She can hit a high note, but beyond that, I’m just not sure how much I enjoyed her performance last night.

Nothing stands out about her voice, and for the majority of the song, it sounds like she has a stuffy nose or is holding her breath. Sure she can hit some really high notes, but does she have a great sounding voice? not so sure…

I really didn’t really notice her until her performance this week. Siobhan Magnus sang “Think” by Aretha Franklin and blew everyone away with her high note towards the end.  Even Kara sat in awe, repeating a couple times how she  didn’t know how she was able to hit that  note.

Siobhan Magnus is a cute, quirky, and amazingly talented 19 year old from Cape Cod, MA. Simon predicted she’d be a dark horse in this season’s competition… and I think he’s right.  Watch out idols, this girl might be the one to beat!

The whole song was decent, and then that at high note she hit towards the end sort of blew the rest of the contestants out of the water.  I looked her up on youtube, and found out she can go even higher than that!

I’m looking forward to seeing more from this talented girl!

He has an amazing voice, and was able to keep composure while the judges were messing around during his performance. Check him out:

From last night, even though the judges found Didi Benami’s performance to be dull and forgettable — I couldn’t disagree more! Didi has the most unique and amazing voice out of the entire group this year, and she sings with such conviction. I’ll be buying her song on itunes for sure!! Didi does an awesome version of “The way I am” by Ingrid Michaelson.

Although this isn’t the FIRST time Kara Dioguardi has showed off her awesome bod, I think it still comes as a surprise to people.

For those of you who missed it last time, here’s a picture of her busting out of her dress at the Idol Finale last season as a joke:

Check her out yourself. Behind the scene footage from her Maxim shoot:

She looked kind of familiar, and then I realized I had seen her before on season 3 of America’s Best Dance Crew! The Boxcuttuhz:

This girl is so multi-talented. She should try out for American Idol and become a star!!!

Why the heck did they make “Sweet Escape” by Gwen Stefani one of the song choices? Goodness! After watching last night’s episode, I have a new found respect for Gwen Stefani.

Check out how badly these idol hopefuls botched their songs, especially when it comes to “Sweet Escape”:

So if you don’t have the time to watch the show over and over on DVR until 2am like some ppl… you can just catch my recaps of the good stuff!

MY TOP THREE FAVORITE LADIES

DiDi Benami sang “Terrified” by Kara Dioguardi

This girl, DiDi is unbelievably talented. Her voice gives me chills. To top it off, she is incredibly humble and seems to have no idea how amazing she is. Makes me want to vote for her. So far, she’s my front runner!

Janell Wheeler sang “american boy” and it was such a beautiful version of it, I had to listen to it a couple more times. Word on the street is, this girl has dated NFL’s Tim Tebow. ooh lala!

Haeley Vaughn is a “country pop” singer, which happens to be all the rage nowadays thanks to Taylor Swift. I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this girl at first. She has a unique sound to her voice that could be borderline annoying. In fact, the footage cut to Ellen saying “I think this girl can get annoying,” and although they didn’t say who she was referring to — I immediately assumed she was talking about Haeley. haha. anywho.. although her voice can get close to the annoying side, it might be annoying in the same way Rihanna can sound annoying sometimes. haha know what i mean? She’s interesting and memorable, and I am curious to hear more:

ON TO MY THREE FAVORITE MEN (of tonight)

Andrew Garcia is cute in a understated/nerdy way, and totally reminds me of a guy I know. This guy has heart, and you can tell he’s truly passionate about his music. Love him!

Michael Lynche missed the birth of his baby to be in Idol… When I heard that, i though… ok… he better be good. Yup… he was. He sang “Waiting on the World to Change” and it was such a feel good performance with the audience singing along in the background.

Casey James. yum! Something about him draws me in… is it his eyes? Is it because he took his shirt off in his audition? Something about a hot guy and a guitar…. Gosh, he reminds me of James a.k.a. Sawyer from LOST. Can’t…. seem… to… get him out of my head. hahaha jk jk. Anyhow, his voice is actually really nice. Def want to see more of him. =)

Tell me what you thought of the show!!

YES! Finally, the shenanigans are shoved aside, and real talent begins to shine. Not only that, today was Ellen Degeneres official debut as a new judge! wooohooo!

I was honestly a little nervous about it when I first heard about Ellen coming on the show as a judge. Why? Because I saw her guest judge on SYTYCD. Not only was she too nice, she kept throwing out cheesy lines like “Are you a carpenter? Because you NAILED it!” ha ha.

Anyhow, I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with her tonight. She was actually pretty funny, and not in a cheesy way. She was nice, but also wasn’t afraid to be blunt and give constructive criticism. She really brought something different to the panel that made the show that much more enjoyable.. and it seems the twitter reaction to Ellen Degeneres’s American Idol judging debut is so overwhelmingly positive! Yay, go Ellen!

Here’s a video of Ellen on her show talking about Hollywood week:
