American Idol
Tonight’s mentor was Dolly Parton. The amazing country performer has been in show business 40 years. She has written over 3,000 songs with 25 #1 hits. Look for her new album “Backwoods Barbie”. Country music can be tough. This could prove an interesting week for our contestants.
Let’s break it down from the best to the rest.
Season 7 Week 7 Top 9 American Idol Recap
Michael Johns – “It’s All Wrong, But It’s All Right” – (Dolly said I like his voice) – bluesy, his most creative performance, loved it – Randy said blazing hot performance – Paula said you’re a rock star – Simon said best I have heard you sing in the competition.
David Archuleta – “Smokey Mountain Memories” – (Dolly said he was feeling the emotion, has the voice to become a great singer) – ballad, great connection and emotion, beautifully done – Randy said David Archuleta is back, stand corrected best performance of the night – Paula said beautiful aura, glorious – Simon said this week on the money.
Carly Smithson – “Here You Come Again” – (Dolly said good choice, killed it) – sung as a ballad, clear, beautiful, she’s back – Randy said one of the better performances of the night – Paula said glorious, amazing talent – Simon said good but didn’t think it was great, have a word with whoever is dressing you need to start looking like a star.
David Cook – “Little Sparrow” – (Dolly said seemed secure, voice beautiful) - Kudos to the hair stylist, with his guitar, well done – Randy said another hot consistent performance – Paula said – I like the hair cut, fantastic, false is nice – Simon said not as good as last week, but if you can make a song about sparrows good congratulations.
Syesha Mercado – “I Will Always Love You” – (Dolly said good choice, pretty girl, good singer) – sitting on piano, stylist please help, should have been a home run song for her, started out ok a little pitch problem toward the end – Randy said pretty good ‘ahright’ – Paula said look beautiful, velvety tone, connected with audience – Simon said first part good, second part paled in comparison to Whitney, don’t know if it helped you.
Brooke White – “Jolene” – (Dolled liked her honesty and warmth) – with guitar, earthy and organic, nice – Randy said pitch problems, rushed music, ‘ahright’ – Paula said consistent, put heart and soul in it – Simon said emotion lacking, looked odd together as group, wasn’t one of your better performances.
Kristy Lee Cook – “The Coat of Many Colors” – (Dolly said made it her own) – we all knew country would suit her, nice, good ending – Randy said country your wheel house – Paula said look stunning, your best performance – Simon said last week was your best, pleasant but forgettable.
Jason Castro – “ Travelin’ Thru” – (Dolly found him natural) – with guitar, much better than last few weeks, folksy – Randy said started rough, kinda cool, pretty good, you worked it out – Paula said one of your best performances – Simon said didn’t like it at all, this kind of music doesn’t suit you.
Ramiele Malubay – “Do I Ever Cross Your Mind” – (Dolly said got spunk and personality) – cute, but just not strong enough – Randy said kinda ‘ahright’, 6 ½ out of 10 – Paula said proud of you, great minute and thirty seconds – Simon said cute, sang it quite well, forgettable, see it on a cruise ship.
Who will go home and who will make the Elite 8? Results Wednesday night on Fox with performance by Dolly Parton.
