Dolly Good Show : American Idol



It's Dolly Parton week on American Idol. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. All of the contestants did well, even those who wouldn't be considered to be in the country music genre.
  • The 2 Davids were outstanding and my favorite performances of the evening.

  • BTW . . . David Cook was taken to the hospital after last nights performance because of heart palpitations and high blood pressure. He has been released and I hope he's OK

  • Michael Johns wasn't bad either, but the ascot was kinda cheesy.

  • Jolene was a great choice for Brooke White and I loved the ensemble of the fiddle, drum box, etc; but the tempo was just a tad too fast

  • Carly did well, but I think her confidence is being shaken, by the media and comments like Simon made. I agree in part . . . at this point in the competition, the stylists should be making her look great every week. Her wardrobe last night . . . not so great

  • Jason Castro is growing on me. Great performance last night. He's cute and has a winning smile, but he doesn't interview well

  • Syesha . . . You knew she would sing I Have Always Loved You. I mean, Whitney made it a hit long after Dolly originally performed it years ago. Since Whitney did, Syesha had to do it too, right? Sorry . . . if you're gonna sing anything Whitney sang, you should be able to do it just as well or better. Syesha missed the marked BIG TIME last night.

  • Country Music should have been right up Kristy Lee's alley, but she seems disconnected from her song, Coat of Many Colors.

  • Ramiele . . . . :-(

My picks for the bottom 3 tonight: RAMIELE, KRISTY LEE & SYESHA
