Motown! I LOVE Motown week on Idol, these are all great pop songs and some of my favourite Idol performances have been during Motown week. Like Kimberly Caldwell's 'Nowhere to Run', Kris Allen's 'How Sweet it is to be Loved By You', and Kelly Clarkson's 'You're All I Need to Get By'.
First up, Casey. I'm starting to like him a lot more, although I think he needs to growl a little less. 'Heard it Through the Grapevine' is an amazing song, so good song choice. I really want him to get rid of the ginge beard though, I hope he lets the Idol stylists give them a makeover.
Next is Thea who bravely sings 'Heatwave' which Kimberley Locke sang in season 2 and Jennifer Hudson sang in season 3. I think Thea really needs to show her personailty. Or maybe she doesn't have a personality, I'm still trying to figure it out.
Jacob's up third singing one of my fave Motown songs 'You're All I Need To Get By' and sounded pretty good. I still can't see myself buying his album though.
Lauren sounded amazing singing 'You Keep Me Hanging On' and she seemed a little less annoying than usual. Hmmm, maybe she would make a good Idol winner?
Okay, is it just me or do all the girls have hair extensions now?
I was starting to like Stefano until it was announced that he had chosen to sing Lionel Richie's 'Hello'. Which a. How is that Motown? When I think of Motown I think of the era, Alone was in the 80s and b. IT'S A DAVID COOK CLASSIC!! So the outcome? As I couldn't help compare it to D Cook, it was very disappointing. It didn't sound terrible, but there was nothing special about it.
Oh Haley. You sound pretty good but there's something about you that's not right. I think it's that you have no personality. And as you've been in the bottom three for the past two weeks I think America senses this too.
I am starting to like Scotty more each week. He gave Steve Wonder's 'For Once In My Life' its own spin and it sounded like an instant country hit. I can totally see him having a hit country album and opening for Carrie or Kellie Piockler.
I would say that Pia's 'All in Love is Fair' was almost an Idol moment. She sounds amazing and I think she's my favourite at the moment, she reminds me of Katharine McPhee who I love. But I want her to be a Kelly Clarkson and to sing something fun and not sing a ballad every week!
Paul sang 'Tracks of my Tears' and sounded good, but I don't think it was an 'Idol moment' like Idol mentor Jimmy Iovine has envisaged. He has yet to wow me.
Naima. She drives me crazy with her pitchiness and attitude. But she didn't sound terrible on 'Dancing in the Streets'. Her dancing kind of freaked me out. I did love the cross to Nigel Lythgoe though!
Yay! James gets the pimp spot! He's my Dad's favourite and I think he has a good voice and makes 'Living for the City' sound like an original rock song. Love it! Ryan looks like a midget next to James. He can stand by me whenever he wants!
Who I'm voting for - Scotty, Pia, Lauren, James
Who I want to go - Naima
Who I think will go - Stefano or Haley
