Well here we are, one of the toughest nights of the Idol season, Top 4 nights and the best part is that it's of my favorite themes, "Music from the Cinema."
First off, Jamie Foxx should just come back every year till the show goes off the air. He is by far of the best celebrity mentors. He did an amazing job last year, this year was no different. This is two great mentors in a row. Great job Idol on that!
Now onto the performances. Is it bad that the whole night I was scratching my head wondering where the song selections came from? Except for Big Mike, I kinda felt like they were really random selections. I'll explain why.
Lee-Kiss from A Rose
I love this song. And I thought Lee would do a great job with it. It was good, I'm not going to say it wasn't but it wasn't GREAT. It was odd for him to sing this because it just didn't mesh his voice that well and I figured he would have done a faster song. But overall, it was good and I did lose Mandy for a few minutes because her man was just in a zone for her. (3 out of 5)
Mike-Will You Be There?
I thought this was fantastic. Best solo of the night by none. The judges didn't seem to like it, but I thought it was well done and you felt it. He can pull off MJ big time and it's a classic song. (4 out of 5)
Casey-Mrs. Robinson
Huh? Where did this even come from? It was okay. But not good. It showed me he just doesn't belong here. The real question is though, was he really singing to Kara? Maybe that's why he sang it because he knew the judges would be so thrown by the song and lyrics that they would ignore the fact it wasn't that good. Didn't work so well at home. (2 out of 5)
Crystal-I'm Alright
Another WTF moment. Really? The song from Caddyshack? That's the best she could come up with? Here's a girl who survived all the other girls because she is an amazing singer, and she has an entire movie song catalog and this is the best she could come up with? Wow. I was in shock last night. She looked amazingly hot which helped big time but damn, that was bad for her, it was something I would have expected from Tim. (2 out of 5)
Crystal and Lee-Falling Slowly
Mandy and I were both in our glory on this one. This was spot on amazing. They could perform this on the tour and no one will complain. They could release that on the radio and no one would even blink. Their chemistry was amazing and the eye contact was unreal. I loved it and already on the song on my MP3 player. (5 out of 5)
Casey and Mike-Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?
"As a matter of fact, yes, I have loved a woman!"-Ellen
This was another great duet. It surprised me how well Casey and Mike's voices mesh together. It was incredible. But it was obvious that Mike is the better singer of the two because he totally carried the first half of the song. (5 out of 5)
Overall it was a weird but good night. Honestly, I think Casey will be going home. He was the weakest tonight, especially in his solo. And if we are basing it on the duets, because they miles better than the solos on this night, then Casey is definitely heading home tonight. I am looking forward to tonight though, Daughtry and BON JOVI are going to be on!
