Kady did

JenO | 27 February, 2008 21:31 | (152)

I am banking on Kady Malloy in our "American Idol" pool at work. She was my first draft, followed closely by Brooke White, O she of the Rated-R-less life.

I thought Brooke did a great job with Carly Simon's "You're So Vain," and relieves the pressure a bit that my third choice, Jason Yeager (aka Skunk Boy) is almost certainly going home.

I should point out I had the second-to-last pick in the pool.

I am not sure Kady's song choice was that good, and I wish she brought the same personality she shows in her video interviews to the stage, but I am hoping America will vote for her so I can last a little longer in the pool. It's more fun, I think, the longer you stay in, and last year my last-standing pick was the curly-haired guy who sang "Trouble."

See? I can't even remember his name.

I missed the men's turn last night, so I really have no idea who will get the boot tomorrow. But I am curious - do you pick a favorite by vocal ability alone or personality? I can forgive vocal missteps galore if I think a singer shows some personality. And Kady's eyeroll when she imagined Simon's reaction to the news she sang opera was a little bit awesome.

Not as awesome as Alaina's my-food-can't-touch-each-other rule, but not too shabby.

Share and enjoy.

oh no she DI'IN'T!!! [Reply]

sorry, dear, kady was baaaaad. that song was way too low for her vocal range. and her nose bugs me. yeah. i'm that shallow.

i wasn't enthralled with any of the girls tonight. the bride of frankenstein (re: her hair) scared the crap outta me with her assault of the kansas song. and what is she, like, fifty?

i did like "me and mr. jones," despite what the judges said. and that girl is cute as a button. i liked the carly simon, too. the linda rondstadt "you're no good" is a fave song of mine, but that girl's stance was bizarre: she was in a bouncing demi-plie for the whole thing! odd-looking. but good hair.

who else... oh! the first girl!!! carly smithson, or whatever. she was the best tonight, i think.

yeah. i loves talkin' me some Idol. hope i don't bug ya!

and on a Simon note... [Reply]

i WILL be the token office Simon for this, probably, but...

as to your question about vocal ability alone vs. personality, and being willing to forgive vocal missteps for personality:

[cue British accent] this is NOT a personality contest. this is a SINGING contest. voting for 'personality' gets you SANJAYA!

kisses!

I know [Reply]

No, I know she was bad, but I am hoping her personality will save her because she absolutely CAN sing. I think Carly is the best female, but Marty beat me to her. >Sigh< I always end up picking last or near-last.
