American Idol Frowns on Lacey Brown

Following Tuesday night’s American Idol performances , and given how average a lot of them were, it isn’t surprising to see Lacey Brown go on last night’s results show. The pastor’s daughter from Texas got no love from the judges or the fans for her cover of “Ruby Tuesday,” landing in the bottom three with Tim Urban and Paige Miles. Urban would’ve been equally deserving of a pink slip, but this isn’t The Bachelor , where they make up rules on the fly. One stays, one goes. Nice knowing you, Lacey. Ryan announced the return of the “Judges Save” option, allowing the esteemed panel to reverse decisions if fans really, really screw up, but it was not used on Brown. Instead, she sang farewell to her attempt at stardom with Brandi Carlile’s “The Story,” an emotional track prominently featured on Grey’s Anatomy a few seasons ago. Lacey Brown bids American Idol farewell. If Brown and her bottom three cohorts underscored anything, it was how dramatic the dropoff is in talent from the top handful to the rest of the pack. Here’s how we see the remaining finalists going forward, grouped into tiers … The Contenders Crystal Bowersox Siobhan Magnus Michael Lynche Casey James Should Hang Around Awhile Didi Benami Lee DeWyze Andrew Garcia Bottom Three Calling Any Day Now Paige Miles Aaron Kelly Katie Stevens Tim Urban

Lacey Brown Profile: Can Her Sometimes-‘Sleepy’ Performances Stand Up To The ‘Idol’ Competition?

‘American Idol’ Top 12 cheat sheet looks at Brown’s strengths and weaknesses. By Jim Cantiello Lacey Brown at the “American Idol” top 12 party Photo: Jesse Grant/ WireImage On Thursday night, “American Idol” revealed its Top 12 Finalists for the ninth season of the hit show. MTV News “Idol” expert Jim Cantiello whipped up a handy cheat sheet for each finalist, breaking down each candidate’s journey thus far. He also got the “Idol” hopefuls to weigh in when he caught up with them at Thursday night’s Top 12 Party in Hollywood. Lacey Brown With her fiery red hair, icy cool blue eyes and a flair for animal prints, “American Idol” contestant Lacey Brown stands out in a lineup. And when she opens her mouth, Lacey gets even more interesting. In a 90-second performance, Brown’s high-pitched tone can recall everyone from Patsy Cline to Gwen Stefani to Cyndi Lauper. Best Performance : Lacey’s recent Brandi Carlile performance proved that the girl with the squeaky voice is capable of quiet triumphs. Sitting still on the side of the stage, crooning “The Story” like she lived every word, Lacey finally showed America why she deserved a spot in the Top 24. Weakest Performance : A bout of nerves turned Lacey’s “Landslide” into a natural disaster. “Idol” is lucky Fleetwood Mac didn’t call and ask for their song rights back. Sad Backstory : Lacey just missed out on being part of the eighth season of “Idol,” where she was cut in favor of another offbeat pretty girl, Megan Joy. ‘American Idol’ Top 12 Party Why She Will Win : Lacey’s ability to play to the camera is effortless. Her hypnotic gaze and irresistible smile lull you in and make you forget you’re watching “American Idol.” Why She Will Lose : Lacey Brown’s performances may be too subtle for the “Idol” stage. When Siobhan Magnus is wailing like a banshee, Lacey’s sleepy offerings run the risk of putting viewers to sleep. What She Should Sing : I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. Lacey should study Yael Naim’s music-box version of Britney Spears’ “Toxic.” On Her Strategy To Navigate The Upcoming Theme Weeks : “What I try to do is stay true to myself, stay true to my voice … pick songs that I really like to perform and be creative with the arrangements and really just do it for the people watching, because that’s what’s really important.” Get your “Idol” fix on MTV News’ “American Idol” page , where you’ll find all the latest news, interviews and opinions.
