American Idol Review: The Top 16 (Ladies)

Katie Stevens - Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson

It was alright. Off pitch at times and didn't really do anything special.

Siobhan Magnus - House of the Rising Sun by The Animals
She kicked that song's ass. It was an awesome song and it actually suited Siobhan really well. She sang the shit out of it and she has really emerged over the last couple weeks were her ability to hit the high notes. She has the edge to be an artist and she has the voice to back it up.

Lacey Brown - The Story by Brandi Carlile
I didn't think it started great, but she turned it around big time. It was a very nice performance overall.

Katelyn  Epperly - I Feel The Earth Move by Carol King
This is what I have been waiting for from Katelyn. She looked comfortable up there singing and it was by far the best performance of the night so far. The judges are idiots, that was a good performance.


Didi Benami -Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac
Didi picked up the guitar again and performed the song quite well. She does well when the guitar is in her hands, so she should probably play it from here on out. It was a redemption from last weeks disaster.

Paige Miles - Smile by Charlie Chaplan
The song may be a classic, but it was boring as hell. She sang it well, but I don't think she could have picked a more boring song for this competition.


Crystal Bowersox - Give Me One Reason by Tracy Chapman
She knows what she is doing and once again she is so much better than everybody else. That was one of the best performances ever on Idol. They should just crown her the next American Idol and get a new cast and start the next season.

Lilly Scott - I Fall To Pieces by Patsy Cline
I dug the mandolin, but this performance didnt do much for me. She sounded fine, but following up Crystal didn't help her much.

Knox Animal Performance of the Night: Crystal Bowersox

Iverson Responds To Alcohol, Gambling Allegations

Former NBA star Allen Iverson has had a hell of a time as of late. His wife, Tawanna, filed for divorce, his daughter is ill, he lost his job as a NBA player when he basically took a leave of absence. On top of that, he recently has been called an alcoholic with a gambling addiction.

Here is how AI responded to his fans and critics on twitter:

To my fans: You all know that my life isn’t perfect. I am going through some very tough times right now, like I am sure that we all do from time to time. However, I will stand tall like always with “rhino” thick skin.
Even though I have become used to hearing people say things about me that aren’t true, it still hurts. I encourage you to continue your ongoing support and I want you to trust that this is another obstacle in my life that, with God’s help I will overcome. God Bless You All.
Best of luck AI.
