I've been checking out the first few Live Shows of Season 8 of American Idol.
The only spoilers that I knew of going into the Season, was who the top three were, and that there's two famous performances coming up from two of the top three (or infamous in the one case) but I am enjoying the performances for the most part, although there have been a few scary performances. ![]() I will be doing my rankings of the performances on here, so for anyone else trying to also check the series out, and you don't want spoilers, it's probably best to click off the thread. If you don't care about spoilers, then check my opinions of the nights out. ![]() My rankings: Live Show 1 - Michael Jackson - Rankings: 1. Adam Lambert - Black Or White 2. Allison Iraheta - Give In To Me 3. Alexis Grace - Dirty Diana 4. Danny Gokey - P.Y.T (Pretty Young Thing) 5. Anoop Desai - Beat It 6. Megan Joy - Rockin Robin 7. Matt Giraud - Human Nature 8.

Megan Joy - Turn Your Lights Down Low 7. Scott MacIntyre - Just The Way You Are 8. Anoop Desai - Caught Up 9. Lil Rounds - I Surrender Obviously for anyone that knows how the votes played out in each of these weeks, knows that I have some strong disagreements with the American Idol public. ![]() What did people on TIBB think of this series? Live Show 5 - Contestants Birth Year - Rankings: 1. Adam Lambert - Mad World 2. Allison Iraheta - I Can't Make You Love Me 3. Danny Gokey - Stand By Me 4. Anoop Desai - True Colors 5.

Adam Lambert - Feeling Good 2. Allison Iraheta - Someone To Watch Over Me 3. Danny Gokey - Come Rain Or Come Shine 4. Matt Giraud - My Funny Valentine 5. Kris Allen - The Way You Look Tonight Live Show 9 - Rock Music - Rankings: 1. Adam Lambert - Whole Lotta Love 2. Allison Iraheta - Cry Baby 3. Danny Gokey - Dream On - unpopular opinion, but I thought that Danny did the song mostly well, especially for a non-Rock singer. Yeah the scream could've been better, but at least he attempted it, rather than chicken out of doing it, plus I do think that he deserves credit for attempting the hardest song to sing on this particular night. And I do think that he sung most of the song well. 4. Kris Allen - Come Together Live Show 10 - Songs Chosen By The Judges - Rankings: 1. Adam Lambert - One 2. Danny Gokey - Dance Little Sister 3. Kris Allen - Apologize Live Show 10 - Songs Chosen By The Contestants: 1. Adam Lambert - Cryin 2. Kris Allen - Heartless 3. Danny Gokey - You Are So Beautiful And let's face it at this point there's only new set of performances coming up, and because I've preferred Adam to Kris in 11 different rounds, I doubt that I need a 12th round to tell me who I think should've won. ![]() No offense to Kris, as I'm sure that he is a nice guy, but he really shouldn't have beat Adam, Allison, Danny, Megan, Anoop, Matt, or Alexis in the competition, I'd also argue that Scott and Jasmine were better vocalists as well. Kris tbf, had two performances that I thought were decent, but the winner? No.

I thought that he did Dream On better than how the American Idol public sold it to me.
![]() If it weren't for the scream going wrong, I think most people would've said that he did a decent effort. I mean don't get me wrong, he is no Reece Mastin when it comes to singing show versions of Dream On, but I feel like Danny's version is overhated.

Okay... I've watched the first three Live Shows of Series 6 of American Idol, and I'll say that it's interesting.
There's been quite a few memorable performances tbf, and some of them have been decent, but overall the talent pool definitely is lower than in Season 8 imo. Although I do feel like I've seen one of my favourite joke acts of all time in this series. ![]() Anyway my rankings: Live Show 1 - Diana Ross 1. LaKisha Jones - God Bless The Child 2. Jordin Sparks - If We Hold On Together 3. Sanjaya Malakar - Ain't No Mountain High Enough 4. Melinda Doolittle - Home 5. Chris Sligh - Endless Love 6. Gina Glocksen - Love Child 7. Stephanie Edwards - Love Hangover 8. Blake Lewis - You Keep Me Hangin On 9. Haley Scarnato - Missing You 10. Brandon Rogers - You Can't Hurry Love 11. Chris Richardson - The Boss 12. Phil Stacey - I'm Gonna Make You Love Me Live Show 2 - British Invasion 1. Sanjaya Malakar - You Really Got Me - Let's just say... That this performance will never leave my memory. ![]() 2. Phil Stacey - Tobacco Road 3. LaKisha Jones - Diamonds Are Forever 4. Jordin Sparks - I (Who Have Nothing) 5. Gina Glocksen - Paint It Black 6. Chris Sligh - She's Not There 7. Melinda Doolittle - As Long As He Needs Me 8. Chris Richardson - Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying 9. Stephanie Edwards - You Don't Have To Say You Love Me 10. Blake Lewis - Time Of The Season 11. Haley Scarnato - Tell Him Live Show 3 - Gwen Stefani (plus songs that inspired Gwen Stefani) 1. Blake Lewis - Lovesong 2. Chris Richardson - Don't Speak 3. Sanjaya Malakar - Bathwater 4. Gina Glocksen - I'll Stand By You 5. Haley Scarnato - True Colors - Imo, her best vocal. 6. Melinda Doolittle - Heaven Knows 7. LaKisha Jones - Last Dance 8. Phil Stacey - Every Breath You Take 9. Jordin Sparks - Hey Baby 10. Chris Sligh - Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more of these bizarre performances from this season. ![]() Live Show 4 - American Classics 1. Melinda Doolittle - I Got Rhythm 2. LaKisha Jones - Stormy Weather 3. Phil Stacey - Night And Day 4. Sanjaya Malakar - Cheek To Cheek - definitely his best vocal at this stage imo. 5. Gina Glocksen - Smile 6. Haley Scarnato - Ain't Misbehavin 7. Jordin Sparks - On A Clear Day You Can See Forever 8. Chris Richardson - Don't Get Around Much Anymore 9. Blake Lewis - Mack The Knife Live Show 5 - Latin 1. LaKisha Jones - Conga 2. Chris Richardson - Smooth 3. Phil Stacey - Maria Maria 4. Sanjaya Malakar - Besame Mucho 5. Melinda Doolittle - Sway 6. Blake Lewis - I Need To Know 7. Jordin Sparks - Rhythm Is Gonna Get You 8. Haley Scarnato - Turn The Beat Around Live Show 6 - Country 1. Blake Lewis - When The Stars Go Blue 2. Melinda Doolittle - Trouble Is A Woman 3. Chris Richardson - Mayberry 4. Phil Stacey - Where The Blacktop Ends 5. LaKisha Jones - Jesus, Take The Wheel 6. Sanjaya Malakar - Something To Talk About 7. Jordin Sparks - A Broken Wing Live Show 7 - Inspirational Songs 1. Blake Lewis - Imagine 2. Melinda Doolittle - There Will Come A Day 3. Jordin Sparks - You'll Never Walk Alone 4. Phil Stacey - The Change 5. LaKisha Jones - I Believe 6. Chris Richardson - Change The World Live Show 8 - Bon Jovi 1. Chris Richardson - Wanted Dead Or Alive - What a performance! 2. Melinda Doolittle - Have A Nice Day - Melinda imo did a lot better on this theme than I ever expected for her, fair play. 3. Blake Lewis - You Give Love A Bad Name - Definitely my favourite of Blake's more experimental performances. 4. Phil Stacey - Blaze Of Glory - He definitely improved a lot from the first Live Show. 5. LaKisha Jones - This Ain't A Love Song 6. Jordin Sparks - Livin On A Prayer - I actually didn't dislike this performance, I actually liked all of the performances in this round. I just felt that Jordin gave the weakest vocal out of the six. Live Show 9 - Bee Gees Round 1 1. Blake Lewis - You Should Be Dancing - It's the performance I found to be the most catchy. 2. Melinda Doolittle - Love You Inside Out 3. Jordin Sparks - To Love Somebody 4. LaKisha Jones - Stayin Alive Live Show 9 - Bee Gees Round 2 1. Jordin Sparks - Woman In Love 2. Melinda Doolittle - How Can You Mend A Broken Heart 3. Blake Lewis - This Is Where I Came In 4. LaKisha Jones - Run To Me Live Show 10 - Round 1 1. Melinda Doolittle - I Believe In You And Me 2. Blake Lewis - Roxanne 3. Jordin Sparks - Wishing On A Star - Has there ever been a good cover of this song on a Singing Show lol? Live Show 10 - Round 2 1. Melinda Doolittle - Nutbush City Limits 2. Blake Lewis - This Love 3. Jordin Sparks - She Works Hard For The Money Live Show 10 - Round 3 1. Blake Lewis - When I Get You Alone 2. Melinda Doolittle - I'm A Woman 3. Jordin Sparks - I (Who Have Nothing) - Her best performance on this particular night imo. I didn't do the final two, because it's mainly repeat performances anyway. And tbh I know that I would in general probably prefer Blake's performances. Jordin imo is a better vocalist than Kris Allen from Series 8 imo, out of the two winners that I've heard so far, but she stagnated more for me as her series went along, where as Kris did get much better from his week 1 performance in Series 8 imo. And in Jordin's own year, I feel like Melinda and LaKisha were better vocalists than her, and that nearly every other contestant was more interesting to watch than her. And in particular Blake, Chris, and Phil imo dramatically improved from their first week. And look I get that it's subjective and all that, but I really haven't understood the American Idol voters choice in winners at all so far, maybe it's third time lucky. ![]() Warning to anyone that does check this series out though, the first week is the worst Live Show by a mile, nearly everyone is terrible, bar imo LaKisha, Jordin, and Melinda, who could actually sing in key and remember their lyrics. And tbf Chris Sligh, Gina, and Stephanie were okay on the night, but watch out for what I believe to be the bottom 5 on the night, plus Sanjaya was a joke act for the year, so be prepared for him as well. ![]() As I've said earlier, Blake, Phil, and Chris Richardson grow as the series goes along imo, and maybe partially I just got used to the way that all three performed.

