Top 24...week 1...the singing

****Sounds like there is 3 weeks till the top 12 perform, so I believe March 16 will be the first night of the top 12. Soooo...sounds like the party needs to be March 12...I will send out evites in the next week or so...but put that date on the calendar*****

On with the shows:

It's Wednesday...I'm just watching the girls...then I'll see the boys. So far I am not so impressed with these girls. I have some that I REALLY don't like...the rest I am ho-hum about.

Paige...she has a strung voice...but whatever.

Ashley...I have liked this girl since day 1...but not my fav performance of hers.

Janell...this was a mess...she should have sung a song like she did in Hollywood...with her guitar.

Lilly...I actually liked this performance a lot...Probably my favorite of the night...is that weird?

Katelyn...her hair is BIG...her singing is fine.

Hailey...this girl has BUGGED since day 1...I have always thought she sounded out of tune...and once again a mess...please vote her off.

Lacey...I LOVE "Landslide" but that wasn't good, which is too bad 'cause I like her.

Michelle..."Fallen"...oh girl..you don't sing Alicia...I definitely did not enjoy her arrangement...but overall it was just okay for me.

Didi...I like this song too...her out fits SUCKS. Seems like a good song choice for her...but it sounds just like the original song. I do like her voice.

Siobhan (what?)...she's a weird chick and she sings through her nose...and David says she messed up the words....he just googled it and she said "need" instead of "meet"...he's pissed about it:) and I want to yank that nose ring out.

Crystal...I have liked this girl...oh...this is a good song. She's a mix of Tracy Chapman and Joan Osborne. I like her. David says if you are standing up there with a harmonica and guitar you should go to a bar...the judges say a coffee shop...same diff. I hope America keeps her...we need her on the show.

Katie...I like this girls voice a lot...it's funny, though, 'cause as soon as she was done I KNEW they were going to tell her that she is only 17 and needs to sing 17 year-old songs...that she sounds WAY older then she is. The only problem...her voice just sounds older then she is, so I think that she will struggle with that throughout.

---The Boys---

Todrick...oh...do you remember his first song? He sang about AI and the judges, etc...it was cool. "Since you been gone"...hmmmm....It's Bel Biv Devoe (I LOVE them)..I totally LOVE it...completely different...way to "take a risk". Very cool! Randy...jam it! These kids can never win..."too safe" "endulgent"...blah blah blah. If you have love for bel biv devoe you will have love for Todrick.

Aaron...I can't believe this kid made it...his eyebrows are buggin'...we call eyebrows like that "Pretty" in my house (it's not a good thing). He sounds terrible. Wow judges...guess we don't agree on this one.

Jermaine...yes sir...you did look like a fool...I didn't realize he made it. Ho hum...his outfit sucks too. He's cocky I think...and he's wearing skinny pants...have I professed my distaste for skinny jeans here? If I haven't, let me just tell you...skinny jeans are not attractive and I wish they were taken out of society...I'm sorry, are we talking about singing here? I'm glad the judges didn't really like it either...

Tim...oh...he's the one that was cut and brought back. David hates his hair...this is a good song. Nana T will agree that David A did a WAY better job...this kid is kinda slaughtering it...he CANNOT hit those falsetto notes. Well...thanks for coming back...I think you shall be heading home to Texas.

Joe...this is not good either...guess, again, I heard something completely different...

That 70s guy...he so bugs me...ohhh shocking...he's sing a 70s song...even has the Steven Tyler sash (around his neck not the mic stand...but same diff.)....David just gave me "the look" then stated, "I hope this year doesn't suck"...here's to hoping.

Lee...I like this kid...I did not like that performance...too bad, I was hoping for better. WHAT? I guess I didn't hear what Simon heard...I'm really glad that Simon liked him and I do hope he does well...I'm just surprised.

Jon...this guys voice is GREAT...I hope he does well. Ohhhh...he's nervous. weird song choice...

Michael...I don't really like him...it was an ok performance. Too late "E"...he is already cocky!

Alex...does he have mullet? and thanks for the clip to remind me how much I can't stand that Mary chic. Oh...please cut his hair. Ho hum again! Oh "E" don't encourage the hair.

Casey...I mean Kara's boyfriend....sick...I'm telling you...Paula/Corey...it's not good. He sounds terribly nervous too. It really was unfair (and I don't really care for him) but how distracting for him during the song...the whole Kara thing is A-nnoying. I love Simon...:)

Andrew...David LOVES this kid...he really is amazing and I hope he does good! When he puts out an album I hope they record his version of Paula's song...he really is so great...I love his voice...BOOOOO Simon....BOOOOO! Ellen actually clarified things for all of us...

That's it...first week down...besides Andrew, I don't really care who makes it....

See you tomorrow for the first 2 people that will be going home...No tears will be shed at the Thompson house...and as I listen to the recaps this is confirmed even more....what the crap with the singers this year...?

T...isn't March 16th a Tuesday? And didn't we discuss that AJ, Blueroserider and Paco won't be able to make it on a Tuesday because of school? I'm down with whatever, but maybe we could do the part on the 17th and watch the show from both nights? We could watch Tuesday's show first, then vote, then watch who gets kicked off first immediately after. Just a thought...

T, thanks so much for your comments. I really enjoy checking out your blog after each episode of AI. Everyone seemed so nervous (guys as well as girls), so I'm looking forward to the next few weeks when things will hopefully smooth out. You were definitely right about Tim's performance of "Apologize." He basically slaughtered the song (not to mention the hair). I'm definitely ready for the upcoming ride!
