jordin wishes on a star

Right to business tonight. Some footage of Jordin's trip home, in which the mayor reveals Simon's song choice for her. That means round one will consist of judges' choices. Let's see how it goes.

1. Jordin Sparks
Song: "Wishing on a Star"
Me: Kind of disappointed in Simon's song choice, I had pretty high hopes after he had such success pairing Kat McPhee with "Over the Rainbow" last year. Still, it's a classic Jordin performance, meaning strong vocals and especially contagious stage presence. Not an especially memorable one, though, and again I'm suprised Simon didn't choose something that would challenge her more vocally. We definitely saw a stronger showing in earlier weeks. Hopefully she'll peak at her third performance tonight.
Randy: "That was a very good vocal."
Paula: "Simon picked a good song for you."
Simon: "You sang it brilliantly, Jordin....even though I chose the song, Jordin, it wasn't actually one of your better performances."
Score: 7/10

I really think that Jordin hurt Simon's feelings when she said that she didn't know the song and when she heard it (meaning, when she heard his rec that she sing it) she grimaced and said, "ooookaaaaay......" Did you see Simon's face? I think he interpreted her comment to mean that when she heard the song for the first time she had that reaction. What do you think? I DVR AI, so I can watch these ridiculous nuances over and over.
