This is hilariously late and, as such, since nobody’s going to read it, probably, I’m going to try to keep it short (although, wiht 240 people, how short can it be?). These are my song-by-song recap of the past two weeks of American Idol performances, the first of which I can only label as probably the worst semi-final in Idol history last week’s shows (tried to do both top 24 and top 20 but it took forever).

American Idol: the last 17 out of 24.
Continuing from yesterday’s episode, tonight saw the announcement of the last 17 slots in the top 24.
American Idol: Road to Top 24 review.
Wow, how come the contestants suddenly performed so much better as a whole (although I still can’t recognise half of them)? Must be last-minute desperation. While there still weren’t many WHOA!-calibre performances, the level was generally higher tonight. Some highlights (and, obviously, spoilers alert!):
American Idol faves.
I’ve always been a huge fan of the Idol series (ask any of my friends and they’d complain about the obsession of my Idolmania during secondary school which spanned all the English-speaking, and even some non-English, versions worldwide) and American Idol has always ranked high on my list of the franchises.
This season, however, I’ve been terribly underwhelmed. Normally, by this period (after group performances), I’d have at least a few favourite auditions and some memorable group performances. This year, there wasn’t a single audition that I went “wow!” over (even those the judges heaped praise on were only ok, to me) and the group performances were absolutely, uniformly dreadful.
With that said, though, I still have a few favourites and I really hope that they not only continue to go far, but pick up their game and bring out some amazing performances that can match up to previous seasons’ highlights.
