Chaska Herald - American Idol: Top 8 Ladies are lackluster - Comments

For the past two weeks, I've had to put the Tuesday and Wednesday AIs on the DVR and then haven't had a chance to watch till Thursday -- then I have a boy-girl-elimination show marathon without a whole lot of time to think about who should go.

Kady was no surprise, but I don't remember Asia'h singing poorly enough to get the boot (I would have expected Syesha to go before her after this week's song choices).

And, even though I'm a fellow Hoosier, I don't really get the draw to Amanda Overmyer, either. Even if I thought she was a great singer, I have a hard time getting past the Cruella Deville hair -- but don't tell her I said that because I think she could probably beat me up ;-)

No surprise here - Kady

No surprise here - Kady Malloy is the first to get the boot tonight. She is followed by Asia'h Epperson. I guess Kristy Lee Cook could get her 10th place finish after all.

Where was I when they passed

Where was I when they passed out the Amanda Overmyer Kool-aid? I clearly missed that week, because I think all of her performances have been terrible. She sounds like a 60-year-old woman who's smoked three packs a day her whole life. And she shouts. And she has no performance skills. She never looks at the camera, and she always looks nervous. I just don't get the hype.

As for positives, I really enjoyed Brooke's performance. I love that song, and she brought her own style to it. Bravo, Brooke!

I liked Carly's performance, but like Mollee, I wonder about those pants. Show off the tats, that's fine. But those were not the right pants for any outfit.

I also agree with your choices to go home. Kady and Kristy...your time is up!

Ok, on instant playback, I

Ok, on instant playback, I have to say I was a bit harsh on Amanda. I just had my heart set on something else for her to sing and was blinded (deafened) by my disappointment.
Also, Carly's pants were horrible. The end.

American Idol: Top 8 Ladies are lackluster

Sigh. The guys provided so many interesting performances last night that the women were a major disappointment tonight. Mostly boring song choices. Did these girls listen to music in the 80s? Some of them were alive then.

The final six ladies will have a tall order next week when they tackle the Beatles catalog. It's not a theme night that lends itself to women as much as it does the guys and coming off the week the guys just had, they could run away with the show yet again.

What did you think?

Here are my thoughts:
