American Idol - top 20, the girls

Well, it's time for the girls - they're still being hush hush about Crystal, but they let her go first. Let's go, and I'll try to stay as brief as I can given that any time spent on this is probably superfluous...

Crystal Bowersox: "As Long as I Can See The Light" - I would totally buy this record. Of course, with iTunes I could, and probable won't, but I would. Love it.

Haeley Vaughn: "The Climb" - and the hands releases, and she falls.

Lacey Brown: "Kiss Me" - Good for sixpence to get some royalty $  - she was okay, but it's not a "singer's song." and her nerves get the best of her.

Katie Stevens: "Put Your Records On" - Much better than last week, she's got potential to become a player in the competition.

Didi Benami: "Lean On Me" - Boy I could be okay not ever hearing this song again. She's okay though, this performance shows that her little accents and tone are really her, their not imitating Adele per se.

Michelle Delemour: "With Arms Wide Open" - Congrats Creed, you've arrived. As for Michelle, well... meh. That was a lot of things, but good was not one of them.

Lilly Scott: "A Change is Gonna Come" - Another one where I would totally buy it if I could but I can't even though I can so I won't when I could. Loved it. These indie freaks can actually sing, and they're putting the "singers" who don't have any personality on notice.

Katelyn Epperly: "The Scientist" - That was Streisand-ian. At first I was put off by the dramatic tempo change, but I eventually bought it. A bronze medal for sure.

Paige Miles: "Walk Away" - Simon's right, she's got the best effortless voice. The problem is, the effortlessness looks like she doesn't care as much, so I'm not sure that I do...

Siobhan Magnus: "Think" - She looks like she came off of the Desperate Housewives set. I swear her unpronounceable name will either be her undoing or her saving grace. Holy moley that last note. She might be an alien.

Okay, well, that's it. Lovin' me some Crystal and Lilly. Okay, I know their names now.

Sha-vahn. Seriously, how hard is that. Of course, hers is the only name I know. That's what I get for baking cookies and trying to pay attention.

Creed made me giggle, especially since she said she works with church kids and my son always said their lead singer had a "Christ complex." I was waiting her outstretched arms...

LOVED Crystal and Lilly both, and really enjoyed Katelyn as well. I don't know the original song, so the tempo didn't bother me at all. She can sing!

Siobhan 'might be an alien' ... that actually made me LOL, for real. Did you know her uncle (apparently) is the bass player for Stryper. To me, that explains a lot. Maybe she has a Michael Sweet complex? I like her for her predictable unpredictability.

I also like Crystal (apparently had a diabetic crash) & Lily the most .. and then there's Katelyn. She's sly, that one.

Could not stand Paige's rendition of "Walk Away". I had to stop watching & fast-forward thru it. Also did not enjoy Michelle's performance. I thought the judges were too harsh with Didi. Obviously the studio experience is way different than the TV, whatever. Lacey is adorable, but she sounds vocally weak in some areas & that really frustrates me. As for Haeley, The Climb was excruciating. Katie's been boring so far.

I'm looking forward to what Crystal, Lily, Siobhan, Katelyn & Didi bring this wk.
