omg, i see that i forgot to mention emmy- she is ONLY there cause of her “heritage” thats all.
sweet girl but horrible singer. and i didnt like that she sang “coal miner’s daughter” in basically one note. hated it.
tell me that you….
….
listened to the link/song. its a great song.
The Abi performance in my opinion was the best performance of the whole season (Not even close), yes it was that good. The popularity of emmy is very confusing to me, I just don't get it. And I think we found out mckennah isn't popular. Those are the three things that really stuck with me overall from this week in my opinion.
agreed, so, here is my…….
….
take on the show.
i just watched it and OMG what is this show doing to me? im crying like a baby at the very end! lol.
here we go….
- Will - I LOVED ITTTTT!!!!! i thought it was the bomb. the band’s music had a little mix of “she’s got the goldmine, i got the shaft” by jerry reed. do you recall that song? if not, its a great one, please click here to listen to it. my hubby, who rarely sings, if we ever go to karaoke, does a hell of a job on this song.. here ya go..
The fact that she was bottom 2 was surprising. Although every year there are 1 or two singers that in theory should go much farther than they do, but for whatever reason they are unpopular. It does say the chances of her winning the show are now highly unlikely. Probably she will be out by next week.
To be fair I thought mckennah song last night was very boring. The judges were going nuts how great the song is. and I just didn't get it, and neither did America Apparently. It was also a very disjointed song the way it was done. So maybe people vote based on week to week, and if that's the case she wasn't great last night with that song, than again I don't think anybody could be in my opinion. Granted I just think she is unpopular, but the song didn't help in my opinion.
holy moly! first of all… .
…
i still have to watch the show tonight, but you said jack is growing on you, i told you, from the start, if you look away, he is really good and unique.
wow, they voted mckennah out? but judges saved her? wow. shocking, i was sure she was top 3
My take on Monday's show
Here goes.
1) Will- Picked a JC Song, wouldn't of been the choice out of the three choices he had. Was good for what it was. But every song seemingly sounds the same, the only difference is the words for me at this point. Solid performance though, but would be better with a better song. Grade B-
2) Kaibrienne- Sings a more current hit by OR. I thought she picked the right song when I seen her choices. Having said that I liked it in parts, but she pitchey in a number of parts too. Thankfully she didn't break down when she got emotional this time so that is a plus I guess. Just barely above average pitch issues held it obviously back for me. Grade C+
3) Mckennah-Would of made a different choice on the song if I was her. I didn't like the song or at least the way she did it was a combo of boring and disjointed. Her voice sounded fine on it, so made it solid, but that is all it could be on a song like that and too be fair I might be being generous with the grade here. Grade B-
4) Jack- Didn't love any of his choices on the board, but felt he picked the best out of the bunch. He tries singing without his guitar, can't remember him doing that, now at times he didn't know what to do with his hands. Having said all that it really didn't matter his best vocal to date. I really love it. Great vocal with good emotional feel coming off it. Near excellent. Now he is starting to grow on me, because he backed it up with the previous night that I liked as well, although this performance was significantly better. Grade A-
5) Abi- This was the most obvious song choice out of the three choices of anyone. I think she obviously picked the right song. Also happens to be one of my many favorite songs again. I loved how she sang the song, she felt it throughout the performance, it almost like the judges said felt like we weren't watching a competition, but a live concert of a star that has allready made it. It was really good for me. Excellent. Grade A
6) Julia- Singing OTR, she had a very unique take on the song. I really really liked the performance, but admittingly I can see some people not liking her version. But I loved the performance with the excellent vocal control she had in it. Near Excellent. Grade A-
7) Triston- Didn't love his tone on that song, as it was very nasally for me. Just average for me. Grade C
8) Emmy Sings her grandmother's song. Emotionally well delivered, but her tone is only gonna make it so good, but it was better than some performance. Slightly above average. Grade C+
The Duets
1) Jack and Emmy- First Duet was jack and emmy. Singing a LR song, in fact my favorite song from LR. Jack sounded good, and Emmy was a unmitigated disaster on the duet.
2) Triston and Will- Sing a LB Song. Didn't love the song. I thought Will sounded much better and clearer than Triston. But performance didn't exactly show off the best of either in my opinion.
3) Julia, Abi, Mckennah, and Kaibrienne- Sing a KP Song together. Kaibrienne sticks out like a sore thumb, because of how much the other 3 can out sing her in my opinion.
My Bottom 2
Emmy-Would of been my cut.
Kaibrienne-
The actual bottom 2
Kaibrienne- Can't say I'm surprised.
Mckennah- A little surprised to say the least, guess she isn't popular. Although her song was a bit boring last night, but still don't get how people like emmy voice over her's.
KP (Judges) Save Mckennah, which was the right choice.
Well that is my thoughts for last night's show. Just my opinion of course.
my take on sunday’s show….
…
first of all, i had no idea that was Shania Twain until they said so. wigs, faces altered, strange stuff.
- mia- you hated it and i agree, it was horrible.
- jack- you loved it and my (late) mom used to LOVE that song so we sang it at karaoke. anyway, i didnt love it as much as i thought i would, being you loved it.
- mckennah- you loved it, but i thought it started way too low for her, but it got way better. you can hear she is still sick and i get that as, 2 weeks later, im still dealing with the pneumonia part of this mess i caught.
- kayko- horrible
- emmy- nope
- triston- you said the band was too loud but i heard him pretty good. he did too much reaching out to the crowd and he is heavy, so, he got winded. if he is heavy now,he will be huge later. that may be an issue for him. also, his “dancing” was a little odd for me.
- abi- it was oddly good
- julia- nope
- will- wow, i LOVED it. you were not as thrilled.
- kaib- more sappy crap and sooooo boring.
- as you said, mia and kayko go bye bye, lol
i think its between mckennah and …
…
triston. triston is young and they want young, to mold and be their puppet. so i wonder if he will win.
i knew that funny face would…..
…
grow on you.
I'm not sure he grew on me, I would have to like him more than 1 performance to say that, a lot of contestants can have a good performance along the way. Plenty of these contestants it is up and down with. with some having more ups or more down depending on the contestant. Heck alot of the contestants that have been eliminated allready I felt the ups and downs.
Kaibrienne-mixed
Jack-mixed still slightly on the glass half empty
Emmy-mixed still slightly on the glass half empty
The other 5 are varying degrees of positive right now. With mckennah being my favorite out of the bunch in my opinion.
i knew that funny face would…..
…
grow on you.
i will watch tonight after the hubby hits the hey, stay tuned.
My Take on Last Night's Show
The top 10 performed last night at the end they cut it to 8. before a further cut tomorrow after another round of performances. Here goes.
