4/25: Pickler in a pickle but Paris could be going home
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Kellie Pickler may be Amercia’s darling but she sure won’t be the American Idol after her past two performances. I think she’s starting to wilt under the pressure.
The bottom three? Both Taylor and Kellie are both due for a fall for the first time. And Katharine will join them. Who will go home? Sorry, Kellie. (These are my immediate thoughts before I see dialidol.com’s numbers.)
I must be letting my hometown bias toward Paris get to me because she is clearly at the bottom on dialidol.com (which measures busy signals) though Kellie is within shooting distance of losing. Kat’s in fourth, just ahead of Elliott. Taylor is currently the Ronald Reagan of the group— he’s Teflon proof! (Mike S was right!) And Chris is deservedly at the top.
“If you can’t cut it in my studio, you’re gone. It’s not softball, it’s hardball,” said songwriter David Foster. Andrea Bocelli was a pushover but fun to listen to.
- Chris Daughtry (Bryan Adams “Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman”) — I hate this song with a deep passion. He’s going to have to do something extra to get me to like it. He’s almost making me like it. He is singing it with heart, with warmth, with style. It’s far better than Bryan Adam’s version. And that’s enough to give the top slot again to Chris. Randy: “Amazing!” Paula: “Love you!” Simon: “That was a very very good choice of song. And it was a great performance, very sexy song.” (He was the last one on and they had to rush the comments.)
Tie-2. Elliott Yamin (“A Song For You” by Donny Hathaway) His fans are apparently now called Yaminians. This was the first song he sang early on, he said. “I’m pumped!” he told Ryan. And he wants to give Donny some props. And one of the backup singers is Donny’s daughter. As David Foster said, it’s a very stylized song. Elliott is again in his element, very confident, very secure in this song. It’s very good but didn’t blow me out of the water. Randy: “Did not like the arrangement. It was overshadowing the vocals. But I love you. You were the bomb tonight.” Paula is crying. “You move me!” Simon giggles. “Seven weeks ago, I said in my opinion you are one of the best male vocalists we’ve ever had. In parts, that was a vocal master class. That was superb.”
Tie-2. Paris Bennett (“The Way You Were” by Barbra Streisand) — “She has volume like me,” Andrea said. She has that ’70s flip hair and opts for a signature Barbra tune. And she can handle it far better than Mikalah Gordon! It’s old fashioned but heartwarming. I enjoyed it! Randy: “I thought it was pretty good. I wasn’t blown away. I liked it. I wasn’ tover the top. You can sing anything.” Paula: “I felt you oversang it a little bit. But best female vocal tongiht. Simon: “Very good vocal. Bit old fashioned for my taste. I felt you were trying to impersonate an older artist.” Hey, Simon. Stop stealing my adjectives! :)
4 — Katharine McPhee (Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing”) — Kat’s taking on a major risk with Vonzell Solomon’s favorite song from last year when she finished third. But at least she has some operatic skills as she duets with Andrea Bocelli. And cleavage alert: she is finally wearing a decent dress! (A button pops at the bottom of her dress near the end but nothing shows.) Kat’s version is much mellower and vanilla than Vonzell’s. She torch sings it reasonably well with solid intensity. As good as Whitney? Or even Vonzell? Um… no. Randy: “I was a little bit worried this week. It was a good choice of a song. Keeping it real. It was too big for you… You’re talking about Whitney in the prime. That didn’t come close, I’m sorry.” Paula’s mike is off. “There were pitch problems. Last week, when you sang, you were in your zone, you didn’t push your vocals. When you sing in your natural voice. Yo udon’t have to oversing. Sometimes, you tend to follow up flat when you hit the power note… Your money is your intimate vocals.” Simon: “Very simple. By choosing that song, I am as good as Whitney Houston. You’re not. That was the problem. It was quite old fashioned and cabaret. You went backwards. You sing a Whitney song, you have to be as good. You are not.”
5 — Taylor Hicks (James Ingram’s “Just Once”) - Great song pick that fits him perfectly. Foster liked him a lot and he’s a tough cookie. Taylor’s charisma carries him through. It’s a wee bit too much like the original and in fact, not as good. After the David/Andrea buildup, I’m disappointed. Randy: “That song was completely the wrong song for me for you. It was like weird karaoke.” Paula: “There are sensitive sides for you… it wasn’t my favorite songs but you look as handsome as heck.” Simon: “You looked uptight tonight… you hear that every night every day of the week in hotel lounges, a performance like that. It was the phrasing, the performance as a whole. It was not a winning performance.”
6 — Kellie Pickler (Righteous Brothers’ “Unchained Melody”) She’s single! “I’m lonely,” she said. Noting the song is from Ghost, she hopes to one day have a pottery partner. “I don’t have anyone to play pottery with,” she said, adorably. “What color hair does she have?” Foster asked Bocelli. “Blonde,” said the blind man. The song is one that Clay Aiken pulled off in season two. Can she? It starts sort of blah. She looks way too morose. She said during the rehearsal that she felt it was robotic. And it is. And dull. This could kill her. She could be gone tomorrow night after two bad weeks in a row. Even when she hits the high notes, she doesn’t show any emotion. And that rouge on her face doesn’t do her any favors. Randy: “There were pitch problems. The high note was in tune. It was very strange. Wasn’t the right song.” Paula: “I don’t see you raising the bar each week. I adore you. I think America has fallen in love. At this point, it’s about greatness. I didn’t feel that from you.” Simon: “That deserved tears. But for a different reason. It was like the neverending song. It was like it was not going to finish, so monotous and bland. There was no heart, no warmth from your vocal at all. You were like a robot.”

