 So I haven't watched Idol in a few seasons, but I heard that last week was Disney week so I had to watch. It seems the judges have gotten much more friendly. There was basically no constructive criticism, just positive notes. Maybe Idina Menzel worked with them more critically? I would have passed out if I'd gotten to meet Idina. (see icon)

I thought everyone was pretty good, there was one non-memorable performance, but I can't remember what it was. LOL. I think it was Beauty and the Beast, but he ended up pulling it off with a strong finish. I was sort of surprised Ada Vox was voted off but I had not seen her other performances so I don't know if it was usually too gimmicky or what.

Okay, so I just found her performance of Defying Gravity...not impressed. Even as a duet it seemed just uninspired and not very strong.

I was pretty impressed with everyone. I mean I think Katy is a little too quirky, plus her "I'm hiding from the microphone" comment doesn't make her good Idol material. But her voice is awesome and she is definitely an old soul, as is the other girl who sang The Bare Necessities. I didn't think that was going to go well because the song itself doesn't really showcase vocal talent but she really pulled it off.

I'm using an old tag, "american idol pitchy" that I used when I used to watch Idol more religiously and Randy used to always say stuff like "I dunno dawg, it was a little pitchy." Okay so it turns out I only used that tag once but the entry still made me chuckle.
