3/28/2010 Top 10

Hello,

Last week was Billboard #1's as a theme. Miley Cyrus was the mentor. We lost Paige Miles from the show. She was much better the previous week with her "Honky Tonk Woman" than this past week. Her previous week take on Phil Collins "Against All Odds" was very prophetic. As it was against all odds that she'd continue on. Next week is R&B/Soul week with Theater Usher as the mentor. I'm breaking this down in three levels.

Level 1: I'm sorry I didn't realize you were still in the competition.

10) Tim Urban (last week: 10) sang Queen's "Crazy Little Thing Called Love". He keeps on moving up my rankings just by surviving. It definitely has nothing to do with his singing voice.

9) Andrew Garcia (last week: 8) sang Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through The Grapevine". A great song that he didn't do so well with. It's about time for him to go home.

8) Katie Stevens (last week: 10) sang Fergie's "Big Girls Don't Cry". She moved up a couple of notches because she's less weak than Garcia or Urban.

7) Michael Lynche (last week: 9) sang Percy Sledge's "When A Man Loves A Woman". He didn't sing it like a man that loves a woman with passion.

The middle level:

6) Aaron Kelly (last week: 6) sang Aerosmith's "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing". That's a good song to woo a woman, but it's sort of a wimpy song. Kelly is sort of a wimpy person. Although I do like him more than I thought I would.

5) Lee Dewyze (last week: 7) sang The Box Tops "The Letter". He's starting to show a little personality but he's got to show more.

The people with the best chance of winning.

4) Casey James (last week: 2) sang a rather bland version of Huey Lewis and the News "The Power of Love". That was one of his weaker performances so far.

3) Sioban Magnus (last week: 3) sang Stevie Wonder's "Superstition". I was hoping for a little more than that performance.

2) Didi Benami (last week: 4) sang Linda Ronstadt's "You're No Good". I thought it was her second very good performance in two weeks. The preceding week she sang a sultry version of the Rolling Stones "Play With Fire".

1) Crystal Bowersox (last week: 1) sang Janis Joplin's "Me and Bobby McGee". Some people think she sang it better than Joplin did. She says she's planning big things for this week. It's about time for her to have another breakout performance like her Hollywood take on Aretha's "Natural Woman".
