American Idol Semi-Final Round 2/25/09, "The Second Group of Twelve Compete", Summary of Episode 14
By Marcus
Tonight the second group of twelve singers compete for three spots in the Top 12. While tensions mount like a coiled spring, each singer will only have about 120 seconds to impress judges and the voting public. Who did well? Who faltered? Here is my recap for you.
First up with a lackluster performance was
Second up was dueling piano player Matt Giraud with “Viva la Vida.” He didn’t give us a real feeling of living life, but more or less a sense of lost opportunity. He is a down home bluesy type of singer who missed his chance tonight. Call 1-866 436 5702.
After two rather unmemorable performances, the third
attempt was made by
Finally we had entertainment. Not of the singing type, but of the humorous funny type that can only come forth from the multiple personalities of Nick Mitchell and his manic and slightly psychotic other half, Norman Gentle. All he really needed as a long thick purple bolo for a completed look. Engaging? Yes. Comical? Yes. Different? Yes. Memorable? Yes. But is he an American Idol finalist heading towards a singing career? No. Call 1-866 436 5704.
Kris Allen nicely performed “Man in the Mirror” and remains competitive. He initially was disorganized but regained his composure. Call 1-866 436 5706.
Missing her 3 year old son, single mother Megan Corkrey has a pleasing misty gentle sound while singing “Put Your Records On” but her stilted stage choreography needs work. With a little coaching, she could be another contender. Call 1-866 436 5707.
Putting down his welding torch, family man Matt Breitzke tried to rock with “If You Could Only See.” But he really didn’t succeed. His voice was decent but his presentation was boring. He continues to struggle to really make a connection with the audience and that song didn’t help. Call 1-866 436 5708.
“Betty Davis Eyes” was the selection for Jesse
Langseth who sang like her mouth was full of cotton balls. At times her
words were almost garbled. I think she was trying for a
Kai Kalama took no risks with his very safe selection of “What Becomes of a Broken Heart.” It was okay, but only okay. There was nothing there to make us remember it beyond the fading of the last notes. He needs to drastically step it up. This is a contest where only the very best succeed and he has yet to make himself unique. Can he do it? I think so, but after tonight he may never ever get another opportunity. The judges constantly tell the singers that “it is all about song selection” and Kai’s lack of a good selection is exactly what the judges are preaching. Call 1-866 436 5710.
Tonight’s best singer was saved for last. Adam Lambert rocked, strutted, and sneered “Satisfaction.” He smoked his performance and is a definite lock for the top three of these twelve singers. He has been performing musical theater for years and his confidence and stage command are so far above the others. Call 1-866 436 5712.
And that is my recap of tonight’s second group of twelve. Return here tomorrow to learn who is staying and who is packing. And don’t forget to vote, starting right now!
