American Idol 11 – Top 12 Girls – Who’s your favorite? Poll

top12girls American Idol 11   Top 12 Girls   Whos your favorite? Poll

The American Idol 11 Top 12 Girls performance show was one of the most boring ever, but it did gift us with some of worst performances of the season and one that could make the list of the worst performances of all time for the past 11 seasons.

I know some of you have your favorites from the girls this season, but please don’t tell me it was because of tonight. No wonder the ratings have fallen off the cliff. Casting SEVEN generic blondes – most of whom cannot sing, four other white girls and a single Mexican-Filipino girl has not been the formula for success in the past. Idol really dropped the ball this season.

Who was your favorite? Take the poll and watch the recap (and my Top 5). You can vote for 5 people since 5 will go through on Thursday via viewer vote:

Rickey’s Top 5

1. Elise Testone
2. Jessica Sanchez
3. Skylar Laine
4. Jen Hirsch
5. Shannon Magrane

Wild Card: NONE

Too bad Shannon made the top 10 instead of Jen or Erika.  But since Shannon made it over them, the judges had to pick between Jen and Erika.  I thought Jen has the better voice but judges picked Erika for the wildcard.  We have too many blondes already...hello!

 @joeytad2010 I was shocked that Shannon made the top 10 - I was sure that it would be either Hollie or Shannon - didn't think both could make it in, since they are both teen blonde girls who sang sappy ballads last night. And since Hollie was WAY better, I figured she'd make it over Shannon. I'm also surprised the judges didn't save Jen because she was a clear favorite from the start. But I'm a big fan of Erika and she's certainly different from the other blondes on the show.

Wow, there is no love for Shannon Magrane on this website.  The judges love her, YouTube viewers love her.  There is nothing not to like about her.  She is crazy talented and super nice.  People need to get over what she was wearing.  Did she look bad?  I don't think so!

 @Lombe I actually found her rather awkward on stage..like she was practicing walking around in high heels, unsteady. Too jumpy and frenetic. I feel her voice is good (better than the majority of the girls last night) ...but lacked real power..she 'feels' rehearsed, calculated and less natural than some of the others.  She will get full support of the non-voting Filipinos (who reside overseas) on Rickey.org regardless, so the comments and poll numbers we see on here are pretty meaningless. As I stated previously, she is the only non-white in the top 12 girls so she can shit her way through any song and still, you best believe she will be advancing and will be pimped to the max. It already started last night! We know the drill.....

 @Mikhail XO Awkward????????? Your'e the 1st person I've heard say that, Every site iv'e been to ranging from Billboard to E! Online to Entertainment Weekly, to THR, all say she Has the stage presence of a seasoned Pro.Her voice is a breathe of fresh air, and even without all the Judges Pimping, America would still think she's wonderful.. Her race doesnt really matter, to me. IWhat matters is she has a beautiful voice ( amongst the top 4 voices in the competition) and every time i've heard her sing, she's moved me to tears. Honestly she doesn't need to be pimped at all, Her voice does enough for her.

 @Rickey  Thanks for your level-headed response. I have been lurking here, enjoying your blog (and mp3s!)  for a number of years, but only recently signed up to post.  I think it's interesting that all the conspiracy theories abound as to who I am, but let me be crystal clear. I've only one account and  I'm an American woman from Virginia (transplanted native Californian). Ethnically, I am a mutt that's mostly Greek, English, and Cherokee.  I have no interest in seeing this escalate further. FTR, I was unaware that you get high traffic from the Philippines here as a usual occurrence,  so appreciate that added info which adds to my understanding of what's transpired. Furthermore, I am not really that "into" Jessica, as I like quite a number of other contestants as well. I only rose to defend her against what I thought were unwarranted attacks. That said, I've MOVED ON. I have no interest in conversing with Mikhail XO beyond this (even tho' *SHOCKER* we actually agree on other contestants LOL). I am only responding here because I got  an email informing me that you had posted and wanted to let you know I read it. Thanks again for your fair-minded handling of this matter. I hope we never have reason to revisit this type of exchange again.  :)

 @Mikhail XO  @Rickey I assume you're referring to some other Julie because I literally only started commenting regularly on this blog this week. Before that, I only commented in the Facebook comment section. I never went after anyone or made personal attacks on anyone, just stated my opinion. I'm not one of karmica's "minions"  - I just happened to agree with him on the contestants this year. I was a lurker here for years but the drama on this blog is getting to be a bit much for me.

