My take on the show last night
I thought overall last night was the best of the three so far. The first girl who started off the shows, sang relatively well (Although admittingly stylized, so not every song will work for her), but I don't think the judges liked that she was non commital to it being her dream. They let so many people through that are far worse than her. But she eventually gets through.
The second person I remember was the guy who wrote his song to his girlfriend. Overall I thought the song was okay and his vocal was above average. To be fair would of put him through, but At this point I lean toward putting anyone through that flashes any level of talent. So not a overwhelming positive view, but enough to get through at this point.
The third person I remember was a guy signing while his mom was on piano. Didn't love it, It just seem a bit karoke to me. And the piano play that the judges raved about from the mother, I didn't think was great to say the least. He didn't go through, I agreed.
The 4th person I remember Was the guy who had autism that was playing on piano. He can play the piano. And to this point I was on the fence on whether I liked it, everything from the piano play to the original song, to the way he choose to sing it, I felt like I don't know if I ike this or I don't. But would of probably put him through myself, because when I'm on he fence in this round, that is what I feel they should do. And they did.
The 5th person starts off talking in a terrible talking voice. She than if you pay attention she says, this is my talking voice. Which Implied to me that her singing voice was very different. Thankfully it was, she can flat out sing. One of the best singers we heard throughout the competition in my opinion.
The 6th person I remember was a female singer from a small town who is DJ at some radio station. She says she was going to do a pop version of the song. I thought she was wrong didn't hear pop, heard some blues though. She can sing though, and deserved a golden ticket, and that is what she received.
The 7th person- Sang a LR Classic, And although I don't know if I liked every vocal choice. She can flat out sing, so no brainer to put through and they did. Finally the good female singers have arrived.
8th person- Sang a original Song, One of the better original song we have heard. Sad that his mom committed suicide. He can sing, and is a pretty good songwritter based on that song. Although he could use a little more power. At the end of the day though a no brainer to go through at this point.
9th person- We went through a whole bunch of musical theatre people before we got to her. She can sing, but needs to untrain herself some bad habits if she she wants to be effective singing in this competition. They gave her some teaching and let her through, to be fair, after spending all that time, plus she was a bit better singing HB (Second song), I understand why they give her a chance. Don't know if she can completely untrain herself, but time will tell.
10th Person- wrote this song. Was one of those things where I Didn't want to like it, but kind of did. Now I have my doubts of whether she can sing well enough, but couldn't get the song out of my head so it was catchey at least for me. So they let her through, we will see how well she can sing when she doesn't have a kind of fun song behind her. Time will tell.
11th person- The guy who almost died in the car accident to end the show. Can flat out sing. It really is that simple. They put him through, which was very obvious was the right decision.
Conclusion: Overall there were a few others, but these were the ones I remembered. I thought last night show was the best out of three, and it is nice to see some female who can actually sing very well. All is just my opinion of course,and I could always be wrong though.
Exactly my thoughts! Put me in mind of IZ as well:)
cool! i have to say, if you saw my thoughts on that first episode, that he reminded me of the late izzy, but iam was just ok to me, not great.
i try not to let their stories sway my thoughts on their actual singing but the judges get too wrapped up in the stories.
do you know who izzy was?
Thanks! I get a kick out of the show:) Iam Tongi sang "Monsters" perfectly! I'm rooting for him for now.
yippy, we have another…..
…
ihub idoller!
hi there B Rich! welcome to the idol board!
there’s still more contestants to audition but like skilllz said, there are better male singers than female, so far.
I believe Iam Tongi is going to be in the top 5. Ready to hear his next performance:)
ok there Mr. Skillz here is my take on the show this week….
..
once again, i found the show better than usual, in past years, so im really enjoying the auditions.
caroline- she was just ok
john wayne, they did a spoiler alert that i commented on, he was good but i hated that they had to push his grampa’s gayness in our face.
ashley- um. NO! lol
cotey- sweet and humble guy but. no way.
matt- sweet and humble and did good.
kaylin- odd outift, too giggly and is a no from me. too much vibrato and little substance but as you said she gets the plat award.
aiden- NO. sounds like he is on a toddlers show, singing stuff. and also depressing songs like so many do now days. yet, he gets through.
mckayla- not good. too nasally like many of the other girls.
next- like the judges said, its American Idol, not world idol, yet they go on to show all these people not even from this area, going on the show. so, whatever.
having said that…… Nutsa comes on there, not from here, but was really good. but. she is scary and may intimidate the other girls. she gets through.
