Top 12 GIRLS Perform - Reviews / Predictions

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have ourselves a competition. I will update the reviews later today. Predictions are at the end of this post.

Stephanie Edwards - "How Come You Don't Call Me"
I thought Stephanie did great! Coming out first after the disaster last night. She looked poised and confident. I also think she is really likable.

Amy Krebs - "I Can't Make You Love Me"
Simon was right about her being ordinary, the hair, the clothes. I don’t think she will last very long unless she survives this week and we see something drastically different.

Leslie Hunt - "Natural Woman"
I really liked Leslie’s look and her hair. Her stylist did a great job with her highlights! Her singing nothing special. I’d like to see her again so I hope she survives another week.

Sabrina Sloan - "I Never Loved a Man the Way I Loved You"
Sabrina sang this song really well. Don’t know if her style of singing can easily translate into some of the themes that go along with American Idol? I also don’t think she is really all that likable?

Antonella Barba - "Don't Want to Miss a Thing"
Antonella has probably gotten more screen time than just about anybody else this year. Would she be this years Kelly Pickler? The untrained voice? Doesn't look like it. I think she will survive because of her TV time...this time. Making the big stage just became a lot harder for her than it had to be.

Jordin Sparks - "Give Me One Reason"
I really like Jordin. She reminds me vocally a little of Kimberly Locke - Season 2. Lots of power in her voice. She is young and it showed a little, but she seems to be fearless, a good trait for this program. Jordin is a perfect fit!

Haley Scarnato - "It's All Coming Back to Me Now"
Haley has a really interesting tone to her voice, and I think she did well enough to advance another week. Nothing special so far, more middle of the pack, top of the bottom.

Nicole Tranquillo - "Star"
It took awhile to find the name of the song performed by Nicole. Really difficult to even understand the lyrics she sang. Credit to Laura at idolreview.net for the find. That isn’t going to bode well for her.

Melinda Doolittle - "Since You've Been Gone"
American Idol, the machine, seems to want Melinda to do well. Well, thats OK because so do I.

Alaina Anderson – “Brass in My Pocket”
I think Alaina has a great personality for this show. Whether or not she has any vocal ability has yet to be determined? Nto a really good performance, but not the worst, for me.

Gina Glocksen - "All By Myself"
Well, while Gina has gotten alot of screen time over the past two seasons, we've really only seen her sing snippets here and there. I really didn't want her to sing Celine Dion, but it turned out OK. Sorry Gina, you didn't hit that note though! Simon was right.

Lakisha Jones - "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going"
Wow. When I heard whatLakisha was singing, my first inclination was to hate it. That is my girl Jennifer's song! I think it's interesting Simon told Lakisha she is in a different league, after telling Jennifer she wasn't good enough...heh!

My bottom 3: Antonella, Amy, Nicole
VFTW supporting: Antonella Barba

Dial Idol Results:
Laskisha Jones – 37.128
Antonella Barba – 18.205
Melinda Doolittle – 14.923
Jordin Sparks – 14.487
Stephanie Edwards – 11.564
Haley Scarnato – 10.692
Nicole Tranquillo - 9.769
Gina Glocksen – 9.385
Sabrina Sloan – 8.718
Leslie Hunt – 8.538
Amy Krebs – 6.769
Alaina Anderson – 2.41

This makes a little more sense. Obviously this early in the competition "Vote for the Worst" seems to be having some impact.
