My take on Yesterday's show
So we have the top 24 sitting there, and they announce the top 20 1 by 1. They start with my opinion the much weaker group which was the second group.
1) Jack- First one through is Funny face guy. I didn't love the song he choose. He sang slightly above average. But forget the faces for a second, that song can only be so good no matter who sings it in my opinion. They seemed to spend alot of time on a far away camera angle in my opinion away from his face in parts. Maybe that was just me I guess. Grade C+
2) Mia- I've been up and down with her throughout the contest. For me when she powered up she got pitchey and whiney not a great combo. Overall I thought the vocal was below average. Grade D+
3) Mckenzie- Sings a LG Song, usually I'm a fan. But this was his worst performance to date. The vocal was all over the place, and pitchey in parts. Just average at best for me, and I might be being generous with him here. Grade C
4) Roman- Voice sounded scratchey tonight. Followed up by too much screaming/overdone for me. I have to say I found it slightly below average. Grade C-
5) Kennedy- Started off fine, and than when she powered up a combo of a lot of pitchey and off key. Didn't like it below average for me. Grade D+
6) Ajii- Don't know the song, and didn't like it too be honest. A few bad notes with a bunch of yelling thrown in. Also not clear in parts. Slightly below average for me. Grade C-
7) Jennifer- Not her biggest fan so far, and this week was a combo of seeming like she singing too slow for the song, flat in parts, and another suck the life out of the room special. Below average at best. Grade D+
8) Emmy- Have not been her biggest fan either, but had her best week to date last week. Sang and original song this week which I liked. Her voice was decent enough, it is a very quiet voice, a little too quiet for me. So I will always be longing for more. KP was saying she needs to sing with more power, problem is I don't think her voice will sound very good if she does that in my opinion. Still for this week another slightly above average performance I liked the song, and she sound fine for what it is. Grade C+
9) Triston- I liked the original song (I believe it was anyways) alot and he can sing. My only problem with him that will always hold him back is his tone of voice at times. Overall a good Job this week though. Grade B
10) Odell- Finally someone who can flat out sing. The vocal was excellent, it was emotional, and a all around excellent performance. Grade A
They than send Elleigh and Kblocks home, which were the two I predicted last week from this group.
Then we start the first group in my opinion the better group.
11) Kayko-I have been a fan of him. And he sang yet another original song. I like this song too. The guy is a really good song writter in my opinion, He also played liked a guitar solo in the middle of the song which was pretty good in my opinion. As for the vocal I thought it was a good, combined with good emotional performance, a good original song, makes it play up for me. Near excellent. Grade A-
12)Jordan- The Australian guy, another one I have been a fan of. Sings a BE song, I thought all and all was a good emotional vocal that was imperfect, the mic even kind of had a issue (Falling) in a part of the vocal, I thought he handled that like a real pro. As I said It wasn't perfect, but it was good. Grade B
13) Quintavious- Sings the other song he didn't choose last week from TK. Overall I liked this vocal alot. He did a very good job and my favorite performance of him to date. Grade B+
14) Kaibrienne- Sings a original song. Stopped numerous times in the song, as the over come with emotion routine she pulls off. Maybe she is that emotional, but you need to control it better than that in my opinion. For me what she did was like if you watched a juggler drop the ball numerous times. For me it is well below average. Grade D
15) Nya- Sings a classic Song. A strong combo of sour screamy and pitchey. Well below average for me. Grade D
16) Jayna- Sings a MC Song, now in my opinion a very difficult song to sing well. Not a perfect vocal, but had more than enough good parts in the songs to hold her own on a very tough song to sing in my opinion. I thought it was a good performance overall given the degree of difficulty on that song. Grade B
17) Abi- She is a very strange singer, but this one worked alot for me. It was very emotional and a very good vocal. I really like it. Near excellent. Grade A-
18) Will-I didn't love the song, yet he still sounded very good and I liked the performance. It was very good for me, slightly held back by the song. Grade B+
19) Mckennah-I thought she did a very good job on that song. She sounded very good and it was emotional as well. Near excellent performance for me. Grade A-
20) Julia- Singing a song, that I feel almost never gets covered well, because you can't capture the emotion and the intangibles the artist brought to the song in my opinion. Having said that she sang emotionally, and it was a very strong vocal. It obviously still wasn't as good as the original, but she covered it about the best I've heard of anyone covering it. Seemed less in her head when she performed this week, and her voice just sounded much better this week much less deep. Near excellent performance. Grade A-