Elliott’s numbers are 1 866-436-5702 and 5708. I have only gotten in 3 votes in 13 minutes and I am hoping this is a good sign! He was AWESOME tonight… I think I’m officially a Yaminion now! :)

Tonight was by all means up and down. I have to say that last week I was worried about how everyone would do. Ok, the truth is I was worried that there wouldn’t be a song performed that I liked. :) My hunch was slightly correct. I cannot stand the Bryan Adams song Chris sang. Detest it!! However, Chris had me enjoying it.
I wasn’t feeling Paris tonight, nor did I really enjoy Taylor — which is a rarity. Katherine and Kellie didn’t shine. Elliott was good vocally as everyone said, but I didn’t enjoy the song that much. It was a tad on the boring side. My bottom three: Kellie, Taylor, and Elliott

After tonight, I would hope Kelly will be gone. She has her fan base, but how can they vote for 2 bad performances that were so boring, pitchy, and just off.
Chris did amazing tonight, I hope his fans vote more for him tonight than last week. He has got some talent.
Paris, though so talented and still my favorite singer, chose a song I felt would not attract any young fan base she may have had. I hated that song choice, although like I said, still think she has the most talent.
Elliot did well tonight, but I still don’t get why the judges are kissing his a*. I think he has hollywood connections big time and that is why he has made it this far. Even Kevin Nealon was cheering him on.
Taylor did pick a weird song for his voice, but I still think he has a really unique voice and will hopefully remain in this competition until the top 3.
Katherine did pick the wrong song. I think she can make it on Broadway, but tonight, she should have chosen a song that better suited her voice.

Sorry Rodney, this night belonged to Elliot. This seldom happens but I was in agreement with Paula, that boy made me CRY! His vocal was amazing. He is truly the dark horse (a la Kimberley Locke), and if Taylor doesn’t step it up….he could take the final 2 away from him. As for the rest, Kat did better than the judges gave her credit…she didn’t copy Whitney, GOOD! Chris was wonderful, but didn’t raise the bar. Same for Paris, good but now it’s becoming ordinary…we know you can sing….WOW us! Now for the bad ones….Taylor,what in the WORLD??? Just Once is one of my favorite male vocal performances…he just butchered it. Simon was right about the phrasing, that was bad…but then his vocal was okay at best. Truly surprised…but the “Soul Patrol” will keep him out of the bottom three, though he deserves to be there. Lastly, KELLY?!?!? Pack your bags chick. She proved tonight that she is the weakest vocalist…and after a second VERY bad week (a la Mandisa) she really NEEDS to go. Anyone else would be a travesty. My ratings based on tonights performance from best to worst. Elliot, Chris, Paris, Kat, Taylor, Kelly. What will probably ACTUALLY happen? Chris, Elliot, Taylor, Paris, Kat, Kelly. The girls are really hurting! The need to step it up!!!!

