omg, we just crossed in the…
…
mail here, so im about to read yours and go and read mine.
ok there mr Skilz! here is MY take on both the sunday and monday night shows…
…
lets do this!
sunday-
- elise- the song was too slow and just blah
- oliver- sadly, it too was blah. he needs to stick to many man songs.
- matt (your fav on this night) was just ok with me. sorry about that.
- kaeyra- great look and outfit but i didnt like the song that much
- pjai (i miss simple names, lol)… as usual, i hate his stuff. all of it, that whole “package” and the supposed music.
- zach- a great oldy (song) but the kids now days may not get that style and it was a bit cheesy. he was good though and reminded me a bit of young “meatloaf”
- marina- has a Bonnie Raitt style. it was very good.
- emma- too much “old lady vibrato” and was boring.
- warren- haha, omg, i was cracking up at the “just throw the hat” thing, but he held onto his hat during the song, which was great, on point and manly. not girly girl for a guy song.
- nailyah- (again, with the names, i have to pause to write down how to spell them, lol)- love the song choice (brings me back to the day when i was young and it was the first person that i knew of that died of breast cancer in 1979 at just 31! Minnie roperton was her name. this was just before my mom got her (first round) with breast cancer. then i got it in 2017, but hey, i kicked its ass. . ok, so, back to the song… nailyah did great and hit notes beyond the original song! i really enjoyed the song.
- haven- hated it
- lucy- ummmm.. NO! No, from the outfit to the singing and omg, i was uncomfy and felt embarrassed for her as i watched.
- Iam- it was good but those faces he makes. lol
————
ding ding ding—- round 2, monday night..
———-
- some crazy lady named “Noah” was their mentor? she reminded me of morticia addams or Marolyn mason, lol!
ok, so, here we goooooo…
- elijah- horrible!
- paige- horrible outift and the song was odd.
- marybeth- uh oh,, mushy start and i didnt like the song
- We’ - the cartoon voice lady- she usually sings really well but i didnt like this song.
- michael- great looking guy and it was ok, but too sappy for me.
- dawson- hated it
- hannah- also hated it
- megan- nope, sorry
- olivia- it was good but not great.
then , the freaky mentor lady sang a song and it was awful as was her “dress”
- colin- wow- he lost the hate, looked great, rocked it but the judges were hard on him. so, they seem to like sappy girly stuff i guess. he was a littel off key at one point. but before lionel said it, i was like “dont say you love your mom right after a manly man song like that” and then the judge also said it, lol.
- tyson- it was ok but weak
- nutsa (from another country, but here on “American idol) had good vocals but too skanky of a performance, imo.
the sunday group mopped the floor with the monday group.
your thoughts??
My Take on Monday's Show
I thought Monday was far weaker overall than sunday if I was comparing. Granted 3 people go home from each night.
1) Elijah- Didn't love the song choice. I thought it was an average vocal. And by far the worst we have heard from him. It was clearly missing something, and was flat in parts and off in a few other. Grade C
2) Paige- Sang a MC song was far from perfect. She did hit some good notes along the way, but at time she also hit a few bad notes as well. Slightly Above Average. Grade C+
3) Mary Beth. Didn't love her tone on that song. Not a perfect vocal as she hit some bad notes, and some good ones as well. Average Performance. Grade C
4) We Ani- I continue to say she can flat out sing. Can't say I seen her singing a song like a rock singer. Probably not my favorite performance from her, still very, very good for me. Grade A-
5) Michael- I don't like his tone on this song, and I thought he was very unclear in parts, not a great vocal for me to say the least. Below average. Grade C-
6) Dawson- I'm not his biggest fan generally, and this was one of the strangest performances of the two night. I kind of liked it, and thought it was decent, although probably not for everyone either. Grade B-
7) Hannah- Didn't love how she sang the song. She was sick which obviously didn't help the vocal either. Just Average at best for me. Grade C
8) Megan- She has a not very nice tone. A combination of a nasally pitch when she sings for power, and a horse tone, and the combo just doesn't go for me. And she screamed a ton for me as well. I really didn't like it. Grade D
9) Malik- Weak in the beginning, hit some good note towards the end, also overperformed it as well. Just Average. Grade C
10) Olivia- Sang a MC Hit, and she did the song Justice. One of the better singer in this competiton. Not my favorite MC Song, but this girl can flat out sing. It was very good for me. Grade B+
11) Collin- Usually a huge fan of his. Not the song choice I expected, and too be fair it was in my opinion, not a very good choice. I thought it was a average at best vocal. Worst we have seen from him also so far. Grade C
12) Tyson- It wasn't perfect, and he did spent a little too much time shaking hand with the audience, and kind of got lost in the song in a small part of the song or so it seemed. His vocal was solid though. Overall I still kind of liked it. Grade B-
13) Nutsa- That was one crazy performance. I'm amazed she was abe to hit some of the notes she did while running all over the stage. But as a collective I didn't like the overall performance, or really like the song either for a contest. Just Average at best. Grade C
Now that my understanding is they eliminate 3 people from each night. Any 3 of the 4 people I mentioned yesterday would do. As for tonight, you can eliminate. a bunch of people but I kind of evaluating more through from an overall perspective down there. outside of two contestants on the no brainer side We ani and Olivia that must go through, and two that were not very good in Megan and Michael. The rest varied from average to decent for me, So It could be 1 of a number of singers. But if I had to go with someone it would either be Malik, Hannah, or Mary beth for the last spot to eliminate. All is just one man's opinion.
i just watched sunday’s ….
….
show and also am about 1/2 way through monday (tonights) show, but am still taking notes.
wanted to check in as i figured, by now (like last time) you would already be posting about monday’s show before i see it, so im hurrying to catch up now, lol
stay tuned!
i hear ya and…
…
im glad you are also a…
night owl like me. we are both up late, but i cheated.. hubby and i were wiped out from a very busy weekend, so when he went to bed (works during the week) i normally catch up on other stuff like stock stuff, or my little youtube channel, etc but i closed my eyes for just a moment and boom, it was a few hours later.. that never happens, so, im gonnna make his lunch and get back to bed soon (i am hoping cxai has a run in the morning (but during regular hours, when small fries like me are allowed to trade them, lol)
talk to you soon my friend!
