Ok then, my honest opinion of the guys show:

Clint: Not a bad way to kick off the show, but got crushed by better performances later on.

Govani: I enjoyed this performance. I really did. It didn't get any better than just quiet enjoyment though.

Jordan: I have no idea what he was thinking picking a bad Usher song, singing worse than Usher (Is that even possible?!?!?!) and topped it all off with terribad dance moves.

Tim: I really wanted to like this performance. If you want to put genre bias in prospetive, the only artist who was performed on this show I have on my iPod is Rob Thomas. But this performance just wasn't good. I really wanted to like it but I just couldn't

On a side note, why the **** doesn't anyone remember the title of the song is "Streetcorner Symphony" ?!?!

Brett: No. Just No. Really, this guy made the top 24? Really, this guy made it past the first "LOL UR SO BAD" show? You all should be ashamed of yourselves if this is the best you can do.

Oh you want me to articulate why he was so bad? The first half of the song was so timidly undersung it sounded like an 8 year old a chuch talent show, and the second half was so off key it sounded like drunk karioke.

James: It takes real talent to scream the high notes without getting shrill, and also to sing a Judas Priest song and actually give a full bodied sound during the verses.

Robbie: The arrangement was terrible (to the point where I almost didn't recognize it), and he seemed a bit off key for most of the performance. Perhaps I'm being a bit too harsh on the arrangement, but terrible arrangements can kill performances, and this one certainly did.

Scotty: I'm not that big of fan of country music, but maybe if more of it sounded like Scotty I would be. He had this wonderful enchanting deep voice and gave an extremely professional performance. I was extremely impressed.

Stefano: His voice was grating, he was off key for the ENTIRE song, and he has all the charm of your average Jersy Shore character. You told me not to hate him for his genre. What is his genre? Douchebag?

Paul: This is where I'm probably going to disagree with most everyone. I thought he just wasn't very good. I think he was at the same level of singing as Tim-just plain not very good. It's really hard to articulate what I didn't like about their performances, but I guess the best way to put it is that instead of having a deep and robust sound theirs was shallow.

Jacob: I honestly didn't think Jacob was as good as the judges did, but he is clearly a talented singer. The biggest reason perhaps was his vocal style doesn't match my taste, but he's clearly talented enough to be here

Casey: I loved this performance. American Idol clearly needs more big band style frontmen.

My top 5, in order, were: Scotty, Casey, James, Jacob, Govani. Clint then would have been my wild card.

My top 4 did make it, and Govani was clearly worse than the rest so I can't complain about the top 13.
