American Idol – Top 10 Guys Step It Up
February 28, 2007 by cd
The top 10 guys stepped up their game this week to keep up with the girls’ outstanding output last week. My favorite performances were delivered by the 2 Chrises, 1 Blake and 1 AJ. I really like AJ’s performance and his song choices but he’s a little underrated by the judges. They know he’s good but they’re hesistant to give the absolute praise that he deserves. I agree with what Michael Slezak said on EW.com:
In fact, the only singers tonight who looked like serious contenders to me were my three favorites from last week: A.J. Tabaldo, Chris Sligh, and Blake Lewis. Now, in the back of my brain, there’s a nagging little voice (which sounds suspiciously like Simon’s) telling me A.J. might not make the final 12, but I think that would be a real injustice. His exuberant, jazzy spin on Nina Simone’s ”Feeling Good” made him the evening’s only convincing crooner, but for some reason, the judges seemed hesitant to show him any love; it’s almost as if Paula, Simon, and Randy decided back in Hollywood week that they were putting A.J. into the top 24 as mere cannon fodder and they can’t quite accept the fact he’s a legitimate contender.
After watching the top 10 guys perform for the second time on video, here’s my take:
SIZZLING HOT