Quote:
I did catch Simon getting really personal with Haley during one of her performances, basically slut shaming her for her outfit that she was wearing. And the outfit weren't that bad I think. I honestly blame Simon's unnecessary critique of contestants as to why modern Talent Show judges have to be so lame and overly positive in their critique, because the judges and the production are both scared of their reputation being ruined by being even remotely similar to Simon. I mean honestly, there was no need for Simon's comments towards Haley, and I say that as someone that isn't rooting for Haley on the Show.

I've watched the first two Live Shows of Season 9 of American Idol.
I already have an iconic performance from this series in the first Live Show (but I already knew that I liked it from when I heard it years ago,) but it's still aged well for me when compared to the other performances that I've heard so far (even compared to said Contestant's Week 2 performance.) I feel like Live Show 1 was better overall than Live Show 2, in particular I thought that Live Show 2 had two especially terrible performances (I honestly don't get how one of them escaped the bottom three tbh.) Anyway my personal rankings so far. Live Show 1 - The Rolling Stones 1. Siobhan Magnus - Paint It Black 2. Andrew Garcia - Gimme Shelter 3. Tim Urban - Under My Thumb 4. Didi Benami - Play With Fire 5. Crystal Bowersox - You Can't Always Get What You Want 6. Casey James - It's All Over Now 7. Paige Miles - Honky Tonk Women 8. Lee DeWyze - Beast Of Burden 9. Lacey Brown - Ruby Tuesday 10. Michael Lynche - Miss You 11. Katie Stevens - Wild Horses - This performance was extremely painful to listen to imo. 12. Aaron Kelly - Angie - I'm not convinced that there is even a good vocal to work with here. Live Show 2 - Billboard Number Ones 1. Tim Urban - Crazy Little Thing Called Love 2. Crystal Bowersox - Me And Bobby McGee - Tbf, her vocal imo was the strongest on the night. It just wasn't as fun as Tim's performance for me. 3. Didi Benami - You're No Good - I don't get why Simon went so harsh on her tbh, I thought that there were quite a few worse than Didi on the night. I thought that she did well. 4. Siobhan Magnus - Superstition 5. Michael Lynche - When A Man Loves A Woman 6. Casey James - The Power Of Love 7. Katie Stevens - Big Girls Don't Cry 8. Andrew Garcia - I Heard It Through The Grapevine 9. Lee DeWyze - The Letter 10. Aaron Kelly - I Don't Want To Miss A Thing - He murdered it imo, like really butchered it. I can't really say anything nice about the performance without lying to myself, which I refuse to do. ![]() 11. Paige Miles - Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now) - Somehow even worse than Aaron Kelly's butchery of Aerosmith. I know that I'm probably sounding harsh, but they both were really bad on the night imo. Live Show 3 - R&B/Soul 1. Michael Lynche - Ready For Love 2. Lee DeWyze - Treat Her Like A Lady 3. Crystal Bowersox - Midnight Train To Georgia 4. Andrew Garcia - Forever 5. Tim Urban - Sweet Love 6. Didi Benami - What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted 7. Casey James - Hold On, I'm Comin 8. Katie Stevens - Chain Of Fools 9. Siobhan Magnus - Through The Fire 10. Aaron Kelly - Ain't No Sunshine Live Show 4 - Lennon-McCartney 1. Siobhan Magnus - Across The Universe 2. Crystal Bowersox - Come Together 3. Michael Lynche - Eleanor Rigby 4. Katie Stevens - Let It Be 5. Tim Urban - All My Loving 6. Andrew Garcia - Can't Buy Me Love 7. Casey James - Jealous Guy - He has a good voice, but he really needs to start pushing himself more. 8. Lee DeWyze - Hey Jude 9. Aaron Kelly - The Long And Winding Road The Lennon-McCartney night has been my favourite so far in this series, most of the performances were of a high standard imo. Live Show 5 - Elvis Presley 1. Tim Urban - Can't Help Falling In Love 2. Michael Lynche - In The Ghetto 3. Crystal Bowersox - Saved 4. Andrew Garcia - Hound Dog 5. Aaron Kelly - Blue Suede Shoes - An improvement from Aaron imo. 6. Lee DeWyze - A Little Less Conversation - It was okay, Lee needs to start pushing himself more though imo. 7. Siobhan Magnus - Suspicious Minds 8. Katie Stevens - Baby What You Want Me To Do 9. Casey James - Lawdy Miss Clawdy - He is getting really samey for my taste. He needs to come out and do something unexpected imo. Live Show 6 - Inspirational Music 1. Michael Lynche - Hero 2. Tim Urban - Better Days 3. Crystal Bowersox - People Get Ready 4. Siobhan Magnus - When You Believe 5. Lee DeWyze - The Boxer 6. Casey James - Don't Stop 7. Aaron Kelly - I Believe I Can Fly - That vocal. ![]() Live Show 7 - Shania Twain 1. Crystal Bowersox - No One Needs To Know 2. Siobhan Magnus - Any Man Of Mine - I thought that this was one of Siobhan's better nights personally. Another really shocking voting decision in this season for me. 3. Michael Lynche - It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing 4. Aaron Kelly - You've Got A Way - Finally! A decent performance from Aaron, it's nice to say that I genuinely liked a performance off him. 5. Casey James - Don't 6. Lee DeWyze - You're Still The One Live Show 8 - Frank Sinatra 1. Michael Lynche - The Way You Look Tonight 2. Crystal Bowersox - Summer Wind - Definitely her worst performance imo. 3. Lee DeWyze - That's Life 4. Aaron Kelly - Fly Me To The Moon 5. Casey James - Blue Skies - Whoa! ![]() Live Show 9 - Movie Soundtracks 1. Crystal Bowersox - I'm Alright 2. Lee DeWyze - Kiss From A Rose 3. Michael Lynche - Will You Be There 4. Casey James - Mrs. Robinson Live Show 10 - Round 1 1. Crystal Bowersox - Come To My Window 2. Lee DeWyze - Simple Man 3. Casey James - Ok, It's Alright With Me Live Show 10 - Round 2 1. Crystal Bowersox - Maybe I'm Amazed 2. Lee DeWyze - Hallelujah 3. Casey James - Daughters I mean imo it's obvious that Crystal should've won the Season for being an incredible vocalist every week bar Frank Sinatra night. And if not Crystal, then it should've been one of Siobhan, Michael, or the underrated Tim. Lee should've finished fifth, and Casey should've gone around week 5, when his act was running stale imo.

I'm really in the zone with American Idol at the moment, I've done the first three Live Shows of Season 13 so far, and I am liking the Season so far.
I was definitely scared early on in the first Live Show (bar one performance, which I thought was decent,) but thankfully the later performances on the night (plus the next two Live Shows,) have got me more into the Season. And I've already got a few iconic performances in the series, which I'm happy about. Anyway my rankings. Live Show 1 - This Is Me 1. Jessica Meuse - The Crow & The Butterfly - I really enjoyed this, Jessica has a really good voice, with a good style going on imo. 2. Alex Preston - A Beautiful Mess 3.

Emily Piriz - Let's Get Loud Live Show 3 - Movie Soundtracks 1. Jena Irene - Decode 2. Jessica Meuse - The Sound Of Silence - The judges heavily underrate her performances imo. 3. Caleb Johnson - Skyfall - Tbf, a very good vocal, I weren't a huge fan of the Shows arrangement for him though, they did a bizarre edit to the song for my taste. But as I've already said, Caleb is delivering a fantastic vocal. 4. MK Nobilette - Make You Feel My Love 5. Dexter Roberts - Sweet Home Alabama 6. Alex Preston - Falling Slowly 7. Malaya Watson - I Am Changing 8. C.J Harris - Can't You See 9. Ben Briley - Bennie And The Jets 10. Sam Woolf - Come Together 11. Majesty Rose - Let It Go Live Show 4 - Billboard Top 10 1.

