American Idol, Ep. 12.9 & 12.10

Hollywood Week 2: Girls

Judging by what we've seen in the audition rounds, it seems like this is the year of the girls. It's been 5 years since a girl has won, and with the number of girls they featured during auditions they seemed to really overpower the number of guys.

Night 1: Solos/ Groups

Major drama, and way too many bad singers made it through...argh!

Kez Ban is just a disaster. She's way too quirky, opinionated, and unwilling to work with others. She had one song she wanted to do and she was going to be so upset if they didn't pick her song. She had an opinion about everything...that poor group.

After Night 1, there were 47 girls left.

Night 2: Solos

Right out of the gate, Angela Miller...oh my goodness was she good! And she sang an original song which was really good. Her performance was so good and noteworthy, that I'm including a clip of her performance here. For those of you who don't remember, she's the girl who has hearing loss.

Candice Glove was also really good.

And then there's Zoanette...words can't even describe her. She decides to play the drums because she heard a beat in her head and they just winged it. I can't stand her attitude, her personality, or anything about her. And I don't even know what she was wearing. I don't know what you can call her "performance". She's just haphazardly banging on the drums, and squealing and then yells to the band to slow it down, an d then she drops one of her sticks. And the worst part? The judges went crazy for it! Ridiculous. The fact that she is still there is just a testament to the poor taste of Nicki Minaj.

And then there's Kez Ban. It says a lot that she is friends with Zoanette. Thank goodness, the judges did not put her through this time! She's so weird in fact, that she didn't want to leave and asked them to give her a job. She thought she could like get Ryan's water for him or hold a microphone or something. They humored her for awhile, but I can't believe that they would be able to stand having her around any more.

Melinda Ademi was really good singing "Price Tag" by Jessie J.

There seems to be a real country presence this season, especially with the girls. It seems like EVERY girl sings country.

A couple girls are asked to sing again, and they finally picked the top 20 girls.

The guys are called back out. There were 28 left, so 8  more cuts needed to be made.

A few guys performed again...the hilight was Josh Holiday totally splitting his pants! Whoa!

Notable final exits: Adam Sanders, Marvin Calderon, David Leathers, Jr.

Gotta say, I'm pretty happy with a lot of the guys who made it through!!! Lazaro, Johnny Keyser, the Turbinator, and Paul Jolley!
