American Idol - Top 12 Girls

Currently Listening To: Florence and the Machine - Howl

It's official, the girls are much better than the guys this year.
Sadly I'm still not inspired to support anyone in particular, male or female.
This season is so much better than the last, and it's only the Top 24! Promising.

Anyway, moving on - lemme start with the ugly cos that's the easiest...

The Ugly:
Tatynisa was a trainwreck, singing Rihanna's Only Girl. For American Idol? Seriously?!! Insane decision and it shows. The worse performance for both nights.

Rachel was a trainwreck too. I don't know what to say about that one other than it really sucked.

Really disliked Julie's performance too. I can't remember anything about it, again other than the fact that it sucked.

The Mediocre: Haley, Karen, Ashton and Naima were okay. Nothing bad about their performances, but they weren't fantastic or interesting either.

As for the Good...in no particular order:
Boring Kendra turned out to be quite good. Decent song, decent performance AND she's pretty. Might get into the Top 10 if she's lucky enough.

I still think Lauren Turner's the better Lauren, even though she isn't very...attractive. Let's hope her voice is good enough for the Americans, otherwise she won't be making it through to the next round. Great voice, solid performance.

Lauren Alaina on the other hand...well, she is good but something about her just seems off. Is she really 15?? She seems so much older. Sorta like a more precocious and annoying version of Allison Iraheta. And you know what, Allison is so much better!

Another surprising one was Pia. She was soooooo under the radar but when she hit the big stage, she totally nailed it. Much better than some of the other over-hyped contestants (Seriously? The ones listed in bad and mediocre should be eliminated based just on their performances tonight).

Thia Megia was also okay, but I noticed that she couldn't really hit any of the high notes. Powerful voice, most certainly. However, I thinks she's a bit like the Scotty McCreery of the girls - not much of a range.

~.~

I guess 14 contestants will be eliminated tomorrow, and then a wild card round to round up the Top 12. Good luck to everyone, they will definitely need that.
