American Idol Sleeps Through The 70's

By: Mary Cavaliere

I’m a huge fan of American Idol. But tonight’s show was the most boring episode I’ve ever watched.  That is until the very last performance of the night.  Last week I thought David Archuleta was the BEST OF THE NIGHT and tonight was a repeat performance.  David’s rendition of John Lennon’s IMAGINE was absolutely brilliant and I’m sure Paula and I were not the only two crying through the entire song. 

Tonight’s episode showcased the Top 10 guys with music from the 70’s.  Last week was the 60’s.  I guess that means we have the 80’s to look forward to next week.  I tried to find something positive in every performance to balance my negative comments.  Here’s my yin and yang on each performer this week:

1)    Michael Johns ~ Positive:  He has a strong, solid voice.  Negative:  He’s not original enough.  I was bored with his performance.

2)    Jason Castro ~  Positive:  He is very unique and original.  Negative:  Doing a song by the Bee Gees was not in his best interest this week.

3)    Luke Mendard ~ Positive:  A very interesting and unique song choice.  Negative:  He didn’t sing it very well at all.  Last week I thought he was the worst of the night.  In spite of his good looks, I don’t see him lasting too long in this competition.

4)    Robbie Carrico ~ Positive:  His best vocal to date.  Negative:  He still bores me to death.  I also wish he would wash his hair.  Being a rocker doesn’t mean you have to look unclean. 

5)    Danny Noriega  ~ Positive:  He has strong vocals and he’s adorable.  Negative:  He had some pitch problems tonight, and for the second week in a row, he made a bad song choice.  His performance was a bit lifeless and I was disappointed because I love this kid a lot!

6)    David Hernandez  ~ Positive:  He definitely bumped it up a notch or two from last week.  One of the best vocals of the night.  It was hot!  Negative:  The only thing I could find wrong was the hood on his jacket.  It looked juvenile.  But he was still hot!

7)    Jason Yeager ~ Positive:  A much better vocal than last week.  He obviously got control of his nerves.  Negative:  He’s still a bit boring and predictable. 

8)    Chikezie  ~ Positive:  His vocals were excellent and he reeked of sex appeal.  One of the best of the night!  Negative:  Sorry Simon, but I loved his orange suit last week.  The jeans and the sneakers and the golf shirt just did not work for me. 

9)    David Cook  ~ Positive:  Strong vocals the same as last week.  Negative:  I agree with Simon.  He does not have the looks or charisma to carry him through.  I feel that his vocal ability is one-dimensional. 

10)    David Archuleta ~ Positive:  THEY SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST!  He literally saved the night.  Negative:  I could not find anything negative about the way he looked or performed.  He is definitely positioning himself to win this competition!

There were a lot of contenders that could be at risk of being voted off, but if it were my decision I would vote the same as last week (Luke Mendard) with Robbie Carrico right behind him.

Overall I will say this.  The guys had better step it up next week because I think tomorrow night the girls are going to kick some butt!
