Best AI S7 Performances…
Cant get enough of American Idol, here are (for me) some of this seasons memorable performances!
#10 Ramiele Malubay’s You Dont Have To Say You Love Me So far this is only the best performance of Ramiele since entering the Top 24. Im saddened for the fact that she has a great big voice, but sometimes choose the wrong song. It reminds me of Jasmine Trias’ Inseperable (which was Jasmine’s only great performance when she joined AI)
#9 Kristy Lee Cook’s God Bless the USA So far her best performance. After being in the bottom 3 twice, last week, this song saved Kristy from striking 3. She’s a pretty girl but she lacks appeal. Try to listen to this performance. Her voice will fit country music more so this week might be her week (Dolly Parton week). Kudos to Kristy!
#8 Carly Smithson’s Total Eclipse of the Heart The arrangement was awesome, but I kindda dont like the ending. But the song really fits her voice. Now that Amanda is out, she can be the rocker chic she’s been portraying herself to be! She has a strong personality and I still believe she’s a strong contender for the title American Idol!
#7 Syesha Mercado’s Saving All My Love For You. So far this was her best performance. She’s the only African American left in the competition (after chikezie’s exit last week) so we expect that the whole Afro Am community will support her all the way! Where’s the love you all are giving Barack, show some for Syesha! She’s really a talented singer and I think she must stay.
#6 Chikezie’s She’s a Woman Very good arrangement. This is the most memorable performance of Chikezie and I will remember him for this one. Full of energy and enthusiasm. Too bad he had to leave the competition. He has a good voice, but lack support from his peers.
#5 Michael Johns’ Bohemian Rhapsody When hollywood week started, his performance of this Queen original stole the show from everybody. Even during his audition, I already predicted he will make it to the Top 12 and he did! He has another song in this list, my #2 favorite performance of the year, We Are The Champions.
#4 David Archuleta’s Imagine Taking on a John Lennon song was really a challenge for someone so young like David Archuleta. But David has been singing since he was a child, what do you expect? He was a Junior Star Search Champion (doesnt that disqualify him to compete in AI) and has been joining several competitions since he was young. He will go a long way in the business. Just stop the lip licking mannerism!
#3 Jason Castro’s Hallelujah OMG, I love this song! He gave a very chilling performance of Jeff Buckley’s song. I love the way his voice projects, its so cool! I was imagining myself walking along New York City at night time with the snow falling. I know he will go far with this voice, he just needs to know how to reinvent himself. Take the guitar off!
#2 Michael Johns’ We are the Champion Last week’s performances were the best performances ever. I picked up four of my Top 10 performances from last week, and this song was one of the most applauded song in the show. If David Cook bombed last week, Michael John’s was the best performance of the night. Sorry Michael, you’ve been outstaged and outperformed by the Cook!
#1 David Cook’s Billy Jean Argurably, the best performance for this season. His best performance to date, David Cook managed to beat the odds, overpowering a solid performance by Michael Johns and capping the night with a wonderful rendition of Chris Cornell’s version of Billy Jean. Although there were some buzz about a certain band accusing Cook of stealing their arrangement of the song and not acknowledging it on the show… Come on man, dont ride on the popularity of the Cook!