Luke, the judge, cracked me up with the mullet wig, haha.
trey- wow, he sounded just like chris stapleton and i thought that before they said it. if you dont know who he is, youtube him. he is the one that did the anthem at the super bowl… and he did the real anthem, not the divisive one.
katy had a melt down about his story of the shooting but what she doesnt understand is that us good guys need guns too. so many states are taking that away, so, we just sit in a fish bowl and wait to get shot. not me, im a legally carrying lady.
great review and i think they give the plat tickets to have some bad singers in the mix, i really do.
im going to try and watch it tonight. stay tuned.
My review
There were a few good singer pretty much all male singers like last week including I thought the guy that sang with his grandfather there, the guy that ended the show, and the guy that had his wife convince him to try out and he was very good. The girl they gave the platinum ticket to in my opinion they were way too positive on the girl has talent, but based on that performance she has ability but doesn't know how to sing very well in my opinion. Hence I wasn't impressed, I thought it was borderline she should go through, probably would of leaned on putting her through, but platinum ticket. I disagree. They let alot of other singers through that were just okay at best, and a few that just weren't very good. Wasn't overly wowed, Don't get me wrong there were a few good singers, but I am still waiting for the female signer that I actually think is very good haven't heard it yet, heard mosty average and below average female singers so far. All is just my opinion fo course.
ok. i also used to only…
…
watch the later stuff, but this year, most of the early stuff is better than in past years. i have not watched it. was going to after the hubby went to bed, but i like to turn it up to really hear it so i better wait, lol.
i hope to watch it by tomorrow night.
talk to ya soon!
I'm Gonna Continue watching it, probably will get to it tonight or at worst tomorrow. Will write something when I do. Will probably be more timely when watching, once we get past the auditions phase of the show, as always has been my least favorite part of the show. All is just my opinion of course.
you are quiet, do you still want …
…
to banter back and forth about idol or are you done with it?
i nearly gave up on it after all the gay stuff being, once again, pushed in our faces,, but did want to try and keep going with it.
i do need to catch up on the most recent one, hoping to do that tonight.
there was a cooking contest show that i used to love and it got taken over by nearly all gay staff and contestants, so i never watched it again.. i dont run around yelling “im straight” and carrying my own “im straight” flag, so why do they feel i have to know about it ever other word out of their mouths, and usually, its pretty obvious anyway, lol
ok mr. skillsz, heres my take after finally watching it all..
..
nashville, tenn-
- ms. haven- i liked it but those pants.. whats up with kids now days and torn up jeans, lol. sometimes, when we see that, my hubby will turn to me and say “aww, that poor girl was attacked by a shark.. or another time he will say lion, etc, lol.
- lucy lovey- a diva, but lionel put her in her place, shut her down and then she did a good job.
- colin- loved it
- kelsea - beautiful girl, wow, and sang ok, so they barely passed her through.
- zachariah- did really good
- Iam- reminded me of the late izzy, and then boom, they played izzy’s song at the end there, ironic. he was good, not great but the crying was just too much.
next half was in vegas…
- micheal - had a girly voice but very good.
- megan- no no no! but, they put her through.
- tyson- good but also very girly voice and all. i say it every year but guys are becoming girls in record numbers, so, they show up at these talent shows in droves. but, it was quite good. just need some more manly guys on the show.
- jack- i loved that he looked and sounded like he belongs in the 50’s but he was not very good. just ave. loved his little bird friend but then funny that a stray bird showed up and they chased it around,, haha.
- the last lady, didnt catch her name.. way over the top, no no no, but the sob story got her through.
so, there you have it.
its the first year i ever took the time to jot names down so early in the show.. i used to wait until they weeded out the garbage but so far, its starting out ok this year.
ok my friend, i just watched……..
..
