My opinion on Sunday night's version of American Idol..
- Clearly the most unique performance was by Maddie Poppie with Melaine's "Brand New Key". I must be old, because even Luke never heard of the song. I remember it form the 70s. Kudos to Maddie for singing it well and having the guts and inventiveness to do it.
- The judges were a bit more critical last night, but still too nice. Simon would law down the law. Lionel gives wise advice but name-drops too much and talks about the past like an old geezer. Katy isn't as charming anymore. She seems to be forcing things. I guess she needs to say something to earn her $25 million Idol fee.Luke is just there. Better team would've been Lionel- Katy- Simon. Imagine the fireworks between outspoken Katy and Simon?
- The heart-throb will get cut. The last guy who doesn't smile with braces..hard to figure out. The flipping- her--hair 15-year-old is annoying but I'm thinking she makes it. Many are just too slick or can't sing. No one wowed me again. That's why it was stupid to cut five last week before the judges heard to final 12. What if everyone this week sucked and one who got cut last week is better?
- The drag queen may have passion and a good voice but...How can anyone take him/her seriously/ It's a joke, especially when the he/she said this was his/her 12th try=out for Idol. Obsessed or what? The drag queen thing is a gimmick, an attention-grabber ( it's worked), because the voice wasn't good enough before. Why didn't he/she make it sooner? Too confusing- a female to perform..a male for final Judgement..a female again last night. The judges love him/her and will send it thru/ Up to American to kick it out.
- Only one true country singer left, Caleb, the Scotty McCreery sound-alike. I'm now thinking he won't win, but I think he goes thru to the Final 14, as the competition need a country singer.
- Got a feeling this mentor Bobby Bones will be around for more than tonight. ABC apparently likes him.The next Ryan Seacrest?
- I've never heard most of these so-called duets stars tonight. The show is playing to millennials. Then we finally get the Final 14. next week starts the real competition. Live shows Theme shows. America votes.
