Girls Night Out, Part 2

By Michele

Welcome to another fun filled evening.

I'm thinking of making up an American Idol drinking game just go get me through until we reach the final ten or so.

Katherine was ok. No oomph, really, but it was sweet. Not enough to really make me applaud her, though.

Kinnik up, doing some country.

Something about her voice I don't like. It sounds like she's got something in the back of her throat. It's a fun song and she has a good stage presence, but I'm just not feeling the voice.

Lisa, my favorite girl, up next.

How cute is she?

I don't think she's as strong as she was last week, but she is still pretty damn awesome. And I still think she's the best girl there.

Melissa up. She's dressed like a high school slut. She sounds terrible. Don't like her voice, don't like her outfit.

I am in total disagreement with Randy and Paula. TOTAL. Do. Not. Like. This. Chick.

Heather up. I really don't like this song, and she is not doing anything special with it.

That was pretty damn boring.

Brenna is up.

Geez, are there any girls I like this season besides Lisa? Because I can't stand this one, etiher.

Too much looking at the camera.

She sounds like a Studio 54 cabaret act. ICK.

Holy shit, Brenna whipped out the Ego of Death!

Paris up. Lord, I despise this song.

I feel like she's struggling with this.

Ok, she's hitting it at the end, but this is stil not the Paris we saw at auditions. I keep waiting for her to pull something big out of her hat.

Ayla up. And, you guessed it, I don't like her. I am just a flower of happiness tonight.

She's pretty good though. I just don't see her as a pop idol, but I think this is the best performance so far tonight.

PICK PICKLER! is up next.

Need I say? I HATE HER.

She is flat. Not pitch flat, just feeling flat.

Nope, nope, nope. I thought it was lifeless.

Mandisa up.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice.

This is what I've been waiting for. For someone to show some punch, sing their heart out. Everyone else looks like they were holding back compared to her.

Right now I think Brenna and Heather will be gone.

See you tomorrow.

I'll drink to that!

Ya know..if they'd cut the schtick, we could get on with the show and it wouldn't last so long.

Posted by: Timmer at February 28, 2006 08:04 PM

Although if those two start making out...

Posted by: Timmer at February 28, 2006 08:05 PM

Who stabbed the cat?!

Posted by: Timmer at February 28, 2006 08:06 PM

Katharine was doing OK until she hit the high register and then I learned a whole new meaning of "sharp".

Posted by: Ian S. at February 28, 2006 08:06 PM

My new dental work is vibrating.

Posted by: Timmer at February 28, 2006 08:06 PM

Oooo....Katherine was awful. Jim & I are drinking a toast to the AI drinking game.

Posted by: Faith at February 28, 2006 08:07 PM

I really liked her in the past.

Kinda bummed about her performance tonight.

Posted by: Timmer at February 28, 2006 08:09 PM

Wow, that was bad. Not nearly as good as last week. What happend girl?

Posted by: chris at February 28, 2006 08:09 PM

Can someone remind me again why Paul is on this show? She's like a little Randy Jackson cheerleader.

I like Katherine, but that was bloody awful.

Posted by: nastybastard at February 28, 2006 08:12 PM

Oops, I meant Paula.

Posted by: nastybastard at February 28, 2006 08:13 PM

Kinnik doing country? This could be interesting.

Posted by: chris at February 28, 2006 08:13 PM

I don't care what ya'll say, I kinda like Kinnik.

Posted by: Faith at February 28, 2006 08:15 PM

Kinnik.

I'm thinkin' she should have left this song in her living room.

This is sounding really rough.

Posted by: Timmer at February 28, 2006 08:15 PM

So do I. That wasn't too bad. Much better than the food coma song Katherine sang. All in all not a bad performance.

Posted by: chris at February 28, 2006 08:16 PM

Yeah...good performance...didn't do anything for her voice.

Posted by: Timmer at February 28, 2006 08:16 PM

I agree with Randy. I didn't like her singing that Gretchen Wilson song, but it was ok. Maybe I'm just grumpy tonight.

Posted by: nastybastard at February 28, 2006 08:16 PM

Kinnik was kinda meh. Not awful, not outstanding.

Posted by: Ian S. at February 28, 2006 08:17 PM

Well, it was good. Not great, but good. I think there will be many worse tonight. It will keep her around another week, and that's a good thing

Posted by: chris at February 28, 2006 08:18 PM

OK, why the hell is Lisa's bra sticking out???

Posted by: Faith at February 28, 2006 08:23 PM

because she doesn't want people thinking she's 16.

Posted by: chris at February 28, 2006 08:24 PM

Posted by: Timmer at February 28, 2006 08:24 PM

That wasn't for Lisa, that was for Catherine.

Posted by: Timmer at February 28, 2006 08:25 PM

I'm loving Lisa's voice.

Posted by: Timmer at February 28, 2006 08:25 PM

Bra sticking out aside, that was awesome.

Posted by: Faith at February 28, 2006 08:26 PM

Lisa's a little off last week's amazing performance, but that's still better than almost everyone here.

Posted by: Ian S. at February 28, 2006 08:26 PM

This is not impressive at all. Not nearly as good as last week. Again, Good, not great.

Posted by: chris at February 28, 2006 08:26 PM

Finally someone doing better than last week. This isn't bad. Not bad at all. A vast improvement from last week.

Posted by: chris at February 28, 2006 08:30 PM

Melissa always seems like she's on the verge of belting it out. It's like she's holding back something but I don't know what it is.