1/2 of the show, and took notes, and will finish the rest tonight and post but so far, its not too bad. i expected all junk.
stay tuned for my post ok?
its so good to chat with you again. so many of my ihub buddies are gone, gave up trading, gave up ihub or changed their ihub name and i cant find them . but i have stayed in touch with a handful, via facebook.
i love it! great reviews. i am……
…
still waiting to see the first show but planning to watch it tomorrow. today, the hubby and i had a big day and did this…
click on this to make the video play. (its me)
I'm fine and Yes did catch up with it today. I mean the things that stood out is there were a few good guy singers Two guys from the same small town, but they both seemed to sound good, the first guy I was shocked sounded so well when he sang to be honest I didn't understand a word he said when he was talking. But he was clear when he was singing and pretty good. The second guy from the same town sang well, maybe over performed a bit, but souned pretty good. The guy who was on the piano that got the platinum ticket sounded good he could sing, although He might be a little old fashion for today's voting audience. But he was a good singer. The guy that lost his Dad that sang that heartfelt song in the dedication to his father, he sang it pretty well, never heard the song before to be honest, but I liked it when he sang it. Those were the 4 I remember. They lets some poeple through mostly girl singers that were a combo of not very good and I'm being nice, Below average, and average. I don't think we heard one female singer that was even above average. Overall I seen 4 singers I kind of Liked, the only other singer I thought of was the guy singer, who the judges thought he didn't hurt the eyes (Specifically one judge), he had a good falsetto but his full voice could use a little work. Maybe a tad above average. Overall Though that was my take on the show last night. I will comment in more detials when the show goes on, but right now will probably just give a general overview until we get till at least past the audition phase of the competition. All is just my opinion of course.
hi skillz! a new American idol has….
…
begun.
will you still be my sounding board for our thoughts on the episodes?
that would be fun.
i have not watched it yet, but saw a couple of songs get leaked on youtube. i will try to watch it by tuesday night at the latest, but i see it did record on my dvr.
how are you? i hope all is well.
great review. although the season is over, please stay in touch here time to time ok?
i have lost too many ihub buddies recently.
have a great week!
My review of Last Night's Show
Round 1
Leah- Wasn't great, Heard her worse the last couple of weeks. Barely Average for me. Grade C
Huntergirl- Not great, and I'm being Nice. In fact I thought it was slightly Worse than Leah. Grade C-
Noah- I actually Like this one, and thought it was a good performance. Grade B
Round 2
Leah- Was worse than Her first performance. Still don't know how Nicolina and fritz weren't here over her. Didn't love the song, didn't love the vocal, and I'm being very nice. Grade D
Huntergirl-Song was the best of the three by a county mile in this round, the vocal wasn't great. Grade C
Noah- Decent vocal, not a great song and I'm being Nice. Grade C+
I agree with you On Nicolina that was an outrageously good vocal, I continue to say she had the best voice in this competition and it wasn't even close.
They cut Leah thankfully she shouldn't in my opinion, been part of the final 3, but thankfully not the winner.
Was rooting for Noah, to be fair two of my three favorite were eliminated last week, and Noah won. So there's that. All is just my opinion, and I could always be wrong though.
ok, soooo, i was up late watching the …
..
finale.
round one..
leah- not good
hunter- also not good
noah- over fast vibrato and off key or flat, not sure, but was ok.
round two…
leah- she too was flat and boring
noah- he said “i have to do this” for his family, so i dont think he really wants this but others pushed him all this time and his song was awful.
hunter girl- it was ok
leah goes home…
i fast forward (after hearing tid bits) of the fluffy odd stuff…
ex contestant, nicola came on and did really well, but she is not in the game anymore, but she did good as usual.
more fluff, fast forward. judges take the spotlight and sing, lol
round 3… finally, i waited all night, lol
noah- flat but ok
hunter- was very good this time
noah wins.
i hear ya. i remember when a couple of seasons it was all cry baby guys, singing super soft and high. i cant stand that, neither can the hubby, but the snowflakes out there love to cry to that type of music, lol
For what it is worth America agreed wth you On leah. Because I just didn't get it, mostly 1rst performance though, but didn't love the second one either, just miles better than the 1rst. But that is the thing listening to music can be so subjective sometimes, what one person thinks isn't very good the other person loves, that happens even more in stylized artist such as Leah in my opinion.
ok, so, i just watched it and sooooo enjoyed the show…
round one…
hunter— nope, not good.
leah- i loved it! you didnt like it. she did rush it a bit but i loved it.
fritz- nope
noah- good but flat at times and boring.
nicolina- it was just ok. her outfit was horrible for her body style.
omg, who was that horrible and creepy guy that sang during the “intermission”. ?? lol
round two- ding ding ding..
leah- omg, i loved it!
hunter- flat but some of it was good. cute outfit
fritz- uh oh, not good again.
nicolina- rough start and then boom! it was off the hook, loved it, wowza!
noah- loved it. he did try to rush it some though. great job!
fritz and nic are gone. finale is next week!!!
sorry skillz that i keep trying to kill you off. i dont know why, from the day i noticed that onebg has passed that i keep thinking it was you. i posted it a couple of times but caught it in time and changed it.
i mean i mess onebgg! why do i keep doing that??
omg, i just read every…..
