ramiele: alone at the top?

First up? Ramiele, who was born in Saudi Arabia. She also used to bite kids. That could include Danny Noriega. Maybe.

Song: "Alone"

Me: Not necessarily the best song choice, especially since Carly Smithson nailed this song earlier this season. Still, she follows through and delivers what the judges have asked for during the entire top 12 stage -- more belting. It's probably her strongest performance in recent weeks, but she doesn't deviate too much from the original version of the song. And I'm not sure I'm entirely sold on her belting. It borders on shrieking at times. I still like Carrie Underwood's version better, but this is one of Ramiele's personal bests.

Randy: "It wasn't the right song choice for you for me."

Paula: "I'm really glad that America's heard you sing and how big your voice is."

Simon: "After what you sang last week...then you're going to get through again on that performance."

Yeah, not a good song choice. But she wasn't as bad as Randy said. Yikes! Cute outfit, though. I'll think she'll stay.

It seems like this year Randy may be more negative and harsh than Simon. Not necessarily more right, though.

I like this song! and she's got such a smoky beautiful voice and this song shows the deep, sultry tones and her stronger belter voice. she did shriek a bit on the high notes... unfortunately.

this is like a constant marrie go-round. she's in danger then she's not, she' in danger then she's not. she needs to pick the right song. if she were healthy she could've sung heart's "magic man" or "baracuda."

I like this song, but I think she lacked the personality she had last week.