But either way I just wanted to say R.I.P, C.J. 9. Alex Preston - Don't Speak - ![]() Live Show 6 - Back To The Start 1. Jessica Meuse - Blue-Eyed Lie 2. Dexter Roberts - One Mississippi 3. Sam Woolf - Lego House 4. Caleb Johnson - Chain Of Fools 5. Alex Preston - Fairytales 6. C.J. Harris - Soulshine 7. Jena Irene - Rolling In The Deep - ![]() 8. Malaya Watson - Ain't No Way - ![]() Live Show 7 - Music From The 1980's 1. Caleb Johnson - Faithfully - It was nice to see Caleb have a more softer performance. And he is a fantastic vocalist. 2. Sam Woolf - Time After Time 3. Jessica Meuse - Call Me 4. Jena Irene - I Love Rock And Roll 5. Dexter Roberts - Keep Your Hands To Yourself 6. Alex Preston - Every Breath You Take 7.

Caleb Johnson - I Don't Want To Miss A Thing 4. Sam Woolf - Sing 5. Jena Irene - My Body Live Show 10 - America's Choice - Round 2 1. Sam Woolf - How To Save A Life 2. Jessica Meuse - Summertime Sadness 3. Alex Preston - Say Something 4. Caleb Johnson - Still Of The Night - A very strong vocal imo. I just thought that the other three were better. 5. Jena Irene - Valerie - ![]() Live Show 11 - Round 1 1. Jena Irene - Heartbreaker 2. Alex Preston - Too Close 3. Jessica Meuse - Since U Been Gone 4. Caleb Johnson - You Give Love A Bad Name Live Show 11 - Round 2 1. Jena Irene - Bad Romance 2. Alex Preston - I'm Yours 3. Jessica Meuse - So What 4. Caleb Johnson - Travelin Band Live Show 11 - Round 3 1. Jessica Meuse - You And I 2. Alex Preston - Yellow 3. Jena Irene - Can't Help Falling In Love 4. Caleb Johnson - Maybe I'm Amazed Live Show 12 - Round 1 1. Caleb Johnson - Never Tear Us Apart 2. Jena Irene - Titanium - ![]() 3. Alex Preston - Pompeii - I've found out that Alex was ill during this performance, so I'll spare him the emoji on those grounds. Live Show 12 - Round 2 1. Alex Preston - Stay 2. Jena Irene - Heart Attack 3. Caleb Johnson - Demons - Being serious, this is Caleb's worst vocal of the entire Season imo, I do think that he was getting stagnant anyway, but this was definitely a below par performance for him. He is a great vocalist overall though imo, despite the stagnation that I felt with him by the end. Again like Alex, Caleb was ill on the night, so I'll cut him some slack in the vocal department. However my point about him stagnating towards the end of the competition I do believe to be true. And Caleb and Jena were definitely the most favoured by production that I have possibly seen by any of the Seasons that I have watched of American Idol so far. I'm personally really enjoying the series, I personally think that the talent is stronger than Season 6, and on par with Season 9 imo (and because the voting is better in this year, you do overall get better Live Shows.) Season 8 I still think might have overall the strongest line-up that I've seen though, because Season 13 does have some early elimination contestants that are... Interesting. The one contestant begins with a K, and the other begins with an M. There's a few gripes that I have with the Season though, that I will address out of fairness. 1. The camera has to stop panning to the judges when the contestants are performing, sometimes I'm seeing more of Jennifer Lopez than I am say C.J for example during his performance. I want to watch the contestants, not the judges. 2. The favouritism towards Jena, Alex, and Caleb from production is really blatant, they all get late time slots, and overall preferential treatment. Don't get me wrong, I really like Caleb, and I have really liked some performances from Jena, and I really liked Alex's first Live Show, so I'm not hating on any of the three, it's just to me, they're blatantly being favoured by production. 3. Jessica and Dexter (especially Dexter,) getting harsh time slots and comments, like Jessica and Dexter delivered good performances every week imo (or to where I am currently with Jessica,) yet the Show has mistreated them badly imo, I mean Dexter even got picked on for his diction which I thought was really rude, especially considering that I could personally understand what he was saying, and I could understand what he was singing, so the comment just felt like they wanted to make him look like a simpleton, which is really harsh imo. 4. Sam being treated as "The Hearthrob," does him a massive disservice in my view. Apart from Come Together in the third Live Show, I think that Sam has delivered solid vocals and has displayed a strong talent throughout the competition, I really don't like how the Show is treating him like he is their own equivalent to Lloyd Daniels off of The X Factor. He was a good contestant in his year, and I will not be embarrassed to admit that. 5. Jennifer Lopez speaking to the judges during certain contestants performances, in particular I've seen her do it multiple times to Jessica, and at least once to Caleb, C.J (RIP,) and Sam, whether the production are telling her to do that, or she's being deliberately unlikable, it's really disrespectful imo, and blatantly trying to influence the public to feel a certain way about certain performers/performances, which I say let people make their own minds up on the Show.

I've done a chart for each of the Seasons that I've completed of American Idol, where I combine my rankings of contestants on each night, and start tallying up points to how the series would've gone in each Season if it was up to me.
Obviously the contestants that were in less weeks are disadvantaged, because they can't pick up points in my chart when they've been eliminated from the competition. Anyway we're going to start with Season 9. 1st Place - Crystal Bowersox - 66 points (after 11 performances) 2nd Place - Michael Lynche - 53 points (after 9 performances) 3rd Place - Tim Urban - 47 points (after 6 performances) 4th Place - Siobhan Magnus - 43 points (after 7 performances) 5th Place - Lee DeWyze - 37 points (after 11 performances) 6th Place - Andrew Garcia - 32 points (after 5 performances) 7th Place - Casey James - 29 points (after 11 performances) 8th Place - Didi Benami - 23 points (after 3 performances) 9th Place - Katie Stevens - 18 points (after 5 performances) 10th Place - Aaron Kelly - 16 points (after 8 performances) 11th Place - Paige Miles - 7 points (after 2 performances) 12th Place - Lacey Brown - 4 points (after 1 performance) Season 6: 1st Place - Melinda Doolittle - 62 points (after 13 performances) 2nd Place - Blake Lewis - 51 points (after 13 performances) 3rd Place - LaKisha Jones - 50 points (after 10 performances) 4th Place - Sanjaya Malakar - 42 points (after 6 performances ![]() 5th Place - Jordin Sparks - 41 points (after 13 performances) 6th Place - Phil Stacey - 37 points (after 8 performances) 7th Place - Chris Richardson - 36 points (after 8 performances) 8th Place - Gina Glocksen - 26 points (after 4 performances) 9th Place - Haley Scarnato - 16 points (after 5 performances) 10th Place - Chris Sligh - 15 points (after 3 performances) 11th Place - Stephanie Edwards - 9 points (after 2 performances) 12th Place - Brandon Rogers - 3 points (after 1 performance) Season 8: 1st Place - Adam Lambert - 77 points (after 11 performances) 2nd Place - Alison Iraheta - 62 points (after 9 performances) 3rd Place - Danny Gokey - 56 points (after 11 performances) 4th Place - Anoop Desai - 35 points (after 7 performances) 5th Place - Matt Giraud - 35 points (after 8 performances) 6th Place - Kris Allen - 28 points (after 11 performances) 7th Place - Megan Joy - 21 points (after 4 performances) 8th Place - Scott MacIntyre - 20 points (after 5 performances) 9th Place - Alexis Grace - 18 points (after 2 performances) 10th Place - Lil Rounds - 15 points (after 7 performances) 11th Place - Michael Sarver - 12 points (after 3 performances) 12th Place - Jasmine Murray - 5 points (after 1 performance) 13th Place - Jorge Nunez - 1 point (after 1 performance) Once I've completed Season 13, those contestants will also have their own chart.

