Television: Idol Update, Week 6
Wednesday, 2006 March 29 - 10:31 am
It's modern-songs night. It's a pretty weak night all around.

Chris Daughtry: 9/10. Overall=9.0.
A pretty typically solid performance. But he's in danger of becoming a one-trick pony.

Paris Bennett: 9/10. Overall=8.8.
Energetic and soulful; this is fun, and I like it! I dare say she outperformed Beyoncé.

Katharine McPhee: 9/10. Overall=8.3.
Wow, she sang Christina Aguilera. Missed a note or two at the start, but got it together, and ended up singing it really well. It's a tough song, and I'm impressed that she pulled it off.

Taylor Hicks: 7/10. Overall=7.5.
Taylor, Taylor... we know you're old-school, but you're supposed to sing something modern this week. This was a little bit 1970s. Good singing, but I was a little bored by it.

Mandisa: 6/10. Overall=6.8.
Pitchy. A gospel song seems a little cliché, or as Simon put it, "indulgent". I think he meant "self-indulgent". Energetic, but this isn't gonna sell any records.

Elliott Yamin: 6/10. Overall=5.8.
Did he mess up the words? It's a spirited performance, but it's a little too much "I'm a funky white boy". The dancing is horrendous. The vocals are just okay.

Kellie Pickler: 5/10. Overall=5.7.
Okay, this is a terrible song choice. "Suds in a Bucket"? This is what you're trying to sell to millions of fans? It's like something you'd sing at a kid's birthday party. She sings it okay, but who cares? We need serious singers here.

Ace Young: 3/10. Overall=4.3.
Very pitchy. "Drops of Jupiter" is a great song, but as Amy said, he made it sound more like "Drops of Uranus". It's whiny and nasal, like bad karaoke. Simon agrees.

Lisa Tucker: 3/10. Overall=3.8.
Pitch is all over the place. Whiny. Boring. Even Paula is struggling to find anything good to say.

Bucky Covington: 2/10. Overall=2.5.
Well, at least all the other contestants can count on Bucky to hold down the bottom of the pile. Another pointless performance.

I'm getting so sick of that "ace face" he does at the end of every performance I'm ready to vote him off just for that alone.

Lisa, Ace, and Katharine are the bottom three. Wow, Bucky must be catching the "vote for the worst" contingent.

And... Lisa is out. Nice girl, just not good enough. See ya.
