American Idol Season 6

Wednesday, March 7th

Jordin Sparks

Heartbreaker - Pat Benatar

I really liked Jordin’s performance tonight, but I didn’t think she got the credit she deserved from Simon. I’m sure that this is a really hard song to sing, and she did it so well. It was energetic and fun and it showed a lot of personality. Simon said it sounded a bit shreeky, but then he also said that she would definitely be here next week.

Sabrina Sloan

I wasn’t pleased with Sabrina tonight. Paula really complimented her voice, but I think it was extremely shaky and very pitchy in places. I really liked the song though, but I don’t think she did it justice. It also sounded like she was just screaming during a lot of it.

Antonella Barba

This week, Antonella picked a song that suited her voice a lot better. However, it was still pretty terrible. The way she sang tonight was nowhere near the level that American Idol demands. It kind of sucks because she is the worst singer in the competition, but she never gets voted out. I think the only reason she managed to make it though each round is by her looks, and perhaps the fact that there are suggestive pictures of her on the internet.

Haley Scarnato

If My Heart Had Wings – Faith Hill

I thought this was another bad performance. It was an odd song choice, and she couldn’t pull it off. I have a feeling that she doesn’t really understand how to improve, because she has yet to choose a perfect song for her. It was so boring.

Stephanie Edwards

Stephanie has an amazing voice, but there is something that bothers me about her, and that is that she is too typical. She sounds almost identical to Beyonce, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but we already have a voice like that in the industry. Another problem I have with her is that she takes a song, and sings it exactly the way it is. There is no originality to it, and that worries me.

Lakisha Jones

I Have Nothing - Whitney Houston

Once again, she had an amazing performance. It probably wasn’t her best performance ever, but it was still amazing. You never see her make mistakes, and it’s really rare to find a person who alwaya has a good performance. The judges all really like it.

Gina Glocksen

Call Me When You’re Sober – Evanescence

I thought this was a much better song choice for Gina. It was a bit more rock, which I think really suits her. However, it’s a pretty hard song, and she didn’t sound near as good as Evanesence. Overall though, I thought she did a decent job. There were a few pitchy spots, but she has potential.

Melinda Doolittle

W-O-M-A-N

This performance was just so fun. You could tell she really had a good time with it, and that made the whole thing that much better. For me, Melinda is the most consistent girl of the bunch (and perhaps Lakisha too.) As the competition goes on, I can’t wait to see what Melinda will do next. She is amazing.