I've done the first two Live Shows so far.
I feel like some of them have talent (although the Show isn't always utilizing some of these talented acts very well imo,) and some of them really don't (like so far imo, the hearthrob contestant is not breaking negative stereotypes for that type of contestant this year I think. ![]() And I remember listening to a few performances from this year, years ago, but I am attempting to go in with an open mind. Anyway my rankings. Live Show 1 - Whitney Houston & Stevie Wonder 1. Colton Dixon - Lately 2. Phillip Phillips - Superstition 3. Jessica Sanchez - I Will Always Love You 4. Elise Testone - I'm Your Baby Tonight 5. Joshua Ledet - I Wish 6. Skylar Laine - Where Do Broken Hearts Go 7. Heejun Han - All In Love Is Fair 8. Hollie Cavanagh - All The Man That I Need 9. Erika Van Pelt - I Believe In You And Me 10. Jermaine Jones - Knocks Me Off My Feet 11. DeAndre Brackensick - Master Blaster (Jammin) 12. Jeremy Rosado - Ribbon In The Sky 13. Shannon Magrane - I Have Nothing - ![]() Live Show 2 - Contestants Birth Year 1. Jessica Sanchez - Turn The Beat Around 2. Joshua Ledet - When A Man Loves A Woman 3. Elise Testone - Let's Stay Together 4. Phillip Phillips - Hard To Handle 5. Colton Dixon - Broken Heart 6. Skylar Laine - Love Sneakin Up On You 7. Hollie Cavanagh - The Power Of Love 8. Heejun Han - Right Here Waiting 9. Shannon Magrane - One Sweet Day - A slight improvement over the first week imo. 10. Erika Van Pelt - Heaven - ![]() 11. DeAndre Brackensick - Endless Love - ![]() Live Show 3 - Billy Joel 1. Colton Dixon - Piano Man 2. Elise Testone - Vienna 3. Phillip Phillips - Movin Out (Anthony's Song) 4. Joshua Ledet - She's Got A Way 5. Skylar Laine - Shameless 6. Jessica Sanchez - Everybody Has A Dream 7. Heejun Han - My Life - Definitely... Interesting. 8. Hollie Cavanagh - Honesty 9. DeAndre Brackensick - Only The Good Die Young - ![]() 10. Erika Van Pelt - New York State Of Mind - Without meaning to be too disrespectful here, but how did Erika and DeAndre even get to the lives? ![]() Live Show 4 - Personal Idols 1. Elise Testone - Whole Lotta Love 2. Joshua Ledet - Without You 3. Jessica Sanchez - Sweet Dreams 4. Skylar Laine - Gunpowder & Lead - I think that Skylar has been a decent singer imo, the public were a bit harsh this week in my view. 5. Colton Dixon - Everything 6. Phillip Phillips - Still Rainin 7. Heejun Han - A Song For You - Heejun's best vocal imo. 8. Hollie Cavanagh - Jesus, Take The Wheel 9. DeAndre Brackensick - Sometimes I Cry - ![]() Live Show 5 - Music From The 1980's 1. Colton Dixon - Time After Time 2. Joshua Ledet - If You Don't Know Me By Now 3. Skylar Laine - Wind Beneath My Wings 4. Phillip Phillips - That's All 5. Jessica Sanchez - How Will I Know 6. Elise Testone - I Want To Know What Love Is 7. Hollie Cavanagh - Flashdance... What A Feeling - ![]() 8. DeAndre Brackensick - I Like It - The emoji can't even describe DeAndre's performances at this point lol. This night I thought was the weakest of the series imo, only Colton, Joshua, and Skylar sounded any good on the night imo. Live Show 6 - Music From The 2010's 1. Colton Dixon - Love The Way You Lie - This performance definitely is above the average quality of the Season imo, because this Season definitely isn't as good as 13, 8, or 9 imo, but Colton's Love The Way You Lie performance definitely could've belonged in one of those Seasons, a really strong performance. 2. Joshua Ledet - Runaway Baby 3. Skylar Laine - Didn't You Know How Much I Loved You 4. Hollie Cavanagh - ****in Perfect - Definitely my favourite Hollie performance. 5. Phillip Phillips - Give A Little More 6. Jessica Sanchez - Stuttering - Good vocal, but wtf at the song! Lol. 7. Elise Testone - You And I Live Show 7 - Music From Now & Then - Round 1 1. Colton Dixon - Bad Romance 2. Joshua Ledet - I Believe 3. Phillip Phillips - U Got It Bad - Definitely one of his more interesting performances imo. 4. Jessica Sanchez - Fallin 5. Skylar Laine - Born This Way 6. Hollie Cavanagh - Rolling In The Deep 7. Elise Testone - No One Live Show 7 - Music From Now & Then - Round 2 1. Colton Dixon - September - I've seen some bad voting decisions on American Idol since I've been getting into the Show, but Season 11's equivalent to Adam Lambert (in terms of being the most talented,) being eliminated at the top 7 is ****ing crazy to me personally. He very clearly was head and shoulders above the rest of the line-up in my view. 2. Joshua Ledet - A Change Is Gonna Come 3. Jessica Sanchez - Try A Little Tenderness - It weren't perfect imo, but I did really like the growl sounding notes. ![]() 4. Skylar Laine - I Heard It Through The Grapevine 5. Phillip Phillips - In The Midnight Hour 6. Hollie Cavanagh - Son Of A Preacher Man 7. Elise Testone - Let's Get It On Live Show 8 - Round 1 1. Skylar Laine - The Show Must Go On 2. Jessica Sanchez - Bohemian Rhapsody 3. Elise Testone - I Want It All 4. Phillip Phillips - Fat Bottomed Girls 5. Joshua Ledet - Crazy Little Thing Called Love 6. Hollie Cavanagh - Save Me Live Show 8 - Round 2 1. Joshua Ledet - Ready For Love 2. Hollie Cavanagh - The Climb - The way the arrangement worked for her on both The Climb and with Perfect, I believe that this type of song is where Hollie should've gone down more often on the Show, as both songs compliment her voice quite well imo. 3. Jessica Sanchez - Dance With My Father 4. Phillip Phillips - The Stone - I felt like Phillip was on the cusp of doing something truly amazing here, but the goofy smile kind of took me out of his performance, and not for the first time this season with one of his performances. 5. Skylar Laine - Tattoos On This Town 6. Elise Testone - Bold As Love Live Show 9 - Round 1 1. Jessica Sanchez - Proud Mary 2. Joshua Ledet - Ain't Too Proud To Beg 3. Skylar Laine - Fortunate Son 4. Hollie Cavanagh - River Deep Mountain High 5. Phillip Phillips - The Letter - I don't why he isn't getting better at this stage of the competition, he is still at week 1 level. Live Show 9 - Round 2 1. Hollie Cavanagh - Bleeding Love - I don't know what I'm more shocked about tbh, the fact that there was a really good cover of Bleeding Love, the fact that it's in this particular series of American Idol and it wasn't from Colton delivering such a quality performance, or the fact that it came from Hollie, who whilst admittedly has improved over the last few rounds, I didn't think that she could sing to this level. A pleasant surprise of the series for me. 2. Jessica Sanchez - You Are So Beautiful 3. Joshua Ledet - To Love Somebody 4. Skylar Laine - You Don't Have To Say You Love Me 5. Phillip Phillips - Time Of The Season - Tbf, I liked this performance more than his first leg, but seriously what is wrong with the American Idol voters? They're worse than The X Factor ones (with the exception of Caleb tbf.) Live Show 10 - Round 1 1. Hollie Cavanagh - Faithfully - Not anywhere near the Bleeding Love standard imo, but still a decent performance. 2. Jessica Sanchez - Steal Away 3. Joshua Ledet - You Raise Me Up - I actually noticed Joshua hit a bum note, it finally happened, which is incredible that it took so long. ![]() 4. Phillip Phillips - Have You Ever Seen The Rain? Live Show 10 - Round 2 1. Phillip Phillips - Volcano - Finally! A really good performance from Phillip, and no bloody smiling during the performance either. ![]() 2. Joshua Ledet - It's A Man's Man's Man's World - A fantastic vocal from Joshua, definitely the best vocal of the night imo, even if the song choice is lazy and uninspired. 3. Hollie Cavanagh - I Can't Make You Love Me 4. Jessica Sanchez - And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going - Definitely my least favourite Jessica performance by a mile. Live Show 11 - Round 1 1. Joshua Ledet - I'd Rather Go Blind 2. Jessica Sanchez - My All - Definitely nice to hear a different Mariah song being covered. 3. Phillip Phillips - Beggin Live Show 11 - Round 2 1. Joshua Ledet - Imagine 2. Jessica Sanchez - I Don't Want To Miss A Thing 3. Phillip Phillips - Disease Live Show 11 - Round 3 1. Joshua Ledet - No More Drama - Definitely joining Colton's Love The Way You Lie and Hollie's Bleeding Love as the iconic performances of the Season imo. 2. Jessica Sanchez - I'll Be There 3. Phillip Phillips - We've Got Tonite

