American Idol 2010: Randy Jackson loves ‘fearless’ Siobhan Magnus (Superstition Video)
We knew when she was awarded the coveted last spot of the night that the producers must have high hopes for kooky underdog Siobhan Magnus.
On last night’s live show the 19 year old gave us a blast of Stevie Wonder’s Superstitious, which is a great track, but also a reality TV staple. Siobhan sported a very different hairstyle for the show and for a while it felt like the plot of She’s All That, where the dorky kid gets a makeover and ends up looking hot. Or was that Not Another Teen Movie?
There’s no doubt that Siobhan has quickly become a player in this game we call ‘Idol. Great voice, but she needs to stop leaning on that screechy high note at the end of every bloody song.
Judges Comments:
Randy Jackson: I’m always so excited to see you because you’re so fearless. I never would have thought you’d have sung that song, but you know what? I’m happy that you did.
Ellen DeGeneres: To quote Oliver, “More, please!” You’re just so good. I love you.
Kara DioGuardi: You express yourself every time you perform and I think you’re more comfortable there than you are anywhere else in your life. I don’t think it was your best performance, but that end note that you do? How do you not say that’s amazing?
Simon Cowell: I think there’s going to be a real split with you on this one, Siobhan. Some people will like it, and I’m afraid that a lot of people won’t. And this singing with the screaming at the end. It’s like you’ve got to reverse it. Maybe start the song next week with the screaming at the start and get softer. I’m going to say this to you and all the contestants. You’ve got to start puching yourselves now, you’ve got to start choosing better songs and you’ve got to make yourselves relevant……..because tonight was not a good night overall.
