each contestant will sing twice: first, a song of their choice, and then a song chosen for them by the judges.
question: if they already did 10 songs in an hour, why not do three songs a piece, for a total of nine?
first round - idol's choice:
1) nikki - "edge of seventeen" by stevie nicks. nikki's mom is a white trailer trash. and nikki works at a karaoke bar, which for some reason i didn't know until now. hear that? that's the final piece of the puzzle shoved into place. NOW everything makes sense to me. nikki sings stevie (or nikki sings nicks-y?), and it's actually a great choice of song. didn't sound terrific, but then again i don't she CAN sound terrific. it was a'ight. you know what, it was more than a'ight. it was kinda good.
didn't know stevie nicks won american idol...
2) justin - "let's stay together" by al green. i thought that little kid meant justin should shake his hair. he's destroying the youth of america. i hate him. "going back to philly", but it says he's from doylestown... the return of the falsetto. i hate him. he's doing his whole "i'm doing this so that 12 year olds will vote for me a million times each" thing. i hate him. his voice crackeld (YAY!!!!). i hate him. vocally ok. i hate him. because of everything i've written, worst yet.
paula's an idiot. phenomenal is one word. simon: "what's your name? randy, right..." LOL brian really is useless.
3) kelly - "without you" by badfinger. she's so cute. loved the phrasing at the beginning. everything was great, and on point. not too much, not too few. brilliant. miles ahead of the other two. and unlike those other two (who are they again?), she chose a song that, at least for me, isn't instantly connected to an artist/band/whateva, so it didn't sound like a copycat/karaoke/impersonation. it's so cute how she's surprised that everyone thinks she's the best.
the giddy brian called the giddier ryan giddy. ooooookaaaaayyyyy...

second round - judges' choice:
1) nikki - "black velvet" by alannah myles. pretty good song choice for her. it, again, was a bit better than a'ight. kinda good. but then she had to make excuses. hmph...
2) justin - "don't let the sun go down on me" by elton john. why is he wearing a suit? at least he didn't falsetto... other than the creepy smile at the end, i have nothing good or bad to say about his performance, so i'll say this - i hate him.
we see some baby pictures and childhood memories of the top 3 contestants. i think justin's mom meant "special" special, as in autistic special.
3) kelly - "think twice" by celine dion. haha, brian messed the introduction. "without you" was her choice for the first song... again miles ahead of the other two (seriously, who are they again?). not her best, above average kelly, but that's still great.

the wierdest thing just happened. i wrote kelly in the number one spot, and then accidently kelly again in the number 29 spot, quickly realised and erased, and then accidently wrote kelly in the number 30 spot, quickly realised and erased. maybe it's because she made the other two (serisouly, who the fuck are they?) look like amatures being booed off at a karaoke bar, maybe nikki's karaoke bar.
you may ask why 29 and 30, and well the answer to that is that while kelly has gotten to the top 3 by improving most every week, at task that at times seemed impossible, the other two (jokes aside now, seriously, who are they?) are stuck at "vote me to the top 10" mode, where we had 30 people vying for your vote.
LOL at simon choking paula... LOL
