Ehhh… not my favorite from her. I LOVED her audition. I thought she was incredible. She needed to sing songs like Travelin’ Band in the Top 24 though. Still her best performance of the Top 24.

Amanda, you’re so pretty!

That’s a strong performance and I actually think Amanda is the prettiest girl in the bunch.

This just doesn’t please my ears.

That was good! Maybe not as great as Simon said… but very good.

Yay for Amanda!

Rickey your hot nurse kicked butt!! See you in the top 12 Amanda! Only thing is tht I am wording how she will do with the other themes

Could someone please tell me what I’m missing with this girl? Simon’s “fantastic” comment made my jaw drop – I think this girl’s terrible and I couldn’t stand the performance.

P.S. Sorry Rickey if you ended up having to delete my first comment.. didn’t see the no profanity rule.

1st of all, I was pleased with how fresh & youthful Amandas’ face appeared. She is so naturally pretty & the updated makeup revealed that.

2ndly, for this crucial performance, I thought her ’smoother’ hair style worked! I am not 1 who feels that an artist must always compromise their own expression of ‘themself’ in order to please the masses but for packaged television like this AI show, a little temporary adjustment can ensure a longer haul.

Most importantly, Amandas’ vocals were back in form & she did a great job tonight! The song selection was on point as she commanded the stage & I only wish that her facial expression shown a little more happiness especially following the judges positive critiques.

Oops! Should have deleted this text “The downside, amanada” as it went nowhere – lol.

Really like it.

But what was bothering her tonight? Do you think it’s the VFTW thing? She was obviously really upset about something all night… from the start of the program when they were showing all the girls, to shots of her up on the balcony all night, to her rave reviews from the judges.

It was nice to see her smile for a few seconds after they basically told her to. She has a pretty smile.

Would love to see a new hairdo on her though… like I said awhile back, she would look awesome if all of her hair was blonde.

Amanda has this sorta fake rough exterior but she’s extremely pretty. I thought she was off key in several places. I think Simon needs his ears checked.

You must have read my past post, brazen!

I suggested an all-platinum do & now that her “goth” makeup has vanished, Amanda has regained her youthful appearance & would really stand out! She would really look HOT! The key to NOT looking ‘trashy’ with platinum is in the cut & definitely the makeup, of course.

I see we’re on the same page.;)

aprylette #13: i didn’t see your post about her hair… i’ve been thinking that also since i first saw her. she really could look awesome. she’s a little jowley, but she could look so much prettier. but that hair now is not flattering. like oh my god and stuff.

brazen weep on March 5, 2008 at 9:49 pm

Yeah. It has become a routine for us viewers, I think, just to see how Dean the “hair guy” & staff (I guess they’re doing the hair stuff) are going to devise a new “do” from this strange hair color combo.

Wonder whether the contestant can refuse to cut or color her/his hair if the show urges? Not that they are. Or maybe the real fashion expense/investment is only when they reach the ‘12′? I just dunno…

I wish Amanda would just come to the realization that she would look great as a blonde.

Maybe she’s afraid of becomming too Sanjaya-esque since she’s Vote For the Worst’s pick.

But I just checked their site, and it appears they are now afraid she may not be the worst, especially given the judges’ rave reviews:

“She’s by far the least consistent, so we’ll stick with her for this week and see what happens. And if even if the judges like her, she’s still going to give us some VFTW Victory clunkers. During the theme weeks, we know Amanda will not be happy to sing disco and country, so it’s going to be great! But Amanda, back to more of last week please.”

She does lack consistency. But when she’s on, choosing the right song & performing well, she is solid.

Next week is reportedly ‘The Beatles’ theme. Hmmm. Presuming she is in the Final 12, Amanda could sing “Come Together”. Yeah, I can hear it now.

Like blondie commented, I too wonder about how she will do with other themes. If she has to sing a song out of her comfort zone, it might be more difficult for her than some of the other girls. Still, she certainly did her thing tonight. She commanded the stage and gave a really good performance.

Nice to see her doing well again. She’s still doesn’t sound a 100%, but much improved from last week, when her voice was in tatters.

Somebody was on her rag. But who cares, I loved her performance and even if she doesnt want to be here, I’m voting, damn it.

GeminiDolly on March 5, 2008 at 10:42 pm

Good! she rebounded. But she’s a rocker, it’s going to be tough to sing other genre songs.

Chicago-48 on March 5, 2008 at 11:04 pm

Oooh Beatles week…how about a scorching Helter Skelter?

Spriggzoid on March 5, 2008 at 11:07 pm

She is so much prettier this week with the toned down makeup and hair.

takai7 on March 5, 2008 at 11:12 pm

Looks so much better. Sounds so much better. That’s the Amanda I love!

detonic on March 5, 2008 at 11:18 pm

That was good. I still am concerned how she’ll do in the different genres per week, but she’ll make the top 12.

oboeadam on March 5, 2008 at 11:37 pm

Great recovery. She seemed really down, I hope she finds herself in better spirit soon.

Am I the only one who noticed how HOT her fiance was in the audience? Holy mother of god – rewind and look y’all.

Would be nice if some time she gives us a clue that she might actually want to be on stage, though.

richie on March 6, 2008 at 12:31 am

really, blonde? how about some bangs?

i want to like amanda but i was expecting them to give her a hard time on song choice. i’m a joan jett fan for sure, but nothing really happens in this song.

i’m guessing something else (like, something important) besides idol must have been bothering her.

Oh && her Fiancé is very hot. They will have pretty babies. =]

detonic on March 6, 2008 at 1:03 am

Now see.. THAT’s the Amanda I’ve been wanting to see!
Sure I think she’s going to struggle w/ theme week but I still want her in the top 12!
I think if she can get creative w/ the songs and turn them rock, she’ll be ok, but I’m not sure if she has that creativity in her.

I really hate to rain on the love fest for Amanda, but I just don’t get what the appeal is… I just can’t stand her voice. It’s like listening to nails on a chalkboard for me! She’s a great performer, I’ll give her that. But, this is a singing competition and she’s not a good singer.

PhilPhan on March 6, 2008 at 2:43 am

Wow she really nailed it!

mymelody on March 6, 2008 at 7:51 am

Sorry but I didn’t get it or her! Her voice does nothing for me, matter fact its becoming annoying!

bfashion58 on March 6, 2008 at 8:24 am

It’s about time she has shown us what she is made of. She may in fact sound the same; however, this competition needs women who stand out from the rest of the hum-hum crowd. And, in my opinion, Amanda Overmyer is that woman. She may not be the best singer out there–but her uniqueness makes her one of the brightest on the show.

She is the prettiest among the girls. When she smiles she is beautiful!

Go Amanda!
