  5. Jordan Pack says:

    Jasmine is singing “Love Song” by Sara Bareilles.

  6. Bill Mitchell says:

    Well, my man Adam gets the pimp spot – no shock there. Jasmine is surprisingly thin sounding here. I think part of the problem is the sound system is just HORRIBLE this year.

  7. Bill Mitchell says:

    Gotta give that a big “meh” from Jasmine. Very pitchy. Simple songs like this really really expose a thin voice.

  8. Idol Battles says:

    Jasmin… and there goes one of the favorites for the girls…

  9. Bill Mitchell says:

    Wow, Matt Giraud is going second? Ouch, that’s a tough spot to be. Didn’t Ricky go second last week?

  10. Bill Mitchell says:

    Geesh Matt Giraud sounds AWFUL! OMG, it’s a pitchfest. Whew, two early strong contenders are blowin it hard core. I don’t recall his voice sounding this bad. Also, another terrible song choice.

  11. Idol Battles says:

    I think he’s trying really, really hard to sound like Coldplay… Which isn’t going to bode well…

    Too many people LOVE that song… And I don’t think it did it justice AT ALL. 0/2

  12. Idol Battles says:

    Wow… That was pretty much horrendous also… WOW… 0/3

    This is ouch!

  13. sara says:

    A rough start again this week! Nerves and bad song choices! Go Norman!

  14. Idol Battles says:

    Well, you can always count on Normund to be entertaining! lol… Sadly, he’s by far the best so far lol

  15. 14K Lady says:

    What they just did to Jeanine was disgusting. To talk about someone’s legs and lips like that is unbelieveable. Now that stupid a**hole is on the stage acting like a fool and I hope he wins the entire show and this show comes to a sick end.

  16. zBella says:

    Holy Moly! Norman’s got big guts to do a performance like that and you’re so right Idol Battles, he is the best so far. Who knows with how the night has gone he may end up being the best!

  17. lindsay says:

    oww…what did normund sing??

  18. Joes Place says:

    Normund “And I am telling you”

  19. lindsay says:

    again? oh well.

  20. Idol Battles says:

    Well, FINALLY! Allison rocked the house… and on a song I was very, very afraid of… I think she’s going to sail through

  21. Rachel says:

    Well I couldn’t remember Allison before but that was INCREDIBLE!!! 0/3 before that. Though Norman was funny. Love Man in the Mirror, let’s see what he does!

  22. Bill Mitchell says:

    Um, is it just me or are the background singers TOTALLY off-key tonight.

  23. Rachel says:

    Wow Kris! Please don’t say he was boring, judges! He was great! Tonight is turning out to be WAY different than I thought! Good luck Jasmine, but I think you’re done after these two and Adam coming up…

  24. Bill Mitchell says:

    You know, it HAS got to eb the sound system that is making these singers voices sound so thin tonight. No one’s voice has any timbre or resonance to it.

    Terrible sound system – terrible backup singers.

  25. Idol Battles says:

    Kris can for sure sing… But with the song… and the performance, he kinda reminds me of a N’Sync type artist… I think he had a great chance, and I agree with Kara and this was the way wrong song.

  26. Bill Mitchell says:

    I thought tonight was gonna be amazing but so far it had completely sucked IMHO. I guess we are seeing what happens when you let 36 people perform instead of 24. You get a lot of suck.

  27. Joes Place says:

    So far the only one I have loved is Nick. I was dying. so funny

  28. Bill Mitchell says:

    So far, seriously i have heard better music on karaoke night.

  29. Rachel says:

    OMG MEGAN! AMAZING! Jeez! What is this? This was supposed to be the sucky night@

  30. Bill Mitchell says:

    Megan’s voice is interesting, but very thin. I can see getting very tired of it.

  31. Idol Battles says:

    Okay, I’m in LOVE… That’s the best of the night BY FAR… Megan Corkrey FTW!

    Will you marry me?

  32. Bill Mitchell says:

    Megan’s problem is that she is VERY shouty on the big notes. Very flat too. Loved the first part of the song, hated the second part. She could sound very good and interesting mixed in the studio.

  33. Bill Mitchell says:

    HATIN the full arm tatoo on her. Why the heck would such a cute girl get that monstrosity on her arm? It makes no sense.

  34. Rachel says:

    Agreed about the tattoo!

  35. Bill Mitchell says:

    Man, all of these singers voices are just so thin. Right about now I am missing me some David Cook. Matt had some good momenst there, but when he had a chance to blow us away he just didn’t.

  36. Bill Mitchell says:

    The problem is that these songs they are chosing don’t BUILD to anyything. The song has no MOMENT. Ugh, terrible night.

  37. Idol Battles says:

    I love that song that Matt sang… But I don’t know if it’s the best song to sing on American Idol… Unless you’re completely amazing, and he wasn’t… good, not amazing…

  38. Bill Mitchell says:

    I am thinking we might get two women and a man tonight. I am expecting Jesse to nail it – she is a pro.

    I have always hated this song but she is singin it well. Excellent pitch. She is in Top 12 based on this.

  39. Rachel says:

    I REALLY want to like her. She’s not as good as Allison and Megan though… Maybe a wildcard?

  40. Idol Battles says:

    Jesse has pretty eyes… She’s not bad… Not great… Take about everything I said about Matt and it applies… Good, not great…

  41. Rachel says:

    See and I feel like even if she goes through, she wont last long… Again, I really WANT to like her…

  42. Bill Mitchell says:

    So far, I give tonight a 4 out of 10. This season so far has been a complete disappointment to me. Please Adam, save us from mediocrity.

  43. Bill Mitchell says:

    Does Kai have the ability to sing more than one note? Listen to him. Every single not was exactly the same.

  44. Idol Battles says:

    So, I am digging the song choice for Kai… The best guy thus far.. Although, that’s not incredibly difficult… And my parents, who are watching, loved it also…

  45. Rachel says:

    I’m pretty sure he looks and sounds like an axe murderer. I am a little bit scared of him; I’m not gonna lie…

  46. Bill Mitchell says:

    From what I’ve seen of the men tonight, Adam doesn’t even need to sing, he can just stand up there and take a bow and make the final 12.

  47. Bill Mitchell says:

    FINALLY, a performance worthy of Idol from Mish. She is through.

  48. Rachel says:

    Totally right about Adam. But seriously what is going with the girls?! Mishavonna! AMAZING!

  49. Idol Battles says:

    <3… I’m so glad they saved the best for last… Mishavonna… HOT! Lovin’ it. Took a good song, made it her own without ruining it…

    PS… they backup band should be fired, shot, and never allowed on TV, ever.. ever… ever… My god, they are terrible…

  50. Bill Mitchell says:

    C’mon Adam, save us dude. You have it in you, I hope like heck you chose a good song.
