(recommended *right click: open in new tab/window*)

Kittyeatdog says : She started out the song like a hippie after 2 vodkatinis, then it progressed to a maximum of five glasses and she ended it sober, complete with repressed tears. But I kind of liked it though. Maybe it’s the Meowing.

Gingercakes says : MEOW! MEOW! MEOW! 3 magic words!

Karanobra says : Poor didi, almost brought to tears. but it was so disapponinting. that song was totally wrong; it was too big for her. it only brought out the limits in hr vocals.

Katie Stevens sings “Put Your Records On” on the American Idol 9 Top 20 Performance

(recommended *right click: open in new tab/window*)

Kittyeatdog says : TATIANA DEL TORO SHOUTOUT ANYONE? And I find it disturbing for Randy Jackson saying words like ‘hitting your sweet spot’ to 16 year old girls. Maybe she should try ‘Saving all my love for you’ next week. And the week after.

Gingercakes says : She takes a young song and makes it old. But hey, she's doing it for her grandmother, right?

Karanobra says : So pretty i see a Katharine McPhee in her. The song was too low for her though. That song always makes me smile, but she didnt. A pity, cos she has a decent voice.

Lacey Brown sings 'Kiss me' on American Idol Top 20 Performance Night.

(recommended *right click: open in new tab/window*)

Kittyeatdog says: The judges told her to sing ‘Kiss me’ last week and she did it the week after. Can it get any more boring than that? Well, apparently it can. Lacey sang it. And she ‘REALLY’ made it her own by singing the word ‘Swing’ three times instead of twice. VERY original.

Gingercakes says: She's infectious, but song choice was predictable. I’d like to see her do something more violent, something "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger”! And please, lose the wannabe red hair already, black is the new black.

Karanobra says: KARA WAS RIGHT! a gazillion times better than last week: she was more confident, and her vocals were more controlled and less nasal/sharp. I actually liked her. Best hair award goes to her! Butt i think she might be in danger this week.

Haeley Vaughn sings "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus on the American Idol 9, Top 20 Performance

(recommended *right click: open in new tab/window*)

Kittyeatdog says: Haeley aimed low this week with a Miley number, and still failed. I didn’t get her during the Hollywood rounds and I still don’t get her now. Kara, if I cared so much about seeing ‘a great spirit’ on stage, I’d watch Oprah, or Ellen.

Gingercakes says: Stop smiling; I want to see you cry. Nobody cares about you. A million times goodbye.

Karanobra says: Girl with flowers/headband #1. She has a really great voice with that huge range, and this week there was greater control.BUT how can you smile to a song like The Climb?!?! she totally reduced the meaning of the song to sweetened pulps. yikes.

Crystal Bowersox sings “Long As I Can See The Light” on the American Idol 9 Top 20 Performance.

(recommended *right click: open in new tab/window*)

Kittyeatdog says: I just love me some mamasox. I was actually head bobbin to it. And Yes. The head with the brains, well, kind of.

Gingercakes says: I dunno, she's likeable. But her wardrobe troubles me a little. Would love to hear her try a Regina Spektor though.

Karanobra says: Mamasox! great beautiful voice she got there! dont think she wll win the competition, but she will go far. she's got a voice suited for country. if singer-songwriter don't work out, she'll do great in Nashvillle as a Gretchen Wilson type. And did Kara mistook her performance last week for You Oughta Know?! half the world will prob miss that part (who listens to Kara anyway?!) but sharp Ryan had to point that out and disgrace her. WAY TO GO RYAN!

Kitty-ratings of 'Gingercakes'.

Lee Dewyze sings “Lips of an Angel” by Hinder on the American Idol 9 Top 20.

(recommended *right click: open in new tab/window*)

Kittyeatdog says: Well, I didn't hate it as much as last week, I'll give him that. I just dont see him dancing in a confetti shower at the end. I dunno why but I just don't.

Gingercakes says: He's gonna make it to top 5, you'll see!

Karanobra says: Sexy beast. Some underwear showcase will definitely get him more votes though. LOVE HIS TONE.

Tim Urban sings “C’mon Get Higher” by Matt Nathanson on the American Idol Top 20.

Gingercakes says :

Karanobra says :

I was honestly distracted throughout the whole performance. And when Ellen mentioned 'Glee', I just went 'YEAH!' and suddenly want him to be around next week, but I doubt he can recover from dodging a bullet last week, so yeah. Otherwise I thought he did pretty good this time round, but maybe its just the distraction talking.   My bad.

Nothing without his bangs.

The Zac efrons and Percy Jacksons of the world need to go! GO GO GO! He makes me want to cut off hs hair! That said, great smile and cute as a button though.

Aaron Kelly sings “My Girl” by the Temptations on the American Idol Top 20.

(recommended *right click: open in new tab/window*)

Kittyeatdog says : I honestly thought he was good last week. This week however it felt like a highschool dance with cheesy dancemoves complete with a finger pistol and a wink.

Gingercakes says :   No comment. Wait. Aaron Kelly who?

Karanobra says : No one should sound like Rascal Flatts - NO ONE! but My Girl?!?! cue the "TOO OLD FOR YOU" / "You're only 16/17" broken record!

Andrew Garcia sings “You Give Me Something” by James Morrison on the American Idol Top 20.

(recommended *right click: open in new tab/window*)

Kittyeatdog says: Andrew was my early favourite but that was really awkward. I dunno. I was really looking forward to Andrew Garcia but I just got an 'Andrew'. Even after the credits were rolling, I was still high and dry, waiting for the 'Garcia' part. And yeah. neither 'came'.

Gingercakes says:  I like it that his glasses always looks like it's falling off his nose. cute as a button. someone's got to pinch him.

Karanobra says: I was totally waiting for Simon, in his Brit accent, to say "That was Atrocious." He's just proved that it's possible to go from Hero to Zero in under 2 minutes, definitely an Idol fallen angel first. And he looks like Elton John when he sings with that raised eyebrow and glasses.

Jermaine Sellers sings “What’s Going On” by Marvin Gaye on the American Idol Top 20.

Kittyeatdog says: I can just feel the skanky attitude no matter how much he tries to fluff it off as humour. I can just feel it and I think others can too. and yeah. That and I was kind of bored.

Gingercakes says: Indulgent, although he should be more crazy and wear more jammies onstage, just because he can.

Karanobra says: Smooth operatorrrr. Not Bad.
