party like its your birthday

AMERICAN IDOL!

Ramiele- starts off a little slow, but gets into it and it seems like its going to be better, but its not.  However- gotta comment on the shorts.  High waisted and pleated. just, no.  They make her look short (er) and stumpy and it's just not a good look. 

Randy didn't like it- says she's sick but it still sucked.  Ditto with Paula. Simon didn't think it was that bad and thinks she'll get through again (hopefully not)

Jason is up- and its his 21st birthday! He's adorably awkward as usual and I love it.  Omg he and his bro are so cute.  He s singing Sting's Fragile, back with the guitar.  Pretty good, I wish he had sung a little louder.  Randy liked it- nice and pleasant, but nothing special. Agreed.  Paula says the same thing as Randy, as usual.  Woah paula is wearing high leather fingerless gloves with diamond bracelets over them. Just pointing that out.  Simon says it was clumsy and too laid back. Was that Callie from Greys Anatomy? 

Up next is Sayesha, and she does the baby cry again, it kinda creeps me out actually.  She's singing If I Were Your Woman- this sounds like an Alicia Keys song, but not as good.  But she's not bad. Actually I think Alicia covered this?  I feel like if she's going to just stand there and sing she should have a mic stand and not it- or maybe that's just what I would do.  Randy LOVED it and calls is stellar and that he was shocked.  Paula's eyes look sooo weird.  She calls Say the dark horse to sail through.  Simon doesn't agree about how good it is and says Sayesha vocals are limited.

Chikeze is singing a ballad, which is sure to be a snoozefest. Oh there go the arm swaying.  Eh- its a no for me.  Also for Randy- who says it was too old and boring.  Wow I'm in sync with Randy tonight.  Paula thought it was a good throwback and that he did a great job. Simon thinks he sang it well but it was cheesy.

Brooke is up and we see picture of totally blonde family including her mom who looks EXACTLY like her, and only like 10 years older.  She's singing Every Breathe YOu Take . Oh sad she messed up, but gets back into it and it sounds good. I really like this song.  She looks so pretty, her hair looks amazing.  It could be a little better, but overall I like it.  Randy didn't really like the arrangement. I agree it would've been better without the band at all and just her. Simon agree with me and Randy.  

Michaels turn.  He was born in 1978- the oldest of them all.  Aww his parents are so cute.  He's singing We Are the Champions by Queen.  He loves Queen- I do too actually. Like last week it's a little disjointed but get ALOT better towards the end.  WOW the crowd is loving it! i didn't like the beginning, but I thought the end was great.   The judges love it- including Simon who says he saw star potential in MJ. 

Carly (possibly preggers) is up and tells about being born in Dublin.  Wow her mom also looks just like her and says she was named after Carly Simon.  Total Eclipse of the Heart, yes. Oh wow she def looks preggo.  Cool dress though.  I like her performance alot.  She's good at grrl pop rock. As Paula would say, its her niche.  I don't think it was a weird song for her- I totally see how she would pick that and I think it fits her perfectly.  

David A- tells us he might have to miss prom! all the little girls are like OH MY GOD TAKE ME! AAAWW is that his girlfriend, so cute! Or his sister? I don;t know. Oh there's crazy stage dad.  Since DA was born like yesterday.. wait what song is this? It sounds kinda weird.  I like his outfit much better this week- its young.  I don't know this song and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I guess he sounds good though.  Oh Paula snap, theyre asking what the f that song was? Simon didn't like it and riiips him apart.  David is just smiling creepily and laughing.  

KLC is next and her dad looks like Woody Harrelson.   She's singing God Bless the USA.  I feel like its a charity performance or somethings.  It's not neccessarily bad, but just kinda weird.

Randy and Paula liked it.  Simon thinks it was the most clever song choice and was brilliant- huh.  

D.Cook is up and shows us cute pics of him as a baby.  He's singing Billie Jean by Michael Jackson doing (i think) Chris Cornell's version.  I'm a big fan- I like alternative rock and I think he;s good at it and knows what he likes.  This sounds nothing like the original and its cool. His voice is raspy and awesome and I don't care if people think he's smug, he's good.

I mean Randy says he was really original, and while I agree its a little misleading cause he covered someone else's version and didn't make it up himself.  Even so- it was amazing, as agrees Simon.
