I thought she did a great job. Amanda was never my pick to win, but I did vote for her to try to keep her on. I did always looked forward to seeing what she would come up with week after week.

Shame she didn’t make the tour. She would have been a nice addition to the mix!

Not a perfect performance, but the piano player’s inability to keep a tempo didn’t help matters much. She’s a lot like Taylor for me — I enjoy her voice so much that I don’t need every note to be 100% perfect. But hey, she’s not going to be everyone’s bag of chips, and the cool thing about her is that she knows it and is happy with it.

I saw it this morning, I loved her interview more than the singing. I guess it was just so sedate for me. Not the Amanda that I love. I like the prowling, bending, snarling Amanda, not the docile, milquestoast person that showed up in her place today. Oh well. I hope she gets some better gigs.

I love the girl, Amanda is priceless in this video! I wonder if Fuel is still looking for a singer since Chris Daughtry turned down the job.

Just flyin’ by to catch the last of the AO vibe…..rumor has it (and a strong one at that) is that negotiations are underway to have her peform at the famous Whiskey-a-GoGo in LA…

http://www.whiskyagogo.com/

“As long as there has been a Los Angeles rock scene, there has been the Whisky A Go-Go.
An anchor on the Sunset Strip since it’s opening in 1964, the Whisky A Go-Go has played host to rock ‘n’ roll’s most important bands, from the Doors, Janis Joplin, and Led Zeppelin to today’s up and coming new artists.”

Sounds like the Rock crowd has taken a likin’ to this AI castoff….Go Amanda!

She needs to look at herself in the mirror more. She’s a very pretty woman (w/ makeup! LOL), but that sneer she makes when she sings can be a little annoying. A little bit too Elvis-ish. Somebody needs to take her aside and just mentor her, coach her, so she can go further than she is. She also needs to network with the other Idol alumni from past shows. You notice there seems to be an alumni of sorts with the past Idols….I don’t know about this batch of idols….I don’t get that they are so much in love with each other.

Anybody else feeling this group?

Friday 3/28 – Amanda Overmyer appears on The Ellen Degeneres Show. I think the “talk show” gigs are all taken. Wait …maybe Ellen needs a co-host???

Well, Sally, according to MJ’s appearances list, she’ll be on Ellen Friday. No conspiracy to be found here!

Idolbeat, I think it was a very good rendition. She had a piano accompaniment to a rock song. Not an easy thing to do. She did move a little bit, but it’s not the same as if she had bass & drums behind her. I think she will find “limited” success, maybe doing the summer fares, maybe Chris D. will allow her to come on stage and sing a few songs; but honestly, she needs a HIT record. Otherwise, I see her as a sidekick to a talk show host. Honestly, she’s likable and she has a good attitude.

Does Michael Orland accompany all the Idols on every single show? Regis is in NYC….notice she’s not on Ellen? Hmmm…

I’m not an Amanda fan, but I thought that was her bet vocal by far. When she dials it back a bit, and doesn’t sing every note like it is part of some rock anthem, she’s got real potential.

I think unless you are an Amanda fan, listening objectively, that was not a great performance.

That song was I Hate Myself For Loving You, the Joan Jett song she did in 80′s week. She did it slower this time.

During the competition, Randy said “Well done!”
Paula said, “This is YOU.”
Simon said, “Fantastic, Really Fantastic.”

I’m amazed at how mediocre Amanda is. As far as the tour, I’ll let America decide that one. Nice person though. The crew this year is heavy on niche talents but very short on people with the whole package.

I miss Amanda! I think her good personality was finally showing, but then she got the boot. I really wish she would’ve made it to go on tour.

I think she sang great with just the piano.
