yes, they do, but im also hoping its not those “applause” types of signs, that its sincere.
To be fair that it is what I think should happen if it was up to me. I woudn't be surprised if IAM won though, part of AI is a popularity contest and if you ever listen to the audience when he sings, they go crazy. All is just my opinion of course.
then, it is settled as …
…
“we” agree that “we” wins. but there is always an upset so lets see what happens.
For me it is Wei Ani in a landslide. She is so above and beyond the competition. I mean every song is different, it doesn't matter, she is great on one song after another. Doesn't matter what style, whether she is singing a ballad or a up temp song. She is very good to great every week, I don't think I have seen this kind of excellence by a contestant week in and week out, in many many years of AI, yes she is the best we have seen in years in my opinion.

My Take on the show Tonight
This was judges pick night.
1) Zachariah- Sings another huge rock song. I didn't love this performance. When he was not powering up, his voice kind of sounded nasally. Hit the power notes fine though. Far from his best, just slightly above average for me overall. Grade C+
2) Haven- Boring and not a great song choice for her. A very off, pitchey and weak vocal. Way below average. Grade D+
3) Wei Ani- Another one of my favorite many songs. Sings a classic WH song. Another excellent vocal, she can flat out sing it doesn't really matter what song she sing, it always varies from very good to excellent. She had excellent power, even better control, and then hits the falsettos at the end. This was excellent for me. Grade A
4) Oliver- This is one boring song to say the least. Average to slightly above average vocal. But overall just Average at best for me, because I was bored listening to it. Grade C
5) Warren- I thought it was a good song choice, and he did a very good job on the performance and the vocal. Grade B+
6) IAM- Sing a classic LA song, which I thought was a good song choice for him. Although I did find it a bit boring though, but the vocal was decent. Grade B-
7) Mary Beth- Wasn't the perfect vocal, actually an average vocal, as there were a number of imperfections. But she did make me feel something so that is a plus. So I would say overall that played it up a bit for me, so I went with above average. Grade C+
8) Tyson- Sings another one of my many favorite songs with the LC hit. More emotional than normal, and he sang it very well (Although pales to the original, on vocals and emotions). A strong good performance, and one of his better performances overall so far. Grade B
9) Megan- Sings a VG hit. I continue to say I'm not her biggest fan of her tone. But it worked way better on this song than most. I thought the performance was pretty emotional, and way better than normal. Having said that her tone will only allow me to score her so high. Though it was decent. Grade B-
10) Collin- I thought it was a decent and a little out of the box song choice for him, I thought it was a strong vocal, and a good performance. I liked it. Grade B
I would of Cut: Haven,oliver, and Megan
Who they cut Tyson, Mary Beth and Oliver.
Than the judges with a twist save one of the contestants. if I were them I would of saved tyson out of the three, but they saved Oliver which admittingly would of been my last choice out of the 3. So Mary Beth and Tyson go home leaving us with 8. All is just my opinion of course.
lol, i got a kick out of the…
…
uneven hair cut, haha.
we are just now getting back in town from a 3 day wedding event (for my niece) so i dont know if i will watch it tonight, i need a nap badly, drove the whole thing, but i will watch as soon as i recharge.
im glad zach did good, i think i liked him, if i recall.
My Take on Last Night's Show
So the top 12 perform rock music.
1) Tyson- Sings a Classic SW Song. I thought it was a slightly above average vocal, but his performance looked like he was drunk up there performing to be honest. Seems to be missing something always and a bit forgetable for me. Grade C
2) Warren- Started off a little slow, on a actual rock song, a pet peeve as I felt alot of these songs were not rock songs. Anyways After the slow start really got into it, and his voice was very good, and I like the preformance. Grade B+
3) Haven- As one knows I'm not her biggest fan, as I think her voice is not strong enough. Actually her vocal wasn't perfect, but I actually think she did decent on one of my many favorite song. For her that was her best ever for me by a country mile. Although I still have my doubts on her vocal abilities overall. Grade B-
4) Lucy- As one knows I'm not her biggest fan either. And this performance was more of the same a bunch of screaming, and don't love her tone to say the least. By the way Just because something you think is unique doesn't mean it is good. The Judges love her for some reason that is completely unexplained to me. A well below average vocal and performance for me. Grade D+
5) Oliver- Didn't love the arrangement to say the least and vocal was just barely average and I'm being Nice. Overall slightly below Average for me. Grade C-
6) Collin- Did a decent job, although I thought the performance was missing something. He needs a hair cut desparately by the way, I mean it is perhaps the most uneven I seen hair cut. Normally I could care less, but it was so noticeable just had to mention it. A decent job, that was held back by song choice, and making me feel nothing. Pleasant but forgettable. Grade C+
7) MaryBeth- Did a decent job on it. But once again the vocal wasn't perfect and I don't think the song was the best for her which held it back for me. Above Average, but that is it. Grade C+
8) We Ani- I thought it was another very good vocal as usual on a EJ Song, with a excellent performance from her. She is without a doubt the vocalist with the most talent in the the competition and it isn't even close. Grade A-
9) Nutsa- I thought she did a decent job and she can sing. And it was decent, but as always a little over the top on both performance, and the fact that is rarely a ramp up generally she is always on 10 most if not all the song. Which made it just above average for me although it one of my favorite songs from that group. Grade C+
10) Megan- Singing a BR Classic. I thought her tone was very annoying on this song. I know the judges think she can sing, I just can't get over her tone, don't like it. Well below average for me. Grade D+
11) Zachariah- I really liked his vocal, and as usual thought he was very entertaining. I thought it was very very good. Grade A-
12) IAM- I thought this was by far his best performance since the audition phase. I loved that song for him and he did very very well. Although I think he is good, I feel his popularity/hype do by a wide margin exceed his talent, he has to be considered a favorite to win based on what seems to be insane popuarity if you listened to the audience in the room, he is my 4th choice right now overall.Grade A-
My top 4 right now
Wei Ani
Warren
Zachariah
Iam
And than there is a huge dropoff for me after that.
