In fact On Sunday show the last 3 were the best by a country mile. Casey was one of my favorites going in but was surprised she was able to pull that off, because that is not exactly a rock song, which means her voice really can sing anything, that is so overused in singing competition by judges, but if a rock singer can sing that song so well than at the very least she has a huge variety of songs she can sing well which is impressive.
Secondly I liked Cassandra the vocal wasn't perfect, but it was good, and it was a high degree of difficulty song, and she did very well with it, and made you feel something. She was the one who sang the bond song.
Third I Like Willie the guy who sang last he did very well with that song, admittingly him and casey were my favorites going in, but they didn't disappoint. Cassandra came out of nowhere for me with that performance it is not that I haven't like her in some performance, but she will be a little hit/miss, lets see next week if she can put two back to back, and find some consistency.
As for the others on Sunday, The only bad vocal was Beane who did the dirty dancing song, thankfully he was cut that was bad in my opinion. I mean Hunter made messing up a few words into a tear jerker, I mean I get your irritated and how you deal with that is up to you, but I mean he carried on and on, I actually didn't mind the actual performance on him to be honest, but the reaction was a little over the top for me, this is a competition you got to be able to move on from mistake a little better than that, I'm not saying I would be able to hide emotion either, but that got very uncomfortable as the judges kept going on and on. The rest of the People nothing really stood out, some people voices were more limiting than I thought (Chayce sang Robin Hood song), others continue to pick bad songs for them (Grace), that doesn't help, and some are just average. But my favorite 3 were the last 3 and it isn't even close on Sunday.
As for monday, my favorite two were Mikahlia who sang anyone, although she gotted a little choked up at the end (Was the best vocal of the night, outside of the last note where she got a little choked up), and the english guy at the end who sang the original song (He sang much better than I remember last year, but to be fair his original song I found to be pretty good). The Aliana performance she can sing, problem I had with it, is she didn't seem to have that much of and arc to the song, after a few seconds it seemed like she was belting the whole song, and not that she can't do some things with her voice that are pretty good, when you build it up, not when you built it up quickly and than just stay there just sounds better. Having said that I had her down as the third best performance on Monday. They were better than I thought they would be because last year's group was not exactly strong and I'm being nice, maybe singing to a live audience helped than singing at a wall.
Anyways that is my take on this week. All is just my opinion of course.
