American Idol - Top 36 - Week 3

When I sat down tonight to watch AI via DVR - I thought - as I always do - How will I ever narrow 12 people down to 3. And, as it has happend the last two weeks - it just wasn't that hard. What are these kids thinking?!?

I am not even going to waste my time typing about the performances I considered unworthy. I am cutting to the chase. In no particular order - here are the 3 folks I think will make it through to next week - plus one alternate.

Ju'not Joyner: Sang "Hey There Delilah" but the Plain White T's - I first thought this was too slow - as it sounded slow like a ballad - but in the end - I was liking it alot. The judges all liked it. Mike (my hubby) said it was his favorite of the night.


Felicia Barton: Sang "No One" by Alicia Keyes - I loved Felicia. She LOOKS like a recording artist. The judges thought she is amazing, hot, best look, had attitude and presence, very talented, glad they brought her back to the contest. Simon wasn't as enthusiastic. Mike liked her!

Lil Rounds: Sang "Me Without You" by Mary J Blige - I said she looks great, dressed great, worked the crown and has a GREAT voice. The judges - Randy said "Hands down best of season 8, kept swagger, great vocals, loved it!; Kara called her a powerhouse and can't wait to see her next week; Paula said "First Class!" Simon's mouth was hanging open and he commented "Brilliant!! Favorite performance - once of the best on Season 8"


Jamie's Alternate choice:

Scott MacIntyre
I really was pulling for Scott when I heard him sing. But, in my opinion - the other 3 really performed so much better. I don't think Scott will make it through - even as a wild card.

The other 8 singers - they just were not good. Go home.
