American Idol:Top 12 Women (3/2/11)

Night two of the first week of Idol. It's all the females. Top 5 advance on Thursday's show. "Time to take it to the moon..." (Whatever that means)

Ta-Tynisa
Song: Only Girl (In The World)
Blake: Felt flat and off to me. Didn't really like it. And her outfit completely distracted me.
Rating (out of 5): ***
Mandy: Way too karaoke, sounded like I was listening to a fantastic Rhianna impersonator.
Safe/Going Home/Wild Card: Going Home/Going Home

Naima
Song: Summertime
Blake: She has alot of charisma and a good different voice. I like her.
Rating (out of 5): ***1/2
Mandy: No one could beat her in Forensics, no one could beat her here. (Side note:She went to high school with my best friend with did Forensics with me.)
Safe/Going Home/Wild Card: Safe/Safe

Kendra
Song: Impossible
Blake: I never heard this song before tonight. Hopefully we weren't the only ones. Alright I guess, tried way too hard.
Rating (out of 5): **1/2
Mandy: Song selection is key. No one knows this song so no one is going to remember her.
Safe/Going Home/Wild Card: Going Home/Going Home

Rachel
Song: Criminal
Blake: Very sassy. Very broadway. Very over the top. Not really sure what to say. It's good but strange to be honest.
Rating (out of 5): ***
Mandy: Fiona Apple should never be Broadway stylied.
Safe/Going Home/Wild Card: Going Home/Going Home

Karen
Song: Hero
Blake: One of my all time favorite songs. Never heard someone sing Spanlish this early on but I really loved it. Original take and sounded beautiful..
Rating (out of 5): ****1/2
Mandy: She just showed that a Latina knows how to do it.
Safe/Going Home/Wild Card: Safe/Safe

Lauren T.
Song: Seven Day Fool
Blake: Good, not much else I can say. She's entertaining, I just wish I knew the song to really enjoy it.
Rating (out of 5): ***1/2
Mandy: I like it but not sure if America will. If she could sing a song I don't know that well, I want to see her sing a song I do know.
Safe/Going Home/Wild Card: Safe/Safe

Ashthon
Song: Love All Over Me
Blake: Too over the top. Too much trying to be more important than she actually is. And well, I just didn't care.
Rating (out of 5): ***
Mandy: If this was season 3, she'd be fabulous but it's not. And stop talking to the crowd! We haven't paid to see you! The only diva I wanna hear is Jennifer.
Safe/Going Home/Wild Card: Going Home/Going Home

Julie
Song: Breakaway
Blake: Always risky to sing a Idol winner alum song. Just blah for me. Felt flat the whole way through like she didn't know how to take it to the next gear.
Rating (out of 5): ***
Mandy: Really pagenty Sounds like she's competing in Miss America.
Safe/Going Home/Wild Card: Going Home/Going Home

Haley
Song: Fallin'
Blake: Felt like she was doing her best Alica Keys impression. But she's got a good voice. Just wish she showed it more.
Rating (out of 5): ***1/2
Mandy: Once the music hit she was trying way too hard. Jennifer said she saw a raindow of colors, all I saw was brown.
Safe/Going Home/Wild Card: Going Home/Going Home

Thia
Song: Out Here On My Own
Blake: Her voice is beautiful. She looks like Tina from Glee. Really well done. Can't believe she's just 15.
Rating (out of 5): ****
Mandy: She did a beautiful but if anything song selection will kill her.
Safe/Going Home/Wild Card: Wild Card/Wild Card

Lauren A
Song: Turn On The Radio
Blake: You need a real attitude to pull this song off, and she has that attitude. Well done.
Rating (out of 5): ****1/2

Safe/Going Home/Wild Card: Safe/Safe

Pia
Song: I'll Stand By You
