My detailed notes while watching last night's Idol (I'm not watching again till they cull this herd; holy suck, bottom half.) (no results spoils)

Michael Lynche, �Kiss You�

Big voice, unpolished, not his genre, transition from full voice to falsetto is too jarring to work well. Probably a top half singer, not a contender to win.

Didi Benami, �Playing With Fire�

Decent voice, not her genre, pitchy, high note miss, seemed to force her tempo a bit. Not the worst in the top 12 most likely, but a relatively early exit.

Casey James, �It�s All Over Now�

Isn�t paying enough attention to his vocals while he�s playing guitar. Good, not special. The guitar will keep him in for a few weeks, but no shot at winning.

Lacey Brown, �Ruby Tuesday�

Voice is instantly captivating. Not a pop star, though. I�m afraid she might get oustered earlier than she deserves. A little pitchy in spots, but the best thus far.

Andrew Garcia, �Gimme Shelter�

Will be gone in the first 3-4 weeks. Like, maybe this week. This is really epic suck.

Katie Stevens, �Wild Horses�

This isn�t much better than Andrew. Bottom three prediction.

Tim Urban

Oh look, a Jason Mraz wannabe who does nothing exceptionally well. I could see him coasting into the top half. His voice quality is ok, but he doesn�t have control over it. It�s possible he has better performances in him than this one.

Siobhan Magnus, �Paint It Black�

This arrangement huffs pole, and her voice is not in the same galaxy as what could win this. Poor. Very poor.

Lee Dewyze, �Beast of Burden�

Does every dude have a fucking guitar, and a lack of ability to sing? What the fuck. He will be the first guitar player gone. Then Tim. Casey is going to get to stay just by not blowing as hard as these other two choades.

Paige Miles, �Honky Tonk Woman�

She looked nervous and had nerve-pitchiness for like 3 seconds, but she owns by far the best instrument in this competition thus far. A couple more moments of minor pitchiness, but she just destroyed everyone. If the last two don�t rule, this shit is over right now. (She�s sick right now? Fuck, this shit is *over*.)

Aaron Kelly, �

Oh, stop, with the �I�m so sad sitting on the fucking stairs� poses to start these songs. This kid is better than the majority of those who came before, but gets curb stomped by Paige.

Crystal Bowersox, �You Can�t Always Get What You Want�

Yay, a guitar chick! A surprise twist! And you are easily better than every dude with a guitar. Easily.