1) Mia- Singing a ST song. It was pitchey mess for me. Well below average. Worst performance of the night for me and not even close. Grade D
2) Jack- Funny face guy than performs, as One know I'm not his biggest fan. And I don't always love his tone, combined with the facial expressions. Having said that I love the arrangement, and his interpetaion of the song, with him putting his version on it, sounded very good to me. Best we heard from him so far. Very good. Grade B+
3) Mckennah- Singing a GGD Song, one of my many favorite songs. I really love how she sang that song, and the vocal was really really good. Near excellent performance for me. Grade A-
4) Kayko- Thankfully he didn't do that crazy rendition of BS Song, that would of been a trainwreck of monumental proportions. Having said that the vocal was fine on the song he choose. But his manic performing style and a little too theatrical for me. Just average at best. Once he stopped singing his own songs (Obviously can't with the themes), he in my opinion has fallen off a cliff. Grade C
5) Emmy- I'm not her biggest fan. Here's a positive for the first time it looked like she was having fun on a stage. So that is a plus. I liked the song choice for her (Not a song would you expect her to choose), and it was solid for me. Still her tone will only get me so positive. Grade B-
6) Triston- Singing a JA Song. In my opion the band was too loud in the beginnign and drowned him out in parts. Overal the vocal was decent and the performance was decent. Solid performance. Grade B-
7) ABI- I continue to say she is one of the strangest singers in the competiton. Singing a CP song. She had a numbers of decent moments in the song, but didn't love all the vocal choices. And a little pitchey in small parts of the song. Still Solid. Grade B-
8) Julia- Singing a BA Song. I continue to say she has the best voice when she doesn't power up. Overall I liked it very good vocal and performance. Grade B+
9) Will- Singing a TT Song. Overall I thought it was pretty good. Not my favorite song though. Good, not great. Grade B
10) Kaibreinne- Singing another one of my many favorite song. Good song choice, and a good performance for her. She has her ups and downs for me, but this week more up than down. Grade B
My Bottom 2
Mia
Kayko
The Actual Bottom 2
Mia- Obvious choice
Kayko- In recent weeks, with his manic performances, he has fell in my rankings.
Well this is my take. All is just my opinion of course.
so, today i took a…
…
little short cut. i just feel so awful, i never really got to feel better and in the last few hours, i feel worse, so i watched them sing here on line as youtube had an American idol youtube page. they showed all but the ones that got the boot (jayna and roman) so i didnt see them..
- abi- meh
- will- pitchy but a fun song
- jack- i like it
- emmy- i just do NOT like her voice, its like she’s on helium.
- triston- good but not great this time.
- julia- it was ok but boring
- kaib- boring and off key
- mckenna- still sick but did quite well. she and triston are my favs, i may have said that before but im sure now.
- kayko- i just do not like this guy and it was awful
Well it is not shocking that it wasn't as good in my opinion. You would spend more time preparing your first song, since it was the first one that you would perform and wouldn't know if you were gonna be there for the 2nd song. Hence more prep work and thought would have to go to the 1rst song on sunday for the simple reason if you don't do good there you might not be around to sing on Monday.
wow, sounded like a bit of a….
…
bust and i will watch it wed night, stay tuned.
My Take on last night's show
Well here is my take on last night's show.
1) Abi- Singing a TS Song. Started off a little slow and boring. Than when she got to the middle to end it was a bit pitchey in parts. She has been much better alot of times, including on sunday where she was really good. This one however was just Average for me. Grade C
2) Will- Sining a CS Song, much better than the previous night. Good vocal and Good performance. Grade B
3) Jayna- A very good vocal, not perfect, but very good. Good stage presence as well. Grade B+
4) Mia- As you know I'm not her biggest fan. But I really liked her on that song. Her tone actually sounded good on that song. Good and well controlled vocal. Very good performance, by far the best we heard her. Grade B+
5) Roman- He tried to totally strip down a KP Song at first with him on the piano. The vocal started off with a not sound very good vocal on the piano, that than transitioned into his usual overdone yelling and screaming once he left the piano. Didn't like it was an understatement. Well below average. Grade D
6) Jack- Funny face guy is back at it. His prenunciation wasn't great, and I didn't like the arrangement of the song. His vocal was just okay at best. Overall slightly below average. Grade C-
7) Emmy- Don't like her tone on this song for starters. I found that somewhat hard to listen too. Below average for me. Grade D+
8) Triston- Started off a little flat for me. It got better once it got going. But still the whole performance was missing something. Not his best to say the least. Slightly above average. Grade C+
9) Julia- Not a perfect vocal, but very very good. Might have the best voice in the competition when she is not powering up. Clear and cut through perfectly. Everyonce in a while she can still confuse power with yelling/screaming. As for this performance for the most part it was very good. She has a really good two days in my opinion, she made a move up my standings. Grade B+
10) Kaibreinne- Singing a MC Song, his some bad notes along the way, also hit some good ones two. But the song in my opinion was too big for her. Her voice is cracking because it is too big for her, and the judges for some reason loved it. can't say I got that very much. Barely average for me and I might be being generous. Grade C
11) Mckennah- Obviously still fighting being sick. But overall I think she pulled off the vocal pretty well and like the performance. I found it very good. Grade B+
12) Kayko- Where Julie and Jayna had A good week in my view, Kayko had a bad week. First I didn't think think the vocal was bad at all. Problem is he changed this song to a rock song, I have to be honest I didn't like it that way. And his performance style was very manic which I also didn't like. It was so over the top it was just too much for me. The judges loved it. I just thought it was average. Grade C
My Bottom 2
Roman
Emmy
The two that were eliminated
Roman-Obviously agree
Jayna- Strongly disagreed with this choice, she sings well, she just wasn't popular in my opinion.
Anyways that is my take on last night's show. All is just my opinion of course.
wowza! i just finished the…
..
show, sooooo, here we goooo!
- triston (you liked it) and I LOVED IT! but he was just a little weak right at the end.
- julia- (you loved it) and wow wow wow, omg, you were spot on. it was amazing.
- roman- started off good but seemed he forgot some words? then boom the song was over. not sure what just happened there. lol
- kaib- she looked amazing but a “rocker” she is NOT. but she did ok
- jayna- it was excellent actually!
- mia- you gave this one a “d” but i actually liked it. its country “twang” so maybe thats what was off for you? that “dragging up” the notes, its twangy and meant to be that way.
- kayko- nope
- emmy- looked beautiful but was horrible.
- jordan - NOPE!
- mckennah- i love her in general but due to her cold, she was not great, but she deserves a pass. i hope she stays. i have not seen tonights show yet. i will tomorrow.
- jack (funny face, lol).. he is really growing on me.. i loved it.
- nya- ok, that was a big time full on PRO performance right there! i am impressed!
- will- yipes, you were so right. it was not good, in fact, it was bad. sigh.
- abi- you loved it. i thought it was hauntingly good.
my fav is triston. he should win the show. but if not, i would love to se mckennah take it.
you are so sweet. you really are.
do you read my replies back to you? you are so quiet, im never really sure. but i love chatting with you about all this.
I do read the replies, just often don't have much to say to add, because there were no question asked or at least I didn't think you were looking for a reply.
you cracked me up when you said “a sprinkle of screaming”!! im over here hacking up a lung (laughing) since im still dealing with pneumonia, lol.
Hope you feel better by the way.
im sad that you say Will wasnt very good. but he was a bit pitchy at times before and stuff. but i think triston is the one to beat, he is young, dedicated to this and is what American needs. im looking forward to watching tonight.
I don't think he was terrible. He was decent, just for him I expect better. I personally didn't love the song for him. As I felt it did nothing for him. Song choice is such a factor to whether a performance is good. True better singers have bigger windows (More songs that will sound good) than lesser singers, but at the end of the day if the right song isn't choosen it will hold everyone back to varying degrees.
but i think triston is the one to beat
I like him, but I'm not sure he would make my top 5 if I'm being honest. he is right around 5-7 in my rankings right now. But I think America will have him higher than me. All is just my opinion of course.
