On last year's "American Idol," the girls outshined the guys by a mile during those first few episodes. This year, it's the mirror opposite. The girls su-hucked tonight...
Kristy Lee Cook
Selma, OR
"Rescue Me"
Mediocrity at its best. This wasn't as bad as the judges thought, but it was simple-minded pop fluff.
Joanne Borgella
I missed where she's from.
"Say A Little Prayer"
Pitchy. No pow, no bam. Not good at all.
Alaina Whitaker
Tulsa, OK
"Love You More Today"
Ok...I couldn't stand this chick the minute Ryan started interviewing her. Birthday? Shoes? She's the epitome of everything that is wrong with American teenagers today. She turned in a sub-par performance. The vocal was pitchy, it was crappy, and she stunk.
Amanda Overmeyer
Mulberry, IN
"Baby, Please Don't Go"
This gal is Elvira, Lily Munster, and Joan Jett all rolled into one. As for her performance...ok...I get it sweetheart...you know how to rock. And you do it well.
Amy Davis
Lowell, IN
"Where the Boys Are"
From the first note her performance made me wonder how the hell she got past the early Hollywood round. I mean really...that was singing? The worst of the night.
Brooke White
Mesa, AZ
"Happy Together"
Not as bad as Amy, but not good by any stretch. Below average.
Alexandrea Lushington
Douglasville, GA
"Spinning Wheel"
She had lots of energy, a strong stage presence, and a great deal of confidence. But...she had real trouble reaching those high notes and that made for a pretty bad performance overall.
Kady Malloy
Houston, TX
"Groovy Kind of Love"
I'm on a totally opposite page than the judges with this one. That is how you sing! She turned in a strong vocal without the whole "vocal olympics" thing. One of the better performances of the night.
Asia'h Epherson
Joplin, MO
"Piece of My Heart"
She nailed it! This was the best performance of the night. It was Janis Joplin meets Tina Turner. A superb rendition of the rock classic.
Ratatouille Mumbasa
I have no idea where she's from.
I have no idea what she sang.
Can you say "lounge singer?" Good vocal, but nothing special.
Syesha Mercado
Sarasota, FL
"Tobacco Road"
Sloppy arrangement but a very good vocal. And her personality absolutely shines!
Carly Smithson
San Diego, CA
What song was this?
For having had a contract before, this was only an above-average performance. She's professional, she can sing, but it wasn't the best of the night. Not by any stretch.
