Elliot Yamin

I was sooo disappointed with tonight's performances! :(

Here's a quick recap of the highlights and lowlights of "Songs of the 21st Century" night:

MY FAVORITES

Mandisa...aka Mandiva
She was GREAT! I loved her song choice (Shackles by Mary Mary) and her performance was spectacular. But the judges didn't quite agree... they called it indulgent and Paula (by the way, she was drunk again) could only say something about "a new religion" and the "Church of Mandisa".... Yeah, THAT'S why she chose to perform that song... *sigh* Hollywood.

Did anybody else watch American Idol? To be honest, I was a little bored by the girls performances on Tuesday. Even my favorites, Katharine McPhee and Paris Bennett, didn't wow me. I thought Ayla Brown and Mandisa were good though.

Then on Wednesday, when it was the boys turn, I found myself bored again. The only performances I truly enjoyed were Elliot Yamin's and Chris Daughtry's. Something about Elliot just makes me like him, and then to top it off, that boy can sing! I don't need to say much about Chris, it's obvious he's a star! I cringed a little when Ace Young attempted Daniel Beddingfield's "If you're not the one" especially when he hit that high note. I thought the song was not his style at all. It was still fun watching him though.
