American Idol Top 8 Women

The ladies were not as thrilling as the men, but there were still plenty of pretty faces to look at and voices to hear. Besides, crazy Paula knew to up the ante last night to fill in the gap of boringness.

• I expected more bad Whitney Houston imitations, but we only had one and of course it was the opening number. Asia'h was OK, but I think she is in trouble along with the performer who followed her, Kady.
• As much as I want Amanda gone, figures Simon raved about her, so she should secure that top 12 position.
• Kristy Lee did not do Journey justice, and Carly was just a solid good, while Ramiele was better but I was more focused on her glossy lips than anything else.
• Brooke was loved again this week, although it was not my favorite performance of hers.
• Syesha was an excellent closing number. She had a great look, voice, and energy to end the show on a high note.

Tonight, I am thinking bye bye Luke and David Hernandez, but since none of the ladies were standouts I will have to go with Asia'h and Kady. I hope Amanda takes her place, which is unlikely since she definitely has a lot of fans, including Simon. Check out more from last night here and don't forget to vote off the girls you think will get booted.
