What a depressing week this has been. An earthquake, a tsunami, a massive loss of lives and the threat of a nuclear disaster in Japan.
But the show must go on.
This week American Idol ( season 10. Episode 18) began the show on a very sombre note
The three judges together with Ryan extended their sympathy to Japan and its people. They announced that the proceeds from the sale of this weeks songs available on i-tunes would go towards helping Japan.
The show which was aired on March 16, 2011 featured America's top twelve singers singing songs from their birth year
The show opened with Naima Adedepo (1984) singing Whats Love Got To Do With It by Tina Turner. Naima was looking her usual exotic self but she did not manage to wow the judges who thought her voice was a bit pitchy.
Next cane Paul McDonald (1984) singing an Elton John number I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues. Paul bad been down with the flu and had a sore throat which made his voice was raspier than ever.However he managed to please the judges. Steven Tyler enigmatically called him a "cool dude with a loose mood". I am not quite sure what that means.
Thia Megia (1995) , the youngest contestant of the show, looking her usual simple. pretty self sang a ballad Colours of the Wind which had originally been sung by Vanessa Williams in the Disney classic Pocahontas. The performance was sweet and I enjoyed it but the judges urged her to avoid being safe and to go for songs which showcased her voice.
Rocker James Durbin (1989) sang I'll be there for You by Bon Jovi. It was a good performance and Steven Tyler promised to join James on the stage if he had it to the finale.
Haley Reinhert (1990) failed to impress with a Whitney Houston number I'm Your Baby Tonight. Hailey had an embarrassing moment as a gallant Ryan tried to blot out the bright red lipstick which had smudged over her face.
The judges just loved wild card contestant Stefano Langone (1989) who sang If You Don't Know Me Now by Simply Red. Randy called it the best performance of the night. It was my favourite performance. I feel that this extremely likable singer has the talent to make it all the way to the top.
Pia Toscano (1988) gave another great performance singing Where Do Broken Hearts Go by Whitney Houston. Randy said that Pia was in it to win it and Steven said that she was the reason why the show was called American Idol.
Country singer Scotty Mc Creery (1993) famous for his deep voice wowed the judges who were impressed by his growth in the competition.. He sang Travis Trip's Can I Trust You With My Heart.
Looking stunning in black leather boots and a black mini dress Karen Rodriguez (1989 ) gave a rather lack lustre performance for the second night in a row.The judges said that her performance of Love Will Lead You Back by Taylor Dayne was better than her last performance but still not good enough.
The judges loved Casey Abrams (1991) singing Smells Like Teen Spirit This was the first ever Nirvana song to be performed on Idol and the judges applauded him for not being afraid to take risks.
Lauren Alaina (1994) was another idol who was down with the flu. But the judges loved her rendition of I'm The Only One by Melissa Etheridge. They said that her sickness had actually improved the quality of her voice.
The final performance of the night was by gospel singer Jacob Lusk (1987) who pleased the judges with his muted performance of Alone By Heart.
There were so many good performances that the judges said that this was developing into a hot competition.
I feel that. on the whole, the boys gave more solid performances than the girls.
This was proved the next night in the Result Show..
Three girls Naima, Haley and Karen were in the bottom three . Naima was saved first , followed by Haley.
A disappointed Karen had to sing for her life but failed to impress the judges. She was voted out of the show.
