...better than the boys?...
The instant reaction to tonight's performances - a little better than the boys, and our favorites are shining brighter this week than last...
The Lovely Bride and I DID agree tonight... here's the power rankings based on our assessment - Dial Idol will have details in the morning. (Overall ranking based on all performances to date...)
1. Brooke White - 1 (1)
2. Carly Smithson - 2 (2)
3. Syesha Mercado - 3 (3)
4. Alaina Whitaker - 4 (5)
5.
Ramiele Malubay - 5 (3)6. Asia'h Epperson - 6 (5)
7. Kristy Lee Cook - 7 (8)
8. Alexandra Lushington - 8 (7)
9. Kady Malloy - 9 (9)
10. Amanda Overmyer - 10 (10)
Basically
there is nothing but love for Brooke White, she's got the winsome personality, keen sense of how to pick the perfect song, and has played to her strength thus far. Similarly
Carly Smithson has played to similar strengths. There is also some separation between those two and the rest of the field though on pure likability and total package Syesha is moving up quickly - AS IS Alaina (Simon officially declaring her the dark horse of the contest as of tonight.)