I LOVED YOUR ….

review here. Im going to watch it tonight after the hubby hits the sack.

My Take on the show last night
Well the top 14 Sang last night at the end of it they announced the bottom 2. and we were left with 12 at the end of the night. so here goes.
1) Triston- Singing a EP Song, anytime generally somebody covers a EP Song in these competitions I generally always find it to be a trainwreck. Now in this case, overall I like it. It was more different than his normal routine as he was moving around the stage alot more. He sang well, don't always love his tone at times. But it was still good. Grade B
2) Julia- Have to admit didn't know WH was in the R & R HOF, don't get me wrong she was a great singer one of the best in my lifetime ever, but she is not a R & R singer. Which means they put alot of non R & R singers there I guess. Sang one of the big 3 from perhaps the greatest soundtrack of all time at least one of them. A Very Very good vocal, on a high degree of difficultly song. I thought it was near excellent. Sang very well. Grade A-
3) Roman- I really didn't like the way he sang that song, and the arrangement. At usual it was completely overdone. I found it slight below average. Grade C-
4) Kaibrienne- Actually one of the few that sang a real rock song in my opinion by JJ. Been up and down with her, because at time she doesn't control her emotion on stage very well, like last week with the stop and starts. But this week singing a non original song, and more of a non ballad. I thought she did very well on the song. I thought it was very good vocal and performance from her. Her best to date in my opinion. Grade B+
5) Jayna- Singing another WH song from the big 3 from the great soundtrack. She did a very good job singing that song on a high degree of a difficultly. Very good vocal. I liked it alot. Grade A-
6) Mia- She is pitchey and her tone isn't very good on that song. Well below average. Really didn't like it, one of the worst performances of the night in my opinion. Grade D
7) Kayko- Singing a RH Song. First time he was singing a cover, and not an original song. Normally I really, really like him, however I thought this was his weakest perfromance to date. Don't love the song, and didn't love how he did it. Just average for me. Grade C
8) Emmy- Singing a big BR Hit. She was making progress the last couple of weeks. But I thought her tone was not great on this, a little pitchy and whiney in parts. below average. Grade D+
9) Jordan- Singing yet another WH Song. Not a perfect vocal and several issues in parts. His falsetto could use improvement. I liked him better in the beginning of the competition than I do now. Slightly above average and I might be being generous. Grade C+
10) Mckennah- Singing one of my favorite songs from this group. They said she was sick, and too be honest it appeared she still was even now. Having said that, I still thought the vocal was really solid, and it gave off emotion as well. I thought it was good overall. Grade B
11) Jack- Singing a BD Song. Funny face guy, don't love his tone on that song. Medicore vocal for me. Thought that was the wrong song for him. Just average. Grade C
12) Nya- Singing a AF Song, a combo of pitchey, a not so great song, with a sprinkle of screaming. Didn't like her arrangement of the song either. Judges love it, I just don't get it. Well Below Average for me. Grade D
13) Will- Might of been his weakest performance to date. Not my favorite song for him to say the least. Still solid as his quality tone and good voice will make the performance only fall so far though. Grade B-
14) Abi- Singing a EJ Classic. I continue to say she is one of the strangest/unique singers I have ever heard, she takes alot of unusual vocal choices throughout the song. As for this song I liked it, it was emotional and perhaps a little eerie in a good way. Very good vocal, near excellent perfromance for me. Grade A-
My Bottom 2
Nya
Mia
The Actual Bottom 2
Nya and Jordan
Well today the top 12 will sing again for 10 spots. Time will tell. All is just my opinion of course.
i just watched it, so…..
….
i found it to be more enjoyable than i expected, just the general setting, the way they went through them, tossed them on stage with “handlers” putting a mic in front of them, guitar on them, etc. it was fun.
now, im mostly posting the names of who i liked tonight and then a couple “comments” outside of that..
- mckenna - i really like her a lot, and she did good. so classy and cool too.
- jack, yes, funny face didnt do that but still had a ton of foamy spit around all his teeth, makes him so hard to watch, but he did good.
- mia, very good.
- Will - YIPPY!! so glad but he did hit a couple pitchy notes. i noticed several doing that, as some times the mic was too low and i dont think they could hear themselves.
- abi - it was good, she slipped on the louder notes, but good.
(NOT- emma - she should NOT have gone through and what the hell was she wearing? lol. )
- triston - YIPPY! again, the mic was not loud enough, he did great but a tad pitchy too.
roman, who i dont care for the spazziness, did put out an over the top emotional song, but its way way over the top too the point it was embarrassing. he looked like he was about to murder someone.
I'm fine. I'm not sick. Not feeling that great was towards the mental state of contestant after hearing they didn't make it. My problem was I used the word I which clearly was wrong and see how you came to that conclusion. Than again nobody ever confused me with a great writter. LOL. My strength has always been numbers in my opinion.
wow, ok, well, i will skim the…
…
show since you gave great details on it. i hope you are not getting what i have. its no fun, throat gets like hot needle poke feeling, in the lower throat, that makes you cough so hard, your eyes pop out. take vit d3 and zinc.
Last Night's Show
Now the top 10 get through by America, the next 4 by the judges. All 20 had to sing, although I have to honest wasn't much of a grader on these, because either they were singing through, i made it, hence this performance doesn't matter that much, or I didn't make it, and I'm not feeling that great right now. So I watched performances, but some of them sang songs, they allready sung. And quite frankly as a whole the performances weren't great but to be fair given the conditions I stated earlier, your not gonna get the best results out of anyone at that point, with basic human nature in my opinion.
Since It was a top 10 (My Top 10 would of been) (No Particular order)
1) Triston
2) Odell
3) Kayko
4) Jordan
5) Quintavious
6) Jayna
7) Abi
8) Will
9) Mckennah
10) Julie
The top 10 America set through
1) Mckennah-agreed
2) Jack- Funny face guy would of made my top 14, but not my top 10.
3) Mia-Wouldn't of made the top 14 let alone the top 10. She is not very good alot of times don't get what America is seeing there.
4) Kayko- agreed
5) Will-agreed
6) Abby- agreed
7) Kaibrienne- Ms. Stop and Start, obviously wouldn't be part of my top 10 or top 14. America clearly disagreed here. I thought what she did in that song, should of been automatically eliminated you forget a bunch of word or you come to a screeching halt and just sit there for a few seconds multiple times. You in my opinion should not make it through. The funny thing is she actually sounded her best with the performance tonight, after getting the news she went through. Is it because she wasn't singing a original song (Cover) Let her perform better, or is it that she didn't have the pressure since she knew she was in, hence all of a sudden she had better control of the emotions. Time will tell.
8) Emmy- Would of made my top 14, but not my top 10.
9) Julie- agreed
10) Triston- agreed
The other 10 sing, as I said I personally didn't put much stock into last night's performance, so I would of made my top 4 picks based on how I feel about the contestants overall.
Too be fair I would of taken
1) Odell
2) Jayna
3) Jordan
4) To be honest could of been 2 to 4 people for that last spot so was kind of indifferent.
The Judges took
1) Jayna-Absolutely Agreed
2) Jordan-Absolutely Agreed
3) Nya- Judges love her, all I hear is a bunch of pitch issues with a bit of screaming most times she goes out there for me. Wouldn't of been my choice.
