American Idol Season 6

February 28th

Gina Glocksen

This song suited Gina better than her last week’s performance, but I still don’t think she has what it takes to be the American idol. To me, she just isn’t strong enough. I agreed with Simon when he said he was confused as to who she really was.

Alaina Alexander
I’m Not Ready to Make Nice – Dixie Chicks

She started out pretty well. She definitely did a better job than last week, but it still wasn’t very good. The song was a bit too big for her, but considering the difficulty, she did okay. On the bright side, she’s pretty.

Lakisha Jones
Midnight Train to Georgia – Gladys Knight and the Pips

Lakisha dedicated her song to her grandma who is almost ninety years old. I couldn’t believe it when I saw her because she looked so good and healthy. Once again she was very good. She took a different approach from last week, and chose a less upbeat song. I don’t think it was quite as good as last week, but she is still amazing, and is definitely one of the front runners of the competition. Simon said he didn’t like her outfit.

Melinda Doolittle
My Funny Valentine – Frank Sinatra

Her performance was by far the best of the night. There is no way you could find anything wrong with it. As Paula said, the arrangement was amazing, and Simon called her incredible. It gave me shivers.

Antonella Barba
Because You Loved Me – Celine Dion

Once again, her performance was borderline excruciating. I’m not sure what the judges were thinking when they chose her to be in the top 24. She just isn’t near the level that this competition demands. In my opinion, she did a better job than last week, but Simon thought it was worse. You can tell she doesn’t take criticism well.

Jordin Sparks
Reflection- Christina Aguilera

I really liked Jordin’s dress tonight. It was a teal colour and it really suited her. I don’t think she sang as well as she could have, but she is still very good. You can tell she is just such a sweet girl, and is and amazing singer for being only 17.

Stephanie Edwards
Dangerously In Love- Beyonce

I think she did an amazing job for the song that she sang. This song must be extremely challenging to sing, and it was even harder since she had Beyonce’s reputation to live up to. I don’t think many other competitors could have sung that. She did a very good job.

Leslie Hunt
I’m Feeling Good – Michael Buble

I thought the beginning was good, except that it went on a bit too long. She started acapella. It was a good idea, but she just kept it too long. I also didn’t really like the ending. Actually technically I didn’t really like the performance at all.

Haley Scarnato
Queen of the Night

I liked this performance in that we got to see a bit more personality from Haley. However, it wasn’t anything special. I’m not really happy with any of performances. It’s not like her voice is as terrible as some of the others, but there isn’t anything about her that stands out in my mind.

Sabrina Sloan
Whitney Houston

I’d never heard this song before she sang it. It wasn’t my favorite performance, but she definitely has a good voice. I actually agreed with Simon when he said that she was almost on the verge of shouting. She is a top competitor for sure.

I predict that Antonella Barba and Alaina Alexander. Or at least that’s what I hope.
