American Idol 80’s night with the girls
March 5th, 2008

This is the last night the American Idol guys and gals will be segregated for season 7 and next week we will already be down to the final twelve. Tonight we see the girls performing for 80’s night just like the guys did last week; well, maybe almost as good as the guys did last week.

Asia’h Epperson - American Idol Asia’h Epperson started out 80’s night with Whitney Houston song and showed off an impressive voice and her usual energetic self. This girl just has a great and genuine attitude and does well against the current competition, but her real challenge will start next week when they meet up with the guys.
Kady Malloy - American Idol Kady said that she herself was surprised to see that she made it another week but we thought she would stick around. She did a much softer song than we’ve hear from her before but still showed a lack a personality. We have to agree with Simon on this one with the “robot” comment and find it hard to relate to Kady Malloy when she’s performing, but I’d be happy to relate to her in any other way possible.
Amanda Overmyer - Americal Idol What’s with this girl? A previous show she talked about a car accident she caused and this time how she managed to burn down a pool. And of course we can’t forget about the DUIs and nude photos, but we think Amanda Overmyer is taking the tough-girl attitude a little too far. She’s a nurse and obviously a talented individual so it’s time to get out from behind the ugly hair and attitude and really show us what she’s all about.
Carly Smithson - American Idol The American Idol staff does a good job of somehow magically making the contestants a little more attractive each week as they move forward… even the less-than-attractive ones. Carly Smithson wasn’t quite as difficult to look at this week but unfortunately her singing hasn’t improved as much. Carly needs to go soon.
Kristy Lee Cook Kristy Lee Cook brought me straight to memories of awkward slow dancing in junior high. She sang a great impression of Faithfully by Journey but didn’t really seem to add anything of her own to the song. Fortunately shes still got her looks which will almost certainly get her into the next round.
Ramiele Malubay - American Idol Each time I hear Ramiele Malubay sing I’m still mostly just surprised. She’s only something like 4-foot-10, and her voice when she talks sounds like she’s a tiny little person but her singing voice is bigger than most people in the competition. We think Ramiele is going to do well this season but could stand to have a little of Danny Noriega’s attitude on stage.
Brooke White Brook White looked the part of 80’s night almost as much as she did 70’s night. She did a popular Pat Benatar song that was very calm and relaxing but not very memorable. Brook is no doubt a good performer but just doesn’t strike us as the next American Idol. Maybe the next Western-American Idol.
Syesha Mercado - American Idol Syesha Mercado seems to have more experience with stage presence compared to other contestants this year and last, and it’s serving her well. Her raw good looks certainly don’t hurt either but we don’t think that’s all that will carry Syesha into next week. She will do well if she makes it on AI or not, but we’re guessing she’s going to make it close to the end of this competition.

Two of these girls are going to get voted off at the end of this week so we’re down to 6 guys and 6 girls on the same show. The guys performances really seem to be outshining the girls this season and any guys that make it through this week might get a chance at some easier competition next week as the girls’ numbers will likely dwindle.

POPTHERAPY PREDICTS: Making a prediction of which girls are going home this week is tough since although there are a few that stand out, a few of them we thought were also equally poor. Although we’d like to see Carly and Amanda tomorrow night, our picks this week go with Kady Malloy and Brook White to get voted off this week. Tomorrow night we’ll see how close we were with our guesses and find out who will fall into the final twelve that essentially “make it” and will be included in the American Idol tours for the next year.
