Miss Wilhelmina

It’s American Idol day again. Performance nights are Tuesdays in the US and Wednesdays in the Philippines, but well, I got friends in the US that like to update me and also like to spoil stuff for me, so I might as well blog about it and tell everyone. The Idols sang Lennon-McCartney songs again, and some did well, and some didn’t do too well.

Rocker nurse Amanda Overmyer went first and sang “Back in the U.S.S.R.”. It’s either I was too young or wasn’t born yet when this song was written. Umm, a little scared for the nurse. Too much talent on this show.

Kristy Lee Cook went next and sang, “You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away”. Ummm…ok… I hope she goes home. Guess the only thing she’s good at is “Amazing Grace”. And is that a little skin I see, Ms. Cook? Let’s see how far some skin can get you.

Personal favorite, David Archuleta, did “Long and Winding Road”. You did good, Chosen Boy. You did good. Now it’s up to America, but then again, a lot of little girls and boys like this boy.

Michael Johns, oh Michael Johns… He sang “A Day in The Life”. Now I know why a lot of titles seem to have those exact same words. Messy, messy performance. That is all. I’m a fan though.

And then it was Brooke White. She sang “Here Comes The Sun”. After last week’s “touching” performance, everyone expected her to do a better job. Buuuut! Judges didn’t like it, and we all know that they’re not just there for show.

Last week’s best performer in my opinion, David Cook sang “Day Tripper”. One word. Ok.

And ooo, it’s Carly Smithson! She sang, “Blackbird”, and everyone seemed to love it. But I was bored. Sorry. Great voice though. Just didn’t think the performance was good enough.

And it’s my Pinkness’s and others from The Richness favorite, Jason Castro. I finally got to see him perform without a guitar. Yay! He sang “Michelle” in English/French, and it worked. The girls loved it, so looks like iTunes will be getting some $$$ for it again.

Very safe Syesha Mercado sang one of my favorite songs, regardless of how old it is, “Yesterday”. But don’t ask me to sing it, I don’t know the words too well, I just love the song mainly because I can never forget the tune. Very well done, girl.

Chikezie! My chubby friend Paul Josef likes you. And no, PJ’s not gay. He just thinks Chikezie is a good performer. Period. Anyway, he sang “I’ve Just Seen a Face”.

Finally, it’s Ramiele Malubay. She sang “I Should Have Known Better”. And I think this little girl redeemed herself from the boo-boo she made last week. Keep it up, Ramiele!
