American Idol 6, Episode 11: Top 12 Girls

Published by Kaonashi February 21st, 2007 in American Idol.

The ladies have their turn in the spotlight tonight as they take the stage on American Idol. As predicted by some people, they overall did better than the guys last night. Perhaps they learned something from the guys’ performance and the judges’ remarks, or perhaps they’re just better. Regardless, some of the ladies were downright amazing.

Simon and Ryan seemed to have reconciled after their little tiff on Tuesday, but there was still some mild bantering at the start of the show. I swear- someone should just arm them withswords, toss them in the middle of an arena and have them battle it out. I’d pay money to see that.

I shall be grouping the ladies under “Good”, “Better”, and “Best” because that’s how much better they were than the guys. Granted, there were a few unmemorable performances but overall the ladies shone bright tonight.

Good

Amy Krebs: Unfortunately, Amy is one of those people whom I have trouble remembering. She just doesn’t stand out in voice, looks, or personality. She has a nice tone to her voice, but it was boring, and for the life of me I can’t even remember what she sang.

Antonella Barba: So far the most well-known Season Six contestant, especially due to some racy pictures that recently popped up on the internet, Antonella does an okay version of Aerosmith’s “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing”. However, the judges didn’t care for it. Simon said that the song was so big for her that it swallowed her up and doesn’t think she’ll be back next week.

Nicole Tranquillo: Like Amy, Nicole is one of those forgettable singers with very little personality. She’s not bad and has a strong voice, but she didn’t really stand out in my opinion.

Haley Scarnato: How unimaginative do you have to be to a.) Sing a Celine Dion song, and b.) Sing the same song that you did during the Hollywood rounds? Haley’s a very good singer with a strong voice, but she’s gotta do better than this if she wants people to remember her.

Alaina Alexander: Alaina is very cute, pretty, and has a great voice, but like Haley before her, Alaina’s performance wasn’t memorable. As the judges said, she didn’t make the song her own.

Better

Leslie Hunt: I don’t think Leslie’s initial audition was aired, so the audience’s unfamiliarity with her may hurt her a bit. However, I thought that she showed some personality and spunk in her performance, in spite of Randy thinking that the song was too big for her. She won’t make the Top 12, but she’ll be back next week.

Sabrina Sloan: Randy said that she was the one to beat. Although I disagree with him in light of performances after her, I do agree in that she put on a great show. Sabrina was energetic and did well on the song.

Best

Jordin Sparks: This 17-year-old pulled out the stops by taking Tracy Chapman’s “Give Me One Reason” and making it her own. She was alive, energetic, and was terrific. The judges encouraged Jordin to keep taking risks and pushing herself.

Melinda Doolittle: The former backup singer is coming out of her shell as she grows accustomed to the spotlight. Her body language still hints at her insecurity (hunched shoulders), but her voice said otherwise. Now that Melinda’s gotten a taste at being up front, I don’t think she’ll be going back.

Gina Glocksen: I’ve been a fan of Gina since I first saw her audtion, so I’m a little biased towards her. Simon didn’t think she nailed that high note during “All By Myself”, but I beg to differ. She was great! She’s totally Top 12 material.

Lakisha Jones: Wow, talk about ending the evening with a bang! Lakisha sang “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going,” which Ryan needlessly reminds us was performed by Academy Award nominee and former Idol contestant Jennifer Hudson. Lakisha wasn’t quite as good as Jennifer, but it was still clearly one of the two best performances of the competition thus far. Simon boldly commented, “I’m tempted to tell 23 people to book their plane tickets home.” Wow, that’s huge coming from Simon.

I think that the two ladies going home this week are Amy Krebs and Nicole Tranquillo. As I mentioned, their singing wasn’t bad, but I don’t think that many people remembered them when it came time to vote.

Thursday night is the Results episode, which will feature a performance by Season Three winner Fantasia.
