Yep! I think the guy they almost sent home can be in the top 10 if he can get those facial expressions under control while singing. I liked his sound. Have a nice weekend:)
omg, i am thrilled to see you…..
…
here and that you watched it too. funny thing is that you and i watched it about the same time, nearly a week later, since you said it played last sunday right? i forgot about it and then i saw it on the dvr tonight and really enjoyed it.
ok, so, here goes.. and yes, i recall that you (and i) wait til later to give more detailed thoughts..
yes, i loved the first singer. he needs to tone down the fake vibrato a bit though, but he has the look, etc.
the 2nd boy, who is an American Indian, its a NO from me (for the voice) but he got through.
then a “blur” of people get put through, they kind of fast forwarded that part.
The lady, named Kennedy, the mortician, said shes 23? no way.. looked about 50, she even said it as if no one would believe her.. anyway, she goes through.
next.. Meggie - Meh, but goes through
the Pakistani guy.. he was good, sounds like a man from Va, who got shot to fame recently, Oliver Anthony ( google and youtube him), sounds much like that. not sure if he was copying him? very similar and unusual style.
the crying football player.. has a sappy girly voice but goes through.
jack, from dallas- you hated him.. i hated the faces, but liked his voice. its like a dirty house that you look at to buy, you look past the dirt and see its possible future.. if they tone that down, he may be ok. i was actually surprised they said no and pleased when the cast voted him in. so, thats interesting about you and me, and our thoughts.
ok, now, let’s talk about the adopted lady.. i usually fast forward all that stuff, but omg, it was special in so many levels. i even cried, yes,, i did.. lol. she said she is 25 but looked 40. not sure whats going on with people looking older in some cases so far this year? the mic (quality) was horrible but she did great. too sappy though.
it was cool how they dubbed her mom’s voice and video over her walking out at the end of the show. it reminds me of my mom’s album and other songs still on tape (now on cd and on line to hear),, i will listen and feel like im there with her to this day. so, that part really hit home when she sang her mom’s song on the piano. my mom did a couple of her own songs (written by her) and i still play them time to time on the piano and sing them..
when i was a kid, i would play it on the piano and sing them to her and she loved it. anyway, there ya go.
its great to hear from you again.
I finally got around to sunday's episode today, finished about less than an hour ago. Didn't really take notes at this point, as once it get to hollywood, I get more interested. The things I remember The guy who started the show in my opinion he was the best of the bunch. There were several that were solid, but each of them had something that gave me pause whether they were top 10 material.
That Bunch consisted of the Girl that finished out the show, I wonder if her type of voice will hold up over a competion that voice sometimes gives out over strain.The girl that Sang a SW song, like I never heard it before, she can flat out sing, now whether she would have problems getting votes with her Jazzy/broadway style would be the concern for her to be top 10 material. The former football player, not sure everyone is gonna buy into his tone, I thought he was solid, and he may be limited to like emotional ballads with his voice, because I like his voice, I just don't know how big of window his song selection will be for him to be really good. The air port security guy has a nice tone for a soul singer, but like alot of soul singer can tend to put too many runs sometimes and that can take away from a performance eventhough he can sing. The guy from Brooklyn, who can sing, one of my favorite current song right now, obviously a bit raw, but does have potential.
The one person I was stunned with they put through was the guy with the original song. Originally he was out, and than they called him back in and put him through. His singing wasn't good, and seemed like put on, his song wasnt great either, but he might make the worst facial expressions while singing I have ever seen. Yes he is that bad. Can't believe he went through and have no clue if it is that fixable with what he was doing, I guess we will findout, but man those were some facial expressions. Well that what I have for last weeks show. All is just my opinion, and I could always be wrong though.
hey b rich, you watching too?
hi Skilz and all, its that time of…..
….
year… im watching the first show of the season, and still taking notes..
you all watching?
I saw that! He did awesome for sure!
i must say, your boy…
…
knocked this one out of the park (no pun intended, lol)
and here are some more idol reviews from that coach.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfCsZt5S9yth4u1A3RTityQ
polish fest is about 2 miles from my house. you kaeyra fans might enjoy this.
This was the toughest competition I've seen on Idol for sure lol! I'm thinking several will have some nice contracts ahead of them.
this year, they all seemed pretty humble compared to prior years, i did notice that.
The audition is where the following starts. He sang "Monsters" and grabbed the attention with that one. He also stayed humble and stuck with the songs that were fitting for him:)
yup, until then.