Very Very Good, is the third best thing I could say about a performance, there are two levels higher. I have seen season where I have not seen the 1rst level, and the second level might only happen once or twice a season, so those are rare. So very Very Good, is rare, but My guess is you will see that about once/twice a week it belongs to the best performance of the night generally if it is a decent show. At least that is my definition anyways.
another great review and….
….
i just read every drop! im not sure if i have ever heard you say that someone was “very very good” soooo, im excited to hear that one for sure, and all of them.
as usual, weekends are busy with the hubby, doing stuff around the house, out and about town, etc. but i plan to try and binge watch this and monday’s show by monday night.
stay tuned for my thoughts, which are never as detailed as yours, but we love us some “idol” just the same.
My Take On The Show Tonight
Overall I thought this was decent show. Lets get to it.
1) Elise- Singing a BT Classic. Started out a little off, and than got into it, and started singing very well through the middle and especially the end of the song. Overall a good but not great performance. She does have incredible Vocal Talent though that is for sure. Grade B
2) Oliver- A very different song for him. But I thought he sang Well, and it was yet another good but not great performance for me. Grade B
3) Matt- A good R & B Singer who found and excellent song for him. I personally thought he sang very well. And this was the best we heard from him. In My opinion a very, very good performance. Grade A-
4) Kaeyra- Singing another one of my many favorite songs, and my favorite song from EV. Wasn't perfect, but a decent vocal. Although it paled to the original. Grade B-
5) Pjae- Sang a JS Song. I didn't love the song choice. And I thought the arrangement was a mess. I thought the vocal was very strange, and the quality of the vocal was below average for me. I really didn't like it. Grade D+
6) Zachariah- Sang a LR Song, and don't think this is the best song for singing competiton. Having said that this guy is an infectious performer, and he has a pretty solid voice. I liked it and thought it was decent, although I admit he is probably not for everyone. Grade B-
7) Mariah- Sang a CS Song. I thought it was the wrong song choice for her. I thought it was off in parts and definetly missing something and bit boring. I thought it was below average. Grade C-
8) Emma- Sang a SS Song. I thought she had a good vocal overall, she does make some unique vocal choice though, but overall I thought it was a good song choice, a good vocal, and a good performance. Grade B
9) Warren- Not the song choice I expected from him to say the least. Have to say he completely changed that song. And I really Liked the way he did that. I thought it was very good. Grade B+
10) Nailyah- Liked the 1rst half much better than the second half, where she sped up. I will say this to sing this song, you have to hit the high pitch note. She hit the high pitch note, which isn't easy to say the least. Not my favorite style, but she can sing. I thought it was decent for me. Grade B-
11) Haven- Picked the right song out of the two she was debating on. Actually performed for a change which is a departure from the singer/songwritter type she normally is. She is a pretty good song writter. Having said that, this is a singing competition, and although her vocal were better than I expected, her voice is not strong enough in my opinion. Barely an average performance. Grade C
12) Lucy- Not her biggest fan to say the least. I don't love her tone, and sometimes I don't like the way she prenounes her words, and she sure does love to scream at times, and oversing. Judges continue to like her. I simply just don't get it. Below average for me. Grade C-
13) I'AM- Overall I liked the performance very much, and thought it was a very good song choice. Best he has been since his audition I thought it was very good. Grade B+
Overall 4 People could be cut for me
Pjae
Mariah
Haven
Lucy
The other 9 should stay in my opinion. At the end of this week we go down from 26 to 20. I see 4 that could easily be eliminated in this group. we will see the other 13 tomorrow. All is just my opinion of course.
hmmm, interesting…
Yes but if you added everyone they said went through (Sunday and Monday), you would realize they only had top 25, yet they said top 26, hence I guess they needed to add one more to get there, whether that was intentional or not who knows? All is just my opinion of course.
they said, at the end of the monday show, that they normally only have 24 but put 26 through, i think it was all played out on the monday show.
You know when I did the math on tuesday they only put 25 people through, eventhough they said it was a top 26. I noticed Paige was on the AI Contestants page. Maybe she is back in, was a mistake for them to cut, as I thought her voice is among the 10 best this season in my opinion. Saw this yesterday, just thought I would mention it. Anyways just one mans opinion.
OMG SKILLZ! I WAS SURE I WAS ABOUT TO BEAT YOU IN POSTING ABOUT MONDAY’S SHOW BUT YOU BEAT ME AGAIN!
i was all proud of myself for watching 4 long hours (well, i f/f through the commecials) and wrote pages of notes.
so, i just read yours…
so, here goes my sunday AND monday thoughts..
sunday…
- kaeyra- loved her odd outfit but the song was just ok
- warren- a manly man song and i loved it, great stage presence too
- nutsa- i wanted to like it but hated it
- adin- horrible, yet the judges gushed over him.
- micheal- too wimpy of a song. good looking boy but the song was mousy and depressing like so many of the “now day” songs are.
- pjae- hated it
- malik- it was not great but was good. i try to look away to really hear the song and avoid the hype
- we’- the lady with the fake talking voice (and its fake, sorry, but its fake) but its a gimmick so, whatever. anyway, she. did AMAZING. TOP NOTCH.
- zach- hard song to do (queen) but. not good

MONDAY NIGHT-
- paige gets the boot, huge mistake
- marybeth- nope!

- matt- meh… it was just ok
- colin- it was manly and good but flat and off key at times
- iam- loved it
- so there is a top 26, not top 24. hmmm.
My Take On the Show Tonight
1rst Performance- (Paige VS Megan) A continuation of where they left off. Megan sings, she sang a lot better than I expected, But I still don't love her tone. So it is paige in a landslide for me, Judges disagreed and put megan through. I thought Paige should of made it through but that was a mistake for me.
2nd performance- (Mary Beth) Not my favorite CU song, in fact I think I could choose 10 song off the top of my head before I get to that one. Probably more. I thought there was a bit of screaming and yelling in this performance. Was just average for me, and I would lean to not putting her through, but the judges disagreed and put her through.
