American Idol Round Up, top 11 performances.

American Idol top 11 had Miley Cyrus the “Hannah Montana” star as the guest mentor this week giving advice to the contestants. The decision to include the 17-year-old Disney star is a little awkward as she is so young and inexperienced compared to other pop stars that could have helped the contestants.

But obviously including Miley Cyrus did patch up some of the ratings of America’s most watched program as the shows ratings gets lower, this was an attempt to steal those young minds into opening the show.

To give credit to Miley, she did mention that she was not there to criticise the contestants voices but to help with there performances and to encourage them.

Now back to the American Idol contestants and this weeks theme was chart toppers, one of my personal favourites. Expecting a bunch of inexperienced people with good voices to perform well with some of the greatest hits of all time is one thing, but expecting great performances from arguably the worst bunch since American Idol started 9 years ago is another thing.

There were many under-performers such as early favourite Andres Garcia, Tim Urban and Paige Miles but some of the contestants shined like a golden nugget.