He picked the perfect song for his audition. Future contestants should pay attention to that
Well Iam winning was very obvious to me for weeks. He wasn't great to say the least through the show. Furthermore Megan wasn't very good either ( She in my opinion was actually worse than IAM), and she came in second. Collin was the best of the 3, but even he was hard to understand and unclear in his performances and in my opinion took a step back this week as he was actualy improving over the last several weeks. Simple Answer is the better singers were sent home in earlier rounds. Like Olivia who for some reason couldn't even make the top 13. And Wei who should of won in a landslide and couldn't even make the top 3.
Simple answer in these shows to win you either have to have feelgood/sob story, or be a country singer. Look at the final 3. Two country singers, and the feelgood/sob story. It is really that simple at this point. Too be fair the talent was waaaaaaay better at the finale of The V than it was AI this year. All is just my opinion of course. Anyways until next year.
hey there b-rich, you hit this one out of the park. iam was not only top 5, but the winner.
im shocked (not in a good way) but America loves sad singers, sappy stories, and so, thats what we got.
but congrats to you as i know you rooted for him. so, im happy for you.
ok, soooo, i watched the train wreck of a 3 hour show, lots of rap, hip hop, and other loony “famous” singers, mixed in with a couple of real singers that visited the show.
i took notes but then gave up, you were right. Iam won.
when they asked what he wants to do, he said “go home” i dont think he even wanted to win, but, he did.
he cried his way to a win. wow. i was so excited about this year and then it went to hell in a hand basket a couple weeks ago.
oh well my friend, stay in touch, until next year. sigh.
i plan to watch it tonight but youtube had a quick video on iam crying through a whole song, both singers were awful but as you suspected, the comments were all about how great he is.
i just dont get it. this country loves crying sniveling victims or depressed people.
and oddly enough, that other guy that posted here a while back, said he would win.
wow. he is NOT a good singer, but i hear ya.
Fair enough. As for AI and talent shows, I've come to the conclusion several years ago that the most talented/deserving/best singer almost never wins at this point anymore.
It is either a country singer, or in this case the eventual winner IAM in my opinion a sob story/feel good story that people get behind. This wasn't always the case but as time has went on. That is what wins. It is really that simple. If you just get into watching the show for the talent your fine. if your there for Judges giving fair analysis (Way too easy on contestants), or the people to vote the most deserving people through than you are gonna find the show very annoying. It is really that simple in my opinion.
sounds fun but i cant even seem to find 1 lately, lol.
im still a small fry but i find some hotties time to time.
The info is in the intro. Just thought I would let you know about it. Whether you want to participate or not that is up to you. Just thought I would mention it. Anyways have a great day.
at first i thought you meant…
…
pick top singers on another idol board, lol.
i guess you mean stocks. ok, will take a look.
Pick 4 Contest #18 Deadline Tomorrow
Remember to get your picks in before Friday’s market close. Below is the link to the board. Hope this helps.
https://investorshub.advfn.com/Pick-4-Contest-No-18-42038
shes as good as or better than ….
…
whitney, so, its a shock to me but i hear ya.
I wasn't shocked (Not the result I wanted at all, but wasn't shocked.) AI like all contests are a popularity contest. The best singer a lot of the time doesn't actually win. She is clearly the best singer, but she didn't come with the over the top rooting for that Iam get. And country singer specifcally the last 3-5 years it has become apparent always do well on these shows. Wei was neither. This is not a open contest, it never has been. It has Always been IAM winning this thing, and it has been painfully obvious for me for weeks. I thought there was a shot Wei could beat Megan, But I knew Wei was done, when she sang leadoff. If you ever notice poeple that sing leadoff in these competitions seems to have horrific results when it comes to advancing in my opinion.
yup, once they cut wei, we know its anyone’s guess now. i was shocked and frustrated.
NO i didnt vote, havent for years but i was shocked.
Here is my take.
1) Wei- Overall another excellent vocal as usual. Excellent Performance. Grade A-
2) Zachariah- Didn't love the song choice to say the least. Didn't love the vocal either. Sounded like alot of screaming to me. Below Average Grade C-
3) Collin- Overall I think he did a good job on that song. A solid performance, athough thought the band was a little too loud, and did drown him out in a few parts So I agree with you there. Grade B
4) Megan-I don't like her tone which is why I wil never be a fan, but she can sing. And on that song it worked for the most part. One of her better performance. Good but not great. But for her good is great. Grade B
5) Iam- More of the same pleasant, but a bit boring and bit forgettable. Slightly Above Average for me. Grade C+
6) Wei- She was solid, but not my favorite from her, not a perfect vocal for me. But still good. Grade B
7) Zach- Better than the 1rst performance, but his 1rst performance was one of the worst in the contest for him. But far ffrom perfect, just average for me. Grade C
8) Collin- I kind of liked it. Not perfect but solid vocally, and the song just seem to connect in a way. Can't expain it, something intangible about it. Good performnce. Grade B
9) Megan-Didn't love this performance. Her tone for me it a problem. Just barely average at best for me. Grade C
10) IAM- A boring Average at best vocal. Grade C
To Me my top 3
Wei (Best singer by a country mile.)
