Brandon, here's a tip: If you're going to perform first, you gotta do like Randy says and "bring it."
The former back-up singer for big names like Usher, Christina Aguilera and Anastacia isn't quite ready for the big time, according to AOL users.
The results of this week's
American Idol Top 12 poll put Brandon at the bottom of the pack with just three percent of users choosing him as their favorite.
Stephanie and Haley haven't fared much better. They're tied with four percent. Even though they've got decent vocal chops, neither girl has really connected with viewers. And Haley's meltdown after forgetting the lyrics to 'Missing You' couldn't have won her much sympathy.
Right now Sanjaya -- and his inexplicably permed hair -- is among the top six. Talk amongst yourselves about that one.

She did indeed butcher that song
last night. She sounded like someone
trying to do a sexy song for a Disney cartoon about animals.
Chris, Paris, Taylor, and Katherine all did
great. I'm not the biggest Chris fan because I think if he wins he'll do songs that sound like Creed or Lifehouse, and
I'd rather jam pencils in my ears, but he sang that song perfectly. Taylor and Katherine both did really well, and
Paris? Paula actually nailed it (yeah, surprising!) when she said that Paris should release an album of standards. I
said that on
the night Paris auditioned. She
really sings that type of song great, and it will make her timeless. I hope they don't ruin her by making her a
"pop" star.
The bottom three will probably be Kellie (definitely), Eliott, and Ace. If Kellie
stays, the voters are insane, and I'm never watching this show again. (Elliott and Ace will be going home in the coming
weeks though - no way they'll win).
Oh, and on another note: how in the world was last night a "Rod
Stewart Night?" Seriously, the guy releases a few albums of standards and that qualifies as "Rod Stewart
night?" Maybe they should have just called it "American Standards Night" or something. But I guess they
want the big name and want to push his album. Hell, a few years ago, Pat Boone released a album of hard rock covers. If
they have a "Pat Boone Night," will it be all hard rock songs?
Stewart was right when at one point
he said "you sang that better than I do!" Um, yeah Rod,
everyone sings these songs better than you.