..
word and im so glad to be back posting here and reading your posts here too!! (still missing mr. skillz, may he rest in peace)
so, i will go and watch it right now and post my thoughts. but yup, fritz was kind of weak sounding even before covid, but it appears the stronger players are ahead from your review.
ok, im going to get off here and go watch and post my thoughts. stay tuned my friend!
Last Night's Show
Round 1
1) Huntergirl- Sang a decent version of the song. Wasn't a perfect vocal, but everything was solid for the most part. Grade B
2)Leah- In my opinion she was sour A lot of the song, and a pretty bad vocal. Perhaps one of the worst we heard from Her in my opinion. Grade D
3) Fritz- Was okay, but doesn't seem like his voice has fully recovered from being sick. Didn't love the song choice. Vocal was imperfect in a lot of part. It was okay. Grade C
4) Noah- Sang it well, and in my opinion picked the right song for him. Granted he doesn't have the power to sing from that song book, not that he had a choice in the matter. He did his best though, and was relatively solid, but wish he had a little more power in parts to pull it off. Grade B-
5) Nicolina- In my opinion sang the song very well, and it is not a easy song to sing, because of not only the power needed in the vocal, but the speed it is delivered in part as well. Overall did a very good Job in my opinion. Grade B+
Round 2
1) Leah- Better than her first song, by a country mile. Having said that it wasn't a perfect vocal either, and was overdone in a few part in my opinion. But overall slightly Above Average. Grade C+
2) Huntergirl-Another solid, but not perfect vocal. Often times when I hear her sing, I think, she will have ton of good performances, a few very good performances, And a few Average to Above Average. In other words, very consistant, will never blow you away, but at the same time you will always think for the most part she is Pretty good. I prefer the first vocal and song over the 2nd slightly though. Grade B-
3)Fritz- A decent, but unspectacular vocal, still believe his voice hasn't fully recovered, song was not the best choice, he is better with the emotional song choices, that is where he shines, not as much on a fast pace, upbeat song, where your not gonna get much emotion from that. Grade B-
4) Nicolina-Solid Vocal, having said that I didn't love the song choice here. She is without a doubt the best vocalist out of the 5 and it isn't even close, but rarely do I feel much from her, and other's are more likeable, as there personality shines through there performances more. Grade B-
5) Noah- Didn't love the song choice, found it a bit boring, but he sang well. So there's that. Grade B
I to be fair Had Nicolina, Fritz, Noah, and Huntergirl, pretty much in a dead heat, I like them all from an overall contest perspective, which is essentailly how I would judge at this point, it is not just about this week. Having said that I thought Leah Should of been Out, and any combo of 3/4 would of been fine in my opinion. But Leah, who gets through more because of style/personality and less because of her vocals, which especially last night, at times, were off, at times were sour, and times she seemed like she was screaming rather than singing. But she gets through with Huntergirl, and Noah. So there's that. That is my review for what it is worth. All is just my opinion and I could always be wrong though.
great review and super detailed as ….
…
usual, love this! and yes, i cried. and cried more that i didnt know he was gone (since aug) until i recently started posting again here.
so, i was sad that i didnt keep up with him.
i also heard, from his friend, that his wife passed later. so, its just sad all around.
ok, well, there is still you and i here so lets banter. i hate that i missed the beginning, as i had it set to tape. not sure what happened there.
Last night show
Sad to hear ONEBGG passed.
Top 7
Leah- First Performance was more of a uptempo performance. This was better than normal when you speed her up, but as I continue to say you speed her up your gonna Get Not much better than Average. I give her a C on the first performance. The second performance was a bit better, once again a slower song. Not the best song. But still say she did solid. Grade B-
Overall Grade C+
Jay- His first song was not very good, and I'm being nice, do not sing that song, plus did I mention I don't like his Falsetto most of the times either. To be clear the song is excllent, but it was bad because I felt it really exposed all his weaknesses. Grade D Than he went to go after another song where he butchered. Thought that one was even worse. To think I like those songs, didn't like it when he sang them though. Grade D-
Overall Grade D-
Fritz- I actually Liked his first song a lot, so I differ from you here. I Liked the song, is his vocal ever perfect, the answer to that is no. But his vocal was good enough, and he sings with emotion. Grade B+ Second song I didn't love as much, was okay, but was kind of boring, and sometime I found him a bit unclear. Grade C- He was sick, but last night was far from his best.
