(view her performance on AmericanIdol.Com)

Hey, it’s American Idol live shows again! Okay, I tuned in to the Top 12 Girls performance night this time, and man – those were some pretty painful-to-listen-to performances (Exhibit A – Haley Johnson who mangled “Sweet Dreams” by the Eurythmics)! And can we please ban Adele songs (which singers not named Adele can’t do justice to anyway). Judges are completely useless, with Randy pretty much the only one offering criticism (albeit in his usual incoherent fashion).

I thought the semifinalist who was most comfortable on stage (and sounded the best – even with a sore throat) was Jessica Sanchez (who performed “Love You I Do” from the musical Dreamgirls). I just wish her vibrato wasn’t so pronounced… and I hope she learns to conserve her voice if she survives for the long haul. Second best for me was Shannon Magrane who sang “There is a Candle” by Kathy Troccoli. I doubt if anyone is really familiar with the song, so hopefully, that doesn’t hurt her.

For me, these two sixteen-year-olds were the most memorable for the night. How about you, who did you like?
