American Idol February 28th  “The Top 10 Girls Sing”  3/1/06

By Marcus

Ten hopeful women singers remain. Here is my recap.

            When high waistline bloused Katherine walked onto the stage, I thought she was pregnant! Very pregnant. But not even her delicate cascading long dark hair could protect her from a timid and almost forced sounding performance.

            Big Sky Kinnik saddled her horse and galloped into her performance. She is a most confident cowgirl and in this fight for American Idol, she will certainly be a tough gunslinger. The others are going to place a price on her head.

            Little Lisa reminds me of a sparking opal that is full of light and fire. This amazing sixteen year old has what it takes to not only win this competition, but to be a star.

            Florida beach baby Melissa swizzles like a cold steak slapped on a red hot grill. Her voice and sultry looks will take her far in the contest. Does anyone, beside me, think she has Elvis’s eyes?        

Snake charmer Heather’s voice was like a soggy discarded tissue. Lacking any stage presence, she just stood there. Maybe she thought that her blue eyes, blond hair, and cute figure would wow us. It didn’t and she doesn’t.

            With hand on her thrust hip, Brenna the great ego lost her edge tonight. What happened to her cocky attitude? Maybe she has been posing for too many photos instead of practicing. Brenna, I think you may be soon packing.

            Petite Paris started flat, worked a recovery, but ended empty. Her singing was boring as toasted white bread. She can do so much better. Maybe she has been hanging out with Brenna?

            Ayla the amateur athlete is now playing in the pros. Her voice was right on, her stage command was right on, and she is finding her dreams while entertaining us.

            Natural country gal Kelly snaps my fingers, claps my hands, and makes me feel good. She has such incredible natural talent. She continues to make her grandpa proud. Keep on singing, Kelly. You are what makes American Idol such a success.

            The comfortable full range professional voice of Mandisa does not disappoint. I am amazed that she is not already on some recording label.

            We are down to ten women and two will “hit the road” in less than 48 hours.
