Those finally belong to us.
Next up is quirkyTrent Harmonwho crushed the Bee Gees Love Somebody last week.
And then, of course,LaPorsha Renaerounds out the first four.
I love it, but in the far distance, I can already hear your audible groans.
Mama knows, mama knows.
She would handily win that show, butIdol?
Are we going to ride that narrative to the end?
That is, if shes given the shot to move on.
Fortunately, people like retro, so I think she could thrive now, too.
Her style is strong and confident, but shes still missing that necessary charm.
I just dont want to be in Avalons club yet.
But this week, it was at the judges how much do you love that?
Then he mentions that we need country music in the mix.
Somewhere in the world, Effie Trinket is like, Stop.
She goes after True Colors again, which she once forgot the lyrics to.
And though she remembered all the lyrics, her quirky, squeaky style didnotdo it for me this week.
It didnt feel as purposeful, but who knows.
Lee Jean, Make It Rain
Rank: Fourth
Close call!
We almost went a week without Lee Jean doing Ed Sheeran.
Honestly, it wasnt as strong as his last go at the song.
Anyway, she goes after I Surrender again, and its wonderful.
Id love to see her not look so scared when shes singing, but vocally, shes a contender.
I can tell you, however, that Im obsessed with her side pony braid.
Im obsessed with her strangeness.
Shecannottake the title ofAmerican Idolin five weeks, but shes interesting.
Im sorry, I just dont know whats going on with Jeneve.
He chooses his own song, Roses in an attempt to literally steal my heart away.
