[VIDEO] 3/5/13: AMERICAN IDOL RECAP & REVIEW; WILL ZOANETTE FINALLY GO HOME? TOP 10 GIRLS PERFORM

CHECK OUT RECAP OF TOP TEN GUYS 3/6/12 HERE.

American Idol finally turned the voting over to the fans.  There have been several contestants hanging on for dear life and Zoanette was one of them.  The judges have amazed many viewers by continuously praising her every move.  But at last…her true lack of talent came to light without being overshadowed by her wild performances.   While she is extremely entertaining and has a great spirit, early on it was clear her vocals were not up to par.  The judges even agreed she sucked last night.  This was the perfect time for that ship to sink…let’s just hope AMERICA gets it right.

On the other hand, most of the remaining singers deserve to be there.  They are fairly equal when it comes to vocal ability and depending on song choice, it’s anyone’s to win.  This is clearly one of the best group of girls in a long time and they sounded great.  Even though the judges were not always jumping for joy, most would have sailed through in any other season.

However, Nicki Minaj is now not only on my last nerve, she needs to get the wax out of her ears.  She stepped out the gate bashing the first contestant, Breanna Steer, who actually sounded good.  While Nicki said she was straining….it was the total opposite.  The only thing straining is that blond wig on Nicki’s head…:).

Based on tonight’s performances, the bottom two were definitely Aubrey Cleland and Zoanette Johnson.   Although Aubrey is beautiful she did not sound good…but the judges are clearly seeing dollar signs.  Best performances of the night were given by Teena Torres, Amber Holcomb, Kree Harrison, Candace Glover and Angie Miller.   No doubt, these should be the top five.

If the viewer’s vote out Zoanette…the girls may have a chance to win after the six-year dry spell!   Wish her the best for making it this far, but she is in too deep.  Really love the guys so this may be a long shot.

On another note; most stars find even bigger success after joining Idol as a judge.  Wonder if Nicki will be the first to  actually ruin her singing career?  She is an artist that is better left singing rather than speaking.  Is it just me or does anyone else agree?  AMERICA HATES NICKI ON IDOL!

Guys sing tomorrow night and votes come out on Thursday…we shall see.

5/2/12 AMERICAN IDOL RECAP; JOSH VS. JESSICA

UPDATE 5/3/12:  WHO GOT VOTED OFF?  YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE IT!

American Idol contestants are almost to the finish line and are working hard to hang on until the finals.  While the remaining five singers all have something special, I am truly hoping it comes down to the BEST OF THE BEST….Josh vs. Jessica.

It would be great to see the male versus female sing-off!  Both Josh and Jessica stepped up their game tonight and have clearly separated themselves from the pack. They both gave great performances and have been solid throughout the competition.

Although Hollie is clearly a great technical singer (and not given her true props…she is incredible), Phil Phillips is creative and a true artist, and Skylar is a solid country singer, it would be shocking if the finals did not include Josh and Jessica.

This season has had some amazing performances and surprisingly enough no real misses.  But if America gets it right, the finale will definitely include the “best of the best”, Josh and Jessica.   This is no disrespect to the other talented singers, just a fact.

According to the recent polls, Jessica is still ahead, but the other contestants are closing in on her…including Josh!  Who will get voted off Idol tomorrow?  Unfortunately, my guess is HOLLIE OR PHILLIP.

On another note, who names their kid PHILLIP PHILLIPS?  I’m just saying.

 

MOTOWN HITS IDOL, YOUNG SINGERS GO BACK IN TIME (VIDEO)

American Idol featured some of the greatest Motown hits tonight.  It’s funny that they want them to sing more current songs, but then give them old songs to sing.  But let’s face it, many of the old Motwown songs were hits and cannot be compared to the new music currently out there.  The singers of that generation had soul and the lyrics had meaning.

Thia Magia tackled ‘Heatwave’ and did a good job, finally lighting up a bit.  She typically looks like she just woke up from a nap.  Jacob Lusk rocked the classic ‘You’re All I Need to Get By’ and he is still at the top of my favorites list.

What do you think?  Should they stick with new music or keep with the oldies?  My vote is for Motown.

Too soon for tonight’s videos, but check out this Jacob Lusk video…he rocks!
