My Name is Kris and I Blah-g

Last night the Idol Top 10 performed with Usher as the mentor. I wasn’t all that enthused about Usher – don’t really know his music, etc. But I was impressed with him as a mentor. He seemed to really teach the performers about PERFORMING and that is important. You can sound good but if you don’t look good singing it, what’s the point? I think a lot of the performers stepped it up last night and used the advice they were given to their advantage. It was overall, a good night.Aaron Kelly – Ain’t No Sunshine - I am not on the Team Aaron Train… sorry, folks. This was just not up to par with others of the night. It seems like Aaron just has some work to do. He sounds better when he’s singing for the mentors but get him on the stage it it sounds shaky…and dare I say it, kinda pitchy…Crystal Bowersox – Midnight Train to Georgia – This was nice. Crystal is just a power unto herself. She showed a tender vulnerable side with her performance which was so different than what she usually shows. But I agree with Simon when he told her to not forget who she is and to not change into something she’s not.Lee Dewyze – Treat Her Like A Lady - Me likey, Lee! This performance was outstanding and the song – the way he sang it – would be one that I would buy. Great job!Katie Stevens – Chain of Fools - Meh. I guess vocally, she did ok but this song was too weird. She should have sung something else. I am not into Katie…Andrew Garcia – Forever - AWESOME! This was so good. Not a Chris Brown fan…for a variety of reasons, people but this song was really cool and I loved the acoustic guitar and beat box. Way good and his little smile in the middle of the song…kinda felt like he either knew something we didn’t know or he just thought the lyrics were stupid. I dunno. It was really good. WTG, Andrew! Tim Urban – Sweet Love - This performance was wooden and down right creepy. Nevermind that it was sung “ok”…Ellen was right to compare him to a bedroom stalker. Just weird!!Didi Benami – What Becomes of a Brokenhearted ’nuff said.. Michael Lynche – Ready for Love - Very nice….dramatic and beautiful….but kinda boring. *shrug* He’s cool, though. Casey James – Hold On I’m Coming - Was it just me or did Casey seem to smile throughout this whole song? He was having loads of fun performing this and was totally in his element. It was kinda hot! Siobhan Magnus – Through the Fire - The only thing I liked about her performance was her boots. This was seriously a train wreck…all over the place vocally, screaming (AGAIN!) and it was just super kinds of awful. Luckily for her, Didi was worse.Who’s going home? Either Didi or Tim….
