Edit on Idol: Top 10 Women

Posted on: Thursday, February 28th, 2008 in: American Idol, FOX, Reality T.V., television

Carly Smithson - Not too “crazy” about the song choice, but she didn’t do anything to get knocked out this week. She’s good, but the problem is, she hasn’t hit her stride yet and I don’t know how many more chances she’s going to have to live up to her stellar potential. She’s much, much […]

Kristy Lee Cook - An all right performance … nothing that stood out. She seemed a bit uncomfortable. She’ll be gone before the end of March.
Joanne Borgella - People who don’t watch AI always sneer as they say that’s it’s nothing but a karaoke show. Well, in this case I agree.

First things, first: Poor song choice is the pitfall for even the best of singers. These contestants aren’t the best of singers. Some are good, some are average, but none of them are great. So choosing the best song that represents their range well, as well as one that allows them to put on a […]
