American Idol Top 24 - Girls

Paige Miles - 24 from Florida, preschool teacher - "It's All Right Now"
Too much "ooooohhhh" and "hhhhhaaaaa" for me. I do give her props for being the first one out. She started off okay. Simon thinks she's got the best voice but I'm not too sure!

Ashley Rodriguez - 22 from Mass., student - "Happy"
Very pretty girl. She was a little breathy into the mic. I love the Leona Lewis song but I think she tried to over-sing the song. I definitely think she can do better if she has the opportunity to stick around for a few more weeks.

Janell Wheeler - 24 from Florida, wine sales rep - "What About Love"
Bad song choice. Has potential. Not much else to say...

Lilly Scott - 20 from Colorado - "Fixing A Hole"
I really like her voice. She's definitely different but I can see her doing some pretty cool stuff with different songs.

Katelyn Epperly - 19 from Iowa, student - "Oh Darling"
I think she's super cute and has a voice I love. She's a little old-school and a little rocker rebel and a little country all wrapped up into one.

Haeley Vaughn - 16 from Colorado, high school student - "I Wanna Hold Your Hand"
I loved Haeley in the beginning but tonight was just bad. She was screeching throughout the entire song. The outfit was bad. The guitar playing looked fake. Poor girl, I hope she gets a chance to redeem herself next week.

Lacey Brown - 24 from Texas, church event coordinator, second time in Hollywood - "Landslide"
I want to like Lacey but I just didn't. The pitch was up and down and it just didn't work for me. I liked parts of her performance then a second later it hurt my head! I think she couldn't have done much better with a different song.

Michelle Delamor - 22 from Florida, sales associate - "Fallin'"
Love the song, like Michelle. I've said this a lot but I think she's got great potential.

DiDi Benami - 23 from Tennessee, waitress - "The Way I Am"
Probably my favorite voice out of all the girls. Her voice is so natural. She wasn't perfect tonight but I'm really looking forward to seeing more of her.

Siobhan Magnus - 19 from Mass, glass blower (i didn't realize that was a real job) - "Wicked Gain"
It was actually a little scary for me. I've never actually liked the song so maybe it's just me.

Crystal Bowersox - 24 from Ohio, musician and mom - "Hand In My Pocket"
She's competing with DiDi for my favorite voice. She's also crazy talented with the guitar/harmonica duo. I like her carefree personality and spirit.

There's almost too many people to even begin to really talk about them in detail. i'll be able to write more as we get less people but here's to a beginning on American Idol 2010! These are in random order but I did put them in a top 6 and bottom 6.

Katie Stevens - 17 from Connecticut, high school student - "Feelin' Good"
She did well. She seemed like one of the most comfortable on the stage. She actually took the mic and moved around. I thought she did better than the judges did.

There's almost too many people to even begin to really talk about them in detail. i'll be able to write more as we get less people but here's to a beginning on American Idol 2010! I did rank them in a top 4, middle 4 and bottom 4 but within those categories it's all random. It's just the beginning so I still think anyone could go!
