American Idol TOP 9 - Shocker

I missed blogging last week, don't worry it wasn't because I was in some padded room after Paul landed himself in the bottom three...after this week I will just prepare myself for whatever happens, regardless this season is going to see a lot of careers.

Fast thoughts on performances-

Jacob- Meh, it was nice and he's good when he's tone down but I'm feeling the other contestants much more...sorry someone has to go every week and I'd like to see him go sooner rather than later.

Hailey- Great song choice as the judges have been asking for Joplin, her performance was a lil growly for me...the studio version is much better. She's improving week by week and I'm glad she's sticking around

Casey- Slap happy bassy, I was warned about his facial expressions so feared that watching the performance would ruin the song...wasn't as bad as the warning and I really like what he did with the song. One of my faves on the studio album this week!

Scotty- Stop holding our mic like a flute the damn thing is going to slip out of your finger tips! Good, safe, the girls love him

Pia- Knocked it out of the park vocally, looked stunning and I've come to notice she can only hit those sweet notes if she turns her head up and to the right...seriously go back and watch all her performances! Make a drinking game out of it, I bet you'll be wasted after one song!!!

James- I can't get out of my head how much of an Adam Lambert performance that was, James killed it though...there hasn't been as much talk about him lately but watch out for him

Lauren- Stunning, great vocal...the kid could take it all. I'm not sure if I liked the song choice as it's been done so many times

Stefano- Most improved on the show so far, he has taken the judges points and is clearly working on them. I'm glad he's still around but fear it may only be for a couple more weeks, shame cause he's like my hometown one to cheer for.

Paul- Again proving he's a seasoned performer! Even in the guitar breakdown he's working the crowd and mic. I've always loved the song so to hear him do it was great. Deff put his Paul twist on it and ended the night on a high note.

RESULTS!

Did America get it wrong? YES, vocally Pia is one of the best the Idol stage has ever seen. I'm shocked she went home so soon as there are at least 2-3 that could easily have gone before her and then have the upset happen. Did she fall victim of the young girls and their fast voting fingers....perhaps BUT then why is Lauren still there? Clearly Pia has out performed her each week (as many have said) perhaps Pia wasn't showing enough personality, perhaps people want something a bit different...perhaps the American Voting people are just really stupid, after all we have seen them send home HUGELY successful people like Jennifer Hudson and Chris Daughtry far too early...so you know what that means, this is only the beginning for Pia!

  1. I have never liked her. She has no personality, it was all hooker shoes and tight dresses. I nicknamed her "penis nose" because face it, that thing looks like one. LOL

    YES she can sing, but there just didn't seem much emotion or passion in it... it was all look at me hit this high note in this ballad blah blah boring.

    I agree though, I am surprised she left sooner than Big Gay Homer LUSK or Stefano, because I figured they'd be next. But I was hoping PIA would not win, and am happy she is gone nevertheless.

    I have no idea who the American public will pick to win it, but as you mentioned, and I asked on my Twitter, winning this show hasn't guaranteed success. In fact I'd say the ones who do NOT win, have had more success.

    I'm sure PIA will end up in a Vegas Celine tribute show. LOL

  2. You know who will be opening for her at that Vegas show? Jacob!

    I want to say she had no personality but I guess I open myself up to Idol too much and after seeing her tweets or seeing her a couple times tone it down, toss in a pony and on some glasses I was digging her....but on stage she was just the girl who could sing her ass off, looked amazingly hot (Loved both her looks this week) and the girl who HAD to turn her head up and to the right to hit those notes ;)

  3. I know I am pretty harsh in my judgment of her (and others on the show), but hey she was on a show - to be judged. Americans judged her as being worse than Jacob. That says it all. LOL

    Just because she was "hot" doesn't mean she should be an idol. No one denies she can sing. However a lot of people can sing, doesn't mean they have any real talent to go out there and be an 'artist' and 'sell a show' and be a personality. Pia would do better in a Broadway musical, or as I said a tribute show singing other people's music.