Now who did I think should be in the bottom 2.
I had Lucy and Some combo of Megan or oliver.
America
Went with Lucy and Nutsa, which really wasn't surprising because they were put back in the contest by the judges last week anyways. Nutsa wouldn't of been my choice (But that is more because there were others I would of cut first), but lucy is gone which is something I have been calling for a number of weeks.
Tonight the top 10 perform again, and my understanding is we get down to 7 by the end of night. All is just my opinion of course.
my take on the sunday and monday show….
…
keep in mind, my hubby and i are going out of town next weekend, but i will watch the next round by about wed of next week i think.
but, i WILL HAVE MY IPAD WITH ME and look forward to your reviews, to keep me up to date until then.
sunday show- (you seemed to like it more than me)
- zach- meh.. just ok
- matt- nope
- nailyah- too much yelling, nope
- warren- good job
- kaeyra- i didnt like it much
- mariah- cant tell what she is saying (singing) i the song- didnt like it
- smokey sings- love the guy but wow, he has had even more facial surgeries, but you gotta love’em, lol
- iam- rough start but was ok
- haven- nope
- oliver- uh oh, off key but the singing style was good but whats up with the black fingernails??
my hubby did a little funny thing on that very topic… watch this (turn on the volume) and listen for an actual line that we heard on “king of the hill” many years ago, lol.
yup, as happens much of…
…
the time over the years.
i just binge watched and its going on 4am, lol, so, im about to post my thoughts on sun and monday’s show.
if you are awake NOW, then give me a few mins to type all that up, lol
All I have to say is I didn't love the results show results tonight. I won't say what happened, but I would of made many different choices to say the least in my opinion, I thought there were a few egregious decision in my opinion.
omg!! although i have…..
…
not watched the show yet and will after about an hour or so, once the hubby hits the sack, i wanted to show you this as it would be a great song for one of the better “manly men” that are on the show.
the only think i dont like is the ending or the african style plates in his ears, but this song is very good.
There is a 2 hour show tonight. Basically from my understanding the top 10 (Who are picked by America get announced tonight.) The remaining 10 sing again tonight, and I guess the Judges pick the final two spots, to make the top 12. So out of the 10 that don't make it, two can sing there way back in tonight. Hope this helps.
wow, very……
….
informative as usual! i will watch it tonight and post…
is there a show tonight or is the other 10 next week?
and YOU gave a d-
not sure ive seen you so that before. wow! talk to ya soon my friend!
My Take on the Show Tonight
I thought it was a solid show overall.
1) Zachariah- Sang one of my many favorite songs, and I think he did a very solid job with the vocal and the performance. Although eventhough it was good it did pale to the original. I didn't love the arrangement, but it was different. Overall A solid performance. Grade B-
2) Matt- Not the most exciting song choice in the world. It wasn't perfect, but he can sing, another overall solid performance, the song in my opinion held him back from doing better for me on this one. Grade B-
3) Nailyah I really didn't love the song choice to say the least. To much screaming in this song for me to say the least. Overall She can sing, but you Always have to ask yourself the important question, and not about whether every note was hit or not? But did you simply like it. I didn't. I found it slightly below Average. Grade C-
4) Warren- Not my favorite song choice for him, but he can flat out sing. I thought it was a good vocal/performance, obviously is capable of much better with a better song. But still good. Grade B
5) Kaeyra- I really like how she turned this song into a powerful rock ballad on the piano. Loved the Arrangement, and thought the vocal was very good. Grade B+
6) Mariah- she was one of the people I thought should go home this week, but the voters disagreed. I really didn't like the song, but that was surpassed by a not very good vocal. Was off in parts and pitchey in others. Well below average for me. Grade D+
7) I'AM- Not my favorite song choice, not the worst either, but a bit boring for me. Thought the vocal was decent, but not great either. Above Average for me. Grade C+
8) Haven- she was one of the people I thought should go home this week, but the voters disagreed. Having said that I liked the song choice for her this week, admittingly never heard that song before. Overall Not perfect, but one of her better vocals. Above Average for me. Athough this week she was fine, I still have major concerns her voice isn't strong enough. Grade C+
9) Oliver- He sang a decent original song, not the most exciting song, but was a very good vocal, and I did feel something when he sang so that is another plus. Very good performance. Grade B+
10) Lucy- she was one of the people I thought should go home this week, but the voters disagreed. She sang a original song, which I thought was pretty good for her. I still don't love her tone, but she connected better on this song choice, and was better overall vocally than normal. Still have my doubts on her as a vocalist, because of her tone, and generally her waaaaaay over the top singing. But this performance was solid and her best by a lot. Grade B-
Three people go home Elise (She shouldn't have), Pjae (Should Have), and Emma (Who wouldn't have for me yet, but admittingly would of probably got cut this round for me, as she is a bit too theatrical for me.)