Collin (Move into clear 2nd choice for me)
Zach (Based on past weeks performances gets him 3rd choice for me)
What Happened Wei and Zach Get cut. Strongly disagree on Wei. Slightly disagree on Zach, but this week was not good, so it did hurt him.
If you see these talent shows what you begin to realize who wins, it is either a country singer (They have absurd levels of success), or your classic Either Sob/Feel Good story. And that is clearly what advanced. That is what does well these days. Wei as good of a singer as she is (I don't think it has anything to do with the voice you mentioned), isn't a country singer, and did not have the good appealing sob story/feel good story that people seem to graviate to from a voting perspective. I will root for Collin, but who are we kidding IAM is winning this thing in a landslide I have been saying it for weeks, not that I think he should win, but all you had to do was listen to the audience the people are voting for him it really is that simple at the end of the day. All is just my opinion of course.
OMG NO WAY!!! this can NOT happen! so, i watched tonight’s show, here we go…
….
round one-
- we’ - i dont know the song but she still sang it flawlessly yet it was boring.
- zach- not good
- colin- pitchy but i still like his style but the band drowned him out
- megan- a good performance but as i say all along, i dont like her voice
- Iam- still just average but maybe they like his “feel good” songs during these crazy time?
round two- ding ding ding…
- we’ - another sad sappy song but she sang it top notch. she is the superior singer
- zach- wow, his mother’s day letter got to me.. but his singing was just ok
- colin- lol, they put some sub titles there as he spoke, lol. his song was a little pitchy but so honest. it was good.
- megan- nice start but i just dont like her voice
- iam- it was depressing. also, idol needs to keep in mind that he is beyond obese and if they put a ton of money into him, boom, he could be gone. just saying from a money making standpoint but its out of their hands now, as America votes.
something i never post but you do… the results….
top 3 is colin, megan (boooooo) and iam (sigh)…. the shocker is that we’ is gone.
maybe people didnt buy the fake high voice? her mom talked normal, so maybe its a gimmick? but im shocked, she should win it all.
“one man’s opinion”,, you are sooooo humble.
Yes I did, Been quite busy this week.
I agree that I'am is waaaaaaaaaaaay overrated, eventhough I like him much better than you. I see him generally as a decent contestant who is pleasant to listen too but far from great. But I think The audience/voters really Likes him. For me he is a distant 4th of the 5 contestants left. My comments were with IAM winning, not that I would have him win WEI should win this contest in a landslide in my opinion. But that I think he is a good shot because I think he is way more popular with the Audience and America's voting than he is with me, and even more crazy of a difference for you, because you like him less than I do.
My order right now of preference is:
Wei
Zach
Collin (After this week has moved closer to zach)
IAM
Megan (Who is 5th because there are only 5 left, I just have a thing with her tone, as I'm not a fan.
Having said that I will be shocked if IAM isn't in the top 3, and I think there is a great chance of America Voting him 1rst. Now I strongly will disagree with that result, but the statement him winning to be clear, is not that I think he should win, but that the audience/voting public might make that happen. Anyways have a great evening, and of course just one man's opinion.
did you see my take on the…
….
show? also, i see, on the news, that lionel got ripped for a bad concert but i thought it was fine, from the clips i heard. also, there is drama between luke and lionel, luke saying he didnt really know the royals but then he appeared with them. lol.
my take….
….
warren- you are right, it was a train wreck
zach- nope
duet- oliver- nope, off key but Iam was good (not great, but good)
haven- nope
duet- we’ and warren- both ok but their voices clashed.
colin- good vocal but horrible guitar playing, but i do like this guy
duet- zach and haven - both just meh, but zach did ok
megan- nope
i’am- sorry but its a “nope” from me and i never liked most of his stuff. no way he will win. play his song back as you are in another room, he is bland and flat. nice guy but NOPE.
we’- i sang this song a couple times at karaoke and its a hard song to sing. (called uninvited). she had a rough start but got much better as it went along. she will win the show, i will still bet that.
duet- colin and megan - colin did great, megan is a “nope”
oliver- he tried his best but its a NOPE.
i dont think he should win but like you say, its a popularity contest more than a singing contest
there was an ihubber that chimed in a couple months back who said i’am was his fav.. thats the hawaain guy, right?
