AMERICAN IDOL “Third 12 of 36 Compete” (Top 36 – Group 3) Review March 4, 2009 American Idol, Reviews Finally, the third group of 12 performed on AMERICAN IDOL Season 8. Once again a pretty disappointing night, no one really shined for me. My favorite of the night was Jorge Nuñez. I honestly have no idea which three will go ahead tonight. Let’s find out how the contestants did: Von Smith Song: “You’re All I Need to Get By” by Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell Thoughts: I thought he did pretty good. It was an enjoyable performance. Judge I agree with the most: Simon Rating: 3/4 Video: Taylor Vaifanua Song: “If I Ain’t Got You” by Alicia Keyes Thoughts: I was really bored during the performance. And I have to agree with the judges, she really didn’t put any personality into it. Judge I agree with the most: Kara/Simon Rating: 2/4 Video: Alex Wagner Song: “I Guess That’s Why They Call It the Blues” by Elton John Thoughts: I half liked it and half didn’t. It was a little awkward in parts. Judge I agree with the most: Paula Rating: 2.5/4 Video: Arianna Afsar Song: “he Winner Takes It All” by ABBA Thoughts: I don’t remember her from Hollywood week, but I actually really liked her (I cannot believe I disagree with Simon on this). Judge I agree with the most: Paula Rating: 3/4 Video: Ju’Not Joyner Song: “Hey There Delilah” by Plain White T’s Thoughts: It was pretty good. I do agree with the judges that he was holding back a little, I wish he had let go a little more. Judge I agree with the most: Simon Rating: 3/4 Video: Kristen McNamara Song: “Give Me One Reason” by Tracy Chapman Thoughts: Wow, that girl can sing. I really didn’t think she would be that good, but I liked her a lot. Judge I agree with the most: Kara Rating: 4/4 Video: Nathaniel Marshall Song: “I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That)” by Meat Loaf Thoughts: First of all I love this song, but I don’t think he got what the meaning of it really was. There was absolutely no emotion, I just didn’t get it. Judge I agree with the most: Simon Rating: 2/4 Video: Felicia Barton Song: “No One” by Alicia Keys Thoughts: It started out good, but there was some pitchy moments in there. Overall, she was pretty good, especially for someone that was initially sent home. Judge I agree with the most: Simon Rating: 3/4 Video: Scott MacIntyre Song: “Mandolin Rain” by Bruce Hornsby and the Range Thoughts: I just didn’t think he was that good. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t that great. Judge I agree with the most: None Rating: 2/4 Video: Kendall Beard Song: “This One’s for the Girls” by Martina McBride Thoughts: It was ok, I enjoyed it. That’s about it. Judge I agree with the most: Randy Rating: 3/4 Video: Jorge Nuñez Song: “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me” by Elton John Thoughts: Wow, that was awesome. He has a really great voice. My favorite of the night. Judge I agree with the most: Randy Rating: 4/4 Video: Lil Rounds Song: “Be Without You” by Mary J. Blige Thoughts: Well, I don’t like that song, so that’s a problem. It was just ok for me. I have to disagree with the judges on that one. Plus I actually find her a little boring (been there done that). Judge I agree with the most: None Rating: 3/4 Video: Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window)Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)