3rd performance- (Oliver) Wasn't my favorite performance from him as I liked him waaaaaaaaaaay better on other songs, this song, I didn't love the arrangement. I like his voice, but that arrangement wasn't very good and I'm being nice. I would put him through based on both past performances, and the quality of his voice. The judges put him through.
4th Performance ( Emma) Have not been her biggest fan, has always been too theatrical for me. still a little theatrical, but overall thought this was the best we heard her by a country mile. And overall thought it was a very solid performance. Judges put her through and on that performance I agreed.
5th Performance (Preston) Male country singer, with a average ordinary vocal, feel like his voice just needs to be stronger. So I would of passed and the judges passed as well.
6th Performance (Elijah) A PT Holder, Not my favorite song for him. But still his voice is more than solid enough for him to go through as he can sing. I thought he should go through and the judges agreed.
7th Performance (Elise And Olivia) Elise Sang a classic song, not sure I loved every vocal choice this girl made. But she has outragous range and hit notes most people could only dream about with excellent control. She has one of the best female voice in this competition. Overall a very good performance. Olivia Sang a CD song, although in fairness it was a remake for CD. She sang incredibly well once again, she can flat out sing as well. In fact they are probably two of the three best female vocalists in this competition along with Wei. At this point I'm saying this better not be a sing off, because only stupidity would let either of these girls go at this point. As both are no brainers, the judges agreed and both went through.
8th Performance- (Dawson) Have not been his biggest fan. His vocal was a bit boring in the beginning as well as the song, did pick it up towards the end of the song. Not the strongest vocalest in the compeition, but the performance was above average for me. Was on the fence leaning towards a yes and the judges put him through.
9th Performance- (Cam) A PT Holder, who came off a horrific round in the duets. I thought he had a decent vocal, but I agree with the judges the lack of confidence when he singing is apparent and takes away from the performance. I was on the fence, the voice seems solid, the confidence doesn't. The judges say no.
10th performance (Mckenly, caroline, and Kaia)- Kaia from what I heard was just okay, not the right song for her. Caroline sang one of my many favorite songs, I actually from what I heard thought she did a good job. Mckenly was okay singing a BC song for me from what I heard. I would of only put caroline through from what I heard, the judges put no one through.
11th performance (Mariah) a female country singer, who as a whole thought performed relatively well with a above average vocal. I would lean on putting her through, and the judges did just that.
12th performance (Hannah) The former Volleyball player, sang a GD song which is another one of my many favorite songs. For me though just an average vocal from hannah and missing something. I would of sent her home, judges disagreed.
13th performance (Nailyah)- Started off a very boring and average vocal, than started trying to hit some crazy notes at the end, for me some of them didn't hit. A little too broadwayish for me as well. I would of passed, but the judges put her through.
14th performance (Trey) The Mattress Salesman, I somewhat like him generally, but he picked the wrong song at the wrong time. The vocal wasn't perfect to say the least (And I'm being nice when I say that), and I think the song was too hard rockish for him, as I don't think he is that kind of singer. I couldn't put him through after that, neither did the judges.
15th Performance (I'am, Matt, and Collin) All go to see the judges at the same time. I generally like all 3 singer and by my math there is only 1 spot left. But I thought something was odd when all 3 came in. As at this point I had 13 girl and just 10 guys. First Matt sings- They show him singing a CB Song, he was decent, but that is about it here, as this wasn't his best performance, although he has a good voice, and a good r & b singer. For me an slightly above average performance. Than Collin sings, who I generally like a lot Sang a CS, not perfect, but a good performance, and a good vocal, this guy can sing. Than I'am came on during the auditions phase he was one of my favorites, but as time has gone on I have realized his vocal are not as strong as I thought they were. Having said that I still like him. He sang a classic song, did what he does best sing it very emotionally, and make you feel something. Decent vocal, although I wish there was more power in some parts of the song. I like All 3 probably in the order of Collin, I'am and than Matt, and would put all 3 through, the judges put all 3 through. Which gives us a top 26 not a top 24.
Anyways just one man's opinion on the show.
They said they changed there mind and eliminated someone else instead (Would be interesting to know who they eliminated, not that I think we are gonna get that info.). And kept both. To be fair I thought the sing off neither of them sounded great, not that should be expected with a song kind of forced on you and a hour to prepare. All is just my opinion of course.
great review, so you are saying that malik and pj had to battle it out, all for not, both go through.
seems if 2 have to battle it out, it should mean one goes home.
sounds like another interesting show.
i plan to watch it tonight. thx for the super in-depth review.
My Take On The Show Last Night
1rst Performance (Kaeyra) Sang a song by BB, and made it a nice rock moment. She can sing, and this performance she sang very well, although I have consistently liked her when we have seen her. A No brainer for me to be in the top 24, and the judges put her though.
2nd Performance (Warren) Sang a classic song, the Appliance repair technician. Not my favorite song for him to sing. But he sang it very well as is constently good as usual. A No brainer for me to be in the top 24, and the judges put him though.
3rd Performance (Nutsa) Coming off the rocky duets with the unprofessional partner. Sang a Classic TT song, not my favorite song for a competition either. I think she overperformed and had just an average vocal. I was on the fence leaning towards a no, but the judges put her through.
4th performance (Aidan) Sang a CP Song, the guy who is on the spectrum. I didn't love the vocal to say the least or the performance. I woudn't put him through obviously and the Judges agreed.
5th performance (Michael) Not a great song choice for him. Slighty Above Average Vocal for me. Nothing exciting, than again he could of used a better song. I was on the fence leaning towards a yes, and the Judges put him through.
6th Performance (Malik and Pjae see the Judges together. When we seen the performances Pjae can sing, but a strange style, that I'm not sure everyone is gonna like. I personally was on the fence. Than they show malik, with a standard decent R & B Singer performance, he didn't wow me, but he can sing. Pleasant but forgettable. Was on the fence leaning towards a yes. Than they have a sing off, they give them a hour to come up with a song choice which they kind of guide them too. Obviously not enough time in my opinion to prepare, I didn't think either sounded particularly well, not that you should expect that with that limited time to get ready. So I ignored the sing off for that reason. I was kind of on the fence leaning towards malik if I had to choose. They Choose both which was kind of surprising.
