In his latest Idol Meter update, Ken Barnes looks at what a win for each of American Idol's three remaining contestants would do for the show's legacy.
"As a combination of distinct personality and unusual talent, the only past Idols to rival Crystal [Bowersox] are Kelly Clarkson and Taylor Hicks, and Crystal's abilities are way over on the Clarkson side of the dial," Ken writes. "The victory of a guitar-strumming street singer would be a welcome sign of the show's diversity and maturity."
On the other hand, Ken thinks Casey James would "battle it out" with Taylor as the least-gifted singer to win the show, though Casey's instrumental abilities would give Idol a feather in its cap. As for Lee DeWyze? "Lee would automatically become the least-qualified — and potentially most credibility-damaging — winner."
Lee nih ok gak, but he's like a carboncopy of Kris Allen, and Kris Allen, so far doesn't sell well. Itu ler kot the 'damaging' part of the above article kot.
Casey James – “OK It’s Alright With Me” by Eric Hutchinson – Casey’s strapped on an acoustic guitar this week. Wow. this song is so vanilla! A really Bad song choice. He sang it fine, but it’s a boring song–there’s nowhere to take it. The judges are gonna kill him. Randy says, “That lyric…I wanted to hear more from you, this is down to the wire. Can’t do a safe song” Ellen says, “This is the moment, live or die, I felt the same way as Randy” Ellen attempts at a joke as she slams Casey fall flat “This is really the night you need to bring something much bigger,” she says, Kara says, “It’s hard to pick a song not everyone knows. You can’t take it to the next level.” Simon says, “The problem is, it’s the most important night of your life. If that was a dinner, it would be the salad.” Simon says it’s not substantive–nobody will remember it. You sounded good, he says, but the song is a dud.
Crystal Bowersox – “Come To My Window” by Melissa Ethridge – Crystal tells Ryan in a little sit down that the song is about “Passion.” Crystal’s got a harmonica around her neck. Hm. Her vocals sound strained. Not sure why she bothered with the harmonica. She didn’t play it much. She sounded a little shaky on the high notes. Crystal has performed better. Hope she brings it in the second half. Randy says, “I did not love the arrangement, what I did like, I loved your vocal on it. It all worked in the end. Good song choice” Ellen says, “I agree, it’s the artist you want to be. Melissa would be very proud of you.” Kara says, “I do think that you did get a little lost in the arrangement, it’s still a good vocal, you’re capable of a moment, I hope you have one tonight.” Simon says, “I don’t think this was the most stunning version of that song, but what I like, you haven’t compromised as an artist. You came out and decided to do what you do. It’s a very honest performance. I think you made the right choice. Congratulations” Crystal says it’s one of her favorite songs. Wow. The judges skated right around the vocal issues. –
Lee DeWyze – “Simple Man ” by Lynyrd Skynyrd – Lee tells Ryan that he picks songs that he can relate to. Lee begins acoustic, and the band kicks in after the first verse. So far, Lee’s the best tonight. Yeah, there are a couple of pitch problems here and there, but he sings with a lot of passion–he’s in the zone–and sounds really current on a classic. The judges are going to go apeshit. The crowd is eating it up. Randy says, “I could see you making a record, brilliant song choice. Somebody here is feeling like they could win this.” Ellen says, “That’s what we’re talking about. I’m so proud of you. You were like a baby lamb, now your like a gazelle or an impala..Oh god…yeah. Kara says, “You showed us everything you’ve got. In my opinion, round 1 goes to Lee.” Lee says when he plays the song, he’s really happy playing it. Simon says, “If I’m being honest with you…that song was absolutely on the money. I don’t think you won round one, I think you just crushed the other two.” Yep. They loved it
Casey James – Kara and Randy choose “Daughter” by John Mayer – The clip of Casey receiving his text rolls. Randy thinks John Mayer is a great direction for Casey. Kara says Casey has to show that vulnerable side. His audience is women and girls, and Casey has to give them what they want. LOL. Casey can’t have male fans? That’s such bullshit. This is way better than the first song. Waaayyy better. Casey is always really good on these quiet, slower songs. Very nice. Nothing karaoke about this. Now a little guitar solo. Randy didn’t like the arrangement at first, but says, “This actually fits you like a glove. I hope you go in that direction.” Ellen says, “I thought that was beautiful.” Kara says, “This showed the more artistic side of you. That’s really where you shine. This was the choice we should have made for you. You changed it up where it needed to be, but didn’t stray.” Simon says, “I think it was much better song choice than the first, but it was a lazy arrangement.” Simon thought the guitar solo was limp, and calls out Kara and Randy for not working on the vocal with him. Simon thinks there should have been a vocal climax. Kara says that’s it’s written to be gentle and vulnerable. A bit of an argument ensues. I’m with Kara and Randy. It was fine the way it was. Sweet guitar solo, too.
Crystal Bowersox – Ellen Degeneres chose “Maybe I’m Amazed” by Paul McCartney – Crystal reads her text. “She picked a good one,” says Crystal. Ellen chose the song because she think she could surprise people with the song. Crystal is sitting on the spiral staircase. No guitar. Wow she did not change the gender. Interesting. I wonder if that’s going to make it weird for viewers. Hm. Erm. She keep repeating that she’s “a man” Not crazy about the way this song was edited. She makes her way to the catwalk behind the judges. She’s repeating the same line over and over again, and she’s pushing her upper register. I was expecting more, frankly. And you all know I love me some Crystal. Randy says, “Great song, great vocals, and we’ve got somebody in it to win it.” Ellen says, “I couldn’t have asked for more. You did it.” Kara says, “You really showed parts of your voice that we haven’t heard yet. You did a lot of risky things, and it paid off.” Simon says, “At first, I wondered about the song choice. Now I get it. What you proved is that you’ve got soul. I think you’ll be thanking Ellen when she puts you in the finals next week.” Wow. That’s some overpraise, there.