Posted by: Timmer at February 28, 2006 08:30 PM

Tim: Yeah. She came close to being great at a few points but didn't quite make it. I like it when she has that "smokiness" in her voice - it's very sexy.

Posted by: Ian S. at February 28, 2006 08:32 PM

Okay, I HATE this song so I'm just gonna shut up.

Posted by: Timmer at February 28, 2006 08:38 PM

I hate Mariah Carey, and I hate this performance of her.

Posted by: Ian S. at February 28, 2006 08:40 PM

Heather stunk last week and this is major improvement. Wow. Much better. Dare I say the best of the night so far?

Posted by: chris at February 28, 2006 08:40 PM

Didn't hear Nanny McPhee sing, but the "We're Roomies" clip with her and Kellie was basically stupid.

Kinnik singing country...ok...not great.

Lisa good, but a little off-key.

Melissa, ok, but forgettable.

Heather...kinda boring.

Posted by: Denise at February 28, 2006 08:42 PM

Heather is *totally* a Heather, if you know what I mean.

Posted by: Ian S. at February 28, 2006 08:43 PM

He just said Brenna. My skin is already crawling. Where is Jack Bauer when we need him?

Posted by: chris at February 28, 2006 08:43 PM

Brenna - well, I like her dress and her earrings

Posted by: Denise at February 28, 2006 08:49 PM

Dear God, she sounds like Jack showed up and started working on her. Please Jack finish her off...

Posted by: chris at February 28, 2006 08:49 PM

Now appearing in the Starlight Lounge at Harrah's...Brenna...you know, that American Idol wanna-be.

Posted by: Timmer at February 28, 2006 08:49 PM

Ok, I take that back about her dress.

Posted by: Denise at February 28, 2006 08:49 PM

Gaaaaaaah. That just sucked.

Posted by: Ian S. at February 28, 2006 08:50 PM

See Katherine, you weren't the worst of the night. Good bye Brenna, Good bye Brenna, Good bye Brenna, we can't miss you till you're gone.

Posted by: chris at February 28, 2006 08:50 PM

I don't know why but Paris reminds me of Gary Coleman tonight.

Posted by: Timmer at February 28, 2006 08:57 PM

Paris' got favor! She wins!

Posted by: Denise at February 28, 2006 08:58 PM

What the heck? Yeesh. Wind Beneath My Wings. Will anyone do a decent job tonight? This is average at best. Not her best.

Posted by: chris at February 28, 2006 09:00 PM

Not a fan of this song, but Paris' "favor" definitely kicked in. I liked it.

Posted by: Ian S. at February 28, 2006 09:00 PM

Does Paris look loaded to anyone else?

Posted by: Timmer at February 28, 2006 09:02 PM

I was prepared to hate Ayla after the whole "I'm gonna grow up and date Sheryl Swopes" intro, but this is actually pretty good.

Posted by: Ian S. at February 28, 2006 09:09 PM

I hate Celine Dion songs, but Ayla's doing a pretty good job with this one.

Posted by: Denise at February 28, 2006 09:10 PM

Not bad performance, pretty good actually. She probably has the top performance tonight, but still no one has delivered a knock out song tonight.

Posted by: chris at February 28, 2006 09:11 PM

PICK PICKLER! Yay! Go Kellie!

Posted by: chris at February 28, 2006 09:13 PM

Competant but bland. Sorry Pickler.

Posted by: Ian S. at February 28, 2006 09:15 PM

Kelli singing Bonnie Raitt.

Okay, this song isn't supposed to be cute and coy, it's supposed to be "grab me by the collar and kiss me."

Posted by: Timmer at February 28, 2006 09:15 PM

Finally a knock out punch. Someone finally delivers. Best of the night so far. By far.

Posted by: chris at February 28, 2006 09:15 PM

With ya Michele. That's supposed to be a raucous song, and Pickler's about as wild and crazy as a glass of milk.

Posted by: Ian S. at February 28, 2006 09:17 PM

I need to load up Bonnie Rait on my pod when this is over and get that version out. of. my. head.

Posted by: Timmer at February 28, 2006 09:19 PM

Mandisa's bringing it!

Posted by: Ian S. at February 28, 2006 09:23 PM

Mandisa.

Oh man...I wanted to like this.

It's just everywhere. Flat. Sharp. What the hell?

Posted by: Timmer at February 28, 2006 09:24 PM

Bingo. *That* was the knockout punch. That's the song I'm mp3'ing, and that's who I'm voting for.

Posted by: Ian S. at February 28, 2006 09:25 PM

Hey I think we agree for once tonight! That was good. Real Good. Even Great. Pickler has been knocked out of my top spot.

Posted by: chris at February 28, 2006 09:25 PM

It might have been the best of the night, but we've heard better from her.

Posted by: Timmer at February 28, 2006 09:26 PM

True Timmer. That seems to be the theme of the night tonight. Only a couple matched or bettered last week's performance.

Posted by: chris at February 28, 2006 09:27 PM

Tim: Oh, totally, she *can* do better. And I can't wait to hear it.

Posted by: Ian S. at February 28, 2006 09:27 PM

Melissa McGhee, Heather Cox or Brenna will be leaving this week. Melissa and Heather are just forgettable. Brenna's just too much ego.

Posted by: Denise at February 28, 2006 09:30 PM

1. Mandissa
2. Pickler
3. Ayla


Going Home:
Brenna - We can hope
Melissa McGhee

See you all tomorrow everyone.
