What a sham!
Please don't get me wrong, I thought that David Hernandez was terrible last night.
But Kristy was musically horrifying.
I realize that people like country, but don't they at least want good country? Kristy's, "Eight Days
a Week," massacred two musical genres. Even in her "good performances" she hasn't shown that much range. She's Carrie Underwood light.
I get liking Country music, I don't get liking that.
And David was bad last night, but you know what he's much more talented then Kristy. I have a feeling some of this has to do with the whole gay stripper thing.
Still we lost probably the best male voice in the competition. And in return, we got someone who sitll doesn't get why her performance wasn't musically good.
As for Katherine McPhee, she's a gorgeous girl and she can sing. But while pretty to look at, I thought she was a bit boring.

David Archuleta: I don't like Old Music...
Honestly,I didn't like David Archuleta's comment about how he didn't like "older music." I realize that most 17 year olds don't appreciate older music; however, it seems to me that a 17 year old who wants a career in music, should learn to appreciate different music. No offense David, but a great song remains a great song, no matter whenever it was written or sang..

American Idol: Top Twelve
My Review of Tonight's Idol from Worst to Best
12. Kristi Lee Cook- I'm sorry that was terrible. I felt the arrangment didn't go with what she was singing.
11. David Archuleta- That was terrible. At least Kristi knew the words to her song. And honestly while he seems like a nice kid, I didn't think he really needed to criticize the Beatles music... Plus, honestly the only song I really liked him singing was Imagine, which was amazing and did make me cry. However, other than that I'm just not really thrilled with the breathiness in his voice. However, I think he is capable of much better. I'd still keep him around and kick of Kristi.
10. David Hernandez. I think David has the best voice of all the men, but that was really a terrible performance.
9. Syesha Mercado- I felt she was off key at places and honestly at this stage of the game, you should be able to stay in key.
8. Michael Johns-I didn't care for it. It was boring, and it sounded off key. Although I will give him the fact that I've never heard the song before. So maybe it's just the tune of the song that I don't like.
7. Amanda Overmyer- I thought she screamed most of the song. And I get the whole rock concept, but I felt like that wasn't good rock.
6. David Cook-I felt the first part of the song was terrible. He was clearly struggling to find his pitch. However, the last part of the song was awesome. I think he's the difference between good and bad rock. (Amanda see)
5. Ramiele Malubay-I think Ramiele has a lovely voice, and she was in tune (at least in my opinion) the entire time. She also knew the words of her song. However, I think the judges were right it was boring. I feel like it had no conviction whatsover. In contrast, I think you can look at someone like Brooke White, who doesn't have Ramiele's range, but has conviction and feeling to her singing. I think Ramiele has to let it go and just sing from her heart. And if she doesn't soon, my vote will have to go to someone else. A part of me wonders if this is just an age thing because Ramiele is very young.
BIG GAP
4. Carly-I thought that was a great performance. She really does have a wonderful voice
3. Chikezie-that was awesome. He did a really great job, and he took on a style that was completely different from his own.
2. Jason Castro- I don't know why they didn't like this performance so much. I actually preferred it to last week. Yes, Hallejuah is an amazing song but I wasn't impressed with his voice. However, today I loved his voice, I thought it was really good and I liked how he sang the song.
1. Brooke White. Honestly before tonight I wasn't a huge fan. I think vocally others here have bigger/better voices. However, what I love about Brooke is the feeling that she puts into her music. It was lovely, and I felt connected to her as she sang. I wonder if she also writes her own music, because I suspect that I would enjoy songs she wrote. I think she showed the difference tonight between a reall good technician (Ramiele) and an artist. I loved it.

American Idol: Ramiele Rocks
Honestly, After season two, I began to get a little bored with American Idol. I mean the same bland songs, with different so-so singers. Sure on every season there may be one or two good singers, but that's about it.
However, somehow I managed to get an opportunity to hear Ramiele sing, and I must say that I absolutely love the girl. I know in the last two weeks her performances haven't been great. But I love the way she sings. She has this huge voice but she actually sings with feeling rather than in a show offy way.
I know everyone is going nuts over David Archuleta, but I think Ramielle has the better voice.
So I was digging through youtube and I found this clip of Ramielle singing Celine Dion, and this girl is singing it like it's as easy as breathing. She truly has a great voice
