Mornings with Danny and Laura on 91.5 CKPR

Lodi Nacirema has the rundown on last night's Idol.....


Country week with songs of Shania Twain. I was looking forward to this all
week and the night sure didn't disappoint. She was a great mentor to the
contestants and worked her magic. The standouts for me were Michael, Aaron
and Casey. They really took her suggestions and went with them. The judges
all raved, with the exception of Simon's comment to Big Mike. I still don't
really understand what he meant by his performance being "wet". But, I am
not alone I'm sure.

I didn't quite agree with the judges when it came down to Lee and Siobhan.
Usually, I really like Lee but the start of his song was just weird. It
sounded off. The middle was good and the end okay, but the four judges just
loved it! The only one that kind of mentioned it was off at the start was
Randy. The others thought it was great! Oh well, maybe my ears are plugged.
Whatever. As for Siobhan, her rendition of "Any Man of Mine" was okay. She
changed it a bit and maybe that's whay I wasn't crazy about it. Maybe, I'm
just not that crazy about her. I just wish that she would stop with the big
notes. That is her calling card I guess. Maybe she needs it to impress
people. I just didn't think it fit.

Now down to Crystal. I am nervous. I love the song she sang. It is one of my
favourite Shania songs and I think it fit her style. But, if you listen to
the judges, it was the worst! She was one of the only singers that actually
sang it country on country week! With only 6 singers left and no saves, boy
the people better her back her up and give her the votes. Remember I talked
about an upset last week? Believe you me, I wasn't thinking about Crystal.
If it is, it would be as bad as Chris Daughtry or Constantine. I would be
depressed for sure.

In my opinion, Ellen was right. It is going to be very tough to pick who is
going home. I think they all sang great (or good at least). It may all boil
down to popularity this week and who actually votes and supports their
favourites. Out of the 6, only three have ever been in the bottom 3. Aaaron,
Michael and Casey. The other three have always been safe. But to me, these
three probably sang the best out of all of them. So, let's do a switch. I
will put Lee, Siobhan and Crystal in the bottom with..... Siobhan going
home. (I'm crossing my fingers and my toes!!) Phew! I don't think I will
sleep a wink tonight and I truly hope that I am wrong about the bottom three
or at least two of them. To me, I would prefer Siobhan to go home out of
all of them.

Wednesday night is result night with Rascal Flatts and Lady Antebellum
performing. Oh yeah, Shakira too... on country night? What... no Shania!
What's that all about! I was hoping to hear her sing. Oh well, maybe they
will surprise us. Talk to you tomorrow.
