Dear Paula~
I respect you, I really do.
Back in the 80's you were one of my American Idols. You had a good voice and some awesome moves. One of my favorite dances ever with my dance team was to "Straight Up". I also loved the "Opposites Attract" video of you dancing with that cat.
I know time has gone by, you've gotten older, life has come at you and you're not a "spring chicken" anymore. Some might even say you're past your prime.
I know your lucid moments are few and far between. I really appreciate it when you try and save those precious moments of lucidity for Tuesday and Wednesday nights. I know you aren't always successful, but the effort isn't lost on me.
However, please...when your inner voice tells you to don a chain mail halter top and finger-less gloves...tell it to SHUT UP!
Sincerely~
Marianne
*A side note...

A Different Take
Alright after reading everybody's post I am going to have to take an opposite standpoint.
We will start with Ramiele. She has a better voice than me, but I would not buy a ticket to her show. She doesn't know how to entertain.
Syesha and Chikeze have a great voice but I'm not a fan of their performances. Can you picture them singing to a stadium of people?
Brooke all I can say is wow. I love the songs she sings and think that she is so talented. I love that she changes the sound of a popular song to her own personal style.
Michael's song was okay. I think he kind of gets lost in the talent of American Idol.
I think Carly rocks! That song is a favorite from high school! We would rock to that in the car,(of course the car only played 8 tracks and that was the only one that worked :) I think that she is a great performer and love every song she sings.
David A is where I have to disagree with everyone. I thought that was a fun song. No I haven't heard it before but it had a great beat. I could sing along with it on the radio.
Kristy needs Nashville Star, I think that is really her niche.
Then we save the best for last. David Cook is great. He and Brooke are the best, I love how they change it up. It took me a minute to realize he was singing Michael Jackson because it was so different. I LOVED IT! Can we say let's just put him through to the final.
Alright so there are my ramblings for last night. Did anyone catch a look at Randy's bracelets? I think that he made them here at Beadles. (a bead jewelery making store in Logan) Right Marianne?

Jenny's Thoughts on Top 10
As a whole, I think this week was better than the past two weeks. I think the singers felt more comfortable and familiar with these songs. Here's my recap of the night!
Ramiele: There were a few moments where I heard a strong voice, but I think it was a weak performance overall. I am sick of the judges saying, "Not your best performance, but you've got a great voice in there somewhere." How long should we wait for this "great" entertainer to shine? It's been several weeks now and I am yet to be blown away. I think it's time for her to leave. She is so out of her league.
Jason: I didn't really enjoy this performance this week. Just kind of . . . blah. He might be in a little trouble this week.
Syesha: I think she was great! I loved the song choice and she finally did her hair how I like it! She definitely did enough to keep her out of the bottom three.
Chikezie: I actually disagree with the judges on his performance. I was genuinely impressed and I thought he did a great job. Old fashion or not, I thought his vocals were awesome. And I'm glad he showed us a softer side. We don't need another Taylor Hicks who jumps around on the stage week after week and rarely shows a softer side. I thought Chikezie made a smart decision.
Brooke: Nice recovery! I guess that's the best part about playing the piano - you can start over when you need to. I thought she did good, but I (along with the judges) didn't like when the band came in. I would have preferred to hear her bring up the tempo on the piano and jam out a little more. Overall, it was much better than last week. She's still brilliant.
Michael: One of his best performances. He looked comfortable - I loved it!
Carly: One word: desperate. I didn't like this performance. She didn't look comfortable and the song didn't suite her. I felt like it was a desperate attempt to be "cool" and rock it out on stage to try and keep herself out of the bottom three. Unfortunately, I don't know how successful she will be.
David A: What was the deal with that song?! He's a great singer, there's no doubt about that, but I've never heard that song before and it was uber-cheesy. He'll be safe though, but he needs to step it up if he wants to stay the front-runner!
Kristy: Wise choice of song. How can you possibly be voted off when you sing that song?! I thought that this was her best performance so far. She sounded pretty good and I think she will be safe this week. She might be in the bottom three, but I don't think she'll be the one to go. But what do I know???
David Cook: WOW! AWESOME! INCREDIBLE! LOVED IT! WHERE AND WHEN CAN I BUY THE SINGLE?!?!?!?!?!?
Predictions:
Bottom Three: Based on this week's performances, I think it should be Ramiele, Jason, and Carly. Ramiele seems to have a huge fan base though. I think Chikezie and Kristy might find themselves in the bottom three, but I personally think they did well this week.
