'American Idol' Recap Top 36 Week Two
It's week two of the Top 36 performances. Let's break down the performances.
Well, first let's again start with the clothes. Ryan Seacrest looks like he should be teaching English at West Beverly High School, not hosting a national TV show seen by 25 million-plus viewers. Paula Abdul is rocking some cleavage tonight but the gray does mesh well with Simon Cowell's drab colored and super thin T-shirt. He's worried about the lighting on the set but not about wearing a sloppy looking shirt? I wonder what sport Randy Jackson lettered in for that sweater? I have no idea what Kara DioGuardi is wearing. All I see is hair.
Jasmine Murray - I zoned out. I hate that song. The radio overplayed it and Jasmine's less than stellar singing tonight made me like it even less.
Matt Giraud - Did we ever see this kid before tonight? I think if you had lack of airtime you should just put it right out there in the taped piece so I know. Is it just me or does this kid look just like Justin Timberlake? Maybe he should have chosen "Cry Me A River" instead of a Coldplay song.
Jeanine Vailes - Who? Have we seen this girl either before tonight? So she sang "This Love" by Maroon 5. Bad from the word "Ohhhhhh" but those legs holy cow! Move over Haley Scarnato. At least she looks great for her age. I was shocked when she said she was 28. All the begging she did on stage after the judges destroyed her won't save her tonight.
Nick Mitchell - If you vote for this guy, I will personally come to your house and slap you silly. I don't get it. Why would they put this kid in the Top 36? The funny thing is I think somewhere in there he can actually sing. Kara got a zinger in their on Simon. "You wear the same shirt every week like Simon." Good one.
Hey did anyone notice they lost the whole "meet the parents" schtick this week? Smart move.
Allison Iraheta - Sixteen looks a lot different nowadays then it did when I was a kid. I have a feeling this girl has sung this song in her bedroom with a shampoo bottle a million times. She nailed it. Fantastic. I knew someone would make a Kelly Clarkson comparison.
Kris Allen - Again, Who? OK, I think I have figured this whole thing out. Now that they have this whole Top 36 format, the producers clearly gave no airtime to a large group of contestants to ensure the contestants they wanted to make Top 12 do. Simon? Are you OK? You actually liked that dorky rendition of "Man In The Mirror." Well, that at least ensures him a spot in the Wild Card round.
Megan Corkery - Adorable. The singing - really good. The dancing - dorky. Does anyone else think this girl is a perfect cross between Lauren Conrad, Reese Witherspoon and Fergie? We just need to work on her posture.
Matt Breitzke - He's like one of those guys that when you are out at a karaoke bar and he gets up and sings you are like, "Holy crap he's a good singer." Zero star quality though.
Jessie Langseth - Boring and her talkback with the judges was annoying. Bye bye.
Kai Kalama - Another song I hate. I fast-forwarded through it.
Mishovanna Henson - She sounded really good despite the judges ripping her for being "too old" sounding but with only one spot for a female and one for a top vote getter I think she may have a hard time beating Megan and Allison to the Top 12.
Adam Lambert - Wicked! Forget Alec Baldwin. Adam's the oldest Jonas Brother! But... Edward Cullen his is not. Please.
Predictions:
Adam Lambert
Allison Iraheta
Megan Corkery
Wildcard - Jasmine Murray, Nick Mitchell, Mishovanna Henson
