I was watching the show and my thought bubble the entire time was, "Did I get sucked into an alternate universe? Have aliens taken over the Final 10?"
There is a magic to this show because there are stellar performances that just stay with you long after the show. The pixie dust was gone tonight. It was....a boring evening. It hurts me to say this as a die-hard AI fan, but I was just so disappointed!
First, song choices were totally off. I was watching Kellie and thinking her song was way too quirky. Hello, soap suds?
Second, what Simon calls the "wow" factor was missing. I will admit to having a soft spot for Ace because he can work it, and that entire soulful gazing-into-the-camera-as-if-you're-the-only-one-I'm-singing-to routine totally works for me. But, his latest performance did not send shivers down my spine. Far from his "Father Figure" performance. Dude, we need more substance from you.
Other comments on the performances: My all time fave Chris was a bit of a disappointment. I like Creed. I love rock and I love Chris. He will be making music professionally whatever happens on this show. But American Idol is American Idol, you do not do that kind of performance on a talent show! And, I'm starting to worry about his range. Chris, we need to see more of what you can do! Ryan's Celine Dion comment actually has a bit of merit. We need to see something different.
The only person who sent shivers down my spine was Elliot Yamin. I am starting to really like this guy: great sounding voice, personality, and even the dancing was endearing.
To sum it up, these contestants are on the hottest show on the planet. Being THE American Idol is supposed to be their heart's desire. So, they have to friggin SHINE at every performance! There are defining moments in life when you just have to fight. This show is a rare chance to live out a dream. Indulgent, cutesy performances totally not appreciated. The audience deserves so much more than the second rate performances of this utterly forgettable night.
