American Idol TV Show
Season 7
The Top Twelve Show!
03-11-08 Our Take
Theme Was:
"The Lennon McCartney Songbook"!
Last Night it was the 'Top 12' who performed on the New Stage! The Top 12 of them in a 2 Hour show!
Here are our 'scores', (based on 1-10, 10 being highest), on each performance with the 4th column showing the difference between my score and Tina's score. The 'contestants' are listed in order of performance during the night, NOT by numerical score:
The 'Top 12'

| 1 | Sayesha / Got To Get You Into My Life | 7.5 | 1.0 | 6.5 |
| 2 | Chikieze / She's A Woman | 8.5 | 0.0 | 8.5 |
| 3 | Ramiele / In My Life | 6.5 | 0.0 | 6.5 |
| 4 | Jason / If I Fell | 7.0 | 0.5 | 7.5 |

First of all... Michael's Take on the night: Ryan is pictured above in this blog post because:
1) He was all over the new stage last night, making a big deal about it. Tina didn't think it was all that much different looking on our large screen TV, so we guess you have to be there to compare the difference between it and last year's stage.
2) He kept getting into it with Simon last night. You know... I think there was enough action on stage last night that he didn't need to needle Simon over and over. It was 'overdone' last night IMHO. I personally think Ryan should get after Paula this year, as she is sooo off the wall on her comments. Her comments are really 'grating' on my and Tina's ears this year!
Also, I agree with Simon... It should be a 'Talent Show', not a 'Popularity Contest' at this point!
Secondly.... Tina's Take on the night: Why is the band up in the 'penthouse' as Ryan called it????? Toooo far away!!!
What we normally do this early in the process is to vote for the highest one or two contestants per the score we gave them. However, tonight we decided to vote for 3 each.
Michael voted for Chikieze / David Cook / and Kristy Lee Cook who each scored 8.5 by him, while Tina voted for Chikieze / David Cook /and Amanda Overmyer! Tina couldn't get over Michael's likeing Kristy's 'country' rendition of 8 Days A Week! Well.... Michael thought that was really good even though the 3 Judges thought it was rushed, etc....