ELLIOT’s was the best vocal performance by far!
I’ve never “appreciated” TAYLOR’s Joe Cocker-like act! Nothing unique there. CHRIS’ movements between gargleing and yelling are annoying! Nothing new there! KELLIE, though entertaining isn’t as good a vocalist as many of the finalist who left early during this and all passed seasons. Give us a break, please! PARIS has a really nice voice, but in a world of very gifted black female singers would I feel compelled to add her cd to my collection? Probably not! KAT is a breath of fresh air, though her performance of “I Have Nothing” was jus OK! ELLIOT was the shining star on this night and I feel that he and KAT will be the two to beat in the long run! Who do I think will go home? KELLY or CHRIS!

A very good night overall with one Sour PICKLE.
Elliot - THE MOMENT! Best performance of the season. Absolute vocal Masterpiece.
Chris - IF you love Chris you loved this, Others will say it was just OK. I think it was excellent.
Paris - A beautiful understated performance. What an amazing voice, just not quite ready for the big time yet. She will be a superstar in a few years.
Taylor - Good, not great tonight. Enough to keep him out of the bottom 3 but not a WOW performance.
Katherine - David Foster hit it dead on the head — she is wonderful if she stays away from the big notes. You can’t sing Whitney without the big notes, and as such she was pitchy and schreechy on the big notes. Amazing vocal talent, but she continues to pick songs to big for her.
Kellie - WOW in a bad way —that was dreadful. To say is sucked canal water is an insult to canals.
Bottom 3 tomorrow - Kellie, Katherine, Paris. Taylor’s fans will keep him out of the bottom 3. Kat is in trouble unless Kellie’s fans finally open thier ears.

I thought Kat was the best. I don’t know the Whitney Houston version, so I couldn’t compare and was unbiased. But, c’mon, if Whitney had sang any of these songs during her prime, everybody would have paled to her. Taylor and Kellie are in serious trouble

Elliott was superb; he gave the best performance of the season — bar none! His voice is like a smooth cognac with just as much depth, soul, warmth and smoothness. His song selection is A-1! I have loved this guy from the beginning and tonight the judges finally got it! He is the real deal! Bravo, Elliott! Rodney Ho, with all due respect as the moderator of this blog, you need to listen more closely, you witnessed greatness in Elliott tonight; you’d better recognize!

Hey! I read the blog every week, but this is my first post. My rankings:
Chris - Excellent Performance! Elliot - starting to win me over. Kat - good, not great. Taylor - A bit disappointing for me. Paris - was it just me or did her voice sound different tonight? Kellie - Bad! Has to go.
After 2 bad weeks, I agree that Kellie needs to go. I’ve been trying to vote for Chris, but have only gotten through twice in the last 20 minutes.

People - Get Real - Taylor is not in trouble at all. He has the biggest fan base of anyone at the moment. Chris is liked by more, but his fan base his not huge — a lot of people (like me) vote performance based.
That said — Chris and Taylor are WAYYYYYYY out in front on Dial Idol. Elliot is fairly comfortable in 3rd. Kat is in the bottom 3 at the moment, but should be safe.
PARIS is in Last — she needs our help if we want the sour Pickle gone. I will post the Dial Idol rankings in 30 minutes (they have been deadly accurate at the one hour point) — if Paris is still last I ask everyone to burn up the lines for Paris to send Kellie home — this is our chance to get her off the show!
DO not be fooled if you are already calling for paris and getting busy signals — YOU ARE IN HER HOME TOWN!! Of Course the lines will be jammed — but trust me PARIS IS IN TROUBLE IF WE DON’T HELP HER!

What was up with Paula and Randy tonight??????????????
I did not think Kat derserved those comments from the judges. Did she live up to the “bigness” of the song, not quite… but who is Paula to say that someone is pitchy??? When did one of her albums get critical acclaim for her vocals?? Kat did just fine and doesn’t deserve to go home.
Speaking of Paula, what was the boo-hooing over Ellliot?? Did I miss something? Maybe she was crying because she realized her Coke cup wasn’t spiked as usual!
Chris was the best by far… wow, loved it! amazing!
America, please let Pickler go. I really like her too, but it’s time to let go!

