Idol Thoughts: Top 12...Cooke, Chikeze and Carly Rock, Archuletta Stumbles and Simon Cowell's....

Overall last night’s performances were good, this week one goes home. As strong as some performances were it was easy to pick out the bad ones last night. Ramiele had by far the weakest performance of the night. If she manages to stick around another week it’s in thanks to her fan base. She has a solid voice and showed it last night, but I was bored with the song and I think America was as well. Another possibility is Michael, he’s almost too ordinary right now. I’ll give one more possibility, Amanda..as I said in the rundown, how much screaming can one nation take. If she doesn’t go this week, her’s may be numbered.

As far as who’s going it’s pretty clear. More on the podcast about last night, including Chikeze, the new set and look, plus the ‘bad’ of the night….

Idol Thoughts: Top 10 Women...Carly is the Standard, Brooke Channels Carly and I Hope Asia'h Isn't Forgettable...

Carly was very impressive last night, as was Brooke...after those two it kind of fell off a little. I did enjoy Sayesha's performance even if the judges didn't so much. 70's week was a lot more enjoyable for me to watch and listen to compared to last weeks show.
Their out of the gate now and I look forward to no more nerves for this season, until we get to the Top 10. It's all about song choice and the montages...I talk more about them and my thoughts on who's headed home this week in the podcast.
