American Idol: As I Heard It: 3rd 12 of 36
Von Smith — You’ll All I Need to Get By — Good song. He started off a little too quiet maybe, but very soon he was owning it. Good for him — he did well. No, he doesn’t look like Clay but he sort of sounds like Clay. I see Simon agrees with me. If you roll the seasons back and Clay had to deal with the rules this season, I don’t know that he would have made it to the final 3 in a night because he was just such a dork, although he probably would have gotten through as the judges’ wild card pick.
Taylor — If I Ain’t Got You — Whoa, tough song choice. And ouch, she’s not up to the challenge. The chorus is better, but it just isn’t good. Bye bye, Taylor.
Alex — I Guess That’s Why They Call It the Blues — What’s with those moves? How did he get through? He doesn’t sound good at all, and I love this song.
Ariana — The Winner Takes It All — Weird choice and extremely poorly sung. This might be the worst performance of these 3 weeks. Painful. Next.
*Ju’Not — Hey There Delilah — Nice, very nice. Good song choice, well sung. Simple, no frills — just well sung. The best of the night so far. Ok, a glitch of two, but a very nice performance.
*Kristen — Give Me One Reason — I don’t like her because of the way she was during auditions, but I guess she did pretty well. She reminds me of Anna Faris.
Nathaniel — I Would Do Anything for Love — First, he looks like an idiot. Second, his voice doesn’t have the heft for that song. How any people can do a Meatloaf song? This is like a high school musical of Bat Out of Hell. I hope we don’t have to see him again because he’s annoying.
Felicia — No One — Good song, and I like this girl. Interesting that she didn’t initially make it through, and yet she’s better than most of the girls. Oh, a bad note. I don’t think she’ll go the distance, but I like her.
Scott — Mandolin Rain — He sang it reasonably well, but no one wants to watch a singer who doesn’t blink.
<span style="font-family: Book Antiqua”>Kendall — The ? of the Girls — Don’t know this at all. Cute girl. Dad should stop doing the alligator dance. I like her. She looks young and girly and cute and sang it well. A couple of glitches but I didn’t mind them. I thought she was younger.
Jorge — Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me — Those are some eyebrows!! And that stare is kind of creepy. He definitely has a voice but I think he was trying to scare me. Maybe all the Puerto Ricans will call in and vote for him.
*Lil Rounds — Be Without You — I’ve been waiting to see her again because she was really good whenever we saw her. I’m not crazy about this song so I’m not sure if she stayed in tune, but she sounded good to me. Very professional. She should go far, and maybe all the way.
For me, tonight it’s Lil and Ju’Not. The third might be Kristen, although she annoys me. Or maybe Felicia or Kendall? Von did well, too. I don’t know who should be the third. Ok, hearing the short clips of them, I guess Kristen should get through, but I like Felicia better.
So what did you all think?
Now I guess I have to watch that Asshole Bachelor for yet another hour. By now, he’s probably dumped Molly and is bothering DeAnna. ;(
We’re all Lil Rounds fans here! She’s a Memphis girl!!!

I thought Kendall was terrible last night. She is cute in a “looks like everyone else” kind of way. Jorge- stop with the f*ck me face at the camera. It is creepy! Great voice for that song though.