Overall Grade B-
Christian-First Round, he did his usual screaming rather than singing. It was absolutely not very good and I'm being nice. Grade D- Second song was a little better, still I didn't like it, and I'm being nice. Grade D Overall have no clue how he has advanced this far.
Overall Grade D-
Huntergirl- First round was a good solid choice. Also like that she changed the song, but it still kind of worked, as she made it more rock than pop. Grade B+ Second song was perhaps the best song for mom, she was rock solid on it. Grade B+ The end result is she moved up my ranking from last night.
Overall Grade B+
Noah- Normally I like him and I acknowlege he was sick, and was singing in a hotel room, which is a disadvantage anyway you cut it. First performance was ok, sometimes his clarity in the way he sings is a negative, but that song did nothing for him in my opinion. He was not Bad though. Grade C+ Second song he was better, still I heard his voice being a bit limited last night because he was sick. He sang it decently. Grade B All things considered probably did great considering the condition of singing in a hotel room and being sick in my opinion.
Overall Grade B-
Nicolina- Sang one of my many favorite songs of all time in round 1. She did a very good Job. Grade B+ Second song for the grandmother, was a good song, and although she is a brilliant vocalist, my knock on her is sometimes you feel nothing. This song I felt something. Grade A-
Overall Grade A-
My favroites overall were Nicolina, Fritz, and Noah Coming in, but HUNTERGIRL made me a believer last night, so she joined my top 4. As for Leah She is vastly superior to Christian and Jay who should not be here at this point, and were my two overwhelming choices to go home at this point. Leah for me has personality when she performs, and has a decent voice, but when she speeds up she get exposed. If she signs something slower, she finds the right song, which she has several times this season, she can be very good, but not as good as the top 4 for me, because I find her more limited in that sense.
I thought it should be Jay and Christian going home and America agreed with me. So we have the right top 5 of Nicolina, Fritz, Noah, HUNTERGIRL and Leah in my opinion. All is just my opinion, and I could always be wrong though.
rest in peace my friend. sigh.
so, skilz, its just you and…
…
me now since learning of the passing of onebgg….
I got caught up on the idol shows late tonight…
so sad that onebgg is gone/passed away. i had no idea. this is so sad. and drummer man (still in the mod spot) passed years ago. he showed me how to post links here even when he was sick. i still have the instructions, as i printed them up, its still in a drawer for memory’s sake.
anyway, i took notes so…. here we go. sigh… (still crying and hard to type this out)
Disney night…
katie, one of the judges, once again gets all of the attention on her as she is dressed like a mermaid and falls off her chair, scares everyone…
singers…
lady K- off key
noah- sang you've got a friend in me, he nailed it and i loved the stage as toy story is one of my top fav movies of all time.
emyrson- no thx
hunter girl- good but not great
jay- meh
leah- loved it and she reminds me of dolly parton.
nicolina- great stage presence and she sang great.
mike- hmmm, nope
christian- too dramatic and too much yelling
fritz- wow, super geeky family but they are super happy so thats nice… good but not great
———-
next show was the “idol reunion”
omg, what is wrong with randy jackson? is he ok?? i know he did the weight loss thing years ago but he looked frail and weak.
i enjoyed most of the show, but it was awkward at times.
where was kelly clarkson??
then the next show was the mother’s day show..
top 7 sing…
uh oh, noah and fritz got covid. that crap is still going around. i still know of many friends that are still catching it, so i dont know if its ever going away.
leah, uh oh, she was not good for her first turn.
jay, yuck
fritz- not great, but he is sick. sooo
christian- no thx
hunter (girl) it was ok, not great
next round..
noah- fantastic!
nicolina- good gut not great
jay, still a bit NOPE
fritz- loved it!
leah- her mom looks just like her… she did very good, but seemed like an odd song to her mom.
hunter- good, a little flat, but a sweet song to her mom
noah- it sad that his parents dumped him onto his grandma but that is a trend now days… loved his song… even with covid, he did great.
nicolina- ok but boring
christian- it was ok.
