Top 24 Girls – American Idol

Stephanie Edwards — She has an amazing voice and seems much older than 19 years old. She’s classy and very talented.

Amy Krebs — I don’t really like the timbre of her voice, and I thought she was a bit pitchy. It was a bit boring for me and I really didn’t like the ending – kind of strange. I do have to agree with Simon that she’s a bit forgettable and doesn’t really shine. She’s a pretty girl and can sing but does not seem to have that “it” factor.

Leslie Hunt — Another pretty girl, but not really standing out. The song seemed kind of flat – and average. Doesn’t seem to have the star quality that should be in the finals.

Sabrina Sloan — Great song choice for her, really showcased her voice. I hope her personality will shine through so people will vote for her. She’s certainly got talent. Very nicely done.

Antonella Barba — It’s too bad she followed Sabrina because the contrast was pretty stark. It was pitchy and she lacked confidence. She’s a really pretty girl and I think she’ll stay another week because she’s likeable. But it wasn’t great for me.

Jordin Sparks — She’s adorable. I didn’t love the song choice for her. It was a little bit boring. I’d like to see something more spunky and playful to match her personality. I really like the quality of her voice and I still predict she’ll be in the top 10.

Nicole Tranquillo — I didn’t not like the song choice at all, it made her voice seem kind of nasal and the crinkling of her nose through most of the song was distracting. It was not good for me. (I agree with Randy and Simon on this one.) Plus, her personality doesn’t stand out as much as some of the others.

Haley Scarnato — She’s a cute girl. Her outfit didn’t really work for me though. I didn’t really like the song choice – not good. It was pitchy and didn’t connect with the audience.

Melinda Doolittle — She is darling. I think America is going to get behind her and cheer for her to overcome her fears and get the confidence she deserves. Huge voice and such a cute smile. She is an amazing singer. Absolutely top 10 and I think she’s going to win the title! She blows away the competition. She is a joy to watch and listen to. Even if she doesn’t win – she’s certainly going to get a recording contract.

Alaina Alexander — Her song tonight was not great. But anyone following the greatness of Melinda is going to be compared harshly. Not very good for me.

The comment from Simon about Ryan trying to date Alaina was interesting. They actually looked cute together. Hmmm. That could begin some fun speculations.

Gina Glocksen — She has a nice voice. I’m not sure why I don’t connect with her all that much, nothing I can put my finger on. But she did a good job.

LaKisha Jones — She’s so cute and has an incredible voice. I want her to break out of her shell a little bit and show her personality off stage like she performs. Loved the performance. She for sure going to be in the top 10 and probably top 5. That girl can sing! She always seems a little bit sad when she’s not singing – I hope that’s goes away and she starts feeling the joy even when she’s not singing.

My favorites from tonight — absolutely Melinda, Jordin, and LaKisha.

Predictions of who will go home — Leslie, Antonella, Haley, or Alaina
