American Idol Top 12 Review Lennon/McCartney

Tonight on American Idol we have 12 singers singing the songbook of Lennon & McCartney. What amazing songs they have to choose from. Here is my recap & thoughts on each of the singers. As you all know I'm a little biased when it comes to 2 singers whom I just adore (♥ D.C. & M.J ♥ )

Syesha - "Got To Get You Into My Life" - It was just "eh" to me . I don't think she will make it much further in the competition.

Chikezie - "She's A Woman" - OH MY GOD! He was AMAZING! He TOTALLY rocked that song, changed it up and took it over! Loved it! I was pleasantly surprised.

Ramiele - "In My Life" - I'm sorry but I had to agree with the judges, it was boring.

Carly - "Come Together"...She did a phenomenal job. Really like her & love the tat! (Got two myself)

Jason - "If I Fell"....honestly, not crazy about it. The thing he keeps doing with his eyebrows drives me crazy!!!

David Cook - "Eleanor Rigby" - LOVED IT. Alright, yes he is one of my top two favorites, but seriously, he did awesome.

Brooke - "Let It Be" - It was OK. The judges loved it, I just thought it was OK. They kept saying other contestants were boring. I kinda thought it was boring.

David Hernandez - "I Saw Her Standing There" - I didn't care for this either. He really did overdo it.

Amanda - "You Can't Do that" - I wasn't crazy about this either. I liked her song last week better.

Michael Johns - "Across the Universe"...Ok..you know he is one of my top 2 BUT I will say, this song was good, but not great. He has SO much to offer and he has got an awesome voice. To me he sounds like Michael Hutchence. I know he has it in him...he just needed to sing a more upbeat song. I still adore him & still think it was one of the best perfomances of the night

Kristy - "Eight Days A Week" - horrible! I'm sorry, I didn't like it at all. There are risks and then there are big risks and she jumped past the big risk.

David A - "We Can Work It Out" - OMG! He forgot the lyrics !!! Didn't care for this at all.

Boy, this was a tough week for the contestants.

To me, the best performances in this order were:
  1. Chikezie - He did the best! He took over the stage & took over that song!
  2. David Cook
  3. Carly
  4. Michael Johns
So, what do you all think?

Thanks for visiting, and for your comments! We'll have to agree to disagree about David Cook. But I do think Carly is incredible.
