Idol 2/15

By Tanya

Room One:

- The first two women were good, but I don't recognize anyone I love.
- I don't like Angel Higgs.
- Guess: this room's gone.
- I do like the hoarse girl. Rashida. She looks like Aretha, too.
- I like the preacher too, but I'm staying with my guess.
- Result: Gone.

Room Two:

- Jamar's hideous. Can they de-slut him? Writing his own song is very ballsy. They'll eat that up.
- Mario. The guy all the girls love. His mom called him "bubbie." Very sweet, but they're going to find her body in a river. Damn. His voice is CLEAN. I'm not sure I've noticed him before, other than commenters here screaming about how kewt he is.
- Matthew Kester. Nice high note. Very nice.
- Guess: They're in.
- Oklahoma girl. Carrie. I don't like country, so it's hard to judge. She has a lot of heart and great teeth.
- Constantine's in this room.
- Judd - belting Mustang Sally. He's totally got the crowd. That's probably enough for the judges.
- Oh. Anwar's in there. They're definitely in.
- Vonzell - a lot of "uh"s (I feel-uh) but not bad.
- Result - In.

Room Three:

- My redhead's in room three.
- Desmond Meeks is the guy Paula cried for. That's bad news.
- Guess: This room's gone.
- Jennifer Todd has a great voice, but she's not an idol.
- Carrie Zaruba has a nice bar room voice. Too smoky for this show.
- Is Asia Aa’shia like 11? Her mom's loud. She reminds me of my baby sister, except my baby sister can sing. This chick sounds like a chipmunk.
- Larry Ellis has very nice range, but that note was so flat.
- Ross definitely scats decently, but I wouldn't have gone that route, and he was very unhappy with it.
- Result: Gone.

Room Four:

- Anthony Federov and Nadia Turner are both in there. This room's obvious.
- Guess: They're in.
- 1513 is a little kid (Beautiful disaster, but not the 311 song?) and her voice sounds dead to me.
- 37691 has a nice voice but bad nerves.
- Scott Sowel does have a great voice, but he's overdramatizing tonight.
- Mikalah, the baby. I love this song, but Lisa Simpson did it better. She has incredible heart, especially for a 16 year old.
- Lindsey Cardinale - another bar voice. I loved her in New Orleans, tho.
- A lot of these people are losing me, but I'm sticking with my guess because two of the best are in the room.
- Jessica Sierra looks exactly like Ginger Spice. Again, I'm no judge of country, but she has good spirit.
- Result: In.

Endgame:

"There ain't no next year" is so the wrong attitude (if you're under 28). If you think like that, you don't deserve to make it.

44 left. 20 more go tomorrow. Fortunately they have the sense to run it after Lost.

(cross-posted, as usual. i'm boring like that.)
