Amanda Rocks Simon's World

Posted by ExtraTV Staff on March 6, 2008 6:13 AM

It's another season of scandals and controversy on "American Idol," as the judges heard of yet another hopeful with a bumpy past -- blonde-streaked rocker Amanda Overmyer -- who last night warbled "I Hate Myself for Loving You" -- which ended up as Simon's favorite performance of the night.

When the clips rolled of the girls' "most embarrassing moments," Amanda did not include news of a DUI in 2006 -- with her mugshot plastered all over the net. After she sang, Simon said, "If I'm being honest... that was fantastic, you nailed that song and it was my favorite performance of the girls' part."

Simon wasn't as enthusiastic about Kady Malloy, the girl who was spared last week when Alaina Whitaker gave her tearful goodbye. Simon said Kady's performance was robotic and his biggest problem was that she was "massively lacking personality." Ouch! Before going onstage, Malloy told Ryan she thought she was going home last week because Alaina was "so good," and she thanked America for keeping her.

Carly Smithson and Brooke White burned it up, while Ramiele Malubay and Kristy Lee Cook got lukewarm praise. Despite the constructive criticism from the panel, Paula took aim at the very vocal audience, which she thought was heckling her throughout the night, calling them the "peanut gallery." She said if Randy's favorites were "dogs," the audience members were "mutts."

Now it's time for you to sound off on who your favorite "dogs" are. Tell "Extra" which two guys and two girls should start packing before tonight's result show!

I think that Chikezie and Danny Noriega should go. Danny is especially irritating, makes a lot of silly faces, doesn’t seem to have a lot of clues and has zero talent. Chikezie just doesn’t have as much talent as the other men. Amanda is terrible and Asia’h is lacking the vocals that would make her a serious contender.

The females I’d like to see go home asap: Amanda and Kady. But I know Amanda won’t go. I can’t stand her style of singing. It’s unpleasant and harsh, and I don’t appreciate whatever’s supposed to be good about it. Liked Carly best, Brooke second best. Previous weeks I liked Ramiele.

Missed the boys, so can’t comment, except based on previous nights, I like David Archuleta best, and Noriega least.

Guys - Chikezie and Danny
Girls - Ramiele and Kady although I’m not crazy about watching Amanda but I think she could probably make it in her realm, it’s just not my realm.

I don’t know, there’s just something about Amanda that makes my ears hurt. Kind of like nails on a chalk board. And That skunk hair she’s got going on just kills me. Once again, just my opinion.

Who I hope goes home (not that they will):
Amanda and Asia’h, or Kady.
Danny and Jason (the dreads gross me out)

Leave Kady alone she is doing a great job all she needs to do is get alot more nerve than she has right now. I was the exact same way when I was going through my teenage years the only
difference is she has the nerve to go on that stage and I don’t. Kady needs to get her personality out there have fun be herself dance alot more and try to loosen up a little bit. Good luck Kady hope you make it through the top 12 get some nerve out there GIRL!!!!!!

I’m so worried about Amanda. I don’t want her to be this season’s Sundance Head. Despite the fact that Simon loved her performance last night, she seems to have a lot of detractors who say she can’t sing and is a one-trick pony. That’s why I was hoping she would sing a ballad last night. She really does need to show another side. But the Top 12 so needs her. It would be like a big chunk is missing without her. Kristy also has to make the Top 12, otherwise for the second season in a row, there will be no contestant to represent country music.

Who should go home: Guys - Luke and Danny. Girls: Kady and Asia’h.
