last night dashboard confessional performed on the late show with david letterman. good performance. i love saints and sailors. i just finished watching american idol at 10, so i feel it's my duty to critique all of the performances... ahem... once again a.j. gil perormed mediocredly ( is that a word? ) and once again i didn't like him. he's a weak singer and he has some freaky facial hair. i think he shaves in the dark. ryan starr usually does pretty damn well, but tonight she didn't quite have it. i hope she makes it to next week so people can see what she's really capable of. and nikki mckibbin recovered from last weeks choice of song. she was back to her crazy self, although i don't think that her voice could really handle the song that she chose. i definately think that rj helton needs to sing much better if he hopes to win. although i doubt that he has it in him. kelly clarkson easily had the best performance of the night. she's not my favorite, but she totally pulled it off. tamyra gray was also one of the standouts. i don't know what else to say other than she did a great job. i thought that justin guarini's song was decent, but some of the judges didn't think he did so hot. although i agree with simon when he said that he's been outsung by 3 girls. and my favorite, christina christian, had a solid performance. although her voice didn't go quite where it needed to, she definately didn't suck. so that's that, christina will most definately make it through this round, and a.j. and maybe nikki have some worrying to do. i think those would be the 2 that get the least votes. and if there's any justice in the world, a.j. will be gone after tomorrow night. and i'm waiting to see if lauren logs on to launch tamponman, her mascot. i'll wait and see though.
