And I use the term "Top" lightly.
PLEASE!!! Pick the songs for the girls. And the boys. I am writing the intro at the end of the show which is a bad idea because I am so dejected now that its hard to write. On to the show…
Carly Smithson – She has a studio voice. I thought the performance was low energy. I am not sure where her nitch is? I think she is hard to market. She can sing but not sure if she is pop, rock….I think she will eventually turn into a Jewel type singer.
Syesha Mercado - Horrible film clip before her performance. I think the editors this season should be shot. Her song is WAY too slow. This is a song you can slow dance to and you would be standing still at this point. Beautiful voice but I wasn’t blown away by that performance. I think I heard a pitch problem in the middle.
Brooke White - Okay performance. Extremely safe. I think she should have done another Carly Simon song, definitely the right artist for you. This one picks up on the chorus and she stayed the same tempo. The low notes her voice practically disappeared. I wasn’t as excited as Simon because I agreed more with Randy that I didn’t think she brought anything new this week. Good not great. Good will get her through.
Ramiele Malubay – It started really good and then it just kind of fell flat? That was really strange. I think she has a great voice but her energy was way off on this one. The backup girls even took it down because they didn’t want to out sing her.
Kristy Lee Cook – Not sure if anyone didn’t know she was a tomboy. Again, she can sing but you will not remember this performance at all. Improvement but still just ok.
Amanda Overmyer – I think she was singing too fast at first. I think she lost confidence in the middle due to the beginning. I am not sure if it was the dancing or what but I did not like that at all. I get her but I don’t think this was a good performance for her. Or else I just totally don’t get it. Which could be true. Yeah…what Randy said.
Alaina Whitaker – Dated. Karaoke all the way.
Alexandrea Lexington - Bad song choice. This did not showcase her voice at all. She did ok but I think its because I like her. But I love Chicago and that was a butchered performance. I like the little things she did with it but far from her best performance. She should have chosen a more contemporary song from the 70’s.
Kady Malloy – Can you do Kady? How about you do Kady. She has an extraordinary voice but I am still not sure who she is. Stay off the stairs. AGAIN! Beautiful voice in the clip and terrible performance! She chooses a song in which she is barely singing!!! She is gone. She is an impersonator. That’s it. You will see her on MadTv.
Asia’H Epperson – That was terrible. I had to turn off the sound. I was afraid of that ending note. That was soooooo bad. What the F@$% was she thinking? To sing a song like that in hopes you can hit one note?
So top performances: It was tough because I thought they all sucked. Seriously. Brooke and Carly were better than the rest.
The bad performances: All the rest!!! Going home Kristy Lee Cook and Asia’h Epperson. Let’s just try to get through this an get to the Top 12 already. I don’t remember disliking this part this much in past seasons. Just watching the recaps….these were supposed to be the highlights of the performances!!!! Cya tomorrow…sigh!