noah, fritz and leah are 3 of the 5 that i care about that go through to the next round.
i may have mixed up some of the songs per the shows but i tried to take notes and keep up.
im so sad about onebeg. so sad.
heres a song i sang… maybe onebgg would have liked or commented on it.
oh no! i just learned that onebeg passed!
ooooo, i LOVE that you replied! I am a couple shows behind but i want to say it was leah (i dont know all their names yet since i just realized the show was NOT taping, rrrr!) but its the goofy girl, she sang an older song, hmmm, what was the name of it, .. she got to pick a choice of 3. but she was amazing!
her guitar playing was NOT good, it was distracting, but she was beautiful and sang beautiful!
so, i will try and get caught up on the last one or 2 that is waiting for me to watch and post. for now, i will just post the ones i liked vs all of them, but i enjoyed reading all of your reviews.
oooo, how fun that you are back. now we just need our other buddy to show up here. we were the 3 amigos here.
I thought nobody was around, so I stopped posting , yet I have watched, there have been numerous good performances throughout the season.
Out of the 7 that are left:
Fritz- Is a good emontional singer. I like the emotion he sings, at although, his vocal isn't always perfect. But the emotion he gives off when he sings is why I like him. I personally think he might be very popular, and think he has a good shot to win the contest.
Leah-She has moments where she can really sing, followed by moments of being a complete mess. I actually like when sings ballads, but when she sings uptempo it kind of sometimes feels a bit all over the place. Should be here at this point. But her time should be coming soon to go in my opinion, especially if she sings one of those uptempo all over the place songs this week.
Jay- He can sing, but sometimes it all feels a little too broadway for me, and not that of a recording artist. I had him being cut last week. However he is still here at this point.
Huntergirl- She has her moments, and she is likeable, and she fills the female country singer role this year. But vocally she does make her share of mistakes. Probably should of gotten here, but once again feel the same way about her as I do Leah, belongs here, don't think she should go much further.
Nicolina-The best Vocalist in the competition. She has the most range and power of anyone in the competition. Only Knock I have with her is she rarely picks the best song for her.
Noah- He is a good country male singer. He doesn't always pick the right song for himself. But I do like Him, for me he is a contender. Than again I feel that way about Nicolina and fritz as well.
Christian- How this guy is still here is beyond me. I think America has gotten confused with singing with power and screaming. For me he should of been cut several weeks back, but keeps advancing nonetheless.
My favorites Right now Are Nicolina, Fritz, and Noah, I will say I like Huntergirl, and Leah when she sings a ballad, they have there moments. Jay for me is too broadway, and christian shouldn't be here in my opinion. The one person that I thought should of went much further was Emyrson, but she was eliminated last week. Time will tell, but my take on the whole season for what it is worth. All is just my opinion, and I could always be wrong though.
i dont know if you are still here, but im a couple shows behind but my winner for that current night is….
…
Leah- “make you feel my love”
seemed like it would be a train wreck when she practiced it but she knocked it out of the park!
hey onebgg, checking with you as well to see if you still watch?
i just started, and replied to skilz and wanted to see if you are too.
hows things your way? things are quite good with me and the hubby.
hey there! for some reason, my tv was not taping idol but im watching now. i didnt take the time to write down names, but saw some good singers and som not so great.
are you still watching? i miss posting all the details of who and what we liked or hated.
hope to hear back and hope all is ok with you.
love the reviews and thx again for……
…
getting me back into idol even though i missed all the drama and just started when you said it was better this year.
as usual, i will miss our chats until next season.
take care.
My Take on the show last night
Round 1
1) Grace- I thought her first song was above average, but Nothing special. Just don't feel it, almost always when she performs. She can sing but makes me feel nothing, and sometimes overdoes the vocal. This one was more In the I didn't feel it box. Grade B-
2) Willie- I thought he sang decently, but once again, not the best song for him. Grade B-
3) Chacye- Terrible song choice for him, boring and draggy vocal. Just a average Performance. Grade C
Round 2
1) Grace- Disliked the timing, thought she was pitchey inparts. This was more a over done vocal. Didn't like it. Grade C-
2) Willie-A decent song, sang it fine, but at the same time was nothing special either. Grade B-
3) Chacye- Sang it well, better song. Was definitely above average. Grade B-
I thought grace should be cut and that is what happened.
Final Round.
