American Idol - 8 Gals

   It wouldn't have taken much to beat the anemic showing by the guys
   yesterday. It turned out the guys never had a chance. As a group, the
   gals were great, with only one real klinker, Kady Malloy. She was
   painfully off key again this week.
   The big surprise - the first A I've given this season - was for Kristy
   Lee Cook. She looked great and sang great, doing Journey's
   "Faithfully" with a distinctive and pleasing country lilt. Simon says
   she's forgettable. I'd rather buy this number than several others he
   liked better.
   I liked Carly Smithson almost as much, but the song choice didn't
   quite suit her I thought. Punky Amanada Overmeyer did well also.
   Syesha Mercado has done better, but joins Asia'h Epperson as my B-List
   acts.
   That leaves Ramiele Malubay and Brooke White on the C-list, one to
   join Kady on the way out. I'll it's say Ramiele, who had lots of small
   problems with her performance. Brooke got good press from the judges
   but I just didn't care for her "Love is a Battlefield" mumber.
