Brief Hiatus

Hey guys,

I'm going to be taking a short break from blogging for a while. I'll probably be back once I get through this "thesis" phase.

See yah!

American Idol Season 9 Review #10 Top 9

Back with another AI review!!

Lennon McCartney Songbook once again!

Starting with the Good:

Katie Stevens (Let It Be)- I don't know...I just really loved this performance! She really performed it tonight. I really hope she stays!

Casey James (Hey Jealousy)- I really like Casey when he performs more intimately and showcases his softer side. One of the stronger performances of the night!

Crystal Bowersox (Come Together)- I think this is my favorite cover of this song ever!! heheh.. Crystal, once again, you were just effortless!

The OK:

Siobhan Magnus (Across the Universe)- It was nice to see Siobhan restrain from the high notes and show the softer side of her vocals. Her voice is indeed beautiful. She, however, is at her ultimate best when she does those unbelievable high notes! ;D

Lee Dewyze (Hey Jude)- Sooo glad someone sang this song finally! However, i do think Didi did a much better version... I loved the beginning, but it got a bit over the place towards the end.. Lee's still a personal favorite though! Hope he stays safe and steps it up next week!

Mike Lynche (Eleanor Rigby)- He seems to be doing the same thing every week...I honestly don't hear him on contemporary radio..maybe he should go broadway...Just a side, check out David Cook's performance of this, it was great!

Tim Urban (All My Loving)- I liked Tim in this performance! I don't think he'll be going anywhere after this performance! hahah...

The Bland and Bad

Andrew Garcia (Can't Buy Me Love) This performance was dull for me. Yup, he showcased his range, but It was incredibly pitchy.

Aaron Kelly (The Long and Winding Road) Whenever I hear this song, I think David Archuleta. This performance absolutely paled in comparison to the Archie performances unfortunately. It was so shaky (probably nervous).

Prediction:

We may see Katie or Tim again in the BOTTOM 3, but neither of them will be leaving yet.

Andrew, Aaron, and Mike Lynche may be in the Bottom 3 for their first time tonight, and end up leaving. :D
