Lauren Alaina - She went with Shania's Any Man of Mine, I was in the kitchen making coffee for my husband and it sounded really blah!! Where's the power, babe? But of course the judges were not harsh on her or she'd throw tantrum on stage. Steven said she kicked ass or translation "I wanna kick your ass, if you keep singing like that". Randy reminded her that she doesn't know how talented she is. Well... that is not our problem, is it? But the most irritating bit of all was her pout during the critique session. Again, you are 16, not 6!
Casey Abrams - He chose Joe Cocker’s “With A Little Help From My Friends” and he did get a little help from some friends onstage. Jennifer didn't know what show she was watching... probably caused by the medicine she took last night and Steven told Casey that he's a rainbow of talent. Perhaps, Steven also took something last night that filled his eyes with rainbow. Casey did okay from many others and I say he'll survive.
Ashthon Jones - The hair wouldn't give you Diana Ross's power, girl! Why in the hell that she picked When You Tell Me That You Loved Me when she could pick something upbeat to show her personality. Randy liked it (cue: roll eyes). Steven still have some confidence in her. You are not his grandfather, Steven! You can actually say something she doesn't wanna listen. And JLo was right. She needs to sing a song that people can sing along with her. And I'm saying this time.. we don't love you, baby.
Paul McDonald - I love the jacket!! And who is Ryan Adam? I shouted a little at first when he said Bryan Adam, but my husband gave me the look and shared a scary trivia. Ryan Adam and Bryan Adam share the same birthdate, but in different years. Paul has sick moves on stage and somehow the audience liked it, I think. Steven loved the character and the rasp in his voice. JLo thinks he's unique and hopes that America gets it and Randy just love Paul the way he is. There's no short of love for Paul McDonald from the judge's table and I think he'd survive another week.
Pia Toscano - There's not much difference than last week's performance though the voice sounded great!. She sang All by Myself by Celine for her father. JLo thought that she topped last week's performance while Randy said she hit the song dead on. Steven wished her Happy International Women Day a few days late and thought she's beautiful...beeeeeauuutiful!! Yeah, we know she is, Steven.... say something else! No problem, she'll get through this week but please please please give us something more (different) next week.
James Durbin - Choosing Paul McCartney's song, James convinced Randy that he can sing. "This man can sing!!", said Randy. Duhhh! Steven knew that this man sang from his heart. I was not impressed though he sang good... I don't know why but there's no love from me for James!
Haley - Blueeeeeeeeeeeeee uuuuuuuuu...left Randy feeling sleepy but Steven loved the yodeling. The song is titled Blue.., of course you are not going to be all orange and sunny. I think Haley's rendition of Lee Ann Rimes was quite entertaining. She'll proceed to next week.
Jacob Lusk - Choosing I Believe I Can Fly by R Kelly, Jacob was clearly over the top of cloud number 17! What I don't understand is the fact that Steven loved it and Randy referred to it as Jacob having a signature sound. Yeah ha!! We can hear him from two mountains away! He will be in the bottom three... take it down 16 notched if you survived this week.
Thia Megia - Oi... how do I start with this one. Rave reviews for last week's performance couldn't be sustained by her rendition of Smile by Michael/Charlie Chaplin. She's so boring, I nearly doze off and missed the other contestants' performances. Randy and Steven both agreed that there're some pitchy problems but all that didn't matter said JLO because..... apparently she sings like an angel. Then, go to heaven already, leave this competition to the mortals!
Stefano Langone - Stefano chose Stevie Wonder's song and he got a double beautiful from Steven! Wow! Double beautiful! Jlo thought he sounded great and Randy told him it's not easy to sing Stevie. All in all, they all loved his performance.. much love last night on the judge's table.
Karen Rodriguez - She sang "I could fall in love with you" by Selena. The whole performance was underwhelming though she looked great with the hair pull back and edgy make up. JLo hoped that she could make it through to the next week. Randy felt sleepy again and the dawg needed some excitement... and Steven felt the same way too. Don't bore the grandpa, y'all!
Scotty McCreery - Sticking to his roots, Scotty chose Garth Brooke's song. Randy said "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" JLo sensed that Scotty has opened up himself to the audience, which is a good thing. And Grandpa Steven muttered something that nobody could understand. Scotty has charm on stage that no other contestants have, I think.
Naima Adedapo - I don't think that her Idol is Rihanna but the fact that she's clever enough to play with the theme was genius. Umbrella ella ella was made a bit reggae. I love the dancing bit though it's too short. And Naima needs to workout! Steven thought that Naima brought a bit of flavor that nobody else brought. Randy made it public that he cares about the pitchy problem, JLO please take the hint. All in all, it's all good for Naima.
My pick for the bottom three are: Ashthon Jones, Karen Rodriguez and Jacob Lusk, and Ashthon is gonna get the boot this week.