I've watched the first two Live Shows of American Idol Season 10.
I'll say that there are some talented acts this series (one of them being in the bottom three in both weeks) which just baffles me if you hear some of the other contestants in the line-up. Because that's the issue so far, some of the contestants are absolutely woeful so far, I don't know what the **** is even going on with how bad some of them are. ![]() And the "good" ones are definitely talented to a point, but a couple of them could do better with the song choices imo, like **** me with Celine Dion and Whitney Houston being done by a Diva singer in the first two weeks for example. Anyway here's my rankings. Live Show 1 - Personal Idols 1. Haley Reinhart - Blue 2. Jacob Lusk - I Believe I Can Fly 3. Pia Toscano - All By Myself 4. James Durbin - Maybe I'm Amazed - another contestant that definitely needs to push himself more. But good voice. 5. Casey Abrams - With A Little Help From My Friends 6. Lauren Alaina - Any Man Of Mine 7. Paul McDonald - Come Pick Me Up - I am not sure that he can particularly sing that well, but he is more entertaining than the people that I'm placing below him on this night imo. 8. Naima Adedapo - Umbrella - ![]() 9. Scotty McCreery - The River - ![]() 10. Thia Megia - Smile - ![]() 11. Stefano Langone - Lately - ![]() 12. Ashthon Jones - When You Tell Me That You Love Me - ![]() 13. Karen Rodriguez - I Could Fall In Love - ![]() Live Show 2 - Contestants Birth Year 1. Casey Abrams - Smells Like Teen Spirit 2. Jacob Lusk - Alone 3. Pia Toscano - Where Do Broken Hearts Go 4. James Durbin - I'll Be There For You 5. Lauren Alaina - I'm The Only One 6. Haley Reinhart - I'm Your Baby Tonight 7. Paul McDonald - I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues - Whoa! ![]() 8. Scotty McCreery - Can I Trust You With My Heart - ![]() 9. Thia Megia - Colors Of The Wind - ![]() 10. Naima Adedapo - What's Love Got To Do With It - ![]() 11. Karen Rodriguez - Love Will Lead You Back - ![]() 12. Stefano Langone - If You Don't Know Me By Now - What the heck! ![]() Live Show 3 - Motown 1. Haley Reinhart - You've Really Got A Hold On Me 2. James Durbin - Living For The City 3. Jacob Lusk - You're All I Need To Get By 4. Paul McDonald - The Tracks Of My Tears - He is oddly growing on me. ![]() 5. Casey Abrams - I Heard It Through The Grapevine - it weren't his best performance, but I still can't believe that the public were going to eliminate him at the top 11, have they not heard some of the contestants in this series? I mean it's really hard to stay respectful about what I think were the bottom 3 or 4 performances this week. 6. Pia Toscano - All In Love Is Fair - Pia is talented, but her song choices are very uninteresting to me. 7. Lauren Alaina - You Keep Me Hangin On - I personally don't think that the song choice suited Lauren very well personally. 8. Naima Adedapo - Dancing In The Street - ![]() 9. Scotty McCreery - For Once In My Life - Surely he'll stop joking around soon. 10. Thia Megia - Heat Wave - ![]() 11. Stefano Langone - Hello - This has got to be one of the most painful vocals that I've heard throughout my watch of American Idol, what the absolute ****! ![]() Live Show 4 - Elton John 1. Haley Reinhart - Bennie And The Jets - Haley's best vocal so far. 2. Casey Abrams - Your Song 3. James Durbin - Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting - It's probably the most fun James performance so far imo. 4. Pia Toscano - Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me - As cliched as the song choice was for Pia, she did sing it well tbf, which is like gold dust in this series. ![]() 5. Paul McDonald - Rocket Man - His weird performances are interesting to watch. ![]() 6. Lauren Alaina - Candle In The Wind 7. Jacob Lusk - Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word - I feel like the song didn't really suit him imo. 8. Stefano Langone - Tiny Dancer - It was still terrible, but he did improve a little bit, which I like to acknowledge. 9. Naima Adedapo - I'm Still Standing - ![]() 10. Scotty McCreery - Country Comfort - He'll show his talent at some point, surely! ![]() 11. Thia Megia - Daniel - Her performances were consistently dull imo. Live Show 5 - Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame 1. James Durbin - While My Guitar Gently Weeps 2. Casey Abrams - Have You Ever Seen The Rain? 3. Haley Reinhart - Piece Of My Heart 4. Lauren Alaina - You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman - She sung it well tbf, but it was nowhere near as riveting to watch as my top 3 for me. 5. Jacob Lusk - Man In The Mirror 6. Pia Toscano - River Deep Mountain High - Definitely not Pia's best performance. 7. Paul McDonald - Folsom Prison Blues - I like Paul, but it's definitely starting to get noticeable that he is really starting to fall behind most of the competition talent wise. 8. Scotty McCreery - That's All Right - I honestly don't understand the support for Scotty on the Show where I'm currently at with the Show. He has a really weak vocal imo, nearly every male singer left in the competition can sing better than him in my view. 9. Stefano Langone - When A Man Loves A Woman - One of the few male singers in the competition that's admittedly weaker vocally than Scotty imo. ![]() Live Show 6 - Movie Soundtracks 1. James Durbin - Heavy Metal 2. Haley Reinhart - Call Me 3. Casey Abrams - Nature Boy 4. Jacob Lusk - Bridge Over Troubled Water 5. Lauren Alaina - The Climb - I really don't think that the song choice suited Lauren very well imo. She struggled to hit some of the notes I thought. 6. Scotty McCreery - I Cross My Heart 7. Paul McDonald - Old Time Rock And Roll 8. Stefano Langone - End Of The Road - What the flipping heck! ![]() Live Show 7 - Music From The 21st Century 1. Casey Abrams - Harder To Breathe - I'll controversially say that I think he did a better version than Maroon 5, I really enjoyed the performance personally, and the grunts definitely add character to his performance. ![]() 2. James Durbin - Uprising - A very strong second favourite on the night for me, he weren't as good as Matt Bellamy imo, but he came closer than I expected him to. It was definitely a very strong effort from James. 3. Haley Reinhart - Rolling In The Deep - The gorgeous Haley Reinhart. I would say along with Casey and James, all three of them are making great cases as to why they should win the Season imo, it should be absolutely criminal that someone with Haley's vocal has been in the bottom three FOUR times! When there has been some shocking performances by some contestants this series. 4. Jacob Lusk - Dance With My Father 5. Lauren Alaina - Born To Fly 6. Stefano Langone - Closer - Definitely my favourite Stefano performance, it actually was an okay performance, I feel like this would probably be the kind of Music that Stefano would sing in the charts, rather than some of the more bizarre numbers that have been given to him throughout the Season. 7. Scotty McCreery - Swingin - Going into the top six, I would honestly say that I believe him to be the weakest vocalist left in the competition, it's really bizarre how he is getting so many votes. What the absolute **** was going on with the public during this Season? ![]() Live Show 8 - Carole King 1. Haley Reinhart - Beautiful 2. James Durbin - Will You Love Me Tomorrow 3. Lauren Alaina - Where You Lead 4. Scotty McCreery - You've Got A Friend - I can only say the same thing so many times lol. 5. Casey Abrams - That Old Sweet Roll (Hi-De-Ho) - Tbf to Casey, the song choice was terrible. I don't think that anybody could make this song impressive to listen to. 6. Jacob Lusk - Oh No Not My Baby - ![]() Live Show 9 - Round 1 1. Lauren Alaina - Flat On The Floor - My favourite Lauren performance so far. It was fun to listen to. 2. Scotty McCreery - Gone - Definitely Scotty's best performance by a country mile (pun intended.) 3. Haley Reinhart - You And I 4. Jacob Lusk - No Air - ![]() 5. James Durbin - Closer To The Edge - Did James catch Alex and Caleb's Bronchitis from Series 13? ![]() Live Show 9 - Round 2 1. Haley Reinhart - The House Of The Rising Sun - ![]() 2. James Durbin - Without You 3. Scotty McCreery - Always On My Mind - He has a weak vocal imo. 4. Lauren Alaina - Unchained Melody - This song should never have been given to Lauren, it felt awkward watching her trying to sing it. 5. Jacob Lusk - Love Hurts - I don't know what's happened to Jacob, but his last three performances have been really poor imo. Live Show 10 - Round 1 1. James Durbin - Don't Stop Believin 2. Haley Reinhart - Earth Song 3. Lauren Alaina - Anyway 4. Scotty McCreery - Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning) Live Show 10 - Round 2 1. James Durbin - Love Potion No. 9 2. Haley Reinhart - I (Who Have Nothing) 3. Scotty McCreery - Young Blood - A fun Scotty performance in fairness. 4. Lauren Alaina - Trouble Live Show 11 - Round 1 1. Haley Reinhart - What Is And What Should Never Be - The fall is meme-worthy. ![]() 2. Scotty McCreery - Amazed 3. Lauren Alaina - Wild One - I can't even remember the performance that well. Live Show 11 - Round 2 1. Haley Reinhart - Rhiannon - Again easily ahead imo. 2. Lauren Alaina - If I Die Young 3. Scotty McCreery - Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not Live Show 11 - Round 3 1. Haley Reinhart - You Oughta Know - Again, way better than the other two on the night imo. 2. Lauren Alaina - I Hope You Dance 3. Scotty McCreery - She Believes In Me

