Top 8 Week

Sorry I missed you guys last week for Chikeze and Ramiel vote off. I had a few internet issues. But I am back!!! I was sad to see Chikeze go home. He was not going to win…but I liked his performances. Ramiel definitely needed to go home. She is extremely talented but needs more time to mature and grow and be groomed by the right producer.

Michael Johns – Liked it. Liked his falsetto. But he still needs to work on stage performance. A little stiff.

Syesha – Don’t do someone who made a name for themselves on a song! After re-watching Fantasia on the season 3 finale on youtube, this paled in comparison. Go watch it! It is fantastic!!! Syesha…not so much. I think she is going home based on the performance. No emotion. Fantasia’s version will have you crying.

John Castro – OK I canot be impartial because I can’t stand him. I will assume it was good. Simple little tune. Star? Heck no. But sang a familiar easy song well.

Kristy Lee Cook – Boring. Even when she tried to bring it on home. But better performance to me than Syesha and John.

David Cook – Not my style of song and by far his worst performance. People like him and will keep him in but that was terrible. Extremely indulgent to think he can get up there and sing whatever?!? And the helluva corny “give back” on his hand? Give Me back that 1:30 seconds.

Carly Smithson – BAD song choice! What did they tell her about bluesy, soulful songs?!? Stick to those!!! Her need to do rock is going to be her downfall. Because when she does, karaoke all the way. She doesn’t clearly define her style. Great singer…but that is NOT enough.

David A. – Great performance. Loved the endings. I would have liked it better without the band and just the piano, would have been touching. I think he excels when he sings slow, soulful songs.

Brooke – She has definite niche. Sunday afternoon, easy listening, adult contemporary. She picks good songs for her. Not much change or stretch. But nice still.

Top 2 – David A, and Michael Johns.

Bottom 2 – Syesha and Kristy.

Going home…Syesha. See ya Thursday! (The Office is back!)
