I was at the basketball game from 8-9 last night, so I missed the first six girls. :( Actually I think I missed the first seven. I recorded it, though, so I'll watch that part tonight and add to my thoughts later. However, based on the recap I saw at the end of the show, I don't think I missed any of the best.
I started watching when Kady Mallory (the Britney Spears impersonator) sang. So from there, here are my thoughts.
* Kady - I thought she sang well, but I was kind of bored. I think Simon was right - she has much more personality when she's doing an impersonation.
* Asia'h Epperson - MAN she had some huge earrings! They hurt my ears just to look at them. But I just love her little peppy personality and she definitely woke me up from Kady's performance. I am a huge Asia'h fan, so I'm glad she did well.
* Ramiele Malubay - I will admit I was not thrilled when she made it into the top 12. Something about her bugged me and I couldn't quite identify it. I was distracted by her hair last night, but I have to say she was a really good singer and she started (only started) to win me over.
* Syesha Mercado - She is probably my favorite in this whole thing and I thought she did the best job of anyone I saw last night. She has the whole package and I hope she sails right through to the end.
* Carly Smithson - I am still not a fan. I don't know if I'm annoyed that she's in there when she already had a chance with a label or what. She kind of scares me - maybe because they keep that showing that clip from her initial audition when her eyes got really wide? But I DO have to congratulate her for saying being sick is not an excuse. GOOD FOR YOU.

I missed it this week! But, California was better! I am sad that half of the contestants are professional singers. That's not fair. Carly, the Bohemian Rhapsody guy, the 16 year old who almost lost his voice for good, the girl who sang Amazing Grace twice... all these people have had record deals or something in the past! NOT cool! I will watch next week, though.
i missed texting you!!!! but i hope you had fun in california!
As I said in the post about the guys, I wasn't as impressed with the ladies. Asia'h and Syesha were the best and they are my favorite ladies. I'm hoping the final four are Asia'h, Syesha, Mike and David A. If they remain this good, and better yet, improve, the winner could be any of these four.
I meant to email you today but just ran out of time!
I thought the ladies got off to a bad start with the first two, but it picked up as the night went on. I agree with Simon I think there are about 7 that are tops 3 guys 4 girls. I think my favorite after seeing both men and women is Michael Johns who went last. I don't like the girl that went last, and maybe I am just being silly but it's kind of unfair that she has already recorded, and what they left out was Randy Jackson was a part of the label that signed her at the time.
I was surprised I didn't think I would like A'isha or Syesha after seeing them in Hollywood, but Syesha was my favorite of the night for sure. That Indiana girl(not the rocking nurse) sure did bomb she might be the first to go.
Tina - I still haven't watched the first hour of the girls. I need to stay home for more than 45 minutes at a time so I can catch up!
Phats - Did last night's explanation make you feel any better about people who had already had contracts?
What other girl is from Indidana that's not the rocking nurse?
And as a follow up - I was perfectly fine with the first four to go.
First time "idol" veiwer and I cheering for Amanda, the biker nurse. I love her voice....