Before I say my opinion of the top 16 performances, I just want to say that whilst I know that somebody quit the Show for wearing KKK attire (thanks to my Brother giving me the information) I don't want to be spoiled on who it is because it will negatively affect my view of said Contestant, and I do like to try to judge everybody as fair as Humanly possible.
And if it was one of the teen contestants, then I will have a bit of sympathy for them, because we all have said and done stupid things when we're in our teens, so I would personally support them being given a second chance not just in the Music industry, but in society too, because from my perspective it could be the 15 year old (at the time of the Show) Ava who this has happened to, and I don't support and never will support 15 year olds being persecuted for the rest of their lives. Obviously if it's an adult, then you're asking for trouble, and I do have less sympathy in that scenario as you should already know better. Anyway KKK stuff aside (which I never thought that I'd be saying) here's my rankings of the two play-off legs. Play-Offs - Round 1 1. Cassandra Coleman - Wicked Game 2. Chayce Beckham - Waiting In Vain 3. Caleb Kennedy - Midnight Train To Memphis 4. Ava August - 2002 5. Grace Kinstler - Elastic Heart 6. Alyssa Wray - Killing Me Softly With His Song 7. Alanis Sophia - The Story 8. Willie Spence - Set Fire To The Rain 9. Wyatt Pike - Use Somebody 10. Hunter Metts - Skinny Love 11. Casey Bishop - Black Hole Sun 12. Beane - Searching For A Feeling 13. Graham DeFranco - That's Life 14. Madison Watkins - Gravity 15. Colin Jamieson - Everybody Wants To Rule The World 16. Deshawn Goncalves - Feeling Good Play-Offs - Round 2 1. Casey Bishop - The House Of The Rising Sun 2. Caleb Kennedy - Nowhere 3. Ava August - Love Of My Life 4. Willie Spence - Diamonds 5. Chayce Beckham - What Brings Life Also Kills 6. Grace Kinstler - Dangerous Woman 7. Cassandra Coleman - Light On 8. Alanis Sophia - Heart Attack 9. Hunter Metts - I Can't Make You Love Me 10. Colin Jamieson - Waves 11. Beane - Grow As We Go 12. Madison Watkins - Hotline Bling 13. Alyssa Wray - The Greatest Love Of All 14. Graham DeFranco - Cover Me Up 15. Deshawn Goncalves - Higher Ground Overall the line-up I think has potential to be better than Seasons 10 & 11 imo, hopefully that will be the case. Live Show 1 - Oscar-Nominated Songs 1. Hunter Metts - Falling Slowly 2. Chayce Beckham - (Everything I Do) I Do It For You 3. Willie Spence - Stand Up 4. Ava August - City Of Stars - I thought that she did well personally. 5. Caleb Kennedy - On The Road Again 6. Alyssa Wray - This Is Me 7. Deshawn Goncalves - The Way We Were 8. Casey Bishop - Over The Rainbow 9. Grace Kinstler - Happy 10. Madison Watkins - Run To You 11. Cassandra Coleman - Writing's On The Wall 12. Beane - (I've Had) The Time Of My Life - ![]() Live Show 2 - Disney 1. Caleb Kennedy - Real Gone - I really enjoyed the performance, a great way for the Show to be opened up imo. 2. Grace Kinstler - Into The Unknown 3. Hunter Metts - You'll Be In My Heart 4. Arthur Gunn - Remember Me - Not a bad debut into the season. 5. Willie Spence - Circle Of Life 6. Cassandra Coleman - Go The Distance 7. Casey Bishop - When She Loved Me 8. Deshawn Goncalves - When You Wish Upon A Star 9. Chayce Beckham - Baby Mine - Good vocal, but wtf at the song! It nearly put me to sleep. ![]() 10. Alyssa Wray - A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes - Again, **** me at the song. Live Show 3 - Coldplay 1. Willie Spence - Yellow 2. Hunter Metts - Everglow 3. Caleb Kennedy - Violet Hill 4. Chayce Beckham - Magic 5. Grace Kinstler - Fix You 6. Arthur Gunn - In My Place 7. Casey Bishop - Paradise Live Show 3 - Mother's Day 1. Casey Bishop - Ironic 2. Hunter Metts - The River 3. Chayce Beckham - Mama 4. Caleb Kennedy - Mama Said 5. Arthur Gunn - Simple Man 6. Grace Kinstler - When We Were Young 7. Willie Spence - You Are So Beautiful And after having the context of the situation, I do think that Caleb's removal is extremely harsh, and I'm not just saying that because I liked his performances, I think it's harsh to remove someone because they were in a photo with their friend (who was the one wearing the KKK outfit, not Caleb) and apparently it was a reenactment of a Film, would I personally choose to dress up in a KKK outfit? No, but should Caleb be removed because he was friends with someone that did wear a KKK costume? Controversially I am going to say no. I honestly hope that the Music industry hasn't permanently shut the doors to Caleb because of this incident, I mean even if you don't like what him and his friend were doing, there should be a door for both of them to have a second chance to achieve their dreams, especially given that they're both still quite young. And I have read more on how Caleb's life is currently going, I think that it's honestly tragic to see, hopefully he'll turn his life back around from where it's currently headed, because he seemed like a decent guy on American Idol before his life got ruined, and he has talent imo. But if he has murdered someone, then obviously he'll have to face the consequences imo. And RIP to Willie Spence, as I found out a few hours ago that he had died in a car crash in 2022, again a tragic incident, and I hope that his family are doing well. Live Show 4 - Round 1 1. Willie Spence - Glory 2. Chayce Beckham - Colder Weather 3. Grace Kinstler - A Moment Like This 4. Casey Bishop - Wish You Were Gay Live Show 4 - Round 2 1. Casey Bishop - Love Me, Leave Me 2. Willie Spence - Never Be Alone 3. Chayce Beckham - 23 4. Grace Kinstler - Love Someone Live Show 4 - Round 3 1. Casey Bishop - Live Wire 2. Willie Spence - I Was Here 3. Chayce Beckham - You Should Probably Leave - It was quite a catchy number imo. 4. Grace Kinstler - Father It was a strong top 4 night imo. Live Show 5 - Round 1 1. Grace Kinstler - All By Myself 2. Willie Spence - Georgia On My Mind 3. Chayce Beckham - Blackbird Live Show 5 - Round 2 1. Chayce Beckham - Fire Away 2. Grace Kinstler - I Have Nothing 3. Willie Spence - A Change Is Gonna Come Definitely my least favourite night of the Season.

I've watched the first three Live Shows of the most recent season of American Idol.
I was a bit hesitant after the first Live Show (after all 90% of the contestants couldn't be bothered to follow the theme lol) but after the second and third Live Shows, I am starting to really like the Season, and I've really taken to two of the contestants in the lineup. One of the contestants though grew on me in the second and third Live Shows. Here's my rankings. Live Show 1 - Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame 1. Jack Blocker - Don't Think Twice, It's All Right 2. Kaibrienne - I Hate Myself For Loving You 3. Abi Carter - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road 4. Emmy Russell - I Can't Make You Love Me 5. Mia Matthews - Those Memories Of You 6. Roman Collins - You're All I Need To Get By 7. McKenna Faith Breinholt - Hard To Say I'm Sorry 8. Will Moseley - Night Moves 9. Triston Harper - Heartbreak Hotel 10. KAYKO - High And Dry 11. Jayna Elise - I Have Nothing 12. Julia Gagnon - Run To You 13. Nya - I Say A Little Prayer 14. Jordan Anthony - I Wanna Dance With Somebody ![]() Live Show 2 - Billboard #1 Hits 1.

Will Moseley - Gimme Three Steps 4. Triston Harper - T-R-O-U-B-L-E 5. Emmy Russell - Shut Up And Dance 6. Julia Gagnon - Roam 7. McKenna Faith Breinholt - E.T - She might be talented in her usual style, and she might be hot (like a few of the women are in this series tbh,) but I can't pretend, this was a terrible performance, that imo was only given to her just to promote Katy Perry's Music. A similar thing happened to Roman when he was told to sing Roar. Live Show 5 Round 2 - Adele 1. Will Moseley - Rolling In The Deep 2. McKenna Faith Breinholt - Make You Feel My Love 3. Julia Gagnon - Set Fire To The Rain 4. Abi Carter - Hello 5. Emmy Russell - Water Under The Bridge 6. Triston Harper - Easy On Me 7. Jack Blocker - One And Only Live Show 6 Round 1 - Disney 1.

