American Idol: Top 10 Performance Grades

buddytv · 03-28-2007, 04:16 AM

The top 10 American Idol hopefuls sang songs under the tutelage of pop star Gwen Stefani last night, and the results were underwhelming (at least compared to last show). There were no great performances, insomuch as a typical Melinda Doolittle performance isn't considered great. In truth, all of her performances have been great, but we're used to that level from her and, therefore, they've begun to sound typical.

As we've been doing for the last month or so, I've given each singer a grade for their performance last night. This is not like the NBA Slam Dunk Contest; I'm not going to give a bunch of A's just because I can. I've yet to give an A-plus, though I'm hopeful it will happen at some point this season (I'm looking at you, Sanjaya). Check out the grades below.

Is anyone else sick of Melinda besides me?? Yes maybe she can sing a little better than the rest but she is the most fake and boring performer on the show. Every night she has that fake little surprised look on her face when she gets a good comment from the judges, please help me!! She has her own personal voice coach for goodness sake. What happen to amateur singers trying to get a break with the Amercian audience, now we have personal voice coaches and stylists. I'm pulling for anyone other than Melinda and of course that poor little weak thing...Sanjaya is it?? She is boring and unoriginal and would never make it as a pop star anyone so vote her off so she can go perform on a cruise ship or something.

I convinced Sanjaya has been kept on by the "Vote for the Worst" crew.Now you can even vote for him through your cell even if you can't (or don't want to) watch the show. Vote For The Worst

You posters have it right, Blake is coming on really strong. He's intelligent and creative and has a contemporary look and vibe and you never know where he's going with a performance. I'd like to see a Haley-Blake showdown for all the marbles. Two all-American kids you can really like. Haley needs to step up vocally a bit, but she's sexed up her image and has loads of star quality on stage which the other females don't. Melinda, yeah, it's getting old . . . and did you see Simon cringe at her fake humble routine? He's ready to call her on it. That was Sanjaya coming out and giving the big middle-finger to all his detractors, from Howard Stern to votefortheworst.com to bloggers. The kid might have an adolescent vengeful streak, and want to bring the whole show down for what people have done to him. Look for Sanjaya to come out in a diaper next week, if he can slip it by the stage crew.
