'American Idol': Top 8 women perform
Tonight on American Idol, the women take on the songs of the 1980s. So let's get to it.
The judges' interchanges with Ryan Seacrest are weird and awkward tonight, no? There's like zero audience response and lots of weird silences. Huh.
Asia'h Epperson says her most embarrassing moment (that's the question of the week) was being an extra on a movie about roller skating and totally falling in front of everyone. On stage, she sings Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody." The song really suits her voice, and she's having a good time, but she's definitely not doing anything new with it. Randy Jackson says he recorded that song with the great Whitney Houston and that even though it was a tall order for her to take on that song, "It was hot." Paula Abdul says she wondered whether she could pull it off, and, "You nailed it." Simon Cowell says he isn't quite as enthusiastic and that "at best it was second-rate Whitney Houston." But, with Ryan's prodding, Simon says he thinks it was good enough to get her through to next week.
Kady Malloy tells Ryan that she was certain she was going home last week, and it was intense. She says her most embarrassing moment was ruining the song "Beautiful" at the ninth-grade talent show, followed by tripping over the microphone cord and setting off a lot of feedback. On stage, she sings Queen's "Who Wants to Live Forever," but it's really rough at the beginning and way too subdued. After a bit, she gets a little more into it, but the energy never really kicks in. Randy says it's a "very interesting" song choice and that she did a "pretty good" job with it. Paula says this was her best performance to date. Simon says it was better than last week, but, "I'm still having issues with your massive lack of personality." He says she's like a robot when she sings and that she might be in trouble.