7th Performance (Wei) Sang a AF Song. She can flat out sing, one of the best vocalists in this competition, and this perofrmance didn't nothing to change my mind on that. Right Now the favorite for me at the moment. A No brainer for me to be in the top 24, and the judges put her though.
8th Performance (Zachariah) The Burger guy. Sang a classic rock song He is a quirky performer to say the least Above Average Vocal and for some reason is growing on me. Don't want to like it, but I do for some reason. Should go through to the top 24, and the judges agreed
9th Performance (Katelyn) A PT holder, Sang one of my many favorite songs. Started off pretty bad and didn't get much better throughout. I wouldn't put her through and the judges agreed.
10th performance (Tyson) Had trouble with the nerves and forgetting the words in the beginning. But if you listen this guy can sing. Not a perfect vocal, and he has to battle the nerves better. But this PT Holder still can sing His voice has top 10 perhaps better potential in my opinion. A No brainer for me to be in the top 24, and the judges put him though.
11th performance (Haven) She is a very good songwritter, but her vocal on this cover, was a complete mess in my opinion. Totally exposing her voice is not strong enough. Wouldn't put her through, but judges disagreed.
12th performance (Fire) Here comes the drama. Sang for her okay, for anyone else slightly below average. Should of been gone a long time ago in my opinion. Obviously I think she shouldn't go through and judges finally agreed.
13th Performance (Lucy) Not her biggest fan. Singing a RS Song Don't love her tone, and she screams when she powers up. Obviously Wouldn't put her through, but judges disagreed, have no clue what they see in her.
14th Performance (Paige and Megan) Paige was in the hotel room, she I guess didn't feel well. Sang a classic song, not perfect, but she can sing. Even sick and even in a hotel room. Megan sang a LG Song and it was awful for me. Both off in a lot of parts and a not so great tone. For me it is obvious Keep Paige and send Megan Home. But they have a sing off. Paige did a pretty good job considering the shorttime frame to prepare it wasn't a perfect vocal, but it flashed talent. We didn't get to hear megan in the sing off, but time will tell, I find it hard to believe megan can top that but we will find that out tonight.
Just one man's opinion anyways on the show last night.
i agree and will be watching those for sure.
Sunday's show was much better than monday, there were numerous people that you didn't even see this round, next round they get to perform solo to see who is in the top 24, which will find out over a period of this upcoming sunday and monday. So that should be interesting in my opinion. Anyways have a nice day.
and yes, i just saw your edit there too.
wowza, now that was another…
….
very thorough review!!
i am shocked to hear that our many men did NOT do well, but im glad at least they get another chance.
i may skip it since its a lot of drama as i have so much going on, that it sounds like i wont miss much.
once again, i felt like i just watched the whole show with your very in-depth report there! thx for all of that!
My Take on Monday's show
I will say this duet are my least favorite part of Hollywood week. You get crazy drama, and too be fair given the whole process, to put two people together, who have essentially never met, to try and pick a song, on less than 24 hours to work on it, with zero sleep, and try to agree on a song, key, etc. And do it well it is meant for drama. And also to have some trainwrecks. Just my take on the duets.
1) 1rst Duet ( Lucy And Elijah (PT Holder)) Song was a old classic, which for me is not a great song to sing in a singing competition most of the times it always sounds karoke for me. The duet was just okay. Elijah was decent but not great, but Lucy who they love continue to overperform and over sing to absurd levels, what can I say I'm clueless on what they see in her. Both go through, I would of personally advanced Elijah, and let lucy go.
2) 2nd Duet (Karina And Nutsa) The drama begins with these two. This Karina was a beep machine. It was below average I actually expected worse with the drama. Karina has limited range, was flat as a pancake, and completely unprofessional. Nutsa didn't have a great vocal either. If I was basing on this performance alone, both would go home. But the last performance from Nutsa would of given her a pass for me with that excellent performance on the CD Song. I would of Kept Nutsa and Cut Karina, And the judges agreed.
3) 3rd Duet (Elise and Matt) This was a very good duet. Matt is a solid r & b singer, and elise is a very good pop/country singer. And together they both sang very well by themselves and together. Obviously I feel both should go through and both did.
4) 4th Duet (Warren and Hannah) Another very good duet as both were excellent vocally, sang well together. This was a no brainer. Both should go through and both did.
5) 5th Duet (Zachariah and Isaac) There two guys picked the wrong song for them, and it was obvious as neither of them could remember the song. They came out with there phones to read the song, the judges told them just to sing. They basically had to make up every word. I give the creativity to make up things as you go. And the worked as a team, so that is a plus. But still Isaac, sounded terrible, and zachariah was a lot better. I personally would of put zachariah thorugh based on his voice, and passed on Issac, but both went thorugh.
6) 6th Duet (Kaylin (PT) and Tyson (PT)- just an average duet for me. Kaylin was very pitchey on this song, as it clearly wasn't the right song for her. Tyson was much better, as he was solid he can sing. Based on this performance I would of cut kaylin and kept tyson. But I would keep both of them based on Kaylin past performance. So I would put both through and the judges agreed.
7) 7th Duet (Preston and Jon)- A boring duet as I found the performance flat. Singing was okay. I was on the fence with both. They decided to Put preston through and send Jon home, to be fair was indifferent to that decision.
8) 8th Duet (I'am and Oliver)- I'am guitar that his dad gave him, litterally broke right before his performance. He looks inconsolable. Overall a above average duet. Oliver was signifcantly better than I'am. To be fair I'am after being an early favorite for me, I question if his voice is good enough in the long run, but for right now good enough to get through. Both should go through and both did.
9) 9th Duet (Aidan,Summer and Jayna)- Had Aidan guy looking for a partner (More Drama), as there was an odd number of contestants. Summer and Jayna accept him for a trio. a very strange performance overall, and not sure whether I liked it. Did Like the teamwork though. I thought Jayna was the best of the bunch, probably would of cut Aidan and kept the rest, but they kept them all.
