American Idol: Top 5 Girls - Week 2
#1 - Melinda Doolittle
Melinda blew away every girl this week with her rendition of “My Funny Valentine”. Her voice is so controlled and professional it is scary. Lakisha Jones now has some serious competition on her hands. I would love to see these two divas battle it out on stage. Simon was right, Melinda is charming and people love her story. She will no longer be a back up singer that is for sure.
#2 - Lakisha Jones
Lakisha may just end up winning this thing. Even though she comes in 2nd on my list, she kicked some serious ass singing “Midnight Train to Georgia”. I love her wacky dance moves and super sweet and shy presence when it comes time for questions and comments. I love how she improvises certain parts in her songs, accenting her superior range. This girl can blow!
#3 - Stephanie Edwards
More of Stephanie’s spunky personality came out this week as she out sang Beyonce on a Beyonce song. She had perfect timing and her drop dead gorgeous tone make this a tight race for the girls. Stephanie will make it into the top 12 without a problem. She looks perfect and I think she can really add the pressure to my #1 & #2 picks this week.
#4 - Sabrina Sloan
Sabrina messed up a few times this week. First off, her song choice is getting to be a bit tired. I think she is one of the prettiest girls in the competition, but she needs to losen up a little and sing younger songs. Her voice reminds me of Christina Aguillera a lot, and if she keeps it up she can outlast most of the boys.
#5 - Gina Glocksen
I had a hard time justifying this last pick, but you have to give it to Gina, she did well this week. I also agree that her personality is vague, is she a rocker? Is she edgy? Or is it just the hair? She was the best white girl singer by far tonight, but that is not saying much. For example, Antonella Barber is the WORST girl ever to get this far in the past 6 seasons put together. And yes she is even worse than Jasmine Trias.
