Crystal Bowersox sings You Can’t Always Get What You Want on the American Idol 9 Top 12 Performance Night. (MP3 Download)

Kittyeatdog says:

Karanobra says: I cried to her story. Something about a growling man talking about her daughter's love for her just makes me bawl my eyes out, as did he himself. On that emotional noe, Mamasox' vocals today were exciting. Perhaps it was the size of the new stage, but for the first time, perhaps a little belated, I saw the possibility of Mamasox surviving outside of Idol as a true artiste, and the very best definition of that at best. She would write her own songs, and sing about her own experiences. Kudos to LILY SCOTT SHOUTOUT with that peacock feather on your awesome dreadlocks. Also to the sign that says Vote 4 Mamasox". You rock.

Aaron Kelly sings Angie on the American Idol 9 Top 12 Performance Night. (MP3 Download)

Kittyeatdog says:

Karanobra says: Aaron has a makeover, and ALEX LAMBERT DOESN'T !?!?!? He has the sweetest mum, and watching that footage gave me an "Awwww" moment. However, STOP ROCKIN! It was very awkward and distracting. (I think Anthony Fedorov moved like that too, but more stylishly. Hmmm) He totally did the Archie-shy-smile thing at the end. Endearing, but I want to see great singing! Go learn some syle tips from Lily!

Lee Dewyze sings Beast of Burden on American Idol 9 Top 12 Performance Night. (MP3 Download)

Kittyeatdog says:

Karanobra says: Dawg, I gotta give you props for wearing the same Teenge Mutant Ninja Turtle shirt when you were young. That was hot dude! The singing, not so much. I kinda felt like I was in a bar, youknowwhatimsayingidunnomanwhatdoyouthinkE. E's "hospital gown" analogy was ROFLOL. Best line of the night! If the 4 hadnot been eliminated last week, that increases the chance of a funny line by 4 folds! Imagine that!

Paige Miles sings Honky Tonk Women on American Idol 9 Top 12 Performance Night. (MP3 Download)

Kittyeatdog says:

Karanobra says: I fell for Paige during her backstory, how she always try to smile after talking about something bad in her life. She did the same thing, braving it with a smile, when she told the world she was sick. I admire that spirit. And for me, she gave the best performance of hers, BY A MILE(S)! (yes, I had to say that!) For the first time I saw a tinge of star-power, and that promised quality in her voice. Lily and Katelyn would be proud, sisters ae doin' it for themselves.

Siobhan Magnus sings Paint It Black on American Idol 9 Top 12 Performance Night. (Mp3 Download).

Kittyeatdog says:

Karanobra says: I suspect these will be the recurring words in my future notes for Siobhan: "THAT NOTE! CRAZY!!!" Our Princess of Darkness was awesome tonight. AWESOME. I suspect she is going to be the phonebook singer this season. WOOTS!

Tim Urban sings Under My Thumb on American Idol 9 Top 12 Performance Night. (MP3 Download)

Kittyeatdog says:

Karanobra says: "Urban Family". I shan't comment. It was a cute package, so that together with his face will help him get votes. The Jason Castro way is tried and tested, and props to him for giving a reggae spin to a RS ditty! However, it was BLAH except for that fasetto at the end. And I have to say, finally, LOVE THAT HAIR. IMAGINE, just imagine, what ALEX LAMBERT would get for his hair.

Katie Stevens sings Wild Horses on American Idol 9 Top 12 Performance Night. (MP3 Download)

Kittyeatdog says:

Karanobra says: Ryan was stirring shit hoping to get a Ms California moment by asking her who was the Stones' frontman. GOOD JOB RYAN, but try harder. BIG SHUTOUT TO SLEZAK for correctly and sharply predicting her song choice. Second rate Kat McPhee needs to really bring her 'A' game on next week 'cause I am sick of her. She looks like Tatiana, but lacks the humour. WHERE IS MY TATI WHEN I NEED HER! That said, the marvel that is the white light at the beginning made me realise what could be some saliva action while she's singing (which i verified watching back). And her dad wore shorts and wristband! CUE NORMAN GENTLE ALERT!

Lacey Brown sings Ruby Tuesday on American Idol 9 Top 12 Performance Night. (MP3 Download)

Kittyeatdog says:

Karanobra says: That last note was like a frog's croak. Nonetheless, t was a very cool-cat performance, something I kinda like outside Idol, but am trying to get used to on Idol. The vibrato was not strong dawg, but thanks to th string quartet, I'll give you points for effort. Interesting, but not as much as the 456780 instruments Lily knows how to play.

Andrew Garcia sings Gimme Shelter on American Idol 9 Top 12 Performance Night. (MP3 Download).

Kittyeatdog says:

Karanobra says: I don't know what was more disturbing: Ryan forcing Randy to stand up and hold on to his belly for his dear life while Ryan takes a seat on the chair, or my startling realisation that Andrew looks like a cross betwee Garfield and Elton John (Note how he raises one eyebrow like Si Elton when he sings, not to mention those glasses!), OR his mother's frozen expression/body during the whole family package (leopard preens alert!!!). The human Garfield barely raised an Elton John eyebrow with that desperate attempt to rock out, except for that glory note. Take a lesson from Katelyn and sing your heart out, Andrew.

Casey James sings It’s All Over Now on American Idol 9 Top 12 Performance Night. (MP3 Download)

Kittyeatdog says:

Karanobra says: Rock god? More like rock dog. Them shaggy hair ain't do your blues no good buddy. Time to button up, buckle up and get gone wit them guitars, and leave Kara alone. Cos baby, I would luv hear you sing It's All Over Now tomorrow. (Even though I think it's highly unlikely for Americans to stop mentaly undress you. IRK.) You stole Alex's seat yo!

Didi Benami sings Play With Fire on American Idol 9 Top 12 Performance (MP3 Download)

Kittyeatdog says:

Karanobra says: Didi's ditty did it! She converted me and proved that there's life beyond Kara's "Terrified" once again! I do hope Rickey.org's "Red light Prophecy" do not work on her, 'cause this week she played the scorned-woman-issuing-warning role nice and edgy. Love the childhood photo with the front tooth missing; wonders if Katelyn's hair was that fizzy when she was young.

Michael Lynche sings Miss You on the American Idol 9, Top 12 Performance Night/ MP3 Download

Kittyeatdog says:

Karanobra says: If Reuben Studdard were skinnier, he would have looked like Big Mike. I kinda like the falsetto, but it was pitchy and flat in parts. Good opening to the show, but not wow. He was working the stage, but Todrick would have torn it down like Jagger.
