Burnell has never heard Let It Be? (Crazy!) Candice attempts to find deeper meaning in ju-ju eyeballs? (Spoiler: Unsuccessful.) The girls outsing the boys? (Obvs.) All in a night’s work on Idol Beatles week. Here’s how it went down:
2. Burnell TaylorLike, who over the age of five does not know this song? It was a competent vocal, but I felt no emotion from the performance. |
RATING: |
6. paul JolleyMeh – the vocal wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t fantastic. Everything with him feels very artificial and forced. I don’t think he connects with anything he is singing. |
RATING: |
8. Devin VelezHis best performance, for sure. His vocal was fantastic! But i still don’t like the aimless walking around the stage. Get this kid a stool or something. |
RATING:
|
9. Janelle ArthurWow, a very solid performance from Janelle! Definitely my favorite of hers. I still think she is the weakest girl, but having the pimp spot should ensure her another week. |
RATING:

At minimum, no one can be chastised for poor song choice in this catalog (every song was Keith’s favorite, anyway!) That doesn’t mean that every performance was spectacular. I think Lazaro’s demise has been building for several weeks–he just doesn’t have the chops to keep up with the upper echelon of Idol talent. You can also file Paul in the category of hot messes. Other than those two, everyone else was solid…certain rocking performances may have been more solid than others (Kree! Candice! I’m looking at you ladies).
What do you think? Surprises? Disappointments? Sadness for the failure of the American public school system to incorporate Beatles 101 in the curriculum? Let me know in the comments.
Wow, the girls are killing the guys this year. Really liked Angie’s and Amber’s performances.

The voting numbers are down, many like myself have boycotted American Idol and if they don’t get some really good sound judges then next year will be a total disaster. I hope the producers get the message from Main Stream America, the message to replace all the judges with some down to earth non controversial and or strange replacement judges. This year will have an astrick next to it do to the drop in the ratings and numbers.
