The Touring Top 12

Here we go everyone! The Top 12. The Best Ever. I won’t be able to comment on the banter because I an fast forwarding through all Seacrest and Judge commentary. : P

I hope it’s good!!!! We shall see….on to the show!


Syesha – It was ok. It did sound different than the Beatles version so my ear was ready for their version. But it was ok.

Chikizie- I thought it was a great performance. Definitely different. I liked it. I look forward to him learning how to work the stage. The movement and his dancing seemed a little hockie. But the singing was great. I definitely had a flashback to “o brother where art thou”.

Side note: Don’t ever touch a black man’s head. A big no-no.

Ramiele – I knew someone was going to fall down those stairs. Did you see the stumble. It was a pretty performance. But nothing new. She can sing but needs to bust out. I think its her star quality she has to find.

Jason – I would like to see him without the guitar. I would compare it to Ramiele’s performance. He will also have to leave his eyes open 80% of a song.

Carly – Hated the outfit. She has to watch coming across too old and too “karaoke on Saturday night”. I think I am the only one but I thought it was alright, not great. I will re-watch because maybe I am missing something. Maybe because it’s so polished. She has the star quality and does already perform like a seasoned performer. I watched it again. Great voice.

David Cook – I figured it out. He has the Constantine smirk or snarl. That is why I don’t like him. This was a Beatles song? The music and melody was better than his singing. He is a garage band, 2 drink minimum singer at best. I agree with Simon. He is not bad, but I don’t like him. And it would get in the way of voting for him.

Brooke – nice, okay, safe. She picks really good songs for her voice. But I would like to see her stretch in the coming weeks. I liked her effort to try and get into it. I didn’t buy it….but A for effort.

David Hernandez - Of course good stage performance. I would have liked a song that showcased his voice better. But he did an ok, job and should remain. It was upbeat but still just an ok performance.

Amanda - hate, hate, hate her. Call me closed minded. Fine. Just don’t call for HER! Pardon me while I press the fast forward button.

Michael – I liked it. Not sure the older audience will appreciate not being familiar with the original. Maybe they heard it in a commercial or trailer. I thought this version was a beat too slow. That made it turn boring to me.

Kristy – Is that blood dripping from my ears? I though Amanda was bad….of course…such as in life…it COULD get worse. Everybody, say hello to worse. 1 judge said they liked the country twang and we get to listen to a ho-down until she’s gone. I do hate to say that she looked like she was having fun and was on key.

David Archuleta – thinkmmffrpp. We can work it outnnmmaafoo. Are those the lyrics? Wow! Stage fright got the best of him tonight. I think he has done enough in the past to stay even though we KNOW his performance was terrible and he should go home. Oh yeah, the arrangement was false, silly and a BAD idea. I appreciate Simon giving it him straight. I would have liked David to stop being a robot and speak openly. I like him less.

Top performances: Chickizee, Carly, Brooke. Bottom: David A., Ramiele, Amanda, Kristy – mainly girls. Going home….tough one…because it has become popularity contest. It will probably be…..Ramiele and Kristy, maybe John Cook. But this is a true test of fan bases. Anyway…we shall see. Cya tomorrow.
