American Idol 2010

I think Big Mike's time is up. Which is too bad because I kind of like him now.

I actually enjoyed Casey's performance for the first time.

I agree about the Siobhan scream. I think her best performance was the first week when she sang Wicked Games and she didn't need it then.

Crystal's doing too much backtalking. She better stop that if she wants to maintain her golden position.

Lee was just ok I thought. Aaron was pretty good - I think he'll be safe at least.

I hope Big Mike will get a lot doors opened to him from this. He has the voice of a recording artist.

I think from this week, bottoms will be 2.

So, my wish bottom 2 are... Aaron and Siobhan.

Aaron was good last night, but I don't wanna hear his wimpy singing anymore. But looks like everybody liked it. And kinda sick of Siobhan's scream too.

Last night, Mike's performance was great, my Casey was baaaacckk!! So, no bottom 2 for them, I hope!

Lee was OK. Crystal was not so great for her, but she's still possible winner.

OMG I am glad I am not the only one that thinks that. I have seen Siobhan do it as well, but with Crystal it is with every negative comment. She is good, but obviously can't handle constructive criticism. She would be wise to listen. The judges didn't get where they are at in life by pure chance.

I heard Big Mike from the other room. It sounded good, but a little sleepy. I also heard some of Casey. It started out really good, but kind of fell off shortly after he started.

[Yurika & Jim 77]

Frank Sinatra week...

It's tough week for my Casey... He's not a smooth singing guy...

Sorry to say that it's time to say good bye to Casey...

[CDAgirlMI 51]

Yea, we forgot to comment on Siobhan's oust.

I was kinda surprised she left before some of the other contestants, but wasn't a huge fan of hers lately.

I've got tonight's show on record & I'll watch it tomorrow morning...watching Red Wings hockey now

Well, again, sabotaged by the hubby. He had the official warning that next week I am to be left alone for one hour. If that line is crossed I will be forced to go on strike. I wonder how he will like it when I take time off cooking?

I heard the last of big Mike, and I see the judges liked it, but honestly I didn't hear enough to make a judgment call. From the recap alone I can say that Lee was my favorite.

As for Siobhan being gone, well she has gone down hill, but I was surprised as well. There were others that should have gone before her.

You missed Kara telling Casey that she finally realized that he sounds like a sheep in his higher register. She nailed it on the head. His performance was the worst of them last night. It was so bad, I don't think he'll be hanging on for another week.

[CDAgirlMI 51]

And you missed Crystal with her continuous back-talking.

Seriously...when the judges give her comments that she doesn't like, she basically tells them she sang it the right way....for whatever reasons.

That to me is not back-talking. She was asked by Ryan what she thought and she gave an honest answer. Simon responded in a sincere way knowing that it was a difference of opinion rather than her scoffing at the judge's opinions, and she even said she appreciates the constructive criticism. In a profession where artists like her are going to faced with criticism a lot, she's got to be able hold her own or she'll be constantly chasing everyone else's advice. That happened to some of the other contestants and it didn't work out so well.

[CDAgirlMI 51]

She's been doing it every show for many weeks now.

Yea, she'll be judged & criticized by many if she continues in the music industry, but on American Idol, I don't think she should be saying too much.

[morocco4ever 63]

Casey was really that bad? the recap didn't sound that bad, but usually they show the highlight of the performance. The recap of Crystal wasn't that impressive to me. Actually the only one that sounded good to me was Lee. But again that is the only one I heard all of the way through.

As for Crystal, if Ryan asked then yes I can see where she has a right to speak her mind. The times that bugged me is when the judges gave their critique, and you could see it was time to move on, and she still piped up. Sometimes it is best to listen to the judges, then listen to the public, and then decide to yourself how you want to proceed. For instance, Simon is well known for being critical. But most of the time he is right on the mark. The time I disagree is when someone is singing a style that Simon isn't fond of, such as country. That is when I see he is critical more because it doesn't suit his style. But there are times where the other judges are trying to get the performers to go "outside" of their style, and Simon has said quite plainly that that IS their style, and don't listen. This is when I agree with him.

Remember Siobhan at the start? That is when she was her best, and when she was herself. Then the judges told her they wanted her to show them different things. Well, she did, and it didn't work for her. She should have listened, kept her mouth shut, and did her own thing, because she should have already known her strengths and limitations. Even those that didn't like her "screaming" has to admit that this is what she does best.

So it seems that everyone thinks it is going to be Casey tonight that goes. I guess we will see.

Ya, I think Casey is a going. 'You killed it in rehearsal'.

Casey is gone, Lee is going to give Crystal a run for her money.