Maybe it was just me On warren, but to say I didn't like it was an understatement, based on last night alone he should of been the 1rst cut and it wasn't even close, if you were voting like that, not that I think you should vote like that at this point, it should be more collective at this point, but what the heck do I know. The thing I got from this show the most was how insane the reaction was for I'am, I mean the audience was going nuts. And As I said I have never seen anyone basically almost say vote for another contestant before. Those are the two things that really stood out to me on the show to be honest. All is just my opinion of course.
oh thank God, its like a…
…
homework assignment that i need to get caught up on when there are two, lol.
wow, sounds like warren….
…
deserved to go and sounds like a great show. your reviews are so much better than my quick notes like “nope” or “was great”. lol.
No monday show. Hope this helps.
My Take on the Show Last night
First we were missing KP and LR from the judges panel and Essentially replaced them with AM and ES. And they decided to cover the AM song book for the solos and the ES song book for the duets. I personally think AM although there were two songs from her that are on my many favorite song list, is a hard cover, most songs don't sound great if you make them your own, and it is hard to do if you keep true to original without paling in comp. Anyways just my take.
1) Warren- As for Warren that was flat out brutal, I mean everything was off, the music behind him, his vocals. It was way below average and I'm being nice. And one knows I'm generally a fan, but not this performance. Grade D
2) Zachariah- It was above average, and had it's moments of success. But also moments where it was either missing something with a few bad notes. One of my two favorite songs from the AM Song book. Slightly Above Average. Grade C+
3) I'am and Oliver- The first duet, Although I thought it wasn't the most exciting, it was the best harmonization by a wide margin, and that made it decent for me. Also found it odd to see Oliver basically doing the vote for I'am campaign, never seen a contestant do that before. Grade B-
4) Haven- Overall I thought it was the right song choice for her. I thought she sang Above Average on this performance. As usual her vocals are never gonna be the strongest, but this song hide them well enough. Grade C+
5) Wei Ani and Warren- I didn't love this duet. And oddly mostly because of Wei, who was the first time I didn't like her on a song. Warren was a lot better than wei on this. Overall Just average at best. Grade C
6) Collin- I thought he found a way to make this song his own, and It really worked for me. I actually thought it was very good. Grade B+
7) Haven and Zachariah- The duet was above average, as zachariah was good, and haven wasn't very good and I'm being nice. The good news for this duet is alot of times it felt like haven was the background singer. Which made you focus more on zachariah, so it was slightly above Average for me. Grade C+
8) Megan- She sang it decently and knows how to sing. I know everyone says they like her tone and it unique. I just think the combo her tone presents isn't for me, so it will hold every song back for me. if you don't like the tone of a singer (At least for me), it hard to love the performance. Just Average. Grade C
9) I'am-The more and more you hear this crowd, I'm starting to strongly believe he is gonna win. Don't get me wrong he is a solid contestant, but the popularity is through the roof, for the level of talent in my opinion. As for this performance, it was more of the same a pleasant decent vocal and performance, that was slightly boring. Decent but far from great like the audience wants to make you believe. Grade B-
10) Wei Ani- Sang my favorite AM song, which is one of the most haunting songs I have ever heard. As for Wei Performance I thought it was very very good, as usual. Grade A-
11) Collin and Megan. Collin had a very good vocal in this duet, his voice was very strong last night in my opinion, perhaps the strongest his voice ever was. Had a very good night for him or anyone to be honest. Megan tone as usual and the vocal I just didn't like it. So brought the overall duet down signficantly. Slightly Above Average. Grade C+
12) Oliver- It is my third favorite AM song, but didn't like the vocal, thought the performance and the vocal was a bit all over the place. Slightly below Average for me. Grade C-
Who I would of Sent Home
Haven
Oliver
Megan
Who they did send home
Haven
Oliver
Warren (To be fair he wasn't very good this week. He would of been my 4th cut, if they were cutting 4.)
Well down to final 5 next week. All is just my opinion of course.
planning to watch the…
…
sunday show, tonight…. and hopefully also the monday show by then too.
It is probably sincere, just saying that if that mirrors the way people are voting he might win.
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 review on both the sunday and monday show…
..
