Analysis and Ranking of Top 8 American Idol Women
If you tuned in for the final eight ladies on “American Idol,” you witnessed a mediocre show. Overall, the ladies were pretty weak, but there were four women that really stood out — and you can find them in the top four positions on my list down there at the bottom. Were the ladies better than the guy’s performances last night? It’s a toss up!
Asia’h Epperson – She performed Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” and the house was dancing with her! Simon says, “Final six!” All I can say regarding her clothes, “4 out of 10.” U. G. L. Y.
Kady Malloy – Kady looked like a Jessica Alba-ish shooting star, but she did not sound like one. Her notes had the dogs barking outside of my railroad car!
Amanda Overmyer – She performed in her original rocker-chick style and hammered this one out of the park! Amanda is going to stay around and make things interesting.
Ramiele Malubay – Uh, no! Paula said, “She deserves to be in the final six.” I say “bottom six.”
Carly Smithson – It was a good solid performance. Paula congratulated her by saying, “You’re like a dependable dog.” By the way, do not piss Paula off.
Kristy Lee Cook – She performed with a mild country twist and it was just OK. Nothing to write home about here – especially if she leaves tonight.
Brooke White – She kept it simple with a little acoustic guitar and a lack of back up singers on “Love is a Battlefield.” And yes, there is a battlefield because she IS in this to win it! Real cool! Simon says, “Two weeks running you’ve given a great performance.”
Syesha Mercado – Another strong performance from Syesha. It wasn’t the best of the night, but it was in the top half.
They say you’re only as good as your last performance, so here is my ranking of the ladies based on last night’s performances:
- Amanda Overmyer
- Brooke White
- Syesha Mercado
- Carly Smithson
- Asia’h Epperson
- Kristy Lee Cook
- Ramiele Malubay
- Kady Malloy
Important Analysis of Top Eight Guys on American Idol
It’s a fight for the final six guys! Eight guys are chasing six spots for the top twelve, but two are on their way out after tonight! Who the hell is it going to be — and who’s going to be your next “American Idol?” The ladies perform tonight.
Overall, I have to say the show was pretty solid. There were some good performances, but I’m thinking “idle” overall, not “Idol.” Let’s go through the contestants in the order in which they performed:
Luke Menard — Luke fails to deliver a good performance once again. Randy Jackson called it “karaoke” and that, in my opinion, is a compliment!
David Archuleta — We all know he’s a front-runner, but his performance this week was not nearly as good as the week prior. He was good, but I was expecting amazing once again. He aint going nowhere but up!
Danny Noriega — This guy is a loser! I hate everything about him. Oh, and his singing sucked!
David Hernandez — He didn’t take off any clothes like in his stripping past, but he should have taken his ass right off the stage. Sorry, this guy is not going to go much further.
Michael Johns — Michael did a good job, but he’s not going to win at the end. A good and stable performance.
David Cook — David rocked the house! He looked like a rock star and he sounded like one, as well. His performance this week may keep him around for quite some time. He gained a lot of fans this week!
Jason Castro — He did better than last week, but it wasn’t quite there. Simon “loved it,” but I wasn’t blown away. We got to see him with his guitar, but something about him is not saying, “Idol.”
Chikeze — This guy is good, but doesn’t have a shot at winning it. He’s consistently become better and better, but I think he, Luke, and/or Danny get their golden tickets home on this week. Sorry jacuzi, I mean Chikeze.
Guys ranked by last night’s performances:
- David Cook
- David Archuleta
- Michael Johns
- Jason Castro
- Chikeze
- David Hernandez
- Danny Noriega
- Luke Menard

Taylor Swift: Review of Her Debut Album

And with her 12 string guitar, she does a fabulous job of blending modern country with the traditional.
Jessica Simpson Blows It
Jess blew it this time! Singer and sometimes actress Jessica Simpson was in tears last night after totally blowing a song she was performing during the Kennedy Center Honors. Jessica was on stage to sing “Nine to Five” as part of the tribute to Dolly Parton, who was one of the evening’s five honorees. Jessica Simpson ended her performance abrupty with the words “…so nervous” and quickly walked off the stage. The stunned audience remained silent and did not even applaud
