The Sonia Show

Yeah, so, it's the ladies turn to go back to the '80s on “American Idol.”

Let's break it down ...

Asia'h is rockin' an outfit that could be right out of the '80s and I mean that in a bad way, and when I say “bad” I don't mean bad as in good, I mean bad as in terrible. Her “I Want to Dance With Somebody” was unimpressive. Big tools Randy and Paula loved it. Simon didn't. I thought it was totally karaoke and getting up on the stage and saying that she will settle for being a second-rate Whitney Houston didn't do her any favors.

Kady the Britney impersonator decides to impersonate Freddy Mercury this week with “Who Wants to Live Forever.” First, she tells a story about her embarrassing moment in at a high school talent show. I'm pretty sure her performances the last two weeks was more embarrassing. So anyway, she hits many, many, many wrong notes, but as Paula said Tuesday night when Little David hit wrong notes, it shows us she's human and that's good, right? Big tools Randy and Paula give her praise. Simon says it's better than last week, but really, that's not saying much. Let's assume she is going home this week.

Amanda the rocker nurse redeems herself from her heinous performance last week with Joan Jett's “I Hate Myself for Loving You.” I love her voice. She doesn't sound like anyone on “American Idol” and I am so thankful for that. Yay! Someone who doesn't want to be a second-rate Whitney!



Irish Stereotype Carly put on some ugly sailor-like pants with extraneous buttons to belt out “I Drove All Night.” I agree with Simon, I didn't like the song. She sang it well, but it's totally boring and I've already forgotten about the song ... wait, what was I typing about?

“OMG I'm, like, totally racist” Kristy kisses up to Randy by performing Journey's “Faithfully” and countryin' it up. I didn't like it. I don't like her. She started out OK and then ended it by yelling off-key. Big surprise, big tools Randy and Paula like it. Simon calls her forgettable and that at best she will come in 10th and she says, “that's great. I'll take it.” Yeah, that's the spirit. “I'm #10! I'm #10!” If you are in this competition and you are OK with being a second-rate Whitney or coming in 10th, then you shouldn't be on this show.

Little girl, big voice Ramiele takes on Phil Collins' “Against All Odds” and, yawn ... She can sing, but this song is so frakin' dull. She gets the “you have a beautiful face” from Paula. D'oh.

Blond nanny Brooke sings an acoustic “Love is a Battlefield” and it's my favorite performance this season. No joke. I love her. I was indifferent to her, but now she is my favorite on the show. I look forward to her every week. I would buy her CD. Randy says she's didn't bring anything new to it. Hello? She sang an acoustic “Love is a Battlefield.” It didn't sound anything like the Pat Benatar original. Randy has been sipping out of Paula's Coke cup. I'm going to download that song. Finally! Someone impressed me! I loved it so much I voted for her. Damn, even Chris liked it.

“Actress”-singer Syesha wants to be a second-rate Whitney, too. She takes on “Saving All My Love For You” and it's OK, but it doesn't blow me out the water. The judges all say, good, good, good.

So, who's the best? Brooke! Amanda! And Carly was pretty good, too.

And, who's going home? Kady for sure. The second person, I'm not so sure. Could be Ramiele. That song is so forgettable or Asia'h, who went first and most viewers probably forgot about by the time the show was over. I would like to see Kristy go home, because I just don't like her.
