People having problems all over the place. Well, if we didn't have problems, wouldn't our lives be boring? Hahaha... Ok so anyway, the highlight tonight is American Idol.
American Idol - Channel 5 telecast, Thurs 24 April.
Carly Smithson and Syesha Marcado in the bottom 2. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I'd see Carly there. What on Earth were you thinking America? As hard as it is to believe, she's there. Ok so here's what I thought of their performances.
Syesha - What a way to start off the show. Very 'broadway'. And lots of people liked it. I'm sure. She showed a whole new side of her which neither the judges nor the audience has seen before. She worked the stage like a pro, and she was definitely comfortable, like she was in her own element.
Carly - Business as usual for her. However there was something lacking from her performance. She failed to show enough character and she lacked that little 'something' which gives the audience something new to look forward to every week. Carly is vocally very strong, and the audience expects this every week, so now she needs to show a connection with the song and the audience.
Oh well...
Considering Syesha was the one who was in the bottom few the most often, it comes as a shock to most of us that Carly leaves the show. She's a great singer. And honestly, I just don't get it.
