American Idol-Who Is Your Idol? (3/9/11)

Offically week one of the competition starts now. The Idols are singing songs from THEIR Idols. (Due to a long night last night, I will reviewing this episode solo.)

Lauren
Song: Any Man of Mine (Shania Twain)
This was alot of fun and energetic. She has a good voice for a song like this.
Rating (out of 5): ***1/2

Casey
Song: With A Little Help From My Friends (Joe Cocker)
Song started and I was questioning his choice but complete with backup singers this was really good.
Rating (out of 5): ***

Ashthon
Song: When You Tell Me That You Love Me (Diana Ross)
She did this really well, not sure if it was her best though.
Rating (out of 5): ***

Paul
Song: Come Pick Me Up (Ryan Adams)
To be honest, I'm not a big fan of his. Don't like he tone in his voice, don't like sparatic movements for no real reason. He's annoying. I don't know what people see in him.
Rating (out of 5): **

Pia
Song: All By Myself (Celine Dion)
This was great. No other words for it. Exactly what I expected and more. She can sing anything.
Rating (out of 5): ****

James
Song: Maybe I'm Amazed (Paul McCartney)
I really like how he sang this. He actually made it his own which I really enjoyed. After hearing so many Beatles songs on this show, it was nice.
Rating (out of 5): ***1/2

Haley
Song: Blue (LeAnn Rimes)
Wasn't a fan. Just think this was the wrong song for her.
Rating (out of 5): **1.2

Jacob
Song: I Believe I Can Fly (R Kelly)
How come I don't remember the Idols getting backup singers this early on in the past? This was really good. He's got the voice to pull this song off.
Rating (out of 5): ****

Thia
Song: Smile (Charlie Chaplin)
She sang this beautifully. It was well done.
Rating (out of 5): ****

Stefano
Song: Lately (Stevie Wonder)
This was good. Not the best at all but definately good.
Rating (out of 5): ***

Karen
Song: I Could Fall In Love (Selena)
This pick didn't surprise me at all. This was beautiful. She's got a great voice.
Rating (out of 5): ****1/2

Scotty
Song: The River (Garth Brooks)
Brillant. This guy is going to be HUGE in country for YEARS to come.
Rating (out of 5): ****1/2

Naima
Song: Umbrella (Rhianna)
My hatred for Rhianna as a whole, I thought this was good. She CAN sing and rap. Entertaining and fun.
Rating (out of 5): ***1.2

Should Go Home: Paul
Will Go Home: Haley
