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.