Now they announce the 10 from Monday's show last week.
11)Hannah- Not one of my favorite contestants, she wasn't great last week although she was sick. Excellent song choice for her, and I thought she had a very very good vocal. I think the speed of this song (More umptempo than normal), got the draggingness out of her voice sometimes, and show cased the power she had in her voice, and she sang it really well. Best she has ever been in a landslide. Very, very good Performance. Grade A-
12) Olivia- Singing a CD classic. Fantastic song choice, and can flat out sing just about anything with that voice. And this song she sounded brilliant. It was essentially pretty much a perfect vocal on a high degree of difficultly song. Excellent performance. Grade A
13) Mary Beth- Sang a original song, thought the song was decent actually. She sang it relatively well, a good strong performance. Grade B
14) Michael- he was one of the people I thought should go home this week, but the voters disagreed. Don't love his tone, but thought it worked much better on this song. As it was a good song choice for him. Decent vocal, above Average For me. Although I still have my doubts his voice will sound great on many songs, because of his tone gives him a small window of songs to choose from in my opinion. But better than normal and above average for me. Grade C+
15) Paige Ann- Didn't like the way she sang that song. Her arrangement wasn't very good and I'm being nice. I really didn't like it as I heard alot of pitchiness and some screaming as well. Grade D+
16) Nutsa-Sang the Great TB classic, not a song that covered as often as some other famous female signers of that era. Paled to the original for me. I found her sharp in a lot of parts of the song. Overage Above Average for me, but that is just it. Grade C+
17) Tyson- Sang an original song that was just okay, he shouts when he powers up, showcasing at times that the song look to big for his voice. Not a perfect vocal for me. Just average at best for me. Grade C
18) Megan-she was one of the people I thought should go home this week, but the voters disagreed. I don't love her tone and that is a problem for me with her. far from the perfect or even good vocal. Below Average for me. Grade C-
19) Collin- I didn't like the song choice. I didn't like the vocal either. Flat in parts and boring in others. Below Average for me. Grade C-
20) We Ani- Sang a theme song from A JB movie. Did a very good vocal, she can flat out sing, outside Olivia who can match), I don't think anyone has more vocal talent in this competition. It was a good song choice, with a very very good performance. Grade A-
Three more people go home Elijah (Probably shouldn't have gone this week, but had a good chance of getting cut tomorrow. Same can be said with Malik and Dawson.
Now America puts 10 people through tomorrow, and the other 10 sing for two spots.
My top 10 that I would Put through.
Olivia
Wei' ani
Hannah
Oliver
Kaeyra
Warren
Mary Beth
I'am
Matt
Zachariah
Anyways we will see what 10 america puts through tomorrow., and how the other 10 sing for the remaing two spots. Time will tell. Anyways just one man's opinion.
agreed, look at bbby go, weeeee!
I tape everything too. All the different show I watch, Plus the time I have with being a trader in the market, plus personal stuff, plus sports, you have to speed up through the commerical you can turn 3 hours into almost 2 hours or less in my opinion, most of the times it is less in my opinion.
wow, too long but i tape it and flip through all the fluff and commercials, and get right to the singing most of the time.
This week we get 5 hours of AI coming up 3 hours on Sunday where all of the remaining top 20 perform, and 2 hours on Monday. Hope this helps.
Didn't realize there was a question there for some reason when I read your post the 1rst time.
the sunday group mopped the floor with the monday group.
I agree 100% In fact, I said the same thing about 12 minutes earlier.
I thought Monday was far weaker overall than sunday if I was comparing.
They are gonna eliminate 3 from each day, so we will see who they eliminate. My favorite right now Are Wei, ann followed By Olivia,, than followed by warren, than elise, than matt. Those are my current top 5 at the moment overall right now in my opinion.
did you see my reply on both shows?
love it and i love how you said “its all just one man’s opinion” lol
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 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.