4) Roman- Judges loved him last night. I thought it was more of the same. Over the top, and manic. I would of passed on him as well, but the judges loved it.
So the top 14 turned out to be.
1) Mckennah
2) Jack
3) Mia
4) Kayko
5) Will
6) Abby
7) Kaibrienne
8) Emmy
9) Julie
10) Triston
11) Jayna
12) Jordan
13) Nya
14) Roman
Anyways well hope you feel better. That is my take. Most of the performances as whole last night weren't that great. But you couldn't expect them to be. Either they are excited and going through the motions, or disappointed/nervous they didn't get through. All is just my opinion, and I could always be wrong though.
ok, i just watched sunday’s show….
…..
- jack (funny face) didnt over do the faces this time and i liked the song.
- mia- strange dress, pretty girl, but song was just ave.
- mackenzie- enough of the poor me songs already, we need a break! it was boring and just “meh” for me
- roman- sounded like he has the sore throat and burning lungs, like i have right now. lol. i dont like that style of music that he does.
- kennedy- if my mom was still alive, she would have loved it. we used to sing “love will build a bridge” at karaoke back in the day. anyway, kennedy cracked badly and it was just average.
- ajii- NOPE!
- jennifer- hmmm- it was not good.
- emmy- it was ok but boring and repetitive. but she looked great though.
- triston - i loved it. like i said before, he will grow into that voice and he has the heart for it. i even got my first chill bumps of the season!
- odell- you loved it - but i heard a lot of flat keys, but it was just “good” and she did have the emotion for it.
- kayko- YOU liked it, but for me, it was just “ok” remember to look away and listen as well. you will focus more on the tune, keys, voice, etc.
- jordan- awful start- it got better but pitchy and boring.
- quint- NOPE from me, just average.
- kaib- pretty girl but sappy songs can really wreck your delivery, way too much crying on idol now days, get it together folks!
- nya- the song showed off her range. i liked it but was a bit “screechy”
- jayna- OMG, another sappy poor me song!! it was good. but dang, sappy sappy sappy.
- abi- you loved it- another sappy sad song, and a strange song title “the black parade”.. it was boring but at least she was on key, so, it was good for that reason.
- will- it was pretty good, gritty, and heartfelt. he’s a man,, not a girly boy. been saying this for years but we need more of that now days.
tonight was overall boring and depressing. maybe its the fact that my fever keeps going up, even with meds, maybe im cranky? lol
tonights (mon) show just wrapped up but i dont have the energy to watch it til tomorrow, but i love reading your details before i watch. see ya then.
ok, i just read every drop, i…..
….
swear you crack me up… even while having a big fat fever, sore throat, all that stuff, you make me smile!
‘funny face” and “strange singer”,, stuff like that. it just tickles me.
you said they film funny face from a distance, but im telling you, its cause of the massive amount of foamy spit in the sides and back of his mouth.
ok, my plan is to watch it after the hubby goes to bed, as long as i dont feel worse. see ya soon!
yup, i saw your…..
…
grades (only) as i skimmed and did see it appeared it got better..
i need sleep but i keep fighting it, lol. they hubby took the day off work today as (yesterday) he dropped brand new very sharp lawn mower blades (two) and they skimmed is calf (he was in shorts),, it was border line stitch worthy so i have to tend to him when all i want to is sleep, lol.
i heard a bang and metal clanking sound, in the garage… as i went to open the door, he piled in holding one of the two cuts, blood coming out faster than he could stop with a paper towel and said “do you think this will need stitches?”. i left him for just 2 seconds and boom, he got hurt, lol.
i sat him down, propped the leg up, put pressure, and wrapped it good. wish us luck on that, lol.
In the beginning of the show it started off really badly. I was starting to think this is gonna be tough cutting just 6. But it started to pick up when we got to the end of the 1rst group. Hope you feel better by the way.
hi skilz, i have not been……..
….
sick in years, thx to vit d3 and zinc but somethings got me pretty good, had a bunch of old asian men hacking openly around my hubby and me, they do that a lot for some reason. and now, im pretty sick, but i plan to read it later today, i did notice a lot of bad “grades” and “a’s” so it sounds like it will be a good show… i will read every drop maybe after i get some sleep. but i will read it all, i love you’re reviews.
My take on Yesterday's show
So we have the top 24 sitting there, and they announce the top 20 1 by 1. They start with my opinion the much weaker group which was the second group.
1) Jack- First one through is Funny face guy. I didn't love the song he choose. He sang slightly above average. But forget the faces for a second, that song can only be so good no matter who sings it in my opinion. They seemed to spend alot of time on a far away camera angle in my opinion away from his face in parts. Maybe that was just me I guess. Grade C+
2) Mia- I've been up and down with her throughout the contest. For me when she powered up she got pitchey and whiney not a great combo. Overall I thought the vocal was below average. Grade D+
3) Mckenzie- Sings a LG Song, usually I'm a fan. But this was his worst performance to date. The vocal was all over the place, and pitchey in parts. Just average at best for me, and I might be being generous with him here. Grade C
4) Roman- Voice sounded scratchey tonight. Followed up by too much screaming/overdone for me. I have to say I found it slightly below average. Grade C-
5) Kennedy- Started off fine, and than when she powered up a combo of a lot of pitchey and off key. Didn't like it below average for me. Grade D+
6) Ajii- Don't know the song, and didn't like it too be honest. A few bad notes with a bunch of yelling thrown in. Also not clear in parts. Slightly below average for me. Grade C-
7) Jennifer- Not her biggest fan so far, and this week was a combo of seeming like she singing too slow for the song, flat in parts, and another suck the life out of the room special. Below average at best. Grade D+
8) Emmy- Have not been her biggest fan either, but had her best week to date last week. Sang and original song this week which I liked. Her voice was decent enough, it is a very quiet voice, a little too quiet for me. So I will always be longing for more. KP was saying she needs to sing with more power, problem is I don't think her voice will sound very good if she does that in my opinion. Still for this week another slightly above average performance I liked the song, and she sound fine for what it is. Grade C+
9) Triston- I liked the original song (I believe it was anyways) alot and he can sing. My only problem with him that will always hold him back is his tone of voice at times. Overall a good Job this week though. Grade B
10) Odell- Finally someone who can flat out sing. The vocal was excellent, it was emotional, and a all around excellent performance. Grade A
They than send Elleigh and Kblocks home, which were the two I predicted last week from this group.
Then we start the first group in my opinion the better group.
