I expected Syesha Mercado to kill on “I Will Always Love You” … and she did -- for the first half of it. But the second half was pitchy and it really slipped …
And David Archuleta … Whatever. The moment he said “The song reminds me of when I‘m singing…” Kates and I burst out laughing with Archuleta mockery: (Said in dreamy David Archuleta voice) The song reminds of when I’m singing about roses and sunshine and rainbows and pretty little things that make me so happy I just lick my lips over and over … Now little David’s sweetness is just plain annoying …
Then there was Michael Johns' vocals, which I totally didn’t like. And Kristy Lee Cook who should’ve knocked it out of the park this week, but didn’t. And Ramiele Malubay, who just needs to go home …
