My Take on the Show last night

Well first of all it was very different not seeing them on stage, but understandably so with current situation.

1) Kimmy- Solid Vocal, Excellent Voice, Didn't love the song, but she can flat out sing. Only knock I find is sometimes she overdoes it a little. Still a very good job Nonetheless. Grade B+

2) Jovin- Good song choice, Solid Vocal and more importantly made you feel it. I really like the performance. Grade A-

3) Franklin- I didn't like the song choice for him, and I thought he was off, and it was waaaaaaaaaaaaay too draggy for me. I didn't like the way he pronounced his words either. Below Average for me. Grade D+

4) Olivia- Not my favorite song But she can flat out sing I will give her that. One of the most talented of the season in my opinion. It was very good can be even better with a good song choice. Grade B+

5) Louis- Don't love his voice, the song was fine, but he also sounded choked up as well. He was just average for me. Grade C

6) Makayla-- Didn't like the song choice. She sings fine, and I should like her more than I do, but something is missing here in my opinion. Slightly Above Average for me. Grade C+

7) Alaina- Like the song, but the song was too big and needed more control of her range than she can offer at least at this point. She had some vocal issues in the transitions, but did hit some good notes as well. Overall Far from perfect, but sang a very hard song, and hit a decent # of notes correctly, slightly above average for me. Grade C+

8) Faith- one of my least favorite coming in, but she did pick a good song for her. And overall Did way better than I expected, far from perfect and when she powers up she loses it a bit on the control front. But overall did a slightly above average job. Grade C+

9) Nick- a tale of two songs. 1rst Half of the song was boring and flat and the 2nd half was pretty good. Overall average for me. Grade C

10) Lauren- Well She had the best background when she sang I will give her that. I never loved the song she decided to sing because it never has a build, it is one of the constant foot on the gas pedal songs from start to finish, which I don't love I have to be honest. Having said that the girl can flat out sing in my opinion. Will be better with a better song in my opinion. Having said that it was still a good vocal despite the song in my opinion. Grade B

11) Cyniah- Her tone isn't great, and also very pitching in a lot of parts and nasally as well. Near the bottom for me, and definitely below average. Grade D+

12) Francisco- I thought he was average at best, for me I thought he was slightly below. Didn't love that song for him either, can't see a guy singing that song for some reason, plus I din't love how he changed it either. Grade C-

13) Sophia- For the most part was very good, except one bad note, problem is that bad note was the big power note. Still Solid above average to me bordering on good. Grade B-

14) Duane- The Christmas tree being up in April was memorable. I disliked the song choice, I disliked his arrangement, and I thought it wasn't very good and I'm being nice. Grade D

15) Dillion- Didn't love the song choice, a little nasally for my taste, and the band drowned him out a bit as well in parts. Was just barely Average for me. Grade C

16) Arthur- Terrible song choice, Personally don't like watching him performs as his eyes wander in to the top of his skull. His vocal was below Average as well. Grade D+

17) Julia- Didn't love how she changed the song, but didn't strongly dislike it either. She can flat out sing which helped her in my opinion. Overall thought it was a good job. Grade B

18) Grace- [Picked a good song, felt it completely I thought she has good control with excellent power and decent range. One of my favorites of the night. Grade A-

19) Just Sam- She sings well, problem is I never heard anyone sing that great, outside of the originals. And she didn't either because nobody can recapture the emotion she had with it. Still Like her voice which helps, but could of been waaaaaaaaaaaaay better with a song that would help, that song helps no one except the original artist in my opinion. Grade B-

20) Jonny- It was okay, it was pleasant but not anything more than slightly above average. Grade C+

Conclusion: I think Kimmy, Jovin, Olivia, Lauren, Sophia, Julia, Grace and Just Sam should make it. The last two spots are between a bunch of people for me if I had to choose I would probably take Alaina and Makela, but you can replace another 4-6 artist here and I would not say a word because those last two spots for me are like between 5-7 singers for two spots. All is just my opinion of course.