Triston Harper - Almost There Live Show 6 Round 2 - Disney 1. Jack Blocker - Space Oddity 2. Will Moseley - Born To Be Wild 3. Abi Carter - The Chain 4. Emmy Russell - Carried Me With You 5. Triston Harper - Life Is A Highway Live Show 7 - Round 1 1. Will Moseley - It's My Life 2. Abi Carter - Bed Of Roses 3. Jack Blocker - I'll Be There For You - It's a shame that Jack never got the chance to sing Broken by Jake Bugg. Live Show 7 - Round 2 1. Will Moseley - My Town 2. Abi Carter - Somewhere 3. Jack Blocker - All My Ex's Live In Texas

I have got to say in Season 22 though, Abi has got to easily be the most favoured contestant of the series from production.
She gets big/more interesting song choices like Bring Me To Life, Clocks, and the Fall Out Boy song, and a lot of last on's, while the other contestants felt like that they were fighting for scraps in both song choices and the time slots. Tbf to Abi, nothing will beat the favouritism that Caleb and Jena received in Season 13 (I liked both contestants, but they were heavily favoured imo.) And Abi does have talent tbf.

I'm using a mix of YouTube, Dailymotion, and various Piracy sites, depending on the Season.

I've done the first two Live Shows so far.
Some of the talent has been decent, others not so much (so far anyway) but the themes in the first two Live Shows could've been better picks for my personal taste. Here's my rankings so far. Live Show 1 - Stevie Wonder 1. Kellie Pickler - Blame It On The Sun 2. Katharine McPhee - Until You Come Back To Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do) 3. Paris Bennett - All I Do 4. Chris Daughtry - Higher Ground 5. Bucky Covington - Superstition 6. Taylor Hicks - Living For The City 7. Lisa Tucker - Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours 8. Elliott Yamin - Knocks Me Off My Feet 9. Mandisa - Don't You Worry Bout A Thing 10. Ace Young - Do I Do ![]() 11. Melissa McGhee - Lately ![]() 12. Kevin Covais - Part-Time Lover ![]() Live Show 2 - Music From The 1950's 1. Chris Daughtry - I Walk The Line 2. Kellie Pickler - Walkin After Midnight 3. Katharine McPhee - Come Rain Or Come Shine 4. Mandisa - I Don't Hurt Anymore 5. Lisa Tucker - Why Do Fools Fall In Love? 6. Paris Bennett - Fever - I would've put it higher in terms of vocal and overall performance, but the Show had a weird Paedo kind of vibe going with the song choice I feel, so it did nuke my enjoyment of the performance slightly. 7. Taylor Hicks - Not Fade Away 8. Ace Young - In The Still Of The Night 9. Bucky Covington - Oh, Boy! 10. Kevin Covais - When I Fall In Love 11. Elliott Yamin - Teach Me Tonight - I completely forgot that he had even performed, so for me that has to be my worst performance on the night. Live Show 3 - Music From The 2000's 1. Chris Daughtry - What If 2. Mandisa - Shackles (Praise You) 3. Elliott Yamin - I Don't Want To Be 4. Paris Bennett - Work It Out 5. Ace Young - Drops Of Jupiter 6. Bucky Covington - Real Good Man 7. Kellie Pickler - Suds In The Bucket 8. Lisa Tucker - Because Of You 9. Taylor Hicks - Trouble 10. Katharine McPhee - The Voice Within ![]() Live Show 4 - Country 1. Bucky Covington - Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning) 2. Kellie Pickler - Fancy 3. Mandisa - Any Man Of Mine 4. Ace Young - Tonight I Wanna Cry 5. Katharine McPhee - Bringing Out The Elvis In Me 6. Chris Daughtry - Making Memories Of Us 7. Paris Bennett - How Do I Live 8. Elliott Yamin - If Tomorrow Never Comes 9. Taylor Hicks - Take Me Home, Country Roads Live Show 5 - Queen 1. Kellie Pickler - Bohemian Rhapsody 2. Chris Daughtry - Innuendo 3. Paris Bennett - The Show Must Go On 4. Ace Young - We Will Rock You 5. Taylor Hicks - Crazy Little Thing Called Love 6. Elliott Yamin - Somebody To Love 7. Bucky Covington - Fat Bottomed Girls 8. Katharine McPhee - Who Wants To Live Forever Live Show 6 - Great American Songbook 1. Katharine McPhee - Someone To Watch Over Me 2. Kellie Pickler - Bewitched, Bothered And Bewildered 3. Elliott Yamin - It Had To Be You 4. Paris Bennett - These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You) 5. Ace Young - That's All 6. Chris Daughtry - What A Wonderful World 7. Taylor Hicks - You Send Me - How the heck has he not hit the bottom three yet? ![]() Live Show 7 - Love Songs 1. Chris Daughtry - Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman? 2. Katharine McPhee - I Have Nothing - I disagree with Simon, it was a rare Talent Show version of this song that didn't sound shrill on my ears. It was a good version imo. 3. Elliott Yamin - A Song For You 4. Paris Bennett - The Way We Were 5. Kellie Pickler - Unchained Melody - Definitely not Kellie's best imo. 6. Taylor Hicks - Just Once - What the hell is going on here lol? He has been the weakest vocalist from week 3 onwards, and he is going through, it's getting really noticeably bad now that I'm about to watch the top 5 rounds. I'm not saying that he is the worst every round for my taste, but he is clearly a weaker vocalist than most of the line-up, it's like watching Kris Allen or Scotty McCreery all over again. Live Show 8 - Round 1 1. Chris Daughtry - Renegade 2. Paris Bennett - Kiss 3. Katharine McPhee - Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now) 4. Taylor Hicks - Play That Funky Music - He is going to win isn't he? ![]() 5. Elliott Yamin - On Broadway ![]() Live Show 8 - Round 2 1. Chris Daughtry - I Dare You 2. Katharine McPhee - Black Horse And The Cherry Tree 3. Paris Bennett - Be Without You 4. Taylor Hicks - Something ![]() 5. Elliott Yamin - Home - Elliott singing Michael Buble is not a fair combination imo. Live Show 9 - Round 1 1. Chris Daughtry - Suspicious Minds 2. Katharine McPhee - Hound Dog/All Shook Up 3. Taylor Hicks - Jailhouse Rock 4. Elliott Yamin - If I Can Dream - He was getting really scary to watch as the numbers were getting lower, and every contestant has to sing two songs. Live Show 9 - Round 2 1. Chris Daughtry - A Little Less Conversation 2. Taylor Hicks - In The Ghetto - Wow! He has somehow made the top 4. 3. Katharine McPhee - Can't Help Falling In Love - Definitely some horrible over-singing imo. 4. Elliott Yamin - Trouble - **** me! This is becoming torture watching Elliott's performances. Live Show 10 - Round 1 ![]() ![]() 1. Taylor Hicks - Dancing In The Dark 2. Elliott Yamin - Open Arms 3. Katharine McPhee - I Believe I Can Fly - I think that Katharine needed an exorcism after that performance. ![]() Live Show 10 - Round 2 1. Katharine McPhee - Over The Rainbow - A really good performance imo, my favourite performance from the top 3 round. 2. Elliott Yamin - What You Won't Do For Love - Elliott is trying to aim to be the dullest American Idol contestant of all time imo. 3. Taylor Hicks - You Are So Beautiful - What was wrong with his vocal for the first half of the performance? ![]() Live Show 10 - Round 3 1. Katharine McPhee - I Ain't Got Nothing But The Blues 2. Taylor Hicks - Try A Little Tenderness ![]() 3. Elliott Yamin - I Believe To My Soul - Wtf!? Why so difficult, Elliott? ![]() ![]() Overall it was a good year with some really good performances, but the themes were a mixed bag for me, and the voting whilst exciting in terms of unpredictability, it did unfortunately leave a final three where there was only one contestant that was actually really good imo. Spoiler:

I'm watching the Season on YouTube.
I've done the first 6 Live Shows so far, there has been a few really strong performances tbh, and the voting is insane, I'm loving it. ![]()