11) Kayko-I have been a fan of him. And he sang yet another original song. I like this song too. The guy is a really good song writter in my opinion, He also played liked a guitar solo in the middle of the song which was pretty good in my opinion. As for the vocal I thought it was a good, combined with good emotional performance, a good original song, makes it play up for me. Near excellent. Grade A-
12)Jordan- The Australian guy, another one I have been a fan of. Sings a BE song, I thought all and all was a good emotional vocal that was imperfect, the mic even kind of had a issue (Falling) in a part of the vocal, I thought he handled that like a real pro. As I said It wasn't perfect, but it was good. Grade B
13) Quintavious- Sings the other song he didn't choose last week from TK. Overall I liked this vocal alot. He did a very good job and my favorite performance of him to date. Grade B+
14) Kaibrienne- Sings a original song. Stopped numerous times in the song, as the over come with emotion routine she pulls off. Maybe she is that emotional, but you need to control it better than that in my opinion. For me what she did was like if you watched a juggler drop the ball numerous times. For me it is well below average. Grade D
15) Nya- Sings a classic Song. A strong combo of sour screamy and pitchey. Well below average for me. Grade D
16) Jayna- Sings a MC Song, now in my opinion a very difficult song to sing well. Not a perfect vocal, but had more than enough good parts in the songs to hold her own on a very tough song to sing in my opinion. I thought it was a good performance overall given the degree of difficulty on that song. Grade B
17) Abi- She is a very strange singer, but this one worked alot for me. It was very emotional and a very good vocal. I really like it. Near excellent. Grade A-
18) Will-I didn't love the song, yet he still sounded very good and I liked the performance. It was very good for me, slightly held back by the song. Grade B+
19) Mckennah-I thought she did a very good job on that song. She sounded very good and it was emotional as well. Near excellent performance for me. Grade A-
20) Julia- Singing a song, that I feel almost never gets covered well, because you can't capture the emotion and the intangibles the artist brought to the song in my opinion. Having said that she sang emotionally, and it was a very strong vocal. It obviously still wasn't as good as the original, but she covered it about the best I've heard of anyone covering it. Seemed less in her head when she performed this week, and her voice just sounded much better this week much less deep. Near excellent performance. Grade A-
Cut Blake and Hailey. Had Blake right, but not Hailey.
My 6 cuts since they are going down to a top 14 on Monday.
Mia
Roman
Kennedy
Jennifer
Kaibrienne
Nya
Well we will find out the results I guess later today at this point. We will see. Anyway all is just my opinion of course.
omg, wow, so…..
..
first off, i thought tuesday was too busy to post?? well…. wed (today) was even insane, but i still watched the show just now, and it was a great way to wind down.
My hubby had the day off, unexpectedly, for a (muslim) holiday that we do NOT celebrate.. but fairfax county (va) is a hugely lib county and they dont like our country much now days, anyway, it was something about ramadon? lol. so, we took advantage of this day off for him and we had to drive all the way across this large county to the courthouse, to renew our concealed weapon permits, then get him to dmv to get his drivers lic updated with our new address and all, (i already did mine) but you have to go in person… then he got his new riding lawn mower delivered, so he cut the grass with that. he was thrilled, as the push mower, although self-propelled, was not easy. then i planted grass seed where needed, then put good soil on that, then fertilizer, omg, we could barely move after all that.
so, about the show…
I never got the “jelly roll” craze, but i have to say, after watching him so engaging with everyone, that was pretty cool. i dont think he will live very long at his size and all, using a cane so young.. but on with the show…
- odell- i love “funk” music witch i think originated from DC (just minutes away from me).. my hubby and i both love that style. but he had too much forced vibrato and runs.
- elleigh- i cant get past those huge hairy eyebrows, like you cant get past the boy that sings with the faces, lol. and its a NO from me, on her singing.
- mackenzie- you liked this best but the song was just OK for me, yet it was a good stage performance.
- jen- i like her soft voice a lot but the louder “gruffness” is not good. is “gruffness” a word? well, if not.. then i just made it so. lol
- emmy- she cries all the time, she is a hot mess. sang another poor me song.. flat and off key some and was just average.
- ajii- too fast and forced vibrato. strange song that got annoying.
- kennedy- great song in general, but it was way too rushed, hard to catch your breath at that rate, but she did great, i loved it.
- jack- (funny face guy).. sadly, “jelly” encouraged him to not listen to anyone and to keep making the dumb faces, but having said that… omg, i loved it! i liked his voice before too, but i must say, the frothy foam from his spit, all around in his mouth, was very off-putting.
- roman- you liked it.. i hated the runs but overall it was good.
- kb- you said “painful” and i have to agree yet it was a very entertaining stage performance.
- mia- very good, but more power would have made it great! nicely done.
- triston- you know i love this kid.. and yes, he is way young and sounds young but. when he grows into his voice, he may be the next Charlie Pride! (do you remember him?)
the band was just amazing tonight, i mean spot on with them jumping to the last note or whatever, they were great.
well, i tend to close my….
….
eyes and listen part of the time, or walk out of the room, and think to myself “would i buy that song or at least listen to it on the radio?”.
try it some time, as “funny face guy” may move you but the beautiful ladies may NOT move you when you cant see them. thats how i judge them.
having said that… i will watch them wed night… (had too much going on today, plumbers here all day trying to figure something out) and wed, the hubby is off from work for the day, for a non American “holiday” that we do NOT celebrate. sigh… but we have a ton to do, figured we would get it done then, but i am “all ears” tomorrow night my friend. stay tuned.
My Take on Monday's Showing
You know what is funny in a previous post you were telling me about all the things the contestants have to deal with, but I have come to the conclusion your a far tougher grader than I am. LOL. well here goes.
1) Odell- A platinum ticket holder, sings a BM Song. Brought great energy and fired up the crowd with the best of them. Good Vocal with a great performance. Grade A-
2) Elliegh- Sings a CLG song. Alot of bad notes here, she did a decent job in performing, but the vocal was below average for me. Slightly below average overall. Grade C-
3) Mackenzie- Sings a NJ Hit. He changed the song a little. I liked it alot, excellent vocal with excellent stage presence it was very good. Best of the night for me. Grade A
4) Jennifer- Sings a LC song. As one knows coming in I'm not her biggest fan to say the least. On a positive note, that was the best I heard her, on a negative note that is a low bar to climb. Still don't love her tone, but at least she didn't suck the life out of the room on this one. Slightly Above Average for me. Grade C+
5) Emmy- As one knows coming in I'm not her biggest fan to say the least. Overall thought this was the best we heard her so far. As the song went on it actually started to like it more as it went on. Above average/solid for me which is great for her. Grade B-
6) Ajii- Decent vocal, but a strange song, and his prenunciation wasn't always clear in the song. Hence above average to solid for me. Grade B-
7) Kennedy- Sings a RM Song Started off good, with total control and good stage presence. Downside is it wasn't as good when she powered up, in fact she confused power with shouting in my opinion at times. Slightly Above Average for me. Grade C+
8) Jack- Sings a KM Song. Otherwise known as the funny face guy. I liked the vocal, but the faces hold it back for me. Slightly Above average. Grade C+
9)Roman- I thought he was very solid, and what I liked is he didn't go nuts the whole song this time with his crazy runs and all. He did it at the right time and it worked for me. It was very good. Grade B+
10) Kblocks- Sing a KP Song, she is a strange singer with a very weird style. It will work on some songs, it won't work on others. It clearly didn't work here, as that was a painful vocal to listen too in my opinion well below average and worst of the night and it wasn't even close. Grade D
11) Mia- It was emotional that is the good news. The bad news was the vocal from the the tone on the song, to all the bad note hit. Slightly below average for me. Judges seemed to love I just didn't get it.Grade C-
12) Triston- Sings a big hit by BS. Overall it was pretty good. I liked him on the song. It wasn't as good as the original of course. But he was solid. Grade B
I would cut KBLOCKS and Elleigh. At least that is my thoughts on the show. All is just my opinion of course.
ok my idol friend, here we goooo….
