American Idol S02E05 - Top 32: 1st Group of 8

now it gets interesting!

tonight, Kimberly Caldwell, Patrick Fortson, JD Adams, Trenyce, Meosha Denton, Bettis Richardson, Charles Grigsby and Julia DeMato perform, and two of them will move on, depending on how america votes. what a surprise, the producers put kimberly and julia in the same group. it's like they are stll arch-enemies! whatever.

ryan's single, for those of you that are into things like him. the judges aren't really funny. the poor contestants are interviewed by the press. and then have a photoshoot. boohoo. 

1) kimberly - "come to my window" by melissa etheridge. she looks great. she's hot. don't know about the song choice. omg... the hand gestures are back. ARGHGH!@$@#%!@!!!!! she sounds alright.

2) patrick - "un-break my heart" by toni braxton. why the fuck would any guy pick that song? he doesn't look good, or classy, despite what he said in the intro video. never quite on pitch, for me. he shrieked all over the place.  girly voice for the most part. fugly as hell. as long as simon's "not being rude", though... how could they let his father on stage? security? anyone?

3) jd - "all in love is fair" by stevie wonder. the president's here! and i'm so over it. i'm happy to see a guynot sound like a wuss. but he has no stage presence, and is just generally boring. hand gestures. and he really shouldn't smile that much. and we had more than our fair share of initialed people last season.

4) trenyce - "love sneakin' up on you" by bonnie raitt. trenyce is now unemplyed. hand gestures. AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!! she sounds pretty good. but i hated the performance. really. she shouted a bit. and was too growl-y. it ain't sexy if it's always there. paula's in love with her. any other two women in that situation, it's hot. these two after what we just saw, not so much.

5) meosha - "how do i live" by leann rimes. meosha? who calls his/her daughter meosha? didn't realize her only two career options are singing or frog-dissecting. didn't really perform at all. pitch-y, for me. didn't look that good. that falsetto part was just plain bad.

6) bettis - "thank you" by boyz ii men. bettis decided to indulge us with a boyz ii men song. wtf? come to think of it, maybe he did choose the right song. his whole performance stunk, boyband style. for future reference, if you want to succeed on american idol, don't dance. he wiggled his eyebrows. ugh. disgusting. he didn't sing a single note in tune. newsflash: bettis did blow it, and none of them are going to "make it no matter what". they are going to make it if they are good, and doing badly in this competition will only hurt them. he should really, really, really stop moving his eyebrows. really.

7) charles - "overjoyed" by stevie wonder. WHAT IS HE WEARING? pajamas? neo-soul with hip-hop flavour. is that code for boring. HAND GESTURES!!!! ARGH!!!@#&%$!!!! just ok, for me.

coca-cola commercial: group song?!?!?! written by patrick!?!?!?!? whatever...

8) julia - "son of a preacher man" by dusty springfield. she and kimberly are best buds now! of course they are... she's a hair-dresser. i don't think she blinked once during her performance. a very good song choice for her. she's kinda ugly... sounded good. her hand gestures weren't excesive like most, but they were out of place.
