TV: AI5 Ballad Night

Best performance of the night: Chris. He did a GREAT job with that Bryan Adams song.
2nd Best performance of the night: Elliott. Sure, the song was a little bit boring but he did a really nice job.
3rd Best performance of the night: Taylor. I don’t know what the judges are saying – he was dynamic and wonderful last night. Sure he looks a bit awkward onstage when he just stands there waving his arms, but his voice is wonderful.
3rd Worst performance of the night: Katherine. Hasn’t she learned by now to NEVER sing a diva song? I guess not. It was passable, but not great.
2nd Worst performance of the night: Paris. Another diva song, albeit from the 1970s. However, I just don’t like the affectations that Paris puts in her songs (i.e., putting the “H” sound at the beginning of words that start with “W”).
Worst performance of the night: Pickler. Oh Pickler. What happened, dearie? You just don’t look like you are having fun anymore? Since Queen night, when you obviously had a blast, you’ve been stumbling and nervous and scared – that’s not what our American Idol should be EVER. I think the pressure has gotten to her, which means it’s time for Pickler to go home, take a breather, and come back for the Idol Tour this summer.
