Most of tonight’s performances were terribly boring.  I was only blown away by one performance.

Jasmine Murray was just okay. Her song choice was a silly little pop song and she started in a register too low for her. Grade C

Matt Giraud began strong with Viva La Vida but then he began to go all over

the place and some of his higher notes became weak. Grade C+

Jeanine Vailes was very boring with a song that was too much a pop song and was way too simple. Grade D

Norman Gentle was not as funny to me as he has been in the past. But his voice is actually better than he is given credit for. Grade C+

Allison Iraheta sang Alone by Heart. She has a great husky voice and sang this song very well. What was lacking was any variety. Grade B

Kris Allen did a version of a Michael Jackson song that was worse than the original. What else can one say? Grade D

Megan Joy Corkrey had the most awkward movements on stage. She sang some notes off key and some notes were quite weak. She was loved by the judges though. Grade C

Matt Breitzke was the worst thing you can be on this show: Boring. Grade F

Jesse Langseth sang with a very good, powerful voice. Bette Davis Eyes, unfortunately, is not a strong song. It doesn’t allow a singer to demonstrate any range. Grade C+

Kai Kalama sang What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted? I happen to love this song, though the judges dissed it. I thought he did a good job with it and give him a Grade B

Mishavonna Henson has a great voice and did a very good job on a boring song. Grade B

Adam Lambert is like nothing the idol stage has seen before: a bona fide rock star come alive. His range is unbelievable and his high notes are to die for. He killed tonight. Grade A+

After tonight I have to say Danny Gokey has his work cut out for him if he wants to beat Adam Lambert.
