92. Kady Malloy
Season 7, Top 16 FinalistSo much potential. So. Much. Dang. Potential!
Everyone knows that the worst idea ever on this show was the season 7 themed semifinals, and it definitely killed Kady. If only it had been open just like every other season - then we could've heard Kady sing something like My Immortal or What Hurts the Most. If you've never heard her sing those songs, YouTube them now! They're great. Haha.
That being said, I still think Kady could've made some smarter song choices on the show. Her audition was amazing but she just faltered after that. A Groovy Kind Of Love was good. Sure, it wasn't pefect, but I thought it was one of the better performances that night. I actually didn't agree with the judges on that one.Then Magic Man happened and everyone started hating Kady. Yes, it was a trainwreck but the hate during that time towards her, especially after Alaina Whitaker got eliminated instead of her, was ridiculous.
After that, she somehow redeemed herself with a decent take on Queen's Who Wants To Live Forever. It was almost as good as Katharine McPhee's version. However, I still wanted to punch her in the face for picking that song. I mean, why didn't she pick Time After Time or Open Arms? Again, YouTube it. Haha. Those would've been great choices. Predictably, she was sent packing the next night.Such a shame. I really wanted her to do good. Seriously, I would have preferred her over Kristy Lee Cook.
Favorite Performance(s): Obviously, I fell in love with her during the auditions. Her 'Britney Spears' impersonation was so spot on, I didn't believe it at first. Haha. A Groovy Kind of Love was probably her best performance on the Idol stage though.
Audition
A Groovy Kind of Love
