the ladies...

the ones i thought were the best last night:

mandisa - "never"

awesome, powerful voice and great stage presence... plus she picked a fucking kickass song (and kicked its ass) - i like her a lot.

paris - "midnight train to georgia"

okay, she was a little too bouncy, but she got everyone into it, and she's got an amazing voice.

and
katharine - "since i fell for you"

my favorite so far - she surprised me. I don't really remember her audition.


the two i hope are going home early -

heather - so bland i can't remember what she sang

just bland. that's all. bland. she could have a future in crest whitestrips commercials, though.

and (please, please, please send her home, america!!!)
brenna - "sunshine of my life"

hell no do i want to be watching this pile of attitude for the next few months! i'm glad she sounded like shit last night, 'cause she was one of the better ones early on. hopefully no one remembered that. save the attitude for after you win.
