By DAvid Table of contents for 2/American Idol Andrea and Katherine American Idol / March 25 Review American Idol/ Tuesday April 8 This week’s performances left me wondering who is going to demonstrate on a consistent basis that they have what it takes to be the next American Idol. Jordin was doing it week after week at this stage last year. And so was Melinda for that matter. Michael Johns sang Dream On and once again did a popular version of a song almost as good as the original. I am beginning to wonder if he has any original bones in his body. Please Michael could you add your special flair to a song just one time. You do have something special for us don’t you? Syesha Mercado sang I Believe and made a good choice. The judges liked Fantasia’s version better. We th...