…
first of all, the mic quality was awful. very muffled, so everyone sounded “blah” over all, so, with that in mind…
hailey- no good
jordan- meh
jayna- she’s got the look but it was meh and boring
julia- she really looks a lot like kelly clarkson, especially her profile.. i have said that before i think.. anyway… it was just average and boring.
kayko- great look but NOPE!
nya- i cant make out what the words are and was pitchy at times but it was ok.
blake- you hated it and i agree!! more “poor me” stuff and he did awful at it.
abi- sappy song that started out good but fell apart
quint- i was impressed. he did good but struggled with the big notes.
kb- hmmm, not goood.
will- you loved it as 2nd best of the night but for ME it was top of the night. pitchy just a tad at times, but this is a manly man vs a girly-boy “poor me” song (and i have complained about that type of music for years here)
mckennna- you said was the best but dont let her good looks confuse you.. close your eyes and listen again, maybe find it on Youtube’s American idol page, as they play them all on line there. its just average this time around.
i will plan to watch monday’s show on tues night. stay tuned and i look forward to your thoughts in it too.
i will plan to watch it tonight and….
….
report back, and as usual, i read every drop of your post here. you make me giggle, just the funny things you say, knowing you are not TRYING to be funny, you just brighten my day with the little things you say, lol.
keep in mind, they have a lot going on, and a lot to think about, they are told to stand this way, look at the camera, dont look at the camera, smile, move around on stage.. and they have all these songs to learn in a very short time. its tough, im sure. im looking forward to hearing will and mckenna since you liked those best.
stay tuned.
My Take On the show Last Night
Overall I thought the show was solid with some excellent performance, a bunch of good performance, and a bunch that were less than that and one which was obvious was the worst of the night by a country mile it stuck out like a sore thumb to be honest. So here we go.
1) Hailey- Sings a TM Song, Overall a solid vocal and solid performance. Don't think this was the best song for her or a singing competition, and we have heard her better. Having said that it was still solid. Grade B
2) Jordan- The austrailian guy, has a solid performance, not sure it was the best song/artist for a male vocalist to sing. My main complaint for him is there were too many runs he put in the song. Heard him better in the past. Grade B-
3) Jayna- Sing a DL song, Had my doubts going in this was a good song choice for her too be honest. But she definetely pulled it off, excellent stage presence and solid vocal in my opinion. Very good performance. Grade B+
4) Julia- Platinum ticket Holder. She can sing. But I didn't love this. I found her voice was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too deep for the song. I also felt like watching her she was thinking rather than feeling. Average for me. Grade C
5)Kayko- Singing another original song. Dedeicated this song to his late mother. I liked the song a lot, he is and excellent song writter in my opinion, And he always sings very emotionally. Solid, but not perfect vocal. Plays up thanks to the emotion and the song writting for me. I thought it was very good. Grade B+
6) Nya- Sings a TT Classic. I like the arrangement she did here. She sang very well. I liked it very much, especially the beginning of the song. Near excellent performance for me here, and the 3rd best performance of the night. Grade A-
7) Blake- Former Football Player. Remember when I said one performance stuck out like a sore thumb this is it. Singing a JB song, his tone is nasally, his timing is terrible, and tons of sour/bad notes, and lacks confidence/looks/feels uncomfortable on stage. Not very good for me and I'm being nice. Grade D
8) Abi- Second Platinum ticket holder. Probably picked the worst song of the night for me. Vocal and performance was just very strange for me, and not perfect. Just Average for me. Grade C
9) Quintavious- Sings a CU song. The beginning wasn't great, than hit the chorus and did his usual gospel/taking it to church performance, where he generally excels. Although he tried some crazy notes on this performance that I'm sure took skill to do, but wasn't the most pleasant to listen too. Just average for me. Grade C
10) Kaibrienne-Sings a BA Song. I don't love it, a combo of scratchey and nasally, and it sounded sour in parts. Slightly Below Average for me. Grade C-
11) Will- Sings a classic song, don't love this song choice for him going in. However, I really Like how he did that. I loved this performance, and was my favorite of the night. He is so consistently good which is another plus. Grade A
12) Mckenna- Sings the BC Song. I thought she covered the song very well, sang nice and emotionally, and just sang it very well. Excellent performance. Second best performance of the night to me. Grade A
Conclusion: Well tonight we have the next 12 get up and sing (Based on the people left I expect yesterday to be better overall). If I were to eliminate two people from this show since that is all that is going home. Would be Blake (Obviously) and Kaibrienne for me. Anyways that is my take. All is just my opinion of course.
ok Mr. Skilz, here we gooooo….
…
jordan- did good
odell- good voice but too much yelling
naya- meh/blah
blake- boring and awful
triston- i love this kid in general but this was not as good as before, but he just needs to grow into his voice, thus, the nasal thing, but he is ONLY 15. it will get better.
roman- good voice but out of control. but had the energy for the stage
alyssa- she reminds me of cher, in general, and it was ok
kb- it was good
jack- good and may go top 10 imo
mia and mckennah- didnt hear them sing, maybe fast forwarded too much? lol
emmy- she is still a mess, too mousy, sang off key but they only kept her because of her grandma’s history
will- good but not great
ajii- ok voice but too rapper and thug like.
i think i missed a couple more?? kayko? ellie? kennedy?
k block- she is nuts, lost it here.
abby- meh, but she was sick sooooo
quint- ??
haily- it was good
jennifer- NOPE
mack was ok and ziggy was surprisingly ok in the sing off, but glad ziggy is gone. no longer to have that agenda pushed on us anymore.
omg, so, jelly roll is a judge on the next show? my hubby and i just dont get that whole “jelly roll” thing but ok, whatever.
read every drop again, will watch tonight and…
…
report back. im glad they got rid of ziggy. i cant stand when “they” always get those lip injections and force their mouth in a crying motion when they sing. its an odd thing to watch. like a crying infant, lol. and i didnt like his voice.
My Take On the show Last night
1) Jordan- The austrailian guy. He gave a really solid and emotional vocal. Would put him through the top 24 easily. Judges agreed.
2) Odell- Platinum ticket holder, who dedicated his performance to his late sister. He can sing, a little over done for me with runs. It would be a weak/barely yes for the top 24 for me. Judges put him through.
3)Naya- Have liked her in the past. But didn't like this vocal as I found it screamy and all over the place. Based on this alone I would pass, but for me at this point, it is more of a combo of what you done as a whole whether the answer is yes/no. So a weak yes, based on I liked her alot 2/3 times I heard her.
4) Blake- The former football player. From what I heard it sounded off him singing a SM Song. As A whole we have seen him 3 times and everytime I thought he needs alot of work in my opinion. I would pass. Judges put him through.
5) Triston- The 15 year old country singer. It is like he has two voices sometimes and not sure whether they both go together. Seems like a nice kid and all, but for me it sounds too nasally. Don't love his tone. I would pass, but the judges put him through.
6) Roman- Talked about losing his mom. he sang very well in the beginning, than his usual over the top singing occurs with a culmination of him falling intentionally on the stage when he was done. His singing is good if it was under a less is more approach. Problem is Idon't think this guy is gonna pullback, and he gets more over the top every performance both vocally and his stage performance. I'm on the fence leaning towards a no. Judges put him through.
