American Idol 9 Top 12 – The Rolling Stones

Big Stage, Big Night, Big Performance! Ini adalah malam pertama 12 Finalis American Idol 9 tampil secara LIVE di depan para audience. Kira2 gimana penampilan mereka? makin bagus atau makin grogi? Simak yuk reviewnya…
Komentar: RJ (Randy Jackson), ED (Ellen DeGeneres), KD (Kara DioGuardi), SC (SImon Cowell), CD (CreativeDisc), AI (Ai Hasibuan)

1. Michael Lynche – Miss You
RJ: I wasn’t crazy when the arrangement started but you slayed them. Way to start the show.
ED: What’s not to love about that. That’s the way to start the night. Good, good, good.
KD: You delivered attitude and swagger. You were hot on stage.
SC: You have your confidence up now. I thought the performance at times was kind of corny, particularity the dancing. A tiny bit desperate.
CD: Not a good way to start the show, apalagi setelah performance minggu lalu yang bagus banget… (6/10)
AI: I don’t like it, just don’t like it. Lagunya menjadi aneh dengan aransemen yang dipaksa untuk lengket menjadi Lynche style. (5/10)

2. Didi Benami – Play With Fire
RJ: I think for the first time that you are on fire tonight. That was one of your best performances.
ED: You have an amazing voice. You lost your way but you got right back in the song.
KD: I think when you push on your vocal you lose you way. It was 2 steps in the right direction. You are moving towards who you are as an artist.
SC: You are showing us who you want to be. I have been a fan and again it was solid but not brilliant.
CD: Penampilan Didi jadi aneh… tapi setidaknya dia tampil cukup beda dibanding dgn penampilannya 3 minggu berturut2.. (7/10)
AI: Way to go! Aku suka usahanya minggu ini, dan semakin lama aura bintangnya semakin bersinar. She’s a sweetheart! (8/10)

3. Casey James – All Over Now
RJ: I think you could make a great career like this. I loved it. You are back for me.
ED: I thought it was fantastic.
KD: Tonight you were a rock star. It has blues and soul and that is what I have missed from you. This was your best performance since we met.
SC: I agree with Kara. You look great, you sounded great. You do have to push yourself. It has to be more than that.
CD: Casey back to Rock! Yah, sebenarnya cocok buat tema malam ini, sayangnya, tampangnya kurang mendukung utk jadi Rocker! hehe (7/10)
AI: Ajaibnya aku menikmati penampilannya Casey. Nyaris kacau tapi cukup menghibur. It was fun and entertaining! (7/10)

4. Lacey Brown – Ruby Tuesday
RJ: Interesting arrangement. It wasn’t a wow moment but you kind of held it together.
ED: When the song was building you sat down. It was a tiny bit sleepy for me but I am a fan of yours.
KD: It was 50 50 for me. There were some issues where you didn’t hit the notes right. You can do better.
SC: You perform like an actress. Nothing wrong with the vocals. You need to stop over thinking this.
CD: Owww… 1st bottom 3 kayaknya bakal ditempati oleh Lacey, boring…. so boring (5/10)
AI: Jika aku adalah Lacey, aku akan dengan senang hati menyerahkan tempatku di 12 besar ini kepada Katelyn Epperly. Dan ganti liriknya dari Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday menjadi Goodbye, Lacey Brown. (5/10)

5. Andrew Garcia – Gimme Shelter
RJ: I love the song and I love you but it was pitchy everywhere.
ED: I think it was your best performance yet. I loved it.
KD: There were elements that we heard what we have been missing. I wanted to feel what you were talking about. The connection bothered me the most out of that performance. I wanted more intensity.
SC: I am in the middle. You gave it 100% but my gut is you were better in rehearsals than tonight. I hope you survive another week.
CD: Sudah saatnya kita melupakan renditionnya dgn lagu “Straight Up”, karena Andrew tampil beda malam ini, walau tidak terlalu outstanding, tapi cukup menghibur… (7/10)
AI: Mediocre. Hingga saat ini aku belum menemukan harkat dan martabat Garcia sejak publik memilih. Nada tinggi dan panjangnya tetap tak memenangkan hatiku. (6/10)

6. Katie Stevens – Wild Horses
RJ: It is a great song if you sing it well. You sang that really well. A couple of pitch issues but you corrected them. It was a strong performance.
ED: Started a bit pitchy but sounded good once you got into it.
KD: It is never technically perfect but it was better than last week. SC: This is the only week you have chosen a strong song. I didn’t like the second half of the arrangement since you lost the emotion. I think you connected and you gave it 100%
CD: Sepertinya Katie berusaha membuktikan kalau dia gak modal tampang aja… malam ini dia berhasil memberikan performance terbaiknya! (7/10)
AI: Sekarang aku tau kenapa Kara nyebut Katie sebagai potential winner. Karena selain secara fisik sangat baik, kemampuannya juga mantab. Penampilan terbaiknya! (8/10)

