[Watch] Jennifer Hudson (featuring Candice Glover) Perform "Inseparable" @ American Idol /Shade



So yeah, the duet with Candice Glover and Jennifer Hudson was good, but did anyone else get the feeling that Hudson was singing over Candice? Of course there were parts where the voices were meant to overlap and harmonise, but there were also sections (2.05) were it looked like Hudson should have been controlling herself, but couldn't resist getting in on the vocal. Also, the way she cut off Candice's note at 1.22 of the video was just damn disrespectful- and that's just when Randy and Mariah were really getting into it.

Jessie J's Bald Head Shines Bright Like A Diamond On American Idol Duet With Angie Miller



Jessie J is one fearless Diva. First she turns traitor on her own show, The Voice, by dilly-dallying with one of its rivals, American Idol, and then, if that wasn't enough, she has the nerve to do it with her bald head! The Americans must have been thinking WTF, who is this chick and where is her hair! Seriously, is she that well known over the pond and do you guys even know the song Domino? Either way, I'm actually proud that she went on to such a big show and didn't conform by putting a wig on!

Duetting with finalist Angie Miller, Jessie demonstrated why she is considered a vocal force by this generation, with a solid performance full of her brand of high belting and crazy melisma. However, I think the last note, aka the money-note, wasn't the one she wanted and was unfortunately all kinds of strainymess. But still, she worked that stage like an energiser bunny, funnelling that energy and humility right down my monitor. Bless JJ and her bald head.(BTW she shaved her head for charity)

Jennifer Lopez Performs "Live It Up" @ Idol- Mariah Remains (Unim)pressed...




JLo is one consistent performer. You know that whenever she hits the stage she's going to give it a 100% and do her darnedest to entertain the crowd. And, unsurprisingly, that's just what she did when she returned to American Idol to showcase new single Live It Up, with your best friend (and featured artist), Pitbull. Jenny from the Block gave us beauty, personality, choreography, lasers and LIVE vocals! It's just a shame the song was pants, because everything else was on point.

The shady queen that is Mimi clearly wasn't as impressed as her fellow judges (or me) with what she saw; choosing to remain seated while they took to their feet at the song's end. One obviously hasn't forgiven Ms.Lopez (and Sony) for supposedly tanking the Glitter soundtrack. Get over it girl, Loverboy is awesome with the Candy sample! In fact, I think I'll get on my bandanna top and give it a spin now!

Mariah Carey Performs Medley @ American Idol

Mariah Carey singing At Idol


You better believe Mariah Carey was going to work that vast back catalogue of hers when she finally hit the American Idol stage to perform! With a vast chunk of the home audience probably being too young to remember Mariah's glory days in the 1990's, this was a smart move by the Diva to educate them (and any haters) as to just why she's deservedly sitting at the judges' table. The fact that it'll lift sales of her entire catalouge I'm sure had nothing to do with this decision(!)
