Phillip Phillips: Not Afraid of "Superstition" on American Idol

Posted on March 8, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Did American Idol save its best for last Wednesday? Maybe not quite, but with Phillip Phillips closing the show with a rock version of the Stevie Wonder classic “Superstition,” it certainly went out on a high note. The song has been done on the show before, he acknowledged, but never like this. On a night when the contestants honored Stevie and Whitney Houston , most went the ballad / traditional route or played to the songs’ R&B roots. Not Phillip. Watch the night’s most energetic (if not the best) performance below: Phillip Phillips – Superstition (American Idol Top 13) He’s the “most different” artist they’ve got, according to the judges, and a strong talent to boot. P-squared should be a lock to advance after this … agree?

Posted on March 8, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Jessica Sanchez sang Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” on American Idol this week, and with it, may have established herself as the Season 11 frontrunner. Seriously. If Jessica Sanchez wasn’t in your Top 5 heading into Wednesday night, she is now. It was awesome, in one word. Don’t believe us? Take it from the panel: Jennifer Lopez: [at a loss for words] “Just, just amazing.” Randy Jackson: “This is one of the hardest songs to sing.” Steven Tyler: “You may be The One. You just made 40 million people cry.” LOL. Try 20 million at best, Steve … which is no small feat of course. In any case, listen to the nearly flawless performance and try to hold back the tears below … Jessica Sanchez – “I Will Always Love You” (American Idol Top 13)

Will Hollie Cavanagh Get All the Votes That She Needs?

Posted on March 8, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

American Idol’s Hollie Cavanagh struggled a bit in her mentoring session, but she came through with flying colors on Dusty Springfield’s “All The Man That I Need.” Hollie definitely exudes a kind of Dusty Springfield vibe, both with her looks and with the arrangements she’s given, so it certainly works for her and then some. Mentor Mary J. Blige must have gotten through to her, as she gave Jessica Sanchez a run for her money for the night’s most complete female performance. “That’s the Hollie that I know from last year and this year,” said a wowed Jennifer Lopez, who’s predicting her for the finale after the following effort … Hollie Cavanagh – “All The Man That I Need” (American Idol Top 13)