10) 10th duet (Wei and Pjae)- This was one of the craziest performances I have ever seen Kind of liked it. I happen to believe Wei is one of the most talented singers in this compeition, and she was excellent again. I have questions about Pjae voice longer term, but rides the benefit of creativity in this performance. So would put both through, and the judges agreed.
11) 11th Duet (Cam (PT) and Jae)- Jae actually quits on Cam. Cam was mess after this. Than Jae cmes back. Cam was terrible, and I thought Jae was just okay. I would of give Cam a second chance (Based on past performance) and cut Jae for being unprofessional primarily. But the judges put both through.
12) 12th Duet (Fira and Kaia) Singing and AL Song. I mean I have to admit Drama seems to follow Fire, even when it is not really her fault. I mean her partner gets sick, and couldn't perform, but she didn't know that to last minute. Somebody performed with her. Fire Wasn't very good. She should of been cut along time ago. But I have to be fair, eventhough I didn't think it would matter, can't cut someone when they are singing a duet, and there partner last minute doesn't decide to perform. So probably would of put her through based on the reasoning, although believe she should have never been there to start. The judges put her through.
All is just my opinion of course.
my take on the show…..
….
so, its about 2am my time in va, and i just watched the first (of the two) shows since they are so long… i will catch up on the duets one hopefully tomorrow night (wed night that is).. so here is my take on this one here…
i think i missed a couple of them as i fast forwarded, then backed up, then played the show, but i do think i missed a couple of them..
- nutsa- very good
- sarah- was just ok.. then she quit, as you said, and i was fine with it, just let her leave.
- marybeth- it was good
- zach- hated it and way too mousy
- hannah- it was pretty good
- We’- excellent! but i dont buy the fake regular voice, i just dont. time will tell if she slips up, but the singing was great.
- lyric (who names their kid this? or did she change her name? lol)- horrible, hated it
- mckayla- nope
- haven- it was good but too sappy.
- matt- no, but the judges loved it but then, they loved all of them.
- oliver- i love chris stapleton songs but i didnt like his version of it.
- fire, again, who names these kids?? nope, didnt like the song
- lucy- hmm… not impressed but the judges gushed over it.
- brayden- NO
- mariah- nope
- trey- loved it! he was a little pitchy but it just hit me as good.
- emma- wow, she was oddly good, scary, and then oddly really good again. lol. she could do a 007 movie cover song! i truly believe that.
- kamron- no
- megan- i wanted to love it but it was just ok
- dawson- hated it, and too “snowflaky” just like he is. i try to put that all aside and hear the song but the song was crap.
- kya- too churchy for me but they love screaming churchy stuff. so…..
- Iam- it was good, not great but i know that (ihubber) b-rich, who chimed in a couple times, wants him to win. but he needs to at least wear some clothes and try to be presentable. yes, he is from Hawaii, we get it, but just put some clothes on. sigh.
its late so i do plan to watch part 2, wed night. stay tuned.
hey skills, …
…
i still didnt get to idol yet but i really plan to tonight, i have had a LOT going on here on the home front night and day, but lots of nice little improvements going on so i just had not had the time to get to it but its on my dvr, calling my name, lol.
stay tuned..
I'm sure they cut more people (But seemed like it was still packed with people after the cuts). So they coudn't of cut too much. Can't say I blame them for that, it is better to get more info. Before you make more significant cuts in my opinion.
wow, it sounds like nearly everyone got put through. i will watch it tonight and take notes and will try to also see the duets, since you say its on tonight..
i saw it tape last night but just didnt get to it yet.
when i read your reviews, i truly feel like im there, watching, you do a good job describing it all.
My Take On The Show Last Night.
Here is my take.
1) 1rst Person (Nutsa)- She sang a classic CD song. Didn't love her in the auditions, but she was very good here. I thought the vocal was very good in my opinion. No brainer to go through after that performance, and she did go through.
2) 2nd Person (Collin)- The HVAC service technician, cannot understand pretty much a word this guys is saying when he is speaking. Now he is much more clear thankfully when he is singing, has a nice growl, sings pretty well, and solid performance. Should go through in my opinion, and does go through.
3) 3rd Person (Sarah)- First started with the guilt for leaving her kids, I mean you had to know that was part of what was going to happen if you advanced, Didn't you? Sang a classic song, that I really am not a huge fan of for a singing competition. She did maybe slightly above average, was kind of on the fence. Than she quit. They than tried to talk her not to quit, she still quit.
4) 4th Person (Mary Beth)- Sang a song I never heard before, and she has a very unique style. Has a nice growl for a female singer in my opinion, which is far more rare. Overall liked the performance,as she has a decent voice, with a pretty good style. Should Go through and did go through.
5) 5th Person (Zachariah)- Sang a classic rock song, sounded much better singing it there than he did during practice, where I thought he was going to go home for sure. Overall, I thought he sounded decently, a little bit of unusual performer on stage, which to be fair I'm not sure if I liked. Was leaning on him go through at this point, and he did go through.
6) 6th Person (Hannah)- Sang and original Song, which to be fair I thought was very boring. Has a decent voice, but will need better song in the future if she is planning on advancing much further. I thought she should go through for now, And the judges put her through.
7) 7th Person (We Ani)- Not the greatest oringal Song I heard, but much better than the last. I continue to say you wouldn't know it with her talking voice, but she can flat out Sing. A No brainer to go through at this point, and she went through
8) 8th Person (Olivia)- Singing a WH Song, slightly pitchey in parts, but I think there is a good voice in there for the most part. I would put her through at this point, but she will have to clean that up in the future to advance further. I think she shoud go through and she did.
9) 9th Person (Malik)- He can sing, although once again didn't love the song. Could be clearer in parts. But He should easily go through at this point, and he did.
10) 10th Person (Keyera)- Interesting song choice specifically for a female singer. Good Power, unique style, really liked Her version of the SG big hit. A No brainer to go through and she did.
11) 11th person (Lyric)- Didn't like her vocal, it was like broadway/Show tunes style, but I think she missed alot of notes badly as well. Worst we heard on the night at this point. Shouldn't go through, and she didn't.
