I thought he was totally off on speed timing and everything else. Simon agreed. Gina Glockson came out in her Catholic boots very off. The judges thought the song was great, Simon thought it was her best performances. I thought it sucked.
What do you thing?
 

Sanjaya Malakar had a Woody Woodpecker hairstyle that did [...]

Opening with a Donna Summer song, “Let’s Dance” Lakisha Jones has chosen the perfect song for her great big voice. An amazing performance by Lakisha Jones on American Idol.

Brandon Rogers mailed in his performance and it was lost in the mail. Then Melinda Doolittle  brought the whole act together. Simon thought Melinda Doolittle made a boring song exciting and reminds him of Glady Knight.
 

 
We thought the top twelve had made it to this part of the show but Brandon reverted to not [...]