When Paris starts singing, she pronounces some words so strangely…it bothers me.
Elliot was so good. He’s just getting so much better every time. He is indeed the dark horse, as mentioned above.
I couldn’t change channels fast enough to get away from Kellie. Good lord that was awful. VFTW be damned, she needs to go. And that hair?
Chris did okay, could have did better. They gave him the total set up, and its as if he forgot all the advice he got. He tried to get to “rocker” in the middle, and then remembered..”Oops, its a love song, bring it back down.” He should have laid down.
Taylor…sigh. He bored me for the first time. But what a suit! Cool.
Kat…err, um. I don’t know. It wasn’t THAT bad, but certainly did not bring down the house. Yeah, yeah…Dad cried, he always does. Did you catch the flash of her yellow underpanties?

I hear ya Mike S. Taylor is safe even tho he should prolly be in the bottom 3 based on his performance. I think ur right, Paris was awesome but could get booted over Kellie with her fan base. Im multi voting for Paris and Kat tonite.

Not sure what everyone watched but I will add my two cents. Elliot sang well but he never hits any big notes. Paris’s performance was near flawless. I find it odd that no one likes to credit her for that. Kat was not that bad. I kinda enjoyed it but it was no nowhere near Vonzie. Chris’s voice is annoying to me as well and I find all of his songs sound similar. Taylor..I liked now the the thrill is gone. Kelly is really really bad. Maybe the execs wont embarass the show any further with her. I could deal with any of the contestants winning minus Kelly and Chris

I’m still not understanding why people think Elliot is a “shining star.” And, I definitely don’t get why the judges thought he was the best vocalist by far when he was auditioning. He always sounded so flat, bland, and nothing special ever since I first heard him. The only thing I give him credit for is the fact he has %90 hearing loss and is still in the competition.

Mike, I will vote for Paris if you also urge everyone to get some votes in for Kat. She was not nearly as bad as the judges made her out to be. It would be just as much of a nightmare for her to go as Paris. Think of it this way, everyone….it’s time to get the Pickler out of there. Vote for both the girls, the guys are safe so far.

derrick, i agree…Paris’ performance was great, but she’s not raising the bar. Forgive the Fantasia reference, but she needs a “Summertime” type performance. Elliot had that kind of performance tonight…tonight was the night he made people sit up and take notice and REMEMBER his name. My only criticism was that he was a little bug eyed staring at the camera in some points.
But anyway, back to Paris. It is ridiculous if she goes home before Kelly. And frankly, I’m tired of the “age” comments from the judges. She is 17! Get over it. I can’t think of any GREAT love songs recorded by a 17 year old. So any song she sings (combined with her MATURE voice) is going to make her sound like an older person.

Sorry Mike and Rodney, but I have to go with Deirdre with one exception, I was thoroughly impressed with Elliott tonight and for the first time realized that he is the one with the truly unique sound.
Taylor’s appeal has entirely worn off for me. He has never measured up to the potential I thought he’d have and Chris, while a great rock singer, still does not out sing Elliott.
Katharine was much better than the judges gave her credit for being and most certainly out-sang Kellie, Paris, and Taylor tonight. Therefore, my list is:
Elliott
Katharine
Chris
Paris
Taylor
Kellie
If Sour Pickle does not leave tomorrow, then I stand corrected and votefortheworst.com has more power than I thought.

I thought that Chris and Elliot were by far the best. Elliot has a great, controlled voice, but not much of a showman. Chris is the only one who reminded me that it was “love song” week. Paris has an amazing voice, and when I see the rehersals, I think its great, but when she sings it on stage she changes the sound of her voice and her word pronunciation is wierd. Taylor was not that good, and that song was a terrible choice for Kellie.

Achin - I think the difference is just vocal style preferences — I think Katherine screeches when she tries for the big notes. I love her sultry torchy voice, but she sings songs I don’t care for and sings songs way too big for her. My wife and I both agree - she does absolutely nothing for us.
NOW - My wife thinks Chris won hands down tonight with Elliot second.

