We love Simon. Simon pretty much always gets it right. He's not trying to spare anyone's feelings because that's not the nature of the entertainment business. And frankly, he's usually right.
Tonight was no exception. Here are our reviews of tonight's performances.
Mario, where for art thou Mario?
Man on man are we totally bummed that Mario Vazquez isn't there. I mean he was one of the best ones. We really thought he could win.
Anyway, rumor has it that he quit because his agent said that if he won he would be locked in to American Idol and wouldn't be able to sign with anyone else. Frankly, if it's true, I think he got some bum advice.
First of all, he's locked in the Idol until 3 months after the contest ends anyway. And now, he won't get anywhere near the exposure he would have gotten had he stayed. He also won't develop the fan base he would have if he'd stayed.
But what's done is done. We hope it all turns out all right.
Anthony Federov - Performance was pretty good. But Anthony, you can do better. You're one of our favs and remind us of Clay. Step it up next week dude because we can get bored quickly.
Anwar Robinson - What happened? The judges gave great reviews and we know that's because you have this perfect voice. But seriously Anwar, you could have done MUCH better. I mean it was like watching a Ferrari drive 3 blocks at 45 MPH. Anwar, you could have made that song sound so much better than Luther (Vandross) ever did. What happened? PLEASE TEAR IT UP NEXT WEEK! Don't get complacent.
Bo Bice - DA BOMB!!! We love you Bo. You totally tore it up this week. You're one of our favorites and we think you can WIN! Bo is exactly what the music business needs. He's different and he looks & sounds great. Rock it Bo. See you next week.
Carrie Underwood - Carrie, you too are one of our favorites. But this week, your performance was well, boring. You sang the song with technical perfection, but there was no style. We agree with Simon that you picked a song that was true to who you are, that's great. But you didn't make the song your own. You just sang the notes with none of the Carrie sizzle that we're used to. Please do better next week.
Constantine Maroulis - Dude! You rock. Your voice was great this week. The best vocal performance we've heard you do. You can actually sing dude! I mean not just stylin' like usual but really SING. Well done. Now you're more than just a hottie. See you next week. :-)
Jessica Sierra - HOME GIRL ROCKED IT! I don't care what Randy says. You rocked it girl. The performance was hot. I totally hope to see you next week.
Lindsey Cardinale - Very off key. Lindsey, you're a lovely girl. This may be your final week and if it is, we wish you the best.
Mikalah Gordon - WE LOVE MIKALAH!! We love your saucy style and thought your voice sounded GREAT this week. The problem was that you were bouncing too much and it made your voice shake. This made it seem like you were off but you actually weren't.
Madonna used to have this problem too, so you're in good company. She had to work with voice coaches so she could sing while dancing. It's harder than it looks. Try not to bounce next week Mikalah. We sincerely hope to see you next week and believe we will if you're more popular than Lindsey, which we think you are or at least should be. (Sorry Lindsey).
Nadia Turner - Nadia, we love you too. This is so hard for us because we love so many of this season's performers. You did great girl but it was a little dry. Next week stay more true to your funky soulful self as much as possible.
Nikko Smith - DUDE! We're so glad you're in this. We thought you deserved to be and were genuinly surprized when you didn't beat out Lindsey (sorry Lindsey). You have alot of talent. Now this week, you stunk up the joint as you were totally off key. You can do so much better if you just relax. It sounded like you were really nervous which is understandable considering how you got into the top 12. Alot of pressure.
Anyway, we think you'll make it to next week because people will vote for you since you're now an underdog. But this was a bad off key performance dude. Step it up next week because you might not be so lucky then.
Scott Savol - WHOA! Sleeper! You totally rocked. I love that song and you did it proud. You keep getting better every week. Keep it up and you may make the top 5 or 6!
Vonzell Solomon - It was an okay, nice performance. Simon was spot on. You'll make it to next week but won't last long unless you bring it.
