So here I am again, watching American Idol for the millionth year in a row. I didn't bother commenting on week 1 because it was terrible, but I think everyone improved enough that I can comment on this week.
First off, the guys all got much better. Every single one. Michael Lynche started things off strong, showing his real talent for the first time in my opinion. He improved immensely from last week and I found his rendition of "It's a Man's World" enjoyable and refreshing. Andrew Garcia also gave a great performance despite what the judges said, although it still didn't live up to "Straight Up" from Hollywood week (if you still haven't seen it, check it out here). Regardless, it was definitely better than last week's. Other than those two, Lee Dewyze and Alex Lambert continued their ascent, getting better and more confident as time goes on. If they can let go of their nerves, the other contestants better watch out. Jermaine Sellers and Tim Urban are my picks for elimination, although I wouldn't be surprised if legions of young girls kept Tim in it for a few more weeks.
The girls, on the other hand, were just as bad as last week for me. Crystal Bowersox was fantastic, as I'm sure everyone knows by now, but she was the only one. No one else is memorable; it's like they're happy being mediocre. No one is taking chances and it's going to hurt them if they don't get their act together. Didi Benami and Haeley Vaughn are most likely going home.
Still a crappy season but at least it's getting better.