 @Mikhail XO    @Rickey Dear Rickey, I loved going to MasterClass Lady's site and commenting, but she treated it like a grade school class and one little beotch starting attacking everything I said.  All the other little girls sided with her and stormed me.  Of course, MasterClass Lady took their side(don't think she read the comments history) and I never went back to her site.  That was over a year ago.  @Mikhail XO   Just turn the page. Or Rickey, show some alligiance and ban her Pinoy butt.  To quote McCartney---That would be something, really would be something.

 @Rickey  I love you dude, but you well know some incarnation of "Karmica" will return to spread more shit and misery. I'd never tell you what to do because I think that sucks, and I don't much like it when blog owners and mods liberally utilize the ban hammer, but this ass needs to be set straight. 'They' are merely a temporary presence here and not a contributor- and will remain only until Jessica  is voted off. I'll return after I know 'Karmica' is gone from here then. I know this person to be already banned at other places...

 @WaynoCoaster  @Mikhail XO  @karmica @Joystickenvy  Sleep it over karmica, and come back tomorrow when your head is cool. We go through these flare ups all the time. You are taking this issue with Jessica too seriously. Filipino singers like Jessica, have always attracted large amounts of traffic directly from the Philippines on this blog. This is the point that is being made here, as well as the fact that she is the only non-white female in the Top 24.

Here is what you said:

As I stated previously, she is the only non-white in the top 12 girls so she can shit her way through any song and still, you best believe she will be advancing and will be pimped to the max. 

 

So who stooped to calling polls and comments meaningless because of "non-voting Filipinos"? Who called her non-white and said she was gonna be pimped although she could "shit her way through any song"  

 

Maybe you're used to being some big-assed fish in this small pond, but you're a bully and wanker and I will respond whenever I see your crap that deserves one. Big MAN, who attacks a teenager relentlessly on numerous threads AND used her race to unfairly discount her popularity.

You obviously don't understand what I was saying and you are not interested in my view so stop talking to me. You are only interested in making your point which is that Jessica Sanchez is the best F-ing contestant EVVVEEEEEER to grace the Idol stage. well, I happen to be Asian too and I am certainly not the only one who holds the opinion of how Idol over the years pimps the last remaining minorities to the finale to deflect public criticism. It's their own fault for stacking the deck with lily white blondes. Ask Rickey...he'll be happy to expalin it to you.

I can only base my opinion on last night's show and the green mile episodes where Mo, Larry and Curly chose this Top 24 - I saw very little of this season of Idol. But, of what I DID see I have to say this - what's the deal with all the love for Jessica Sanchez? She's not that good. She has no bottom range - most of her performance last night was indecipherable and mush-mouthed. She has strong pipes, but there's no emotional connect - she defines "pageant". The same for her green mile performance.

Sure, she - and most of the girls - sound like Aretha Franklin in comparison to the horrors that were the boys the night before (and, again, I only saw their green mile performances and Tuesday), so perhaps everyone's just overpraising for some relief of that terrible night. But, come on.Jessica is the clear favorite?

I'm in the wrong realm of reality.

 @jeffreychrist Hey Jeffrey darling...you know we agree....yes she lacks power in the lower register . the "deal" with "all of the love for Jessica Sanchez" is that she is Filipino...and filipinos live Idol and are stalwart and relentless supporters of their own. While AI doesn't care about her heritage/ethnic background...they do care that she is the lone minority girl...so she will get the full treatment, LOL! 

 

On another site, I said something honest, but still fairly benign, about preferring the more talented Elise over Jessica. Someone wrote back to me that I was a "racist bully" for picking on a  "filipino teenager" What?? LOL!  and then wrote "you Koreans think you are so superior"...I'm not even Korean--they must think I'm Heejun. It might get ugly here with her unyielding, fanatical, allegiant supporters.   In a nutshell...you are right...she's 'not all that'.
