American Idol, doing another Beatles night? I wasn't so sure about it when I heard they were doing it. And after watching it, I am sure it was a bad idea. Tonight ended up being a snooze-fest. Well, here's my commentary as I watched the show with my ranking at the end.
Rocker Nurse singing Back in the USSR. Well, she's finally dressed normal. She definitely knows what kind of singer she is. This isn't that great of a song. She's trying to do more with it. She's a natural performer. She'll need a little more variety if she wants to stay in all the way. But I don't really know if she really cares about staying in all the way - and I like that. It was good, not great. Grade B.
There's No Way I'm Singing Country Again Girl singing Got to Hide Your Love Away. This is very mediocre to bad. Well, for one, this song doesn't do anything. And another she's not really doing anything with it. She was a off and boring. Grade D.
Kid Who Can Only Sing Ballads singing The Long and Winding Road. Oh, guess what - he's singing it as a ballad. Well, he's going okay. But guess what? I'm so totally bored. Grade B-. Uh, the judges liked it. Whatever dudes.
They are totally advertizing the iPhone. I like the iPhone, even though I don't have one.
Crocodile Dundee singing A Day in the Life. His pitch is always just a bit off. And his tone isn't all that great. He just has natural charisma, that's what pulls him through. And that song didn't do anything. Grade C.
Great Song Picker singing Here Comes the Sun. Her stock keeps rising week to week. Let's see if she can continue this week. Decent song choice. I'm actually paying attention a bit to this one. It's by no means a great vocal performance, but she picks a song I want to listen to. Yeah, it could be better, but so what, I actually watched it. She's just too likeable. Grade B.
Rocker Guy singing Day Tripper. I'm not sold sold on this guy. I really hope he doesn't start wearing eye liner. He already looks like he's got too much ego. Oh, he's doing a solo with a vocoder. It was lame. This song is lame. He's singing it decently, but so what? Boringness. Grade B.
Totally Over-Hyped Girl singing Blackbird. She's doing a ballad starting off low. She's okay low. Her pitch just isn't locked in enough to make me start liking her a lot. She has a bit of trouble switching between her ranges. I think I wouldn't mind her if the judges didn't speak so highly of her. Geez, these judges can't get enough of her. Well, at least Simon didn't like it much. Grade B.
Dreadlock Dude singing Michelle. He's got a nice voice and he's a nice guy. I wish the pitch was a bit tighter. It's a decent song song with a decent arrangement, but it's just not great. At least I wasn't totally bored. His likeability should keep in the game for a bit. Grade B.
Syesha singing Yesterday. Ug, she's trying to be all venerable and intimate with it, but she can't sing delicate. Again, more pitch offness. The only reason why I wasn't totally bored was because I was too busy cringing at the pitch. Grade C.
Chikezie singing I've Just Seen a Face. I don't know this song. Um, he's doing an almost country version of this song, with pitch problems. Uh, now it's a ho-down. You know how his stock rose last week? Well I guess he thought he had enough to throw it away. Grade D.
Ramiele singing I Should Have Known Better. Okay, she needs to pick a good song. And... it's not going to be this week. It's just some oldies karaoke sounding song. Hey, she actually hit a higher big note. Like she can totally sing, but she chooses not to. I don't get it. It's like she's got a turbo button that she forgets to push. Hey! The turbo button is right there, you don't use it up when you press it. So hit it. Grade B.
Ranking - This is going to be really hard, because no one was that good.
