American Idol 7 - Top 10 Results

Another results night, another chance for a big shock elimination. But first, we must shamelessly plug the songwriting contest. Once again: 25,000 entries last year and “This Is My Now” was the best they could do?
 
The group performance tonight is “Right Back Where We Started From.” Talk about cheesy. The choreography is even more cringe-worthy than usual… but it’s also somehow amusing.
 
Now it’s time for some footage of the contestants in the studio, recording their full-length tracks- too bad this turns out to pretty much be one giant iTunes commercial. That’s followed by a recap of last night, which is always an excellent time for a potty break.

American Idol 7 - Top 10

Welcome to “Songs From The Year You Were Born.” Isn’t this pretty much just 80s week all over again, for the most part? Oh well.
 
Ramiele Malubay, who was born in 1987, opens the show with “Alone.” Why would she choose this song after Carrie Underwood did so well with it in season 4? This is practically suicide. She does start off fairly well, by her standards… but then by the time she reaches the chorus, we remember why we’re always saying she’s not suited to power ballads. Her voice just is not big enough for songs like this one. And for the love of all that is good, we KNOW she’s sick- we don’t have to hear it 400 times during the judges’ commentary. Our rating: 5/10

American Idol 7 - Top 11 Results

Tonight we find out who’ll be on the tour. The suspense is killing us.
 
To open the show, we find out that this season’s mentors will be Dolly Parton, Mariah Carey, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Neil Diamond. Hopefully this means they won’t be doing it every week, because it got old fast last season.
 
Now, we’re on to the songwriting competition. Seacrest tells us that last year, they had 25,000 songs entered. Does he mean to tell us that out of 25,000 songs, “This Is My Now” was the best they could do? That’s a little scary.

American Idol 7 - Top 11

Round two of Lennon/McCartney, except this week we’re calling it Beatles week and including a few George Harrison songs as well. Are we supposed to think this is a new theme this way? Anyway.
 
Amanda Overmyer opens the show. This is good, we can get it out of the way early. She sings “Back In The USSR” and it’s nothing new. She’s still alternating between screaming and mumbling. She’s still staring at the floor while she performs. She’s still boring and off-key. And to top it off, she makes the statement that ballads are boring and she wants to show people she’s “fun.” Guess we must have missed that. Our rating: 4/10
 
While we’re at it, let’s get the other low point out of the way. Kristy Lee Cook is next, singing “You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away.” The very first note she hits is off-key, and she never gets much better. What happened to the girl who did so well in her original audition? We haven’t seen her do well at all since then. Tonight, we feel like we’re listening to a warped record. Our rating: 3/10

American Idol 7 - Top 12 Results

Now it’s really down to the wire- just a couple more weeks until the contestants have a guaranteed spot on the Idol tour. Hopefully America starts getting it right.
 
The show opens tonight with a performance by the top 12. We’ve missed these performances, since we didn’t see many of them last season- but unfortunately, this one’s not very intriguing. And, of course, we’re subjected to a shot of Sanjaya Malakar sitting in the audience at the end of the performance. Like we didn’t see him enough last year.

American Idol 7 - Top 12

The top 12 has officially started, with new opening credits and a new, bigger stage. Very exciting stuff. It’s also exciting that tonight will be the first night we get to hear songs from the Lennon/McCartney songbook performed on the show.
 
Syesha Mercado performs first tonight. She chooses to sing “Got To Get You Into My Life.” It’s a fun, upbeat song, which is something we’ve been waiting to hear from her, but unfortunately it doesn’t go terribly well for her. She’s quite off key throughout the performance, and the music drowns her out several times. This could really mean trouble for her during tomorrow’s elimination. Our rating: 6/10

American Idol 7 - Top 16 Results

Finally, the night of the top 12 unveiling has arrived. Hopefully America gets this one right, eh?
 
Last year’s runner-up Blake Lewis opens the show with a performance from his album. It’s great to see him on the Idol stage again; he’s so entertaining!
 
To begin the announcement of the top 12, David Cook, David Archuleta and Jason Castro are all informed that they are safe. This is no surprise.

American Idol 7 - Top 8 Girls

The girls, as usual, were just not as good as the guys this week, overall. We can hardly wait to find out who makes the top 12!
 
Asia’h Epperson sings first tonight. Her song choice is “I Wanna Dance With Somebody,” which seems to be a good one for her. She sounds better than she has in past weeks, and she seems more comfortable… but there’s still not really anything unique or stand-out about her. It still annoys us that she doesn’t enunciate very well. Our rating: 7/10
 
Next is Kady Malloy, who feels she has something to prove after last week, when she was in the bottom three but stayed safe, meaning Alaina Whitaker was eliminated instead. We’re not convinced she’ll survive another cut this week. She sings “Who Wants To Live Forever.” The song is WAY too slow and she sings it WAY too low-pitched. We find ourselves depressed by the end of the song. She does hit a couple of great notes about halfway through the song, but overall, the song is not good. Our rating: 5/10