12) 12th person (Paige)- Didn't love the song choice here, but from what I heard she can sing. Which means I thought she should go through, and she did.'
13) 13th Person (Mikala)- Daughter of former AI Contestant. Not a great tone to say the least, thought the vocal was all over the place. Not very good and I'm being nice, so shouldn't go though and she didn't go through.
14) 14th Person (Haven)- Talked about her brother. Played on the piano, Pretty good original song, her first song that she sang in auditions was pretty good too if I remember correctly. So I believe she is probably the best songwritter in this competition. She does make you feel something when she sings, which is a plus. Slightly Above Average voice, but probably her weakest of all her Skills, piano seemed fine as well when she was playing than again I'm no expert. Overall should easily go through, and she did.
15) 15th Person (Matt) Day Care Worker, Solid Male R & B Singer, didn't love the song, but he can sing. So he should go through, and he did.
16) 16th Person (Oliver) Decent voice, boring song choice, wasn't overly wowed. But did enough to get through, and he probaby should, was on the fence, but was leaning toward putting him though, and he did go through.
17) 17th Person (Fire) The Girl who was back twice, and probably shouldn't of made it this far. Didn't love the vocal, as it simply wasn't good enough in my opinion. She shouldn't go through, but the judges put her through.
18) 18th person (Lucy) Don't love her style, Started off weak, and than she waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overperformed as she did waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many runs, and some screaming as well. I personally thought it was a mess, maybe she can sing, but who would know with what she was doing. Shouldn't go through, but she did.
19) 19th Person (Brayden) Started off where he didn't know what song he was singing (He froze). Overall from what I heard I thought he sang okay. Judges sent him home, and I kind of agreed.
20) 20th person (Mariah) She is got a style, that some may love. I tend to think every song sounds the same, the end result is it is draggy and she seems to suck the life out of it. I think she has a voice though. But for me it would be a no for my above reasons, but she went through.
21) 21rst Person (Trey) The mattress salesman sang a BJ Classic, for me it was just a average vocal. I thought he should go home, but he went through.
22) 22nd person (Emma) Don't love her style, thought the vocal was all over the place. Should not go through, but went through nonethless.
23) 23rd Person (Megan) Sang pretty well Did a good job, and decent vocal. Did get choked up towards the end. But at that point she did more than enough to get through, and she went through.
24) 24th Person (Dawson) Sang a original Song, which I didn't like. I thought it was a bogring and unexciting vocal. And about Average. Thought he shouldn't go through, but they put him through.
25) 25th person (Kiya) Sang a very difficult JH Song, it wasn't perfect, but she sounded good enough overall. Should go through and did.
26) 26th person (Iam)- Liked his first song in audition much better. Sang a BR Classic, did a decent job, as he is a very emotional singer, making you feel something is a strong positive. But to be fair he has far from the best voice here. But good enough to go through at this point quite easily, and they put him through.
Another Show on tonight, here comes the duets. Anyways just one man's opinion. All is just my opinion of course.
Yeppers! Tongi's still my favorite so far, but they do have some good ones that came through:)
ok mr. skillz… here’s my…
..
take. this is the last “audition” show of the season…
they need to really change the name to “American Idol Sob stories”, lol
- Kaerya- from poland- didnt like it at all
- Elise- nasaly but ok
- Sarah- she was good but a bit raw
- Jayna- very good.
- Nate- hmmm, oddly good, but on the fence.
- Mikenly - (hippy looking with hippy dad)… her “poor me” story got her through.. didnt like the singing
- Isaac- thats a big NO.
- Camamen (odd name) but I LOVED IT! the one that raised his sibblings. also, way too many guys cry on this show but its how they are raised now days. but he gets a pass… i felt his pain and sadness in his song and he did a darn good job. however, i dont like that a certain ticket lets you skip important steps and the learning and social skills you miss out on can hinder them later, imo
- Siennna- she had a great look but NO.
- Phil- wow, super interesting looking guy, shy, humble, but he did a really good job.
- the “stripper” gets another chance and i agree with you, it was horrible, again, but her sob story gets her through.
- Kaya- with her famous band dad, but i hated it. awful. but they got caught up on the hype and all, of the dad.
- oliver- hmmm…. im on the fence but is another Christ stapleton wanna be, so he has some stiff competition as there are 2 or 3 others with that style that went through. oh, and i liked his 2nd song much better.
seems next week will be super full of drama, so, lets brace ourself (from what the trailer said about hollywood week)
but i figured it was all relative thus, a month away.
Well it was a month in reality. remember these AI shows are taped and the auditions happen over a period of time, so in reality those two performance happened a month apart, just in the way we watched it happened over a period of a week. Hope this helps.
he “richie” are you still watching?
omg what a super and…
…
detailed review! again, i feel i was there and have not yet watched it. i hope to watch it by monday night. sounds really interesting!
i figured they would put the lady through, that they said to show back up later, but i thought it was going to be a month from now. hmmm.
stay tuned for my thoughts. thx so much for being here, its fun to have you to banter with.
My Take on the show tonight
Overall a much better show tonight. Not saying I loved every vocal choice these people made or loved there style, or song choice, but there at least was more people who I felt had potential to be top 24 or better.
First Person The girl whose mom came from Poland. She played the Piano, she can sing very well, but she hasn't seen a run she hasn't like to sing, in otherwords, I'm all for runs, but sometimes can be overused by an artist. But this is a story for another day, that could hold her back in the future, but at this point she has more than enough talent to get through as she has potential. And the judges put her though, I obviously agree.
Second Person Sang a classic AF song, and with that song, it is very simple if you don't sound terrible, I know you have potential. She sounded decent, hence I thought she should go through and she did.
Third Person Sang a DL song, I thought she was pitchey and off key, hence I would not put her through. Judges put her through though.
Fourth person Wasn't perfect singing the song, but showed more than enough for me at this point. She has potential. Should go through and did.
Fifth Person The 80's rock male music singer lover. Have no clue what KP was doing on the piano. He has the rock scream down. Problem is his regular voice isn't strong enough for me, and I don't love the tone of his voice either. I wouldn't put him through, but the judges did.