1) Chacye- Solid vocal, solid song. But as always for me, he just never does it for me. I know he has talent, but it will generally only get to above average for me. Grade B-
2) Willie- Best song and vocal of the night for me. and it wasn't even close. Plus I felt something with that song. Grade A-
I thought willie should win rather easily, but chacye won, as the voters disagreed. Anyways that concludes my thought on this. Have a great day.
Skillz… not sure if you are…….
..
still here?? but i watched the final show.. here is my take on it… and i am typing in the notes that i took AS i watched it, not after….
I hated the intro, rap and hip hop, fast forwarded….
now, for round ONE….
Grace - was rocky, she looked tired and stressed but I can only imagine what all of this is like at this point. I dont think they should put her in super tight mermaid like dresses with her “figure” but she is still a pretty lady just the same. it was just OK. the judges gushed over her as it was what they requested.
Willie- I love the song “Georgia” but his lisp was very distracting. at least he was on key where Grace missed some notes.
Chayce- I love the song “Blackbird” but it did not fit his style but i love his tone. the judges hinted he would not make it. hmmm. odd.
round 2…
Grace sang a Witney Houston song… was way better than before but the song was rushed, not her fault. I just didnt feel it.
Willie- he did good. he didnt have the lisp this time. their comments to him actually made me tear up a bit. but i reall want chayce to win.
Chayce- sings a Chris Stapleton song. the hubby and I love Staplenton! Chayce sounds much like him but needs to sing louder so we can hear him. it was way better than his first song. I am hoping a manly man song will finally win Idol. lets see what happens. he is SO humble that he nearly walked off stage before they were done talking to him. lol
Willie and Chayce make it to top #2! Grace is gone, but i was sure Grace would win over Willie.
then the fluffy stuff, like the judges sing, or people sing that i never heard of…. ugh.
but i loved the “jingle” that one idol contestant sang about the show. that was really good.
then I just had to fast forward through tons of icky fluff…. but the guy “murphy”, who was booted, did oddly good during the fluff-fest.
the rest of the fluff-fest was just awkward.
then i loved the part where the other contestnats mock the top two. they have done that in the past and that is one of my favorite parts of the show.
Final song….
Chayce- he was good, very good, but weak sounding and tired, as he should be after a LONG night.
Willie- sappy as usual, but good.
so, it is sappy vs manly man stuff.
the winner is ….
Chayce!!!!!!! thank God… American might just get back into manly man music so the young boys can aspire to be more like him!!
Thx so much Skyls for getting me to watch Idol again after I gave up over the sad sappy stories that won them the title vs singing and talent. I had given up on the show but you insisted its worth another try.
loved it! please keep in touch here.
Gail
i finally watched… Idol’s top 4…
chayce- my fav but he blew this one…
casey- just blah
grace- yuck
willie- over churchy and shaky.
round 2-
chayce- loved it
casey- beautiful girl but singing was not great.. she lacked the energy that the band had.
its always tacky when the judges sing and want all of the attention… lol
Grace- very powerful, wow, but will her “asset” hold her back? just sayin’ what others are thinking…
Willie- NOPE.
Casey and Chayce duet… very good.
Grace and Willie- meh
Casey goes home. but Willie should have gone home.
still not had time to watch, but i hope to for sure tonight and will report back.
great review, thx! will watch it tonight, hopefully
My Take on the Show Last Night.
Round 1
1) Chacye- Solid Vocal, not the most exciting song, but Solid. Grade B-
2) Casey- Disliked the song choice, Sang is just okay, but normally better. Grade C+
3) Grace- I Didn't like that all. Seemed like she was off, and sometimes screaming the song. Thought it was below average. Grade C-
4) Willie- Sang it increibly well. Didn't love the arrangement. But the vocal was very good. But the arrangement Holds it back a bit for me. Grade B
Round 2
1) Chacye- His original Song was okay, he sounded okay. The cover Was better and rock solid. Grade B-
2) Casey- I'm usually a big fan, but I didn't think she was good last night. The original song wasn't great, the cover was worse. A combo of being off with timing, bad notes, some pitchiness and Some Screaming as well. Grade C-
3) Grace- The original song was decent, And she sang it well. The cover was Above Average. Grade B
4) Willie- The original Song was decent and sang well. The Cover was Probably the best of the night. Grade B+
The Duets
Chacye and Casey- Was just okay for me. Casey didn't have great control over her voice last night, and chacye kind of gets drounded out singing next to her. Grade C
Grace and Willie- Willie was good, but Grace certainly wasn't on this song. She was pitchey. Overall didn't love it Grade C-
I personally was debating between cutting Grace who was my choice to cut coming in, and Casey who was my favorite, because she had a tough night, where her vocals weren't great combined with not great song choices. Casey was the worst of the night, but I thought overall Casey was better than grace over the contest. So I would of eliminated Grace, but they eliminated Casey. Right now I see Willie as the winner of this thing and it isn't even close to me at this point. All is just my opinion, and I could always be wrong though.
