American Idol 11

First auditions for the eleventh season were held in Savannah.

Life can be tough out there - literally - for Amy Brumfield who lives in a tent. She was one of the successful ones.

Colton Dixon was back too with his sister. At first only his sister was going to audition but the judges persuaded him to do so. They were both successful in their auditions.

Best audition was by Phillip Phillips. His first song was not as good as his second one. So catch the "Thriller" right at the end.

American Idol 10: Scotty won

Yesterday Scotty won the American Idol season 10 . Here is the video of one of his performances in the final, singing the new single " I Love you This Big".

Scotty and Lauren are in the final. I think Scotty will be the favourite to win it - he seems to perform better in the faster songs. I also think my computer tv audio isnt very good so probably that is why some of the singing doesnt't sound as good as it should be.

Jacob went home this week but I felt that he was actually not that bad with his cover of "No Air". I thought he was better than the other two girls but possibly his cockiness may have let him down in the voting. I think he was moving in the right direction in song choice (once again J-Lo seems right with her comments) . "No Air" sounds more current.

Overall Scotty was the best this week as James got a little too emotional with the second song - which may not have helped him in the later stages of the song.

I agree with J-Lo that James has been the most consistent of the top 13 singers and could win it. However it may have been different if Chris Medina was still around. Scotty and James did well on Carole King night so it could be a Scotty versus James final.

This was one of the weaker weeks of the show - mostly due to song choice I think. Haley was the winner in that area (for best song choice that is) with her cover of " Rolling In The Deep" and it was a good performance too- possibly the best of that day.

Stefano went back home this week even though " Closer" was one of his best performances. Funny that Jimmy Iovine mentioned the word begging, as this week I was thinking that Stefano sometimes sang like he was begging for votes.

Scotty was probably the weakest this week but I guess his fan base managed to keep him out of the bottom three.

This week was also quite good though not as good as the last one. I didn't think Paul was the worst one. The surprise performance was by Casey. " Nature Boy" is not a very catchy song but he sang it well. James was the other "risky" performer with " Heavy Metal" (not a very catchy song as well) but I thought he covered it well too. Scotty went back to singing country music and did a good job this week again.

Strange that Haley whom I wrote was the weakest one last week was the only one who was criticised this week but I dont think she was the worst one this week either. If I were to pick a bottom three - it would have been Jacob, Lauren and Stefano (the dark horse this year).
