Culturally Preconditioned

With popular demand - Idol is back with The Beatles. *sniff*

Amanda - Back In The USSR

I like her voice and shit but it’s all gotten too predictable and repetitive (typed this before hearing Simon’s comment, btw) . It was just alright for me. 5 out of 10

Kristy - You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away

Does this bitch never learn? Pick a mind numbingly boring song, why don’t you. “I can blow you out of your socks…” girl, we all know that sentence is 4 words too long. 4 out of 10.

David A - The Long and Winding Road

In the first few moments, he kinda sounds like someone auditioning for Oliver! Much much better performance than last week’s. I hate the crowd (ie. fucking tweengirls. shut. the. flying. fuck. up.) for screaming every time he sings a long note. 7 out of 10.

Michael - A Day In The Life

Some people might argue that he doesn’t have enough charisma or stage presence to win it all. I actually think otherwise. There was a minor raspy fuck up before the 1st chorus but that’s forgiveable IMO. 6 out of 10.

Brooke - Here Comes the Sun

Personally, I think this pale wraith keeps on choosing the right songs. Colour me impressed. It was a pretty good performance - even though slightly repetitive. Not her best, but pretty good. 6.5 out of 10.

David C - Day Tripper

Egghead Daughtry - eat your heart out. Loved the performance. Totally kick ass, this one. Bravo.. never really liked this dude, but this was pretty good. 7 out of 10.

Carly - Blackbird

This was a nice song, but I didn’t think there was anything to write home about with the performance. Good, but not out of this world or anything. 7 out of 10.

Jason - Michelle

Alors Mon Dieu! Loved the French version. He hasn’t got the most powerful voice on the show, but Jason continues to pleasantly surprise me week after week. Seriously, Jason for the win! Fuck you judges. 7.5 out of 10.

Syesha - Yesterday

Started off great. Then it all became a little too much and too over the top for me. 7 out of 10.

Chikezie - I’ve Just Seen a Face

He sounded surprisingly tender the first half of the song. The sudden change to the cartoonish-western type tempo did NOT work at all for me. Should’ve kept it straight and simple. Again, I typed this before listening to Cowell’s comments. 5 out of 10.

Ramiele - I Should Have Known Better

A pretty decent performance.. but try as I might, I just can’t get myself into enjoying Ramiele’s performances. 6 out of 10.

Final Rankings for The Night :

1. Jason (7.5/10)
2. David C (7/10)
3. Carly (7/10)
4. David A (7/10)
5. Syesha (7/10)
6. Brooke (6.5/10)
7. Michael (6/10)
8. Ramiele (6/10)
9. Amanda (5/10)
10. Chikezie (5/10)
11. Kristy (4/10)

All in all.. a very very extremely dull show tonight. If you haven’t seen it, skip it.
