I Don't Mean to Be Rude, But...: Backstage Gossip from American Idol & the Secrets that Can Make You a Star

Vonzell Solomon (Leiber and Stoller - American Idol 4, Final 5, Song 1 of 2)

Vonzell Solomon
Song: Treat Me Nice Download 'Treat Me Nice' at iTunes Check out 'Treat Me Nice' at Amazon.com (Elvis Presley Download 'Elvis Presley' tracks at iTunes Check out 'Elvis Presley' at Amazon.com)


Vonzell Solomon sings 'Treat Me Nice' to the Idol panel. Randy and Paula do, Simon doesn't!

Vonzell takes one of Elvis' less well known songs and adds her own flavor to it.

Vocally it's another fine performance, with a happy, almost festive sounding arrangement which works a treat. The panel reaction is similar to last week's. Vonzell is appreciated by Randy and Paula and strangely dissed by Simon!

Panel-Bites:

Vonzell:  'Treat Me Nice' is the song I chose, written by Leiber and Stoller, made famous by Elvis Presley. I picked this song because it's going to show off my personality and I just want to have some fun this week.

Vonzell sings...

Randy Jackson:  Vonzell. All right. So, yo! I'm a pretty established record producer, been a musician all my life. All this kind of stuff...

Simon Cowell:  (Coughs loudly. Paula laughs)

Randy Jackson:  Yeah, they cough every time I say that. (Vonzell smiles) You know... tons of records. I've had a great, great career, still having one. That was one of the best vocals out of a song that I didn't even know! (Cheers and applause) This is a true mark... this is a true mark of someone trying to win something. I don't even barely know that song, and you made me like that song, and you made me interested 'cause you gave an incredible performance. That's how to win this, man!.

Vonzell:  Thank you. (More cheers)

Paula Abdul:  Having seen 'Smokey Joe's Cafe' probably a dozen times... it's one of the best fun musicals to go to... any musical producer out there would snatch you up in a minute, in a good positive way... (Vonzell laughs) ...to go on to Broadway.

Randy Jackson:   Yup.

Paula Abdul: You are the consummate performer.

Vonzell:  Thank you

Paula Abdul: With greet vocals. Great vocals.

Vonzell:  Thank you very much. (Cheers and applause)

Simon Cowell:  Ahm, I think Randy and me need to have a chat. Uhm, I thought there were elements of that performance which were very good, but overall for 'me', I actually thought it was a bit of a mess. (Groans from the audience and thumbs down from Vonzell supporters)

Randy Jackson:  What? ,,, What?

Simon Cowell:  I do. It was all a bit childish and cutesy and it was kind of all over the place...

Randy Jackson:  You mean vocally ? ...

Simon Cowell:  Yeah!

Randy Jackson:  ...Or do you mean acting-wise?

Simon Cowell:  I think the whole performance was a bit of a mess.

Paula Abdul: She was playful...

Randy Jackson:  (To Simon) Are you serious!

Paula Abdul: She was playful!!

Ryan Seacrest:  Vonzell Solomon.

Vonzell:  (To audience) I love you too! Thank you.

Ryan Seacrest:  Jackson, duke it out. This is where you guys come to blows. Come on, you've got to fight over that. This girl a year ago driving a mail truck, now she's going for the win on Idol...

Vonzell: (Waving as Ryan reads out the phone and text numbers) ... Hi everybody! USA Postal Service I love you!

Ryan Seacrest:  ...Who are you shouting out?

Vonzell: United States Postal Service! (Waving) I love you guys!

Ryan Seacrest:  We all love you.