7. Tim Urban – Under My Thumb
RJ: I didn’t get that. It was very bizarre. It didn’t serve your vocals well. I didn’t like it.
ED: Felt like I was a resort drinking a pina colada. There was nothing wrong with it. It just didn’t wow.
KD: I applaud you for doing something different with the song. You made it your own.
SC: I applaud you for doing something different but it didn’t work. Rolling Stones fans were turning off their TV sets.
CD: Weird… very weird! Tempat ke-2 bottom 3 sepertinya diambil oleh Tim Urban! (5/10)
AI: It’s smooth, but I don’t think smooth is enough. Jika Tim tidak benar-benar stand out, jalannya di American Idol akan menjadi sangat pendek. (6/10)

8. Siobhan Magnus – Paint It Black
RJ: Bringing the drama to season 9. That was hot.
ED: I loved the way you look tonight. I love the way you sound. I love the way you did that song. You stand out.
KD: The best interpretation tonight. You did the most with the song.
SC: The standout performance of the night. You look interesting. A lot of people will like that but a lot of people will hate that and that is the place to be.
CD: Mengingatku dgn penampilan Idol thn lalu… Adam Lambert! Sayangnya gaya menyanyi Siobhan terlihat kaku dan agak aneh… (8/10)
AI: She’s a star! (9/10)

9. Lee DeWyze – Beast Of Burden
RJ: You came home with this. You did the whole singer/songwriter things. It was dope.
ED: I thought it was great and you sounded great. I was expecting a tiny bit more from you. It was a little less than I expected.
KD: You are growing faster than anybody. Tremendous.
SC: I really like you as a person. You picked a safe song and other people have had bigger moments. The frustrating thing is that you have such an incredible voice.
CD: We have potential winner nih! Vocalnya bener2 amazing! Tak dibuat2… keren. (8/10)
AI: Lagunya secara alami nyatu dengan vokal Lee. Aku yakin ini adalah salah satu penampilan terbaik minggu ini. Gampang bilang suka ke Lee Dewyze. (9/10)

10. Paige Miles – Honky Tonk Woman
RJ: You did alright with it. You pulled it off. I liked it.
ED: I love that you used the stage. You sounded great. No one would know you were struggling with your voice.
KD: At times you may have gotten a little lost but you worked the stage and Paige is back.
SC: You hit some big notes. It is something you would hear in a bar and you still haven’t connected. It was an old fashioned performance.
CD: Katanya sakit.. tapi performancenya kok lumayan ketimbang minggu2 sebelumnya.. sayangnya tidak maksimal. (6/10)
AI: Let me tell you what I hate about Paige Miles. Dia tidak pernah bisa menghargai kesempatan yang diberikan padanya. Minggu ini alasannya adalah berjuang dengan suaranya yang hilang. Dan alasan minggu depan apa lagi? Orang-orang tidak ingin menyaksikanmu berada di panggung American Idol untuk berkaroke. (5/10)

11. Aaron Kelly – Angie
RJ: You were born to sing. I like you. I thought it was hot.
ED: Are you trying to do your hair like mine? I thought that was a great song choice. Another performance that stands out. Beautiful.
KD: You showed me tonight. It is very powerful. Really great.
SC: I did fear for you this week but you picked 100% the right song. You sang the song within the limits of your vocal. It was one of your strongest performances.
CD: Hingga kini, penampilannya belum ada yg bisa mempesona para juri.. ntah kenapa sepertinya Aaron Kelly masih meraba2 dimana genre yang pas buat dirinya. (6/10)
AI: I just love his performance. Dia memiliki modal berupa suara yang besar untuk berada di kompetisi ini. Good good good! (7/10)

12. Crystal Bowersox – You Don’t Always Get What You Want
RJ: I don’t think it was your best performance but I love you. You didn’t disappoint me tonight.
ED: You sing with such ease. You are born to be on the stage. You were playful tonight. Play more though.
KD: You are so comfortable up there. It wasn’t your greatest vocal but it was great.
SC: You came out here tonight 100% the clear favorite. You picked the song that didn’t have the drama and tonight I think you were beaten by someone. When you think you have the competition in the pocket you need to dig deep.
CD: I think she has a great vocal, great performance but not so good personality.. (8/10)
AI: She can do it all. Sebaiknya para juri tidak terlalu naif untuk memberi komentar buruk pada Crystal hanya untuk melihat respon pemirsa. (8/10)

Prediksi Bottom 3 menurut CreativeDisc: Lacey Brown, Paige Miles dan Tim Urban.
Prediksi Bottom 3 menurut Ai Hasibuan: 12 besar cukup sulit diprediksi karena kita juga belum tau bagaimana basis pendukung dari para finalis. Prediksiku untuk 3 terbawah ditempati oleh Lacey Brown, Tim Urban, dan Paige Miles. Dan yang tersisih adalah Lacey Brown.

Menurut kamu siapa yang bakal pulang besok? (Jangan lupa follow twitter @creativedisc utk Live Updatenya!).
Dan juga jangan lupa besok liat Result Shownya dengan penampilan dari David Cook, Ke$ha dan Orianthi!!!

Yang pulang malam ini adalah… LACEY BROWN!
