American Idol S06E15 - Top 20: Top 10 Girls

FINALLY, I'm back to reviewing AI. That was a long hiatus...

Ten girls are left. Not for long, though... We get some banter between the judges and Ryan. I'm bored already.

1) Gina - "Alone" by Heart. Again with the dedication bullshit? Gina dedicates this performance to her boyfriend. Bored. Carrie did this song. It was one of her best performance. And Gina dares try it??? She wasn't bad. She was actually sorta good. Not Carrie good, but good. Randy calls it pitchy to begin with. Paula's stunned-ish. Simon thought it was forced at the end. Randy tries for a LONG time to make fun of Simon's fashion sense, unsuccessfully. Paula doesn't do a better job, either.

COCA COLA! Ryan's got the hots for LaKisha.

2) Alaina - "Not Ready to Make Nice" by Dixie Chicks. She dedicates the song to her mom. Bored. She's really pushing for some sympathy/whatever votes. HAND GESTURES!!! ARGH!!! It was pitchy throughout. The song choice was kinda nice, but she had some enunciation and phrasing problems with it. She ran out of air. It was pretty bad. Randy thought the tuning and pitch went away at the chorus, and thought it was a mess. Paula's comforting. Simon compares it to Randy running in a 100 m race.

3) LaKisha - "Midnight Train to Georgia" by Gladys Knight & the Pips. She's dedicating the song to her grandmother. NICE. GREAT song choice. Remember when Paris sang it last season? Well, LaKisha was even better. It was REALLY good. Great. Fantastic. I L-U-V LaKisha. Randy thought it was HAWT. Paula's mumbling. Simon thought it wasn't as good as last week.

And the Ryan's proving he's gay. He's joined by Simon in the circle of gayness VERY quickly, though. So don't be sad for him. Or perhaps be even sadder?

4) Melinda - "My Funny Valentine" by Mitzi Green. She dedicates this performance to her Gayle's. HUH? This is where previous performances come in to help you - the last to perform this song was Constantine. There's no way in hell this is gonna pale in comparison to THAT... And it doesn't. It's brilliant. Fantastic. Awesome. She's almost too good for this show. Scratch that, She IS too good for this show. Randy called it unbelievable. Paula's applauding. Simon calls in incredible. Melinda's shocked.

5) Antonella - "Because You Love Me" by Celine Dion. She's nervous. She's HOT! She dedicates the song to her brother, Vincenzo. Vincenzo? SERIOUSLY??? She sucks. She's just terrible. But she's HOT. It was really, REALLY awful. It was painful at places. Randy says the song was way too big for her, and the pitch was all over the place. Paula's a moron. Simon thought it just wasn't good enough.

6) Jordin - "Reflection" by Christina Aguilera. She dedicates the song to her younger brother, whose name is apparently Blowjob. I dunno. It was a bit erratic at places, but overall very good. Not Melinda good, or LaKisha good, but very good. She cries. Randy thought it was pitchy at places, but he's very impressed by her. Paula's sick. Simon thought it was excellent, when compared to some of the others.

Kelli will make an appearance in the results show! WOOHOO! Stephanie says the girls aren't competitive.

7) Stephanie - "Dangerously In Love" by Beyonce. She dedicates the song to her parents. Bored. The song sucks. She did what she could with it, but the song REALLY sucked! Randy thought she sang her face off. Paula's drunk. Simon's drunk. He thought it was terrific.

Leslie's awkward as heck...

8) Leslie - "Feeling Good" by Nina Simone. She dedicates the song to her grandfather. This song? Again? The beginning, with the long violin note in the background, was wierd. It picked up a bit, and she ended better than she started, but it was just there. Eh. Meh. Bleh. Whatever. The scatting was terrible. Like REALLY bad. Randy thought it was pitchy. It was just a'ight for him. Paula's stupid. Simon says (LOL!) Paula liked it because the skatting sounded like Paula's talking. BURN! He thought she's getting lost, having followed better performances.

Ryan recites Leslie's skatting. Ha.

9) Haley - "Queen of the Night" by Whitney Houston. She dedicates it to her fiancee. Awww. Bored. Why Whitney? Why would she do that to herself? It was "jumpy", "whore-y", "shouty", "pitchy", "insert not favorable adjective here-y". Not really good. Not at all. SHOCKER! She lied about her fiancee being away! He's right there in the audience! Randy thought it was a more background than lead singer song, and that it wasn't great. Paula's deaf. Simon gives her "A" for effort, thought it was manic verging at insane at points. And that it paled in comparison.

10) Sabrina - "All the Man That I Need" by Whitney Houston. She's dedicating the song to her grandmother. She's arrogant. I hate her. She smiles too much. The song's terrible. She did OK. I really couldn't care, though. The ending sucked. Randy says something about something. Paula's happy. Simon thought she was on the limit of shouting.
