I am officially addicted to American Idol. This week the top twelve contestants took on the earlier half of the Lennon/McCartney songbook. I really love music by the Beatles; their lyrics are really catchy, and their melodies are great, too. I was extremely exciting to tune in this week to see how the singers handled such classic songs. My favorites of the night were as follows:
Carly: Singing "Come Together," she finally made the right song choice! Her voice is pure and beautiful. My only problem with her is her stereotypical pop sound. I am ready for something different.
Brooke: Her music is raw and touching. This rendition of "Let it Be" left me speechless. Although she's mastered the slow, folky ballads, I'm unsure if she can handle an uptempo song with a big band.
Amanda: I know lots of people despise this girl, but she is truly one of my favorites. (Not just because she is from my hometown.) Sometimes I find her a bit spastic and hard to understand, but really this makes her unique.
David Archulata: It's weird to think that even though he forgot the lyrics of "We Can Work it Out" within the first couple minutes, he was still better than the majority of the contestants. His extreme modesty really annoys me, however.