Sixth Person Girl was singing with dad playing guitar. She had a eating disorder and was really sick. Definetly a artist type, not sure I loved every vocal choice she made. But she can sing, and is a no brainer to go through, at this point, and she did.
Seventh Person The male busker, once again not sure I love every vocal choice, but I think he can sing.A bit of a performer as well. Not perfect, but a easy decision to put him through at this point in my opinion.
Eight Person Guy who was in foster care and took in his siblings at 18. Sang a classic song, did pretty well considering he seemed a bit choked up singing. It wasn't perfect, but he can sing. And should go through, not sure he deserved the PT, but he should of went through.
Ninth Person Sang a big time past rock hit, admittingly like the band, but wouldn't make my top 5 favorite songs from them to be honest (As, not the greatest song to sing in a singing competition). As I said I have a ton of favorite from that band that never was one of them. Than again I wasn't even born when that song was released. Although I thought she did cover it well. They asked her to sing a second song a KP Song, and she sounded very good. If she is better about song choice and more serious, I think she has decent potential.
Tenth Person A male college student, studying song writting, played a original song, kind of has a bit of country, maybe with a little bit of folk mixed in there. He can sing, he can play the piano really well from what I heard, although I'm no expert. And song was actually very solid as well. Has a decent, solid voice, makes you feel something with his storytelling vibe. He won't blow you away with the vocal tricks, but there is something there. I liked him a no brainer to go through and the judges agreed.
11th person Sang a EJ song, didn't sound very good, then piano play was all over the place for me. I would pass, the judges also passed.
12th person The return of the women with the kid from last week. I actually thought she sounded worse than last week, but they put her through. To be fair might of a bit mean spirited to cut her at this point when you made her make a second trip to a different state. Should of she went through based on that, probably not. But that is okay don't have to be mean, you can always cut her Next week if she doesn't radically improve.
13th Person Dad played in a famous band, and was playing guitar while she sang a original song, the song was solid. She can flat out sing, the last note could of been a bit better, but other than that she was very good to me. And a no brainer to go through. And she went through.
14th Person This was the last singer of the night his dad had a stroke. Didn't love the first song for him, was the wrong song, and bit draggy, was on fence leaning toward no. And that would of been the wrong choice. Because the secong song a classic EC song, he was fantastic perhaps top 10 potential if he is at that level. At that point he was a no brainer for me, and the judges put him through. Anyways that is my take on the show tonight. All is just my opinion of course.
its 2am and i just….
…
watched it, lol.
so, as you did, i wont bother hunting down their names and will just give them nick names, until things get serious, lol….
-lady with dread locks- she was just ok but i didnt like the odd vibrato.
- astrology lady- meh, just meh
- chicken lady- she sang “the dance”. so, it was just average but it really hit me hard as my very long time friend, oakley, and i would sing that at karaoke shows… i would do harmony.. well, as time marched on, i knew he was not doing well and he was getting weak, and we sang it for real, knowing that his days were numbers. so, it reminded me of those memories with him. anyway… she was just ok.
- face piercing lady- meh
- the “flamer” guy that lost weight- it was NOT good but he got through because he ws gay. sorry, but they nearly said it themselves.
- appliance repair guy- and is a Christian.. so, thats cool.. very hard to find (on tv) now days… so, im glad to see it.. and i liked his look. yes, its odd but he had that look and vibe that idol needs, not wimpy limp baby men.. but he didnt sing as good as i had hoped but it was good.
- the next two should not have gone through
- Paige is 16 but looks 30. hmmm. she too was just ok. she looked a lot like karaen carpenter in the look, the clothes and even her shape.
- oprah- good but needs a LOT more energy.
- the cashier guy- odd but good- and a nice kid- but not good enough, yet, he goes through.
- harmonica boy- he was just ok
- the stripper (mom) who sang in front of her toddler.. boring, weak but as you said, they tell her to come to the show in a month and try again. i assume they will pay for that, otherwise she has to really dance on a pole a lot to get the money to do that.
she said, “I dont want it, I need it”.. so, thats not a good reason to get on idol.
another great review and…
….
i still didnt get to it, and its going on 2pm here in va, but for sure will by tomorrow night or at the latest, saturday.
again, sounds like i diidnt miss much. i love your reviews, they are so detailed that i feel like i am watching it.
its frustrating how they push sob story after sob story year after year. no wonder kids are so depressed these days, its all over, not just on this show.
stay tuned… will post my thoughts soon.
My Take On the Show Last Night
Here goes.
1rst person A female Country Singer who lost her stepfather, who she was very close too. Came in and sang a VG song, which I thought was decent, but a bit bit boring and lacking energy. They than made her sing a second song a BR Classic, I thought the song choice was far worse for her. She sounded not as good as the first song in my opinion. I was on the fence with her as she sings well, but seems like every vocal is lacking energy and a bit boring. Anyways they put her through, I guess at this point I agree with that as anything on a fence I say lets see what they do in the next round.
2nd Person Was a girl who was into horriscopes. Sang a BS song, a little too slow, boring and even a bit broadwayish. Okay voice. But I would pass, but they put her through.
3rd person This was the chicken farmers daughter. Sang a classic GB Song, and than was told to sing another song. End result is I don't think her voice is strong enough, and don't love her tone. I would of passed, but they put her through.
4th Person Sang a CU Song, Didn't think she did great to say the least. I would of passed. LB Agreed with me, but the others put her through.
5th Person The guy who was bullied in high scool and lost a ton of weight. His singing voice sounds nothing like his talking voice, as it is much deeper thankfully. Wasn't perfect, but liked it overall. So I would of put him through. The judges agreed.
6th Person A Appliance Repair Man, and male country singer, Started off a bit slow, but finished very strong. Guy can sing very well. Wouldn't surprise me if he made the top 10. No brainer that he went through and he did.
7th person the meatballs and sauce were featured on this one. Overall didn't think she sounded that great from what I heard. But they put her through.
