Semi Finals: Top 10 Girls

So, I was sick as a dog yesterday but still wanted to give my input on the girls performances from last night. Also, given that it was another lack-luster night for the most part, this blog is going to be short, sweet and to the point.

Crystal Bowersox ♪♪♪♪ - What can I say, this girl is incredible.She definitely showed off her powerful voice tonight and it went off without a hitch! She is great!

Katelyn Epperly ♪♪♪♪ - Once again, she tops the night for me. I loved her stripped down performance that simply allowed her vocals to shine through. There were moments when the tone of her voice reminded me a lot of Lady Gaga, when Lady Gaga is just sitting at a piano and singing. I really like Katelyn and unlike Kara, I think versatility is a good thing.


Siobhan Magnus - ♪♪♪♪ - Another incredible performance. Yes, she had a couple pitchy moments but overall she dominated that song, especially when she hit that incredible money note. I am liking Siobhan more and more each week. She is different and she makes me laugh during her interview times and video packages.

Lilly Scott ♪♪♪ 1/2 - She is so unique and funky and brings something so fresh to Idol, I love it. I wasn;t totally sold on her performance this week compared to last, but she did her thing and it worked.

Didi Benami ♪♪♪ - I don't know why the judges were so harsh, I thought she did a good job with the song. Poor girl got ripped apart and I think she was leaps and bounds better than Michelle Delamor (see below) who got rave reviews from the judges. I don't know what they are trying to do this year, but I do not agree with their assessment of Didi at all. Randy, get a grip on yourself homie.

Katie Stevens ♪♪♪ - Katie had another solid performance, but I agree with Kara, I am waiting for her to have her "moment" and the right song choice will do that for her. She seems like quiet a character too based on her video package. Too funny.

Paige Miles ♪♪ 1/2 - I saw a little more of a glimpse into Paige's voice, but still not doing it for me. I did not like her take on Kelly's song either.

Lacey Brown ♪♪ - Oh Lacey, I want to like you and I want to see you do well, but your not bringing it. I find myself nervous for you during the entire performance. I just don't know...

Haeley Vaughn ♪♪ - Still don't get why she is here. She is all over the place with her pitch and there is no connection between herself and the music. Bleh.

Michelle Delamore ♪ 1/2 - I did not like anything about this performance. I am shocked the judges gave her such good reviews. I could not get into her take on this song and it just sounded all over the place. It seemed like she never settled in on the pitch and I could not wait for it to be over! Expected more from her.

So based on my ranking Lacey, Haeley and Michelle are in trouble and Paige isn't out of the dark either. Ultimately though, I think Lacey and Haeley will be the ones to say goodbye. What do you all think? We will find out for sure tonight!
