American Idol is back again for its final week of eliminations before we find out who our top 12 will be. Last week Brenna Gethers and Heather Cox got the chop and this week everyone knows that this is the last chance they get to impress. It would absolutely suck to come this close to the Top 12 only be voted out. Oh well.. it's going to happen to some one. Who that is though is entirely up to you.

First up tonight is:

Paris Bennett
Song choice: Conga
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5701
TXT Vote to 5701
My Thoughts: This wouldn't be my first choice in song for Paris. It was ok but not outstanding like she has been other weeks
Randy: I'm always curious to see what you're gonna sing but that wasn't my favourite. I hope to see you do a good ballad net week.
Paula: I enjoy you doing upbeat stuff. You're very talented but it's a very difficult song to sing.
Simon: Vocally it was ok but people love you so we'll see you next week.

Lisa Tucker
Song choice: Where I Stand
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5702
TXT Vote to 5702
My Thoughts: I would love to see Lisa perform something that is a bit more upbeat that she can have some fun with. She's good, but she's getting a little boring.
Randy: I liked the song but it was still a little too old for me. It didn't come off great great for me.
Paula: I look at you and see a seasoned performer. I wish you could have sung something we could have all gotten into.
Simon: We think you're super talented but it sounds like you're singing songs that your mother has picked for you.

Melissa McGhee
Song choice: What About Love
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5703
TXT Vote to 5703
My Thoughts: I absolutely love this song and it's a great song for Melissa. Her husky voice is great.
Randy: That song choice was really good for you. Very nice.
Paula: I think you're improving every week. You're a powerhouse.
Simon: I totally disagree. I think that last note booked your plane ticket home. It sounded like you were yelling the whole song.

Kinnik Sky
Song choice: If I Ain't Got You
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5704
TXT Vote to 5704
My Thoughts: Ok. I'm bored straight away with this. Kinnik is sharp and is messing up a great song. Cya Kinnik. I hope you've had fun.
Randy: I love the song. Started out amazing. Got a little sharp and I don't think you nailed it.
Paula: It's the best you've looked but you were off with your pitch and it's the first time.
Simon: You just messed it up. You started off ok but it went all over the place in the middle.

Katharine McPhee
Song choice: Think
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5705
TXT Vote to 5705
My Thoughts: It's nice to see Katharine doing something upbeat. It's going to be great to watch Katharine grow during the top 12 because she's already great.
Randy: We got a hot one here tonight.
Paula: It's nice to see you cut loose tonight. Excellent stuff.
Simon: That was a risk but you pulled it off effortlessly. You're going to sail through.

Ayla Brown
Song choice: Unwritten
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5706
TXT Vote to 5706
My Thoughts: I'm not enjoying Ayla's take on Natasha Bedingfield's song. She is just too wooden.
Randy: I'm a big fan of yours but the song was ok. You need to pick a song that is a singers song.
Paula: You're out there giving your all working your butt off. It's good to hear a contemporary song from a current artist.
Simon: I love you in your film clips. I would love that young person we see in the clips on the stage. It was good but it just wasn't fantastic.

Mandisa Hundley
Song choice: I'm Every Woman
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5707
TXT Vote to 5707
My Thoughts: Wow! Mandisa is hot tonight. I'm loving her more and more. That was fantastic.
Randy: This to me is the best vocal by a female performer so far this season. Girls, that is the benchmark right there.
Paula: That's what we're talking about. The arrangement was awesome. You gave me chills.
Simon: Everyone of these girls hate your guts tonight because you made everyone before you look ordinary. It's the only one I would rewind on my tivo.

Kellie Pickler
Song choice: I'm The Only One
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5708
TXT Vote to 5708
My Thoughts: Kellie is really starting to grow on me. Last week was fantastic and this week she's chosen another great song and is performing better and better each week.
Randy: Every week now you've been really consistent. You did a good job.
Paula: You got your groove on. Guys are in love with you. You're adorable.
Simon: Kellie, you're known as a naughty little minx. I really like you. I don't think you're the best singer but I think I prefer you to last year's winner.

My top 3 this week were Kellie Pickler, Mandisa Hundley and Katharine McPhee

I think that going home this week will be Kinnik Sky and Ayla Brown