7) Alyssa & Keibrienne- They show these two at the same time. Alyssa sings a classic song,with a combo of a horrible arrangement, and pitchey singing. Keibrienne They show sounded not very good singing yes another classic song. In fact it souned really bad, her tone sounded terrible on that song, and she was off in numerous parts. They have a sing off, where they both once again sounded bad. I would of put neither through, but they decide to put Keibrienne through.
8) Jack- The funny face guy. Once again he can sing, but his faces ruin him for me. I wouldn't put him through, but the judges do.
9) Mia- The better of the two sisters the other one has allready been eliminated, I have been up and down with her. Liked her the first time, down on her the 2nd time, and she was okay last night, not perfect, but not horrible either. On the fence judges put her through.
10) Mckennah- Liked her the first two time I heard her alot, but did not like her last night on a DL song. Would put her through based on past performances. Judges put her through.
11) Emmy- The daughter of a country legend. Not her biggest fan. Liked this performance the best out of the three times I heard her by far, but that is a low bar to surpass. Still don't love it, I would pass, but the judges put her through.
12) Will- Sounds good again love his tone. Good Performance. Very consistent and seems to be always good. Should go through no doubt, judges put him in the top 24.
13) Ajii- He made the mistake of constantly cheering and yelling the whole time for every performance in round 1, you would always see him jumping up and down celbrating and cheering on every performance. Problem is when your a singer, you might lose your voice doing that in round 2. Now having said that I thought he did decent eventhough his voice was not at full strength. He is solid, and consistent. Like him. should go through, judges put him through.
14) Kayko, ellie, and kennedy who they didn't show this round we were told all went through. I like Kayko alot from the previous, round. don't remember Ellie, and Kennedy I remember who I thought was solid her last time, although admittingly a little too broadwayish for me, So need to here more there.
15) Kblocks- Sings BB song, she always sing right on the edge for me whether this is creative and unique and wierd in a good way, or a manic trainwreck. Unfortunetely this last performance I didn't like very much and thought it was a little too manic for me. I'm on the fence overall, judges put her through.
16) Abby- Another platinum ticket holder, lost her voice a bit thanks to bronchitas. Sang okay obviously probably would of been better if she wasn't compromised singing. Liked her the first time I heard her. I would put through and the judges did.
17) Jayna- the girl who tried last season to get through whogot cut at this point. Sang a CD Song she can sing, and should easilyb go through at this point. The judges put her through.
18) Quintavious and Hailey- didn't get to see much of either this round a little more of Hailey we seen this round, but remember them from previous parts of the comp. They both can really sing. And both should og through. Both did.
19) Jennifer- Another not so great performance with her sore throat tone. I would pass, but the judges put her through for some reason that is unclear to me.
20) Julia- Platinum ticket holder. Was fantastic the first time we heard her. But not this time the vocal was all over the place. I really didn't like it. I'm on the fence on the overall picture. Judges put her through.
21) Mackenzie and Ziggy- Ziggy sings the song that round, and the words unmitgated disaster come to mind. Mckenzie, who I have like throughout this competition had his weakest performance to date, didn't love it, stiill way better than ziggy though. I would of put mackenzie through and got rid of ziggy. Judges need a sing off. Ziggy sings the sing off song okay. And mackenzie outsings him by a country mile as I thought he was solid in the sing off. Judges put mackenzie through didn't need the sing off to know that was the right decision, but at the end of the day they got to the same point as I would of by putting mackenzie in the top 24 and eliminating ziggy.
Anyways that is my take for this show. All is just my opinion, and I could always be wrong though.
ok, sooo, i just watched it and….
…
good gosh! what a mess of “poor me” stuff, but lets do this…
i wonder how many confused kids killed themselves after this show. im not kidding.
anyway…
triston- he’s a nice boy, i loved it.. and black country stars is all the rage now, so he should do well.
quintavious- more victim songs, it was just average
hailey- good for sure
emmy-, you hated it and i agree, it was horrible and yet another poor me song.. she is like “poor me, im the grand daughter of Lorreta Lynn. poor me. lol.
jack- yup, the faces ruin what is a good voice, over all.
kayko- you loved it.. i say he has the great looks but another poor me song, and i didnt like it.
abby- omg i loved her version of this billy joel song, and i loved that song back in the day, hard to sing if you try it. i hated the eyebrows, said it before, maybe thats what got her booted, but i was shocked she got the boot. it was very good.
jennifer- you said it was “painful” and she did yet another “poor me” song.. but i liked it, yet hated the “message” of the song
nya- wowza!! loved it
jacy- NOPE, next!
mia- it was good, but not great
K blocks (what kind of name is that anyway?). she was funny and odd, but the song was ok. sometimes i walk away or close my eyes to hear the song and cut out all the “noise” of the background stories, etc
mckenna- you loved it… last time i saw her, i googled her mother’s youtube videos, it was interesting.. and she sang this very well.
ajii- way overdone but was just ok
madia- awkward, a diva before she is even famous, yet, they coddled her and gave her more chances.. nice voice but she is mental, maybe on drugs and should not be on the show.
camilla- i think i missed some people here, maybe fast forwarded? but wasnt impressed with whoever was next, lol.
KB - as she calls herself.. more poor me stuff, and she is a mess.
Will- you loved it… at 23, i worry about his health, having learned what diabetes and high b/p looks like in a person, he is only 23, i worry for him, but about the song.. it was pretty good, but the guitar was off key.
roman- NOPE!
mckenzie- was ok.
blake- NOPE!
justice- good but way too churchy
kennedy- nope, sorry, it was awful
ziggy- the flamer that they saved for last. hey, did you know that biden declared this past easter “trans awareness day?” to push trans in our faces on Easter?. so, yup, they are in our faces like it or not. and the song was a big NOPE for me. his singing was awful.
ok, i just read every……
….
drop… im about to watch sundays’ show and i will wait to watch monday’s until you see it first, i really get a kick out of your comments and i take notes and compare when i watch.
i crack up when you say someone is not good and “thats being nice” or when you said “painful” lol. stuff like that gives me a much needed chuckle.
ok, stay tuned for my sunday review.. they are never as good or detailed as yours but i enjoy reading yours a lot.
My Take on the show last night.
It was a little different style from years past how they did AI HW Week.
1) Triston- A 15 year Old male country singer. Sings a original song. He can sing that is the good news. The bad news is I don't love his tone. Overall okay, not great, on the fence.
2) Quintavious- From what I heard he sounded pretty good to me.
3) Hailey- From What I heard she also sounded pretty good to me.
4) Emmy- The daughter of a country legend. Sings a original song. To say I didn't like it is a understatement. I would pass.
5) Jack- The guy with the funny faces. His vocal wasn't bad. But i will never get that excitedb about him, because the faces he makes turns me off. I would pass.
6) Kayko-The Guy who wasn't even going to audition, but kind of did after he played piano for his friend Abby the first time we seen him. Sings an oriignal song which I really like the song. Very emotional, maybe a little manic, but in a good way. Good singer not great singer, but the song he wrote and emotion he sang with made it very enjoyable. it was a very good performance.
7) Abby- The other part of the Kayko story. She did decently, liked her, but something is missing when she sings. On the fence leaning towards being positive.
