Top 12 : The Rolling Stones week
Big Mike (Miss you) The thought of a football player channeling Mick Jagger can be scary. Vocals – A+, Jagger swag – C.
Didi (Play with fire) Can’t find anything to complain about. A “safe” performance – not my favorite but a good job.
Casey (All over now) Not on the Casey train yet but it’s still early. Casey may fall victim to Kara’s “teacher’s pet curse”. I think he is more country then rocker, time will tell.
Lacey (Ruby Tuesday) Lacey’s a “PK” (preacher’s kid) and that is always a factor, will she cut loose in later themes or stay conservative? Okay performance, didn’t love it nor did I hate it.
Andrew (Gimme Shelter (used to be) my favorite Stones song) * Okay, how many times is Andy gonna tell us his folks used to run the gangs? Where is my creativity of Straight up, where has THAT Andrew gone. I am so so disappointed with this performance, it could have been great. There are songs that sound good no matter who sings it..I thought this was one of them.
Katie (Wild Horses)Besides channeling Katherine Mc Phee – this was “just okay for me”.
Tim (Under my thumb)He made the Stones sound like Jimmy Buffett, is that good? Good vocals ditch the guitar.
Spotlight: Siobhan(Paint it black)Prom dress, tattoo and black combat boots- coupled with a power performance. This year’s Adam. I am “totally surprised” two thumbs up!!
Lee (Beast of Burden) How did this guy make it past Hollywood week? A classic
example of one of these things do not belong here. Boring, Bland, Buh-bye!
Paige(Honkey Tonk Woman) She was good. I don’t see the IDOL but she is in the top percent this week. (* djrr update – Paige was sick and never rehearsed – 2 thumbs up)
Aaron(Angie) My ears hurt. This kid was picked for the tweens and they will keep him in the competition until the end. Blah.
Download of the week: Crystal (You can’t always get) The winner of American Idol. This girl is different in every way and can sang. I liked her during Hollywood and she continues to perform above the rest.

Highlight: Ryan getting up in Simon’s grill after a stupid comment. I hope we see more of this for the Simon farewell tour.
Lowlight: Is it possible, that Kara can talk too much and drown out Ellen?

For what it's worth, my friend, go back to our emails from January: Siobhan was on my "top" list. Just sayin'.
Can't refer back to my list because it would include my sure fire winners....that have all been kicked off...oops
Last night was the first episode of this season that I watched in its entirety. I haven't been feelin' it. I haven't been blown away by anyone...until Crystal. I liked the shout-out to my man Adam Lambert with Siobhan's performance. But, Crystal...she kinda seems perfect. Great singer, musician, and gracious and humble.

Good call on the Katie/Katherine McPhee connection (btw, I hated her dress). I want to like Tim (but can't believe he is from a family of 10 kids!).