I can't say I agree with you on this for many reasons. I agree with him being gone. All is just my opinion of course.
wohhh! just heard that Caleb was pushed off the show because years ago, when he was a kid, someone near him had a KKK hat on, but his mom said it was the hat of a character, but either way, this is crazy. so, what happens as a young kid, still gets you in trouble for the rest of your life?
skillz, i just watched and here is my take on the show…
..
i am not posting about the ones i dont like, why bother…
ding ding ding….
round one,
I love the mentor, Chris.. he is great with all of them…
casey- she is good and beautiful, but not great. but she is your typical all American girl but not for long, the way things are going. sigh.
chayce, just love his tone and voice… very manly and over the years, you know i like manly men, not wimpy high pitched crying men.
caleb’s song was manly but not good.
grace was quite good but, i am just saying.. her big “asset” is going to be a struggle for her. she looks amazing but its hard to look past the “asset”. sigh.
round 2- ding ding…
chayce— once again, loved it, very intense, a tad flat at time but great.
caleb- nice tone but still just average.
grace, again, very good but why put a tight dress on her?? sigh.
my fav of them all is Chayce. and he made the top 5.
well, it sounds like this week’s show was…
…
better than the prior week, so i will watch this one. its recorded on my dvr.
i love your reviews. you put a lot of time and effort into them, so i want to make sure that i take the time to read them.
i still miss the first few years of Idol, as it has spun way out of control later, but its still something ot watch.
My Take on the Show Last Night.
They had two rounds.
Songbook Round
1) Casey- Didn't love the song for her. She sang if fine, but nothing great either. Grade B-
2) Chayce- Picked a very good song for him, and showed more power than I was used too, too be honest. He sang the song very well, one of his best. Grade B+
3) Willie- Picked a good song for him, and did it extremely well. Was a excellent vocal, with a excellent song. Grade A-
4) Caleb- Don't love, his tone with his style. He's got a country tone, yet often times he doesn't sing like one, and signs like a rock singer, which doesn't work for me for some reason. Grade C-
5) Arthur- Another horrible vocal, he literally wrecked the song with the arrangement as well. Why is he here? Grade F
6) Grace- A brilliant Song choice, was talked into the right song choice. Less is more for Grace. She thinks overpowering a song makes it sound great for some reason sometimes. It is better when you build a song up and with her voice going 80% power is enough, and her lower voice is pretty as well. Her best performance to date, as she connected emotionally, and sang it well with a excellent song. Grade A
7) Hunter- That was not a great song, with a bad and I do mean really bad vocal. Grade F
Mom Round
1) Casey- I've always like the song and she sang it well, but as the song was going on I was forced to asked, how is this song exactly dedicated to mom or anyone for that matter. Grade B
2) Chayce- Picked a original song, the song was great, plus it made sense for who it was dedicated too. Plus he sang it very Well. Best performance to date and not even close. Grade A
3) Willie- It was okay, but far from his best. Didn't love how he did that song, and the song had some slight vocal issues. Grade C+
4) Caleb- Sang an original song, Better than his first performance song was okay, he was okay as well. Grade C+
5) Arthur- Better than round 1, but that isn't saying much, because it still wasn't a good vocal in my opinion. Grade D
6) Grace- Sang a decent song, and outside of a few minor flaws she sang it well and was connected, not as good as the first song, but still very good song and a very good vocal. Grade B+
7) Hunter- Another bad vocal, better than his round 1 performance, but that isn't saying much because it was still pretty bad. Grade D+
I expected Hunter and Arthur to be cut, and that is exactly what happened. So In my opinion America got it right. All is just my opinion of course.
wow, in this case, I ………..
..
will skip it since i have not yet seen it, it was taped on dvr. but i read your thoughts, sounds like a waste of time.
maybe next week will be better.