8) Jennifer- Sings an original song. Don't like the way she sings, it sounds like a combo of a sore throat, terrible tone, and sucking the life out of the room all rolled into one. That was painful to listen too, the judges like it though,
9) Nya- From what I heard singing a AF Cassic. She can sing from what I heard, not perfect, but she can sing.
10) Mia and Jacy- The sisters. Jacy sings first the good news is she was clearer than the first time I heard her. The end was decent, but the beginning was a bit shakey. I would pass. Mia- I didn't her either on this, didn't like her tone on this song. I would pass as well.
11) K Blocks- Strangest vocal and performance of the whole night and it isn't even close. At first I wanted not to like it, but it grew on me as it wasn't going on. probably not for everyone, but I did like the performance
12) Mckenna- One of the best vocals and performances of the night. She can flat out sing. Really enjoyed that.
13) Ajee- A Good song, a good vocal, good performance. Liked it.
14) Madai- Signing a AG Song. She stops the vocal twice, tried to throw the band under the bus as well. Not a very good vocal, also very unlikeable in my opinion. Would obviously pass.
15) Camilla, Amanda, and Isabella- Three singers that clearly cracked under the pressure and didn't sound very good. Obviously they all should be sent home.
16) Kaibrienne- She was choked up while singing that song. Although not a perfect vocal obviously some thanks to being choked up. Sang with great emotion, and has a decent voice. Like her seems to have some potential.
17) Will- Sings a CS song. This guy can flat out sing. very good performance.
18) Roman, Mckenzie, Blake, and Justice- Although this segment I got the idea they were trying to show us they had alot of talent. Roman- from what I heard I didn't like it, seemed like he was shouting. Mckenzie- from what I heard, he sounded pretty good to me. Blake- didn't like this guy tone. Justice, was like the female version of roman, pitchey and screaming come to mind. The only one I liked out of this bunch is mckenzie.
19) Kennedy- From what I heard solid vocal. She can sing. A little broadwayish for me, but she is pretty good.
20) Ziggy- He can sing a little too broadwayish for me. It was much better than I thought it was much better than I thought it would be. On the fence.
Hard to tell who got through and who didn't but from my understanding most of the people I liked did get through. Obviously they showed like about 25 people or so so out of about 143 that performed so obviously alot went through with 56 going through, a bunch of people we didn't see. Tonight show which is currently being recorded I will get to at some point. But that is my take for sunday's show. All is just my opinion of course.
ok, i just watched it and here we goooo!…
…
ricky- i liked it (the song).. he was pierced all over yet NO tatoos? lol.
sophia- she reminded me of kelly clarkson, both looks and voice, back when she was interviewing. she did good too
brant- meh
carmon- i liked it
camilla- nice story but its AMERICAN idol. obama did warn us that we all must learn to speak spanish for the fundamental transformation of American to come.. so, i guess i didnt heed the warning and have no idea what her songs were about, but she sang ok.
garrison- wowza, my fav of the night, loved it.
jayna- great job and the pianist was completely into it.
keegan- “flamers” are all mentally unstable and this proves it. NO, lol
cate- nice story but its a NO for me. i got bored and fast forwarded to the next one.
mia- good job
jacy, no way, but loved the harmony with mom, they all 3 did good together.
jordan- sappy and boring, just average.
yvan- (a guy, who knew?) has a cool look, not a bad looking guy under all that mess, but he’s nuts, its a no.
victoria- she looked and sang a bit like brittany spears, and they ate it up.
tyesha- just ok
spenser- no
bethany- sweet girl, horrible outfit (for her shape) it was good but not great
isiah- scruffy is in now days.. he did a good job.
julia- ok but too dramatic (singing) and the judges got sucked in on the story and not the singing.
im about to watch now that the hubby is off to bed! your review made it a must see, sooner than later.
wow! i just…..
….
read every drop! im going to try and watch tonight but got so much going on but will try to get to it by tomorrow night if not tonight.
i cracked up when you said a “loose dog” , lol. cant wait to see that.
i have noticed, over the weeks, you had more than 10 that you said should be in the top 10, .. you need a top 20. lol.
love your replies, i look forward to them. stand by for mine in the coming days. and next week, wow, we have a lot of notes to take but we are used to it, year after year.
My Take on Last Night's Show
This was a far better show than last week, although they still did put through there fair share of people I didn't think should go through.
1) Ricky- He played the piano and sang very well, on a different interpetation of that song, than I'm used to seeing covered in my opinion. Has top 10 potential in my opinion, and the judges put him through.
2) Lianna- She sings and original song. Don't love her tone, and question her range. Judges have her sing a secong song, didn't like the vocal either, judges put her through for some reason, I would of passed obviously.
3) Sophia, Brent and Carmen- I guess this trio was to show off youth and confidence. Sophia- sang a KP song, sang well enough to get through at this point. Not perfect, but as I said more than good enough. Brent- Didn't like his sound, sang like he had a sore throat and not in a good way. I would pass. Carmen- She wasn't very good and i'm being nice, yet the judges loved her. I would of just put through Sophia, judges put all through.
4) Camilla- Dad from reality TV Show. She is 14 years old sings in spanish. I didn't love her vocal thought she was pitchey and a little all over the place. I would of passed the judges put her through.
5) Garrison- Sings a SW classic. Don't think it was the right song for him. Not perfect was on the fence leaning towards a yes. The judges put him through.
6) Jayna- Was on AI Last season. Not perfect, but more than good enough at this point. She can sing though. easily through for me. Judges put her through.
7) Keegan- The guy on skates. I was expecting a worse vocal than he gave.Having said that I would pass and the judges did.
8) Cate- the 18 year old mother, sang an original song, a better song, than vocal. I was on the fence with her voice. The judges put her through. And I guess I would of to.
9) Mia and Jacy- The sisters tryout together. Jacy sings first,not clear with her words and prenunciation, sound like she has some kind of speech issue when she sings. Also a little pitchey and all over the place. I would pass. Mia- sang much better than her sister, solid vocal, easily through at this point. I would put Mia through and pass on Jacy, judges put both through.
10) Jordan- From Austrailia, Sings a LC song, one of my favorite current Artists out there. He plays on the piano, in my opinion he sang very well, and has top 10 potential in my opinion, can flat out sing. Judges put him through.
11) Yvan- Now we have a dog lose in the audition room. He is singing some crazy song, not very well. I would obviously pass, judges did pass thankfully.
12) Victoria- Young girl singing a MT song. Good news is she has the confidence to sing that song. But my problem is the vocal wasn't very good, and that is a problem. I would pass, judges put her through.
13) Tyesha and Spencer- Tyesha singing from what I heard was very solid. Would put her through. Spencer Also sang well from what I heard. Both should go through, and both did.
14) Bethany- Sings a KC Song. She can sing, had a solid vocal and sang emotionally. Easy yes for me at this point, and she was put through by the judges.
15) Isaiah- Sang an original song, thought his original song was pretty good. And like his voice. Easy yes, with possible top 10 potential in my opinion.
16) Julia- Adpoted women from Maine. Sings a AF Classic, Admittingly not my favorite style of music, but she can flat out sing. Top 10 potential in my opinion without a doubt. Judges put her through with a platinum ticket.
Conclusion: I thought last night's show was much better than last week. This is the end of the audition phase. Next week AI will be on both Sunday and monday (Hollywood week). Anyways those are my thoughts for the week. All is just myopinion of course.