8th Person From what I heard, to say I didn't like it was kind of and unstatement. I didn't think he sang very well and I'm being very nice. Yet they put him through.
9th Person To continue the food angle brought in like some kind of shaved ice. She was decent singer, although not nearly as good as the original obviously. Was on the fence but was leaning to put her through. The judges did although not uniamous.
10th Person Cashier at the big retail store. He sang decently, nice falsetto, but kind of missing something when he was not singing in his falsetto. Asked him to sing a second song, which he was just okay on. Was kind of on the fence Again, as he can sing, but is missing something, and I'm leaning on the concept he won't find it. But if your on the fence I lean on putting them through. And he was put through by the judges.
11th Person He played a harmonica, he sang decently, but has some bad habit when he sings, now whether the harmonica was a hinderance that could of very well been the case. Overall leaning on putting him through. The Judges put him through.
12th Person Single Mother Sang Decently I thought She could go through. The judges suddenly for some reason get much harder on her than they have been all night. Not to say she was perfect , but she was alot better than a number of people they put through. After two no's they tell her to come back in a month at a different location. So I guess based on the coming attraction we will see how that goes next week.
Anyways that is my take on sunday's show. All is just my opinion of course.
ah, ok, cool. talk to ya soon.
No I was planning on it. Don't see it as a chore. As I said before My interest level increases once we get to hollywood, so will probably post more timely than in my opinion.
only if you want to, i …..
….
dont want to make it a chore. but its just fun to banter about it with you. but if you want to stop chatting about it,, its ok, just let me know.
Been busy, will get a chance to watch it today though at some point. Will probably post tomorrow about it.
you still here? i have not yet seen this past sundays show, been busy but do plan to today or tomorrow.
oh no skilz! so i just went to watch the show, was all leaned back, couch foot rest up, all snuggled in and the oscars and then news took over. i taped it so that sucks.
but it sounds like i didnt miss much, from your review.
so, now we wait for next weekend. lol.
good gosh! ok, well, i saw it was on my dvr to watch, but i plan to get to it by tomorrow/wed night. the hubby thought it said “America’s funniest videos” as we love that show but then he said “oh, its just idol” lol.
but i read every drop of every word that you said, so im ready.
it seems the theme this year is parents o/d or killing themselves, etc. yipes.
stay tuned.
My take on the show
It was on late sunday night into Monday morning for me, but that depends on the time zone you were in I guess.
Overall a mediocre show. here are the people I remember.
First Person- Mom was like and honorary Judge (sitting with the judges), I didn't think it was sang very well, but the judges disagreed.
Second Person- Showed the Video of the girl stealing the Mic when she was singing on stage at graduation, I don't understand what would possess someone to do that, but I guess that is me. Was a girl Who sang realatively well for this point, but will need to be better to compete with some of the better female singers we heard as it wasn't perfect. But way good enough to advance.
Third Person- Was a volleyball player, for me she was just okay. But she went trhough nonetheless.
Fourth person- Her mom sufferered from addiction. Tried to sing the Best FB Song of her career. Never heard anyone sing it really well at best it pales to the originals at worst the person flat out stinks. She was just okay, had some moments, but was also off in some parts as well for me. At best on the fence, but went through.
Fifth Person- Guy from small town, played the piano. Sang A RC song, did relatively okay. Has a decent voice. Thought he should go trhough, and he did.
Sixth Person Was a Male College Student, Didn't love the song, and sang just okay. But he went through.
Seventh Person- Her dad died of a drug overdose, Song was just okay (Original Song), Her voice was better than the song. She should of went through, and did.
It was a short show (seemed that way), from what I saw it was just okay, maybe 1 or two of these people get better where they could be serious competitors to be a top 5 or top 10 contestant, but when watching I didn't feel like we seen any of that level of talent in that show in my opinion. All is just my opinion of course.
did i miss something in the show that i just watched and commented on or is idol releasing early clips?
watch this.. i dont search them out, i simply have youtube and stuff like this pops up.
ok my friend, here is my review and im so glad we are doing this again, i really missed sharing thoughts about the show with you, over the years. i nearly gave up on the show for reasons you already know about. but im glad i kept taping it to watch (without commercials) as im really enjoying this year so far.
first off, i truly enjoyed the marching bands in the beginning, but worried it would turn into something freaky and odd since it was in new orleans, but was pleasantly surprised that there was happy NORMAL band people that did one song, from each of the judges, as they watched. no gayness, none of that silliness shoved in our faces.
- sara- she was ok, she was a bit quirky and very humble.
- tanner- he was just ok. he never looked at his girlfriend while singing the song to her, so that was odd.
- mikey “mo”- he was just ok too. mom was on the piano.
- adin- with autism, usually they dont do well with stimulation and he even said that so this is NOT the place for him, even for liability reasons… and he is not ‘pitch perfect’ like he, himself, said that he is and in fact he was not good at all.
- we’ ani- i dont believe at all that her real voice is real,, she changed it up if you play it back, and even sounded just like bart simpson at times. but her singing was so good that i got my first goosies (goose bumps) of the season. that was outstanding. who is she fooling here? lol
- mary beth- the clean cut d.j. lady- it was very rushed but did very good.
- bre- horrible! yet they put her through, lol
- olivia- she did a song by Lionel richie, wow, it was soooo good that i got my 2nd goosies for this season! and then it even made me tear up.. it was that good but i didnt really like the dramatic mouth and jaw thrusts, lol.
- preston- where the mom killed herself. loved his song but when they interviewed him, all he cared about was “who is going to pay the bills, and put food on the table” so, that was odd. no wonder she capped herself. sigh.
- emma- hated it, hated the super slow vibrato and then they called her out on that and made her remove that old person type of vibrato and it was ok. but the judges cracked me up as they explained this to her and goofed around. haha.
- keelan- horrible! yet, she got through.
- elija- the car accident boy.. i didnt like it at all but he gets through.
there ya go my friend!
I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't like the song. As I said I didn't want to like it, but I did. All is just my opinion of course.
wow! now that is one great….
….
review! i will watch it tonight for sure. i got a kick out of you saying that you got the song stuck in your head..
now im really looking forward to seeing it!
