The flu bug hit the girl’s dressing room on American Idol this week, and it showed in last night’s performances. That’s really unfortunate because it means that we didn’t really get to hear what these women can do to the fullest of their abilities, but 2 of them are still going to be sent home. I have to say that I didn’t come out of this with a personal favorite - primarily because there wasn’t one “OMG” moment in the entire show for me. Again, I think that the flu bug may be a contributing factor to that, and that’s really a shame.

Here’s a run down of the girls and what they sang:

Kristy Lee Cook (24, Selma, OR) - “Rescue Me,” Fontella Bass

Joanne Borgella (25, Hoboken, NJ) - “I Say a Little Prayer,” Dionne Warwick

Alaina Whitaker (16, Tulsa, OK) - “More Today Than Yesterday,” Spiral Starecase

Amanda Overmyer (23, Mulberry, IN) - “Baby, Please Don’t Go,” Big Joe Williams

Amy Davis (25, Lowell, IN) - “Where the Boys Are,” Connie Francis

Brooke White (24, Mesa, AZ) - “Happy Together,” The Turtles

Alexandrea Lushington (17, Douglasville, GA) - “Spinning Wheel,” David Clayton-Thomas Combine / Blood, Sweat & Tears

Kady Malloy (18, Houston, TX) - “A Groovy Kind of Love,” Diane & Annita

Ramiele Malubay (20, Miramar, FL) - “You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me,” Dusty Springfield
