American Idol 9 Top 10 Studio Recordings Available Now
Siobhan Magnus
Go Siobhan! Still sounded like a poor song choice for her in the studio. The big note did not work for me this week.

Casey James
Why does Casey always play it safe? Because that's his comfort zone and it shows in this recording. One of the better ones this week.

Michael Lynche
Same comment as last week: the larger than life persona is lost in the recording which sounds generic. I don't think he can overcome this unfortunately.

Didi Benami
This wasn't bad. Very different from the live performance. She should have kept her live simple and less dramatic -- it may have saved her. Miss you Didi!

Tim Urban
Tim sounds good to me in this recording as usual. But the judges hate him.
Rating: 1/5 stars
Andrew Garcia
Wow. Sorry Andrew fans -- but I did not like this at all. I'm just amazed how he could have screwed this up. Oh well. Andrew's range (the versatility of his voice) is so limited -- he only sounds good when accompanied by an acoustic guitar, that's it. The background music they used wasn't that different from the Chris Brown version, sheesh. Still waiting for that perfect song for Andrew.

This recording didn't do anything for me. But it wasn't bad either.

Sorry Mamasox fans, I still think Crystal sounds so much better live than in recording.