What was she on again tonight? Stupid - Pickler - horrible HORRIBLE! Let’s send her home - Taylor - ho hum….. Paris - liked her a lot- Did she reming anyone else of Gladys Knight, look, vocals and all?

I usually think Paula is on something, but I swear Elliott had me crying before it ever showed her crying. That boy is a brilliant singer!
Chris - I really liked him, but I am past tired of AI giving him all the ‘concert’ props and lights, etc., more than the others, not to mention the ‘pimp spot’. Very nice job, though.
Taylor - The judges were all high in their comments to him. The only thing I might concede is that the verses sounded almost too low for him. The rest was great. He could sing the yellow pages and make me swoon.
Katharine - She was going great for me until she got to the big part - right about the time she thought now I’ll march to my left angrily in time to the music as I sing the lyrics ‘don’t walk away from me’. Downhill from there.
Paris - I loved her early on, but I am starting to get what her critics mean, and what Simon has said before about her being like a little wind-up doll. Her vocal delivery is changing … She’s overdoing the ‘covered’ tone thing, and the breath before the jazzy note that slides quickly into the actual note. Gets on my nerves lately. Flashes of greatness, but she needs to develop some more IMO.
Kellie - I believe even she knows it’s past time for her to go. One of her worst yet. And what was up with that pompadour do?

Has everyone lost their minds. (Including the judges, kick Paula off!!!) Just because Kat sang a Whitney song in NO WAY means that she thinks she is as good as Whitney. Maybe she sang it because she liked it? DA! Or…maybe if you listen to her talk she said it was written by the producer with Bocelli, could that be why she wanted to sing it! DA again. Kat is the only one with a great not just good voice. She’ll make a record no matter what.

Complain about Kellie’s singing all you want, but she isn’t leaving tomorrow. She’s hot, blonde, has great hooties, and is getting 100% of the country music vote.
Taylor or Elliott is in trouble. I see them splitting votes, because they appeal to the same demographic. At this point, it’s just a numbers game.

Kat1dawg, it’s not an easy thing to explain. The obvious stuff, his pitch and all that is virtually perfect. Then the intangibles … I love the actual tone of his voice. I love the way he sings with feeling — just the way he phrases words and, well, phrases, within the song communicates the emotions of the song perfectly to me.
If you think of performing a song as akin to acting, Elliott gave an Oscar-winner tonight IMO - I forgot he was performing! He was in that song, and he grabbed me and took me there too ~ which IMO is what singing with real soul is all about.

Whoa! Katharine is a HOTTIE! Yowzer! She gets my vote this week just for dropping my jaw.
But seriously …
Chris - the best. It is always his spot to lose. Barring an unforseen tragedy, he will be the next AI.
Katharine - aside from the afore-mentioned hotness, she really was not as bad as the judges made her out. I thought she was great.
Elliot - I am not an Elliot fan, but he impressed me tonight.
Paris - did okay. She was the best of the worst.
Taylor - just not his genre I suppose.
Kellie - sweet & lovable as always, but it is time for her to go (although, her fan base will probably see her through).

You know….I thought i’d offer my constructive criticism’s of each remaining idol….not just the one side what I love.
Chris - starting to bore, clearly a favorite and too comfortable in that position. Needs to raise the bar.
Taylor - his quirkyness has always been his moneymaker. Never really had AMAZING vocals…just a good entertainer. Doesn’t deserve top 2 billing, but he’ll get there just like Ruben did…and probably win.
Katherine - good voice for a pop idol, but too just too inconsistent.
Paris - best female vocalist left…but not trying to win it! She putting in a good showing. Agree with other comments that who knows what kind of album she’d put out…we haven’t seen the REAL her yet. I pray that whoever she signs with doesn’t take her down the “ghettofabulous” route that they did to Fantasia. Let her be another Nancy Wilson.
Kelly - no comment necessary…there’s not enough room to list her shortcomings.
Elliot - would buy his album in a heartbeat, but his charisma sucks. He tries…bless his heart. But it’s just not happening.
Frankly, I’ve never wanted my favorite to win since Season 2. That contract is a BEAST. Too much control.

I think Elliot was better tonight than normal, but normally to me, he has no pitch because he sounds monotoned almost. He has the least emotion to me when he sings and I hate his performances week after week. I thought he should have gone with the likes of Bucky and Ace. But, to each their own, you and I are definitely entitled to our separate opinions! Have fun!

