2-17-2009 American Idol LIVE Update

Jackie - Forgot what she sang already. Just kidding. But it didn't do much for me. Good entertainer, but I don't think she has what Simon calls the "it" factor. My grade: C-

Braddy Bunch - I thought he sang really well! So what if he's a nice and shy guy? Who doesn't have alter egos (ahem, Beyonce vs. Sasha Fierce)? My grade: A-

Alexis - Boy can she sing?! Not the best song choice for her range but definitely an old soul for just a 21-year-old! I'm not sure if she reminds me of Kelly Clarkson, but I do hope she advances. My grade: B+

Brent - I thought he did just okay. I thought the song was fun but it didn't do much for me. My grade: C-

Stevie - Boy, oh boy, Stevie. What happened?! You did so well at your audition! I was rooting for you! But you picked an absolutely wrong song for yourself! I think you just blew your chance. My grade: D-

Anoop-Dogg - Very interesting choice of song. Nice voice but song not fitting at all and didn't showcase what you can do. My grade: C

Casey - She always reminded me of Rachel Bilson for some reason. But girl, looking cute can only get you so far when the talent is not really there. I thought the performance was almost as bad as Stevie's performance. My grade: D-

Michael (aka Ryan's twin) - I think he has a nice voice and he's definitely got the "like-ability" factor. I don't think he has the "it" factor to be a star, but I think his like-ability factor can get him pretty far. My grade: B


Ann Marie - Way too big of a song for her. She may have a nice clean voice that is better fitted for a Lee Ann Womack song, but not Aretha! She ain't got soul to back it up! My grade: D-

Stephen - For me, wrong choice of song. His voice is so nice and smooth and soulful...He should have picked Brian McKnight or something. Just wrong choice of song. My grade: C-

Tatiana - Annoying laugh aside, she does have a pretty nice full voice. Whitney songs are big and not too many people can pull it off, either can she. But surprisingly a nice attempt though. Better than Ann Marie's attempt in Aretha. Was it just me or did she look like a combination of Isla Fisher and Katharine McPhee in her clip and pictures? My grade: C+

Danny - I've been a fan. I think he's great and will go far. I have to admit that before he auditioned and told his sob story, I was like, oh gosh, not another one of those (Kelli Pickler). But he can sing! And I now do feel bad for his loss. Anyway, I love the soul in his voice. It is so unique! I thought tonight's performance wasn't his best, but I am sure he will make it through. I am still a fan. My grade: A-
