Idol Happenings(Women Top 8)

OK, kids, another week the top 8 Women….let me mention this is the first time I noticed there is only one BLONDE in the Top 8….that would be Kelli. Paris kicked off the show with a nice rendition of some Miami Sound Machine, followed by Lisa and what I would like to dub an “Eh?” song….sounded decent, but don’t be surprised if she is gone Thursday. Melissa kicks third with some Heart, with some overdone makeup. (Simon thinks it was a bad performance) – she did seem pretty nervous though. Kinnik is fourth “trying” Alicia Keys, she has the lower range for it, and she managed to pull it off to my ear, but I’m waiting for some scathing Simon comment. All three judges thought she was a mess, she may be headed home. It was aaaight. Katherine at five tonight with her range and Oh My GOD….an appropriate song….sounds to me like she is the first one to come to “play” tonight….a risk and she pulled it off, all three judges agree…best of the night so far, which is rough considering there are only three left and I know there is one bullet, at least, left in the gun and her name is Mandisa. My Mom has a 57 inch projection tv who said if she keeps kicking out the tunes, she’ll have to upgrade to a 63 inch tv. Ayla with some Natasha Beddingfield, very current and known song, and she sounds good performing it, she’ll be back after Thursday..however it was a “safe” song for her, nothing special with the vocals…all three agree it was “good”. But she towers Ryan Seacrest in the interview section….Mandisa with the Chaka Khan…I’m Every Woman, great range, which we already know, seems pretty effortless too, no nerves…Randy thinks Mandisa is the one to beat…Paula agreed as did Simon…Kellie is last, which means she can be “ordinary” like everyone else or step up to the challenge…..we’ll see what happens after the break..(sorry, couldn’t help it)…she’s rockin’ to Melissa Ethridge…with some emotion, she came to play too! Simon called her a “Naught little minx”…which I guess is a compliment. So again, song selection tonight…for the “players” their songs were great, for the rest it was “ordinary”….does that make any sense?  Guys tomorrow night….
