Country Girls Night Out

Martina McBride headed up tonight’s final seven competition by mentoring the “All Girls Club” on American Idol. After last weeks elimination of the final male of the competition, the hard rocking man of Faith, Sean Michel, Idol’s precedent setting first all female final seven verified that the public, the judges, and the producers of the show finally got it right. After the usual Seacrest intro’s the night’s performances began.

Shyamali Malakar

Proving once again that she really is the one true talent of the Malakar family, Shya took on a song from former Idol winner Carrie Underwood, “Before He Cheats. Though she looked incredible in he red leather pants with jeweled low cut blouse, Shya’s performance, though good, seemed uninspired and robotic. The judges gave her a lukewarm critique with Simon saying that she seemed out of her comfort zone, but quickly adding that “she was definitely using her two biggest assets to her advantage.”

Oh Canada!!

Up next is Canadian Jory Steinberg doing Shania’s “Feel like a Woman.” The rich deep notes that this girl delivers are clear, and moving. She has fun with her performance and the judges concur. She seems likely to advance to the final six.

Cheese Heads are Girl’s Too!

Eau Claire’ Wisconsin’s favorite daughter, Sarah Krueger is next with her serviceable rendition of Patsy Cline’s “I Fall to Pieces.” Dressed in a period dress of blue calico, Sarah seems stiff and old appearing. This is seconded by the judges in their reviews. Sarah is told that she was unremarkable and forgettable.
Bottom Three

“Oh Dani Girl”

Watching Dani McCullough belt out Gretchen Wilson’s “Redneck Woman” in her sexy white silk cowgirl outfit made me forget the vocals. Like many Idol wannabee’s before her, she flaunted her physical attributes to compensate for her vocal shortcomings. It worked. Though I seem to remember that there was some sort of audio coming from the speakers of my television, all I can remember are the visuals. Oh Yesssss
Sex sells, SAFE!

Rough Girls are Hot

This competition’s wildcard is Porcelana Patino. She came out tonight with the appearance of a circa 1970’s Janis Joplin. Performing Reba McEntire’s ballad of a girl turned out into the world of prostitution, “Fancy.” I will give her this; she looked the part….WOW! Dressed in a black leather miniskirt with six inch stiletto heels and a low-cut halter top, Porcelana convinced me with her guttural, erotic performance. The judges were mixed in their responses to her. Randy liked it, Paula didn’t get it, Simon….He needed a towel……..To many women will hate her.
Bottom Three

Rachel Zevita

This girl is the one contestant who over this season, has been the hardest to define. Her operatic, Bjork-like persona is keeping her alive in this competition with her quirky song renditions. Tonight she performed Faith Hill’s “Breathe.” It was surprisingly good. She kept the vibrato in her voice to a minimum while performing. She also took a huge gamble by performing accapella. It was amazing. This was the WOW moment of this season.
She just may be the upset surprise of season 6.

“Don’t You Go Home Ba… Baylie, Don’t You Go Home”

Performing Host Mentor Martina McBride’s “Broken Wing” Baylie Brown forgot the advice that McBride gave her to sing from the heart. Brown decided to up tempo the tune with unsatisfactory results. The judges were tepid and reserved with their commentaries. All agreeing that her physical appearance was amazing. She has the look of a pop princess.

Her looks will get her to next week.

In my Dimension, these are tonight’s show performances….
