Last night, the Top 11 contestants performed on American Idol .  They did country songs and, for the most part, it went a lot better than I was expecting.  I have to say, however, that the weird new entrance with the voice announcing the judges and them walking out onto the stage is ...

American Idol 8 Top 11 – Alexis Grace — Idol Stalker
Alexis Grace chose “ Jolene” by Dolly Parton which didn’t surprise me too much but I didn’t like the arrangement or the performance.   It was okay but it could have been a lot better. Randy said there were a lot of pitch problems and the arrangement didn’t quite work.  Kara ...
