American Idol Top 11

So last night, the producers of American Idol decided that the Lennon McCartney thing went over so well, let's follow that up with a Beatles night. Good in theory...bad in practice. These kids for the most part are completely unfamiliar with the work of the Fab Four (should be taught in schools!!) and didn't or couldn't connect with the songs. Me thinks, Idol needs to fast forward about three decades and quick.

Top 3 Performers

  1. David Cook - Performer is a good title for Mr. Cook. He made his 90 seconds seem like a little concert and he rocked!
  2. Cary Smithson - Great voice, horrible wardrobe choices. Do they not have a mirror backstage?
  3. Syesha - Sounded good, looked OMG amazing!

Bottom 3 Performers

  1. Kristy Lee Cook - Chose her song based on title and then proceeded to destroy another Beatles classic.
  2. Ramiele Malubay - She seems more than a little lost. Ramiele looks very small on the big stage.
  3. Michael Johns - Bad song choice but at least he didn't seem so sweaty.

Please, I begging you the American voting public, please send Kristy Lee Cook home before she creates anymore havoc in the music industry.
