American Idol 9 Episode 11 (Part 1): Solo Performances

‘Over tanned-over oranged’ Torri Kelly singing Katy Perry's  Hot and Cold, ‘Silver-haired’ Lilly Scott and ‘Pimp-spot/ Possible winner’ Andrew Garcia singing ‘Chasing Pavements”.

‘High-note/(and now) possible-diva’ Jermaine Sellers , otherwise did an awesome rendition of ‘Man in the mirror’, right before ‘throwing the band under the bus’ for screwing up his ending. Gurl. Not good for Team Jermaine.

  

‘Not-a-button-fan’ Casey James did a pretty good rendition of Colbie Caillat’s ‘Bubbly’ for his solo performance, while ‘Smooth-as-butter’ Jermaine Purifory sings ‘Brick House’

(I seriously don’t need to describe her with that name) Siobhan Magnus and ‘Natural-Woman’ Crystal Bowersox , armed with a harmonica, singing Shania Twain’s ‘If it makes you happy’, both rocked out their solo performances.

‘Lucky-named’ Alex Lambert , ‘Over-pimped’ Michael Lynche and ‘Possible-bitch-watch’ Todrick Hall in an ‘I'm Yours’ Medley. Without a doubt, bitch or not, Todrick blew it out of the water with his rendition. In comparison, ‘Over-pimped’ Michael Lynche just looked like Yogi Bear with a guitar.

Sorry Big-Mike Fans.

'Rock-n-Roll-with-a-lil-bit-of-country' Janell Wheeler , singing Taylor Swift’s ‘Love Story’, which according to Kara was the wrong choice of song.

‘Teenage heartthrob/ Season 9’s Archuleta’ Aaron Kelly ‘choked’ while singing Sarah McLachlan’s ‘Angel’, which was otherwise moving to say the least. Ashley Rodriguez sings Jordin Spark's 'Battlefield', 'Amazing stranger' Lee Dewyze , sings 'You found me' by The Fray , while 'Country-Star-Wannabe' Haeley Vaughn sing's Jason Mraz's 'I'm Yours', which i personally think was sharp and flat at most parts, well, at least those parts that were aired.

MY FAVOURITE AMERICAN IDOL 9 CONTESTANT (WEEK2)

WELL, the first round of American Idol 9 is ALMOST over (we are finally just an hour episode away from Hollywood rounds!)

Here is a recap of my favourite contestants from week 2, of the Chicago and Orlando Auditions.

From the Chicago Auditions (Episode 3, Week 2)

Guest Judge: Shania Twain. (That DID impress me much)

Katelyn Epperly auditions for American Idol 9 in Chicago. She sang “Syrup and Honey” by Duffy and girlfriend sounds incredible, maybe a little too much like Kelly Clarkson. However, as far as Kelly Clarkson soundalikes fate goes on American Idol, I have a pretty good feeling she'll make it far this season.

Charity Vance auditions for American Idol 9 in Chicago singing “Summertime”. She is as cute as a button and I simply adore her! Charity (how can you not love that name), also looks like she should try out for America's Next Top Model. Maybe in another 3 cycles, cause Tyra just completed a cycle with those tiny girls. Her voice just reminds me of a beautiful little sparrow singing in the summer's breeze.

Omg. I'm turning into Mary Poppins. Oh Charity, the things you do to me.

Angela Martin auditions for the third time for American Idol, this time round, in Chicago. I remember her from Archie's season. Angela sang “Just Fine” by Mary J. Blige. Loved her then, Love her more now. I SERIOUSLY hope she'll make it this time. Third time the charm? I'm not one to beg, but PLEEEASSSEE!

Yeah.

Meant to do that.

John Park auditions for American Idol 9 in Chicago. He sang “I Love You More Than You’ll Ever Know” by Donny Hathaway. My god! He just oozes sexy all over. Korean guys are hot, and most importantly, boyfriend can sing his toned tight ass off.

And yes.

I meant to say that too.

From the Orlando Auditions (Episode 4, Week 2)

Guest Judge: Kristin Chenoweth (I liked her, just not with Kara, who is really starting to annoy me this season)

AI9 ORL 1 @ Yahoo! Video

Jermaine Purifoy auditions for American Idol 9 in Orlando. He sang “Smile”. I definately like him, but once again, its one of those 'likes' that are specifically 'reserved' for idol. I can imagine him on broadway and nothing else. Having said that, I love musicals and he did mention in the last bit of his interview that he's going to take more risks, so we'll see. As far as risks go however, he ain't no Adam Lambert, although I'm still positively hopeful.

So these are my top favourites for week 2 of the Chicago and Orlando auditions. Other contestants that made it through in these two episodes include half-faced Shelby Dressel , Cornelius Edwards (Mr-Split-pants-while-doing-a-Tina), Seth Rollins and slightly nasal asthmatic, Paige Dechausse.

On a different note, I HAVE to mention Amy Lang. I think she has one of the best personalities i have seen on this season thus far. Girlfriend is HILARIOUS. Amy, if you are reading this, you know I say it with love.

and for Amy's fans, I sincerely dedicate this clip to you. (Boobboxing and all)

God bless you Amy Lang for you have made the world a better place with those boxing babies.
