Jim Cantiello's Didi review.
 http://newsroom.mtv.com/2010/03/17/america...rolling-stones/ QUOTE Didi Benami Song: "Play With Fire" Verdict: Smokin' Hot Didi debuted a new look for Rolling Stones week: A stank-faced Jersey mallrat from the '80s! Go back and check out at her outfit again, folks. The ponytail pulled to one side, the lacey tank top with weathered jeans, the angry "Don't you dare buy the same fuschia prom dress from Contempo Casuals as me" snarl. The girl was one scrunchie and two cans of AquaNet away from being Kevin Smith's childhood girlfriend. I don't mean to take away from her ferocious performance. "Play With Fire" gave Didi an exciting edge that had been missing from the emotional crooner. Too bad she got all "Nell" on the third verse, singing, "Old burp tooka diamonds and tiaras by the score. Now he Tourette's a kicks in snidney, knocks bridge alamore!" Can you blame her for getting distracted? While she was performing with an intensity that burned through my TV screen, the audience swayed like they were part of a Time Life "Songs 4 Worship" commercial. Ugh! (Also ugh: When Benami pretty much hiccuped during the final note. No wonder Mommy Benami is too nervous to watch her daughter sing live.) After the judges gave Didi rave reviews, Seacrest asked if Siobhan, her roommate, was rubbing off on her. (Imagine if he had asked Kris the same question about his roomie, Adam. The "Idol" Internet would have exploded.) Didi insisted that she has grown some tough skin from living in Los Angeles. This tough skin grew in a week's time, because during the semi-finals Didi was acting like another Rolling Stones song: "19th Nervous Breakdown." --------------------

QUOTE(o0itzAnGiE @ Mar 17th 2010, 2:37 PM)   That's a good review. He makes some good points though. It seems like Didi is gaining more confidence each week. Dark horse?  --------------------

Jim's funny (he's right about the hiccuping
), but I prefer Slezak.  QUOTE(IdolFan4Carrie @ Mar 17th 2010, 3:39 PM) That's a good review. He makes some good points though. It seems like Didi is gaining more confidence each week. Dark horse? With Siobhan being a front-runner now, Didi is most definitely the dark horse. Especially if she continues in the direction she's currently in. --------------------
