BeatleMania Deja Vu- American Idol Top 11

This all sounds really familiar, all this stuff about the BEatles, doesn't it? Yeah that's because this week on AI its the EXACT SAME theme as last week. I'm not sure how I feel about this. On one hand eh boring, been there done that, move on! On the other, the Beatles have a lot of great songs and it will be interesting to see what people do now after last weeks comments. I'm leaning more toward bored with it, as I've been really wanting the contestants to sing more modern, current songs, but hopefully that's coming soon....
Lindsay: i actually don't have all that much to say other than it was overall a bad nightand re-doing the theme from last week was a terrible terrible idea

Amanda opens the show singing Back in the USSR. It's not bad, she sounds pretty good, but Simon is right- it's getting a little boring. I'd like to hear her sing something a little slower and see what she does. Hair is as big and two-toned as ever.

Kristy Lee is up. Wow the girl loves shiny clothes! Awww a picture of her dog- trying to get sympathy votes? This is boooring. Yeah you've been in the bottom two every week cause you aren't good! She's singing You've Got to Hide Your Love Away- which she never heard before. Ahhh why don;t these people know the Beatles?? It's so sad. KL is doing the country thang again, but its already sounding better than last week cause its not drowning in the music. That's a pretty plunging neckline, KL- trying to get votes from all angles huh? This isn't that good although it is better than last week and she isn't doing the crazy eyes as much. Randy says the song should've been more emotional, which I hear. Paula says she looks gorgeous- her way of saying shes pretty but the singing was eh. I wish she was as good as when she sang Amazing Grace, cause that was awesome. She proclaims she wants to Blow Simon...Out of his Socks. LOL, KL.

Lindsay: through her entire song i just sat there shaking my head saying "no" and willing it to stop. It took all I had in me not to hit FFand then when she told Simon she would Blow him... intentionally or not... I lost itand clearly EVERYONE picked up on what she accidentally saidso that was funnyand I hated that everyone found it necessary to defend themselves to the judges

Next up is puppy. I feel bad for him, I bet he was like Damn the Beatles again. I'm nervous for him. He's singing The Long and Winding Road. He obvi feels more comfortable with the slow songs- which is ok, but sometimes it makes him sound dated. The arm waving is distractingly stupid. Aaaand he's back! Go pup! Shot of David's abusive manager dad. I just think he looks awkward in suit jackets- I much prefer a younger looking outfit like the polo (s) he rocked at the elimination. Simon thought he was... amazing. Claps for him! wow. That was a lot of blond girls clapping for him. He still pretty awkward, the pupster.

Lindsay: David A bores me to tears. I wouldn't pay a dollar to see him concertand the lavish praise they keep throwing at him makes me want to pukehe is NOT that good

Mike's up, singing A Day in the Life. Ooh he looks nice in a black shirt and tie. I want him to belt it out, but it starts kinda slow. It's getting faster, slowly. Um he's not even singing, just saying aaaahhhahaha. This preformance is a little disjointed. I still like him and think he can do better. I thought it was kind of weird. Aww poor Mikey. Yeah I didn't it worked as a minute and a half either.

Lindsay: poor michael got wrecked by paula's stupidityI dont know what possessed her to tell the audience that he sounded amazing in rehearsals, it just proves that he sucks in front of a major audienceand then to point out the contestants are wearing earpieces so that must be why he sucked... then to find out he wasnt wearing one... I just cant believe what an idiot she made him look. Not to mention Paula...

Brooke's turn. Curly bangs are back! Cute dress. I wanted to see her hubby I bet he's really cute. I loved her last week. Oh she's singing Here Comes the Sun, I get the yellow dress now- she's really taking the lyrics to heart! It's not as good as Let it Be, she's really skinny and kinda an awkward dancer with some jerky, twisty moves. Still like her though. Aww her husband is cute. I want her hair (minus the bangs). I actaully kind of to just be her. Simon said HATED it and she's trying to take it well but she looks like she/s going to cry. Also stop talking.

Lindsay: I would've totally preferred to have had Brooke do Yesterday.
I was not so keen on the fact that she kept replying to the judges and saying its okay its okay over and over, like once was enoughbut she is so super niceand even though the performance aspect was "awkward" she sounded really goodand when she admitted that she is complelte awkward dancer I just couldnt help but want her to be my friend

David C is up. I also really like him last week so he'll probably suck this week, as the trend so far is going. He's looking a little better in his interviews. He's singing Daytripper, which I'm not so familar with. He's also wearing a tie over his t-shirt? This is ok- I like his voice, not so much the song. Woah wtf was that? Kinda cool. Oh it was a voicebox. Intttteresting... haha Simon did NOt like it either.
Lindsay: david cook i think his a great performer


That Irish chick is singing Blackbird, which Paula was babbling about before. This is kinda boring... also the theme of the song. I'm not such a fan of this performance, I liked last week much better. The end is way better. I missed the judges comments.

Lindsay is typing…i'm glad someone sang blackbird but I wish someone would have played it on guitar, cause that is a kick ass guitar song. but carly has an insane voicealso- I think she is preggers.

Jason is singing in French, Michelle. His shirt has denim accents. I think his voice sounds good- the song was a little weird though. I still have love for him though. Actually I watched it again after and I liked it much better the second time.

Lindsay: i actually liked himi think he couldve picked a better song, and maybe I am just blinded by the fact that I just like him and when his did that little floopy thing when he was doing the frnech thing...i loved it it was cool

Chickeze is trying to build off last week, but it doesnt go as well. He starts kinda sloww and boring and then busts out a harmonica (after telling us he doesnt know how to play) and it takes a weird country turn. He's not that bad, but it wasn;t that great either- I think he might be in the bottom 3 tomorrow.

Lindsay: chikezie started off slow and i immediately thought "oh great he is going back to the boring slow song thing" but then when it picked up i was more into it, he should definitely do more upbeat stuff if he sticks around, but the harmonica was a lame indulgent touch and his personality kinda irks me

In my opinion, Sayesha kills it. She sounds great and it's a really good version of the song. I'm not a huge fan of hers, but I def like her tonight and think she's safe.

Lindsay: Sayesha was good, but I am just not a fan of hers and could care less that this was probably her best performance

Ramiele closes the show.... wtf is she wearing. That outfit is AWFUL. It's like a corset over a t-shirt with kinda mom jeans. And a white fedora. Honey, no. Her sining wasn;t much better- it got a little better at the end but still. The judges hate it as well.


So to sum up: Best of the night: David A and Sayesha (surprise)
Worst: Kristy Lee, Ramiele, Chickeze

I hope next week they can think of a different theme!
