This picture says it all! 164 contestants, looking for 50. No one cut in first 2 days – interesting. I like this format. I feel it gives several people another chance to shine as well as not torture the good ones. First up….
Karly – blonde curly haired girl - I’m not sure I liked her. It was different and that’s good. I think it was because she was so nervous and played the piano better than she sang the song. I want her without accompaniment.
Leo – I really liked him on audition round – but he was bad the first round. I hope he brings it. He seemed to have a really positive attitude.
I agree with Simon that you would think the instrument would help but it was murder. Did they think this would give them credibility? They lost some! Jake and drums. Terrible all the way around.
“The Competition is so stiff”. Well, where are they?!? I am tired of the hype. Show us how hard it is for the judges to make their decision. I haven’t seen the Top 24 yet.
Amanda – - the rocker - I like her but I am afraid she will sound the same no matter what she sings. I am interested to see her range. But it was a good performance. Definitely seems like an older and more mature group so far.
Caleb – should have never been there. That accent! I like his personality. But it is a singing contest. He can learn to cover it with training. But the competition is now. You should be embarrassed Paula from bringing him there to make a fool out of him.
Josiah – teen runaway – I didn’t like him. I think it was because he was a runaway. But I think he did well, very Beatles like. So we shall see how far he will go!
Danny – I was glad he did well again. Even though he was a little exaggerated. He can sing.
Carly – Irish girl - very sultry voice. I like her more and more.
Kyle – Mr. Republican - Do they remember Sanjaya?!? OMG! He could make it to the end with stupid people voting. Paula is a fool.
Perrie – I liked him in the audition and I was surprised he sang Bryon Adams. I think an effort to show versatility but it didn’t work. I liked him a lot better in his 30 seconds. He is talented.
Amy – she was too annoying to go through. I think she has talent, but it’s too soon for her.
Jeffrey – Now I know its Black History Month but a negro spiritual may not be the best choice. I was surprised he made it through. I don’t think we will be seeing him in the end.
I do like the way this is structured. Very cutthroat.
David – I liked the tone of his voice. I think he adds to the competition. It was a little boring performance and his breathing was distracting. But I think he is good.
Kyle – can he go home now? Not a bad kid but not right for this competition. That was a sympathy vote.
Jeffrey – buh bye.
Syesha – She brought it.
Michael – I like him a lot. Talented and sexy!
I l-o-v-e Carly. I think she makes this season so very good.
Asia – I didn’t like her as much but she is definitely pop. I can see her doing an album tomorrow. It was too nasal for me.
Hallelujah – Brooke is gone. Paula finally did something right! And Josiah – can’t stand him. “They didn’t do it the way I wanted them too.” *sshole! He is not a great guy!!!!! If he makes it to the Top 24, I will all I can to get him out!
I know that online the 24 have already been revealed but I am waiting for tomorrow’s reveal.
Favorite line: “Good luck. It’s do or die.” The look on the contestant’s faces was priceless. C-ya tomorrow.
