Just like it was for the guys last week, the story on American Idol tonight was song selection. So many singers just chose the wrong songs, and it could really make the results show on Thursday interesting.

Some of the songs were good. Ok, really just two. I loved Kellie’s choice, and the judges were right – she is just so likeable. Her video about spinach salad, calamari, and dogs wearing clothes probably vaulted her to the top tonight. Melissa also made a great song choice that really showed off her voice. She should be safe this week.

There were others that sounded great tonight in spite of their song selection. I continue to love Katharine and Paris, even though the judges weren’t such fans tonight. The bottom line with them, as well as Lisa, is that they’re terrific singers. And once we start having “theme nights,” we’ll see their talents shine through. Ayla and Mandisa were good too.

Of course, for every great performance, there is usually one that isn’t so great. And there were a few bombs tonight. Kinnik was really hurt by her song choice – it just didn’t make her sound very good. And then there were the two that will probably be eliminated – Heather and Brenna. To be fair, Heather probably should have been eliminated last week. Her version of “Hero” was really rough – how she could choose a Mariah song is beyond me. When will these contestants learn that if you choose a song by a great vocalist, you can only pale in comparison. But if you choose a song by a decent singer, you can really rock out. Anyways, I think that Brenna will also be going home this week. It would be one thing if she could sing. But America is bound to be as sick as I am of that attitude with no singing to back it up.

So, it’s time to vote. And, as Ryan said at the beginning of the show, “please watch where your fingers end up.” Seriously. I rewound it three times. My vote tonight is for Katharine and Kellie…we’ll see if the guys can match up tomorrow.