I've watched the first two Live Shows of Season 15 of American Idol.
The talent is definitely the weakest of the seasons that I have watched so far, I would say that there's two good singers in the line-up, but none of them are really grabbing me, which is highly unusual for American Idol in the other Seasons that I have watched. Anyway here's my rankings. Live Show 1 - Songs From 2002-Present: 1. MacKenzie Bourg - I See Fire 2. Tristan McIntosh - Nothin Like You 3. Olivia Rox - Unconditionally - I personally don't get her elimination, she could actually hold a note lol. 4. La'Porsha Renae - Diamonds 5. Lee Jean - Skinny Love 6. Dalton Rapattoni - Hey There Delilah 7. Avalon Young - Stitches 8. Sonika Vaid - Bring Me To Life ![]() 9. Trent Harmon - Like I Can - Just being brutally honest, his vocal annoys me. ![]() 10. Gianna Isabella - Listen - I will refrain from being too harsh on what was a kid contestant at the time, but I do think that the song was too big for her. Live Show 2 - Grammy Hits: 1. Tristan McIntosh - Go Rest High On That Mountain 2. MacKenzie Bourg - I Wanna Dance With Somebody 3. La'Porsha Renae - Halo 4. Lee Jean - Use Somebody - Tbh it gets really tight for me, once you go away from my personal top 3 on the night. 5. Dalton Rapattoni - Radioactive - The Music drowned him out at points. 6. Avalon Young - Earned It - Her VT was feisty. ![]() 7. Sonika Vaid - Since U Been Gone - She performs in a Zombie-like manner for my taste. 8. Trent Harmon - When A Man Loves A Woman - I just really don't like his voice. Live Show 3 - Popular Songs Of All Time: 1. MacKenzie Bourg - You Are So Beautiful 2. La'Porsha Renae - Come Together 3. Sonika Vaid - I Have Nothing 4. Dalton Rapattoni - Eleanor Rigby - A great arrangement, but Dalton's vocal is really poor imo, I don't say it to be nasty it's just how I see it. 5. Trent Harmon - Stand By Me 6. Tristan McIntosh - A Broken Wing - Definitely Tristan's weakest performance. Live Show 4 - Round 1: 1. MacKenzie Bourg - Wild World 2. La'Porsha Renae - Ready For Love 3. Trent Harmon - Counting Stars 4. Sonika Vaid - Let It Go 5. Dalton Rapattoni - Numb - That was an absolute butchery. Live Show 4 - Round 2: 1. La'Porssha Renae - No More Drama 2. MacKenzie Bourg - Billie Jean 3. Trent Harmon - Simple Man 4. Dalton Rapattoni - The Sound Of Silence 5. Sonika Vaid - Clarity Live Show 5 - Round 1: 1. La'Porsha Renae - Wanted Dead Or Alive 2. MacKenzie Bourg - I Want You To Want Me 3. Trent Harmon - Sharp Dressed Man 4. Dalton Rapattoni - God Only Knows Live Show 5 - Round 2: 1. Dalton Rapattoni - Bird Set Free - A very clever song choice, given his journey on the Show. 2. Trent Harmon - Chandelier - Easily Trent's best performance by a mile. 3. La'Porsha Renae - Elastic Heart 4. MacKenzie Bourg - Titanium Live Show 6 - Round 1: 1. La'Porsha Renae - Glory 2. Dalton Rapattoni - Calling You 3. Trent Harmon - Tennessee Whiskey Live Show 6 - Round 2: 1. La'Porsha Renae - Stay With Me 2. Dalton Rapattoni - Dancing In The Dark 3. Trent Harmon - Drink You Away ![]() Live Show 6 - Round 3: 1. La'Porsha Renae - Hello 2. Dalton Rapattoni - Everybody Wants To Rule The World 3. Trent Harmon - Waiting Game Overall I would say that I think that this Season of American Idol has been my least favourite out of the ones that I have watched so far, the talent pool was weak in general, and I knew that the public and myself were at odds with each other when Olivia Rox was in the bottom three in the first week. ![]()

I've watched the first three Live Shows of Season 7 of American Idol.
For the most part I think that the talent is a lot higher than the previous Season that I just watched, although two Beatles themed nights was bizarre imo. My rankings. Live Show 1 - Lennon-McCartney: 1. David Cook - Eleanor Rigby 2. Michael Johns - Across The Universe 3. Chikezie - She's A Woman 4. Brooke White - Let It Be 5. Amanda Overmyer - You Can't Do That 6. Carly Smithson - Come Together 7. Jason Castro - If I Fell 8. Syesha Mercado - Got To Get You Into My Life 9. Ramiele Malubay - In My Life 10. Kristy Lee Cook - Eight Days A Week 11. David Archuleta - We Can Work It Out ![]() 12. David Hernandez - I Saw Her Standing There ![]() Live Show 2 - The Beatles: 1. Michael Johns - A Day In The Life 2. David Cook - Day Tripper 3. Brooke White - Here Comes The Sun 4. Carly Smithson - Blackbird 5. Syesha Mercado - Yesterday 6. Kristy Lee Cook - You've Got To Hide Your Love Away 7. Chikezie - I've Just Seen A Face 8. David Archuleta - The Long And Winding Road 9. Amanda Overmyer - Back In The U.S.S.R 10. Ramiele Malubay - I Should Have Known Better 11. Jason Castro - Michelle - It was a really dull performance imo. Live Show 3 - Contestants Birth Year: 1. David Cook - Billie Jean 2. Carly Smithson - Total Eclipse Of The Heart 3. Michael Johns - We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions 4. Brooke White - Every Breath You Take 5. Kristy Lee Cook - God Bless The USA 6. Chikezie - If Only For One Night 7. Syesha Mercado - If I Were Your Woman 8. Ramiele Malubay - Alone 9. David Archuleta - You're The Voice 10. Jason Castro - Fragile Live Show 4 - Dolly Parton: 1. David Cook - Little Sparrow 2. Brooke White - Jolene - I'm kind of shocked that the public put her in the bottom three tbh. 3. Carly Smithson - Here You Come Again 4. Michael Johns - It's All Wrong, But It's All Right - Strong vocal, but awful song or arrangement. 5. Kristy Lee Cook - Coat Of Many Colors 6. Syesha Mercado - I Will Always Love You 7. Jason Castro - Travelin Thru 8. David Archuleta - Smoky Mountain Memories 9. Ramiele Malubay - Do I Ever Cross Your Mind Live Show 5 - Inspirational Music: 1. Carly Smithson - The Show Must Go On - I thought that she did really well with it personally, I honestly don't get the American Idol public sometimes. ![]() 2. Kristy Lee Cook - Anyway 3. Michael Johns - Dream On - He did really well again, wtf American Idol public of that time? ![]() ![]() 4. Brooke White - You've Got A Friend 5. David Archuleta - Angels 6. Syesha Mercado - I Believe 7. David Cook - Innocent - Not his best imo. 8. Jason Castro - Over The Rainbow - He is clearly the weakest vocalist out of this top 8, it's honestly crazy how he went through. Live Show 6 - Mariah Carey: 1. David Cook - Always Be My Baby - Brilliant take on the song imo, I personally say that it's better than the original. 2. Brooke White - Hero - Again a strong version of the song, she didn't try to clone Mariah Carey's version which is a good thing imo. 3. Carly Smithson - Without You 4. David Archuleta - When You Believe 5. Kristy Lee Cook - Forever 6. Syesha Mercado - Vanishing 7. Jason Castro - I Don't Wanna Cry Live Show 7 - Andrew Lloyd Webber: 1. Carly Smithson - Superstar - Honestly the voting in this series is awful. ![]() 2. Brooke White - You Must Love Me 3. David Cook - The Music Of The Night - Tbh I didn't really love this performance from David Cook, but it was still better than what the other three did imo. 4. Syesha Mercado - One Rock & Roll Too Many 5. David Archuleta - Think Of Me - David Archuleta and Jason are pushing me like Taylor and Elliot were doing in Season 5. ![]() 6. Jason Castro - Memory - Come on! How is he getting votes at this point. ![]() Live Show 8 Round 1 - Neil Diamond ![]() 1. David Cook - I'm Alive 2. Syesha Mercado - Hello Again 3. David Archuleta - Sweet Caroline - Take your pick between Archuleta and Brooke in this round. 4. Brooke White - I'm A Believer 5. Jason Castro - Forever In Blue Jeans ![]() Live Show 8 Round 2 - Neil Diamond... Again ![]() 1. David Cook - All I Really Need Is You 2. Syesha Mercado - Thank The Lord For The Night Time 3. Brooke White - I Am...I Said 4. David Archuleta - America 5. Jason Castro - September Morn ![]() Live Show 9 Round 1: 1. David Cook - Hungry Like The Wolf 2. Syesha Mercado - Proud Mary 3. David Archuleta - Stand By Me 4. Jason Castro - I Shot The Sheriff - I'm being serious when I say that this might be Jason's worst performance. Live Show 9 Round 2: 1. David Cook - Baba O'Riley 2. Jason Castro - Mr. Tambourine Man - Definitely his best vocal at the lives imo. 3. Syesha Mercado - A Change Is Gonna Come 4. David Archuleta - Love Me Tender Live Show 10 Round 1: 1. David Cook - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - It starts getting boring keep saying that David Cook was the best imo. ![]() 2. Syesha Mercado - If I Ain't Got You 3. David Archuleta - And So It Goes Live Show 10 Round 2: 1. David Cook - Dare You To Move - Away from really liking Cook's vocal, I really liked the song too, which isn't always the case with songs that I've never listened to before on American Idol. 2. Syesha Mercado - Fever - I'm a fan of this performance. 3. David Archuleta - With You - I'll complement Archuleta and say that he comes across as too nice to be performing Chris Brown songs. Live Show 10 Round 3: 1. David Cook - I Don't Want To Miss A Thing 2. Syesha Mercado - Hit Me Up - I liked the performance personally, it felt like a song that Syesha would actually release. 3. David Archuleta - Longer This series definitely started off better than it's finishing imo. The biggest issue is the public voting out most of David Cook's rivals in the talent department, it's just made my opinions on the nights be mostly stagnant. And I just want to add as I've only just found out about it. RIP to Michael Johns.
