Idol Perfromances Part Deux

Jasmine Murray: 17-year-old girl part of the "Divas" singing group during Hollywood week. Picked a song that could not have fit her vocal regsiter less. Next.

Matt Giraud: Promising Dueling Piano player who picked Viva La Vida to sing. At first I thought, hey, this could a Blake Lewis style organically original performance! Well the judges didn't dig bit and neither did I. I like him, but something about his speaking voice irks me. And his Elliot Yamin teeth.

Jeanine Vailes: Terrible. No wonder we never have heard her sing in clips yet.

Norman Gentile: I like his schtick, but I don't find it particularly funny. I just find it weird, and AI can flourish with a little weird.

Alison Iraheta: I didn't get to see it, but I heard it was great! Lil' Kelly Clarkson in training?

Kris Allen: What's this, a cute boy? HMMMmMMMMMMmmmmmmM. Actually, he's not really my type, but I've been clamoring for some eye candy, and he gave me somma dat and lot more talent too! Was a confident little cub in his performance of Man in the Mirror. Can he make it through despite lack of airtime?

Megan Joy Corkerey: Anyone notice the "Joy" inserted to her stage name? Anyway, right song, right look, and dare I say it--right Utah Mom demographic with a little Tattoo Street Cred mixed in to give her that extra vote push.

Matt Breitzke: I didn't think it was so bad--I love Tonic too! Sure, he was a little hammy onstage, but what do you expect from an amateur performer of his disposition?

Jesse Langseth: Single Mom Part a Million this season. Was cool as a cat for singing Bette Davis Eyes, but Simon's right, not a big enough song to get people excited.

Kai Kalama: Yes, corny. He's not making it through.

Mishannova Henson: Weird song choice, and yes, she does seem 28 and not 18.

Adam Lambert: Well isn't he the little star of the show! The Broadway Beauty belted some Rolling Stones' Satisfaction and was some hot shit. Is this Producers' Pet a definite lock, or he is too ahead of the time for this show? Potentially Freddie Mercury type of performer?

Safe Predictions:

Adam, Megan Joy, annd...Alison?
