TV - American Idol

So last night's theme was country on American Idol and as expected Simon had issues with the genre and being English I do kind of get where he is coming from. It is just not a style of music that we are used to but having said that he does seem to set himself into a mind set of prejudging the song rather than the performance.

Although last night overall was another pretty mediocre batch with a couple of standouts and the rest just blending together. As we see Kelly and Bucky in their element and both performing as well as you would expect. Chris Daughtry showed a softer side with a Keith Urban ballad, which is the direction Ace Young also took although to lesser effect even though he did benefit from it. Kathryn was sexy. Mandisa performed well and Elliot Yamin pulled off Garth Brooks well.

Unfortunately my picks for worst performances, of certainly people who should have done much better I have to look in the direction of Taylor Hicks and Paris Bennett, I just feel that they weren't as strong as we have seen them.

Bottom 3 should be (Remember based on performances alone): Taylor Hicks, Paris and Ace Young
America's Bottom 3 will be: Ace, Bucky and Paris.
