Tuesday Night (02.27.2007) Show... What did you think?

Tweet

After watching Tuesday Night's episode of American Idol, I am very excited to see how the rest of the season plays out. The guys performed during this episode and some of them have really stepped it up. I definitely think that Chris Sligh will be in the top 3 without question. He is a phenomenal singer with a great deal of talent. The crazy thing is he just keeps getting better each week. This week he dedicated the song to his wife, and the lyrics contained the phrase "...saved by a woman...". Another favorite of mine is Phil Stacey. He joined the military after 9/11 to try to make a difference for our nation. You have to commend that. Plus, this guy has real vocal talent. His voice has the perfect tone and the judges are constantly crediting him for that. I think he should and probably will make it pretty far in this competition. But, regardless of how well he does on American Idol, he definitely has a singing career ahead of him. Blake Lewis went back to his original beat box style this week and Randy and Paula seemed to love it. I thought it was a very good performance as well. Of course, Simon has to always be the antagonist, saying that he copied the original song and lost some tone toward the end. A. J. Tabaldo surprised me this week with an outstanding performance. He should be around for a while longer. Chris Richardson and Nicholas Pedro had very good performances as well. One of my favorites from the very early auditions has been Sundance Head. I like his style and his vocal abilities. He has been very disappointing, to say the least, in his last few performances. But, he came back this week! He had a pretty good performance and the judges liked it. But, I still think he can do a lot better. I think he is a dark horse in the competition. My pick for elimination this week has to be Sanjaya. He followed up a dismal performance from last week with another not so great performance. I really liked him early on, and he seems to be a great person, but he just doesn't seem the same since his sister was sent packing. As far as the other elimination (I think they are still doing 2?), I would have to go with Brandon Rogers. He has great vocal abilities, but his performance this week was not as good as last week, while everyone else was stepping it up. So, what does everyone else think?
