Blogging the Idols - Top 12

I was on vacation last week and wasn't able to watch the Idol until tonight. So while I already know who was evicted (see ya Karen), I'm still going to blog this for you...or maybe just for me. Whatever...here we go...

Number one: Naima - What's Love Got to Do With It?

I'm sorry, but if you don't have Tina's legs, then you shouldn't even try to sing Tina's song. I don't get this girl. What is with the outfit? Yuck. And yeah...she really can't sing. Had to fast forward.

Number two: Paul - I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues

I'm sorry, but I just don't like his voice. What is that style exactly? I'm trying to get it, I really am, but I'm failing. And now I'm fast forwarding. Sorry Paul.

Number three: Thia - Colors of the Wind

OMG, she was born in 1995??? I'm gonna try to get past that. Her cause wasn't helped by how much I hate this song...and normally I'm a HUGE Vanessa Williams fan, but this song is from a bad movie and it's all tainted. However...she can sing. Yes. I'm a fan of her performance. You go young one. You go.

Number four: James - I'll Be There For You

It's hard for me to hear (or see) anyone else sing a Bon Jovi song, because no one will ever be good enough. James was okay, but mostly he just made me wanna go find the video of the original song so I could see Jon singing. Not a huge fan of this, but better than Naima and Paul. Not sure that's saying a whole lot though. 

Number five: Haley - I'm Your Baby Tonight

Oh dear. No. Just no. She is too young to be singing this. Do.Not.Like. Fast forwarded. Unless you're Whitney Houston, you shouldn't be singing a Whitney Houston song. That is all.

Number six: Stefano - If You Don't Know Me By Now

Pretty sure this was done by someone else before Simply Red but I can't remember who. Always liked it. Okay. I'm liking this. Yeah. He can sing. Oh, was it Billy and the Beaters that it did it before? I realize I could look it up but I'm just counting on one of you knowing. He's definitely the best of the night so far. No question about that. Oh, Harry Melvin and the Blue Notes...thanks Randy...

• Side note one: What is up with J Lo's giant hair?
• Side note two: The men are like 100 times better than the women.
• Side note three: I just don't need to know everyone's back story. If we got rid of those, this show could be an hour instead of two. Just saying.

Number seven: Pia - Where Do Broken Hearts Go?

Oh dear...another Whitney song? I'm scared. Oh no. No no no. First of all, that outfit? Ouch. Second of all, see my prior comment about Whitney songs. Are you Whitney? Okay then. Third of all, she still just bugs me. Fast forwarding.

Number eight: Scotty - Can I Trust You With My Heart?

Oy. 1993? These peeps are making me feel old. I think he can sing, but I just can't do the country music. I just don't like it. Nope. Can't do it. Had to fast forward. Sorry Scotty.

Number nine: Karen - Love Will Lead You Back

OMG. What is she wearing??? I'm kind of scared of it; like that bun could take me out and those earrings could be used as handcuffs. I'm totally distracted by the outfit. Her singing's rather meh, but not as bad as some others. From what I've seen so far, she's not the one I would have voted off. I'm still gonna fast forward because I don't need to hear any more to know it's not gonna get any better.

Number ten: Casey - Smells Like Teen Spirit

Ugh. I seriously hate this song. I'm scared. Okay, kinda love that he's playing the bass. And he's actually not bad. Not nearly as annoying as Cobain. In fact, I can actually understand the words. Still hate the song, but he's not bad at all. In fact, he's pretty stinkin' good. Not my favorite, but probably the second best so far in my mind.

Number eleven: Lauren - I'm The Only One

1994? Goodness. I seriously love this song, and I'm scared that she's about to ruin it for me. And I was right. I can't listen. At all. Oy.

Number twelve: Jacob - Alone

Never liked this song. Never liked Heart. Jacob's almost making it bearable, but honestly, not really liking his voice on it. But it may just be that the song is tainted. Nonetheless, it's getting fast forwarded.

My favorite: Stefano, followed closely by Casey. 

My least favorite: Again. A toss up, but I don't think Karen was the worst. I would say Haley, then Lauren, then Naima. 

Guess we'll see what happens next...what did you guys think?
