American Idol Round of 10: A Horseplayer's Perspective

[somerfrost]

Well, once again, I largely agree with Brian...disagree with Buffy...my rankings, bottom to top:
10) Sanjaya...not that it matters but just awful, Perry Como without the talent and with a what? Rooster Doo??
9) Chris S...a trainwreck, this kid doesn't take the competition seriously, no wonder he sent a shoutout to votefortheworst.com!
8) Chris R...well, he chose a good song but agree with Simon, vocal was shaky.
7) Phil...does he remind you of Sting? He reminds me of a guy with limited vocal range.
6) Blake...he finally actually sang a song, looked in pain most of the time...and I was too!
5) Lakisha...As always, nothing wrong with that powerful voice but the performance was lifeless and that dress...great muppety Odin that dress!
4) Haley...ok, she toned down the look (but still managed to contrast those legs with black...what legs!). It was a safe performance but I like her voice and I enjoy watching her sing, even when the camera shot is waist up.
3) Jordin...poor song choice I thought but she was cute enough to pull it off, vocals strong as always, she had fun.
2) Gina...looked hot and sang great!! Big voice and right song to show it off! I agree with Simon...her best and second best tonight!
1) Melinda...she does indeed live the song, she is at home on stage and delivers every week...hard to see her losing this competition!
