I can't help myself. I was going to blog about this last night. Is it me or is the new American Idol this year the best one ever? The contestants are really very talented. My mom wants James to be her grandson! James Durbin is a lot of Rock-n-Roll and a little bit Blue's-Pop...And we love it. James sang Bon Jovi- "I'll be there for you" last night. Lauren Alaina is another favorite, she's sweet, humble and I love how comfortable she seems up on stage. Lauren sang "I'm the only one" by Melissa Etheridge! Paul McDonald is already a star. He has this star quality about him, as if he's already a star and I'm wondering why he's on American Idol when he should already have an album out. He has a raspy voice and can pull off just about anything. He sang "I guess that's why they call it the blues" by Elton John. My husbands favorite and mine as well is Casey Abrams. He has a red beard and lots of hair! He is I would have to say, the most talented one there. He plays various instruments and last night he rocked Nirvana- Smells Like Teen Spirit. He's funny, talented, not afraid to take risks and he doesn't take himself too seriously. And I love it when Jennifer Lopez calls him sexy! Then there is Scotty McCreery with his southern charm. He can make anyone love country!He sang "Can I trust you with my heart" by Travis Tritt. I think a lot of girls would love to have that chance! Then there is Stefano Langone and his sly smile he has a wonderful voice and charm. Last night Stefano sang "If you don't know me by now" by Simply Red and he did a great job singing it!
PiaToscano sang "Where do broken hearts go" by Whitney Houston and I thought Pia needed to put more soul into it. It was way too much of a ballad for me. Karen Rodriguez sang "Love will lead you back" by Taylor Dayne and that was a bit of a mistake, because Taylor Dayne has a very powerful soulful voice. Not the right choice for Karen. Naima Adedapo is my youngest daughter's favorite. I was pulling for her, but she sang "What's love got to do with it" by Tina Turner and her pitch was very off. Thia Megia is wonderful but I feel may be too young for this competition; she needs to grow a little more to fully understand how to capture an audience. Haley Reinhart seems too nervous all the time when she performs and hasn't been able to find her nitch. Jacob Lusk has a powerful voice, but his performances are so emotional it drains me out to see him perform. He sang "Alone" by Heart great song!
So my votes go to Paul, James, Stefano, Scotty, Casey, and Lauren. We will see what will unfold tonight.
