It's like Amber is picking directly form a list of songs I don't want to hear her sing every week Someone please give her a link to iTunes or something.
I haven't really posted in here for a month, so let me do a quick recap.
For some odd reason, I LOVED that Top 5 Donna Summer medley. It was actually the best group performance in a long time.
Fantasia's performance was AMAZING. LMAO @ the random "HEYY!!" scream she adds between every line. She was feeling it.
-Amber's command of the stage
-The richness in Candice's voice during " to hold me, to scold me"
-Janelle missing her mark to "Let's dance the last dance" <<<<<<
-Kree walking out with elegance and attitude>>>
-Angie being so energetic with her walk >>>
-Kree's part on "Heaven Knows" sounding so soulful >>>>>> She sounded GOOD
-Her vocal on "I am yours forever more, till eternity" >>>any vocal she's done so far
-Amber doing the chorus>>>>>
-Janelle's country one on Dim All the Lights>>>
-Candice singing "let it fill you UPPPPPP">>>
-The harmonies
-The POWER in the "SHE WORKS HARD FOR THE MONEY" >>>>
-THAT TWO-STEP IN "She Works Hard For the Money">>>>>the whole season
-Janelle's "Seen a lot of teeeaaars" line>>>> I loved her interpretation of the songs
-The "Hard hard hard for the money" harmonies>>>
-That little inflection Candice does on "better treat her RIIiiightt" + it sticking out >>>>
-The ending pose
-THE TWO-STEP that they did towards the end + Candice's ad-libs>
Some of these songs are not even one-hit wonders. They might have been O.H.W for the songwriters, but who the hell cares
Of all Celine songs to sing for a "moment," why sing "Power of Love?" "Because You Loved Me" would steal the show if she wants to have a "moment."
"Emotions," really? They will really confuse the audience. When people think one-hit wonders, they think "Bad Day," "You're Beautiful," "Hit Em' Up Style," NOT these songs
I was hoping that Candice would sing "How Can I Ease the Pain" by Lisa Fischer

AT LEAST last year had some star performers performing like Demi, Katy & Nicki. NO ONE of star power has performed this year and when there was anyone of star-power, it was because they were performing with a previous Idol contestant.