Kat - It’s amazing how differently we can view the same singer, isn’t it? I think that’s what makes this show such a massive hit.
BTW, other things I didn’t mention that make me love Elliott, since they’re not performance-related … His humility, his sensitivity, his whole demeanor to me suggests that this kid has been an underdog for a great deal of his life. And now look at him go. sigh

I love Taylor and I think he has a great personality but I really think Chris is my favorite and should be on top tonight based on performance. I have enjoyed all but maybe one of his performances. And he has shown the versatility that they did not think he had at first. But who knows how this will go?? I think Kellie, Kat, and Paris will be bottom three even if I don’t necessarily agree.

Hearing the word “pitchy” is enough to make an intelligent person scream. It means: (1) covered with pitch, or (2) black. This is true no matter what that fraudulent non Phi Beta Kappa Ab-dull may have coined.
Also, even though this is a keen grasp of the obvious: Pickler is woefully ignorant of the origin of “Unchained Melody.” It existed in a film long before GHOST appropriated it.

I Have Nothing is my favorite song from the Bodyguard soundtrack. And I actually liked Kat’s version compared to Whitney. The key is she did NOT try to imitate Whitney. As R & P would say…she “made it her own”. That’s why I’m p** they dogged her with their comments so bad.

Chris - FANTASTIC tonight! Great song choice, great arrangement, great stage presence! He was the ONLY contestant tonight who owned the stage.
Paris - She sang the hell out of a truly classic love song. She had great control and reminded me of a young Gladys Knight!
Katherine - I thought she did a really good job with this difficult iconic song. Not sure what the judges were hearing.
Elliott - He did a really good job singing the song. He still looks nervous. He needs to do more.
Taylor - Why does everyone think he’s so great? He definitely wasn’t tonight. Simon’s comments were dead on.
Kellie - The butcher is back! Bye Bye (I hope)!

Actually Songluvr, the Programmer of Dial Idol decided that including the second lines would actually mess the numbers up more than it would help as the second lines very seldom have busy signals. I think it was a good call, and I think they will be pretty accurate.
Also, Derrick — the Week Lisa was voted off she was in last place after the first hour of voting, then climbed wildly after that. The DI programmer determined that after that first hour people started voting exclusively for who they thought was in trouble and as a result it was skewing his numbers. he has been tweaking the formula each week, and has been 100% accurate after the first hour each of the last 3 weeks, and was dead on last week and within the margin of error the week before for the entire voting period.

*Kelli didn’t get voted off last week, and she won’t get voted off this week either, due to the efforts of the website *votefortheworst.com. The site has chosen Kelli as the contestant to vote for, and urges all others to do so as well, each week (since March) in order to skew the results to advance the contestants that IdleHeads clearly want booted (see above posts). Their efforts have been clearly effective…and they will be this week as well. As HORRIBLE as she was, Kelli advances. I love it.

I voted about 10 times for Katharine. Even at 10:30 tonight I was getting a few busy signals. I wasn’t able to vote for her until about 9:30’s House commercial break so I waited until the news. Anyway, I thought her comments from the judges were unfair, especially after watching Kellie butcher her song. Kellie should go and needs to go. Elliot and Chris are my other favorites. Predictions for my bottom three are Kellie, Elliot and maybe Taylor, simply from the judge’s comments. Elliot has got great talent but isn’t a huge fan favorite and Taylor just didn’t do it tonight. But that’s ok. Like I said, Kellie’s gone, most likely, so Katharine et. al. are safe for another week. Hopefully she’ll get smarter.

It is becoming very apparent that the judges decide in advance of the show to give bad comments—I guess because they think it’s good TV…. It is annoying me and Paula has gone beyond the pale. Simon is the only one I trust anymore and that is just sooo wrong! Bottom 3: Kellie, Paris, Hicks. Kat was robbed! She is very good at selling a song if she is “on.” There was a night a couple of months ago that I believe she was not feeling well and she “phoned in” her performance. Elliot is the man! He is reminding me of Harry Connick, Jr. these days….only lots cooler. He is cool and confident when he sings but doesn’t appear like that in interviews.
