Jasmine – Head Over Water – Damn! Just terrible! She had a chance and she blew it. Just like Stephen. Too bad, I liked her.
Matt – Viva La Vida – Just a bad copy of the sing. A really poor one. Song choice is sooo important! I liked him before in the auditions. He is talented. But bad song choice has sunk his chances.
Janine - This Love Has Taken Control of Me - so what performance. Bad song choice again. No one knew her before, to one remembers her now. She blew it.
Nick/Norman – And I’m Telling You - Brought it, cooked it…served it hot! I love him. I think he should be serious if he makes it through. He is a good singer when he is serious. But I have no idea what his niche is?!?
Allison – Alone - Her appearance throws me off. Bad red hair, thick girl, extreme features. But great voice. Especially for 16 year old. She should go far because she is talented.
Kris – Man in Mirror – Really nice, mellow performance. Nervous but a pleasant performance. But “just good” is not going to win this competition.
Meghan - Put Your Records On – She looked weird moving around. Shaking. Strange. Bad outfit. Vocals were ok. I do think she is marketable.
Matt – If You Can Only See – Great voice. No stage presence. Not sure how that will work out. Simon was right…boring, low energy, didn’t feel right. But good voice.
Jesse – Bette Davis Eyes – How about a song from the last 5 years? 10 years? 20 years? 30 years?!? That song was done in 1974. It was simple and easy. She looked good. She can sing. But not the next Idol.
Kai – What Becomes of the Brokenhearted - Boring song. Good voice. Reminded me of Al Jarreau. It’s young girls voting, his song choice will not appeal to them. Maybe wild card.
Mishavonna - Drops of Jupiter – Song was just ok. Not memberable. I think a better song would have ensured her spot. I would have had her do an Alanis Morrisette song.
Adam – Satisfaction – He was like Nick/Norman…but serious. I like his voice. Reminds me of Steve Perry. Or any hairband from the 80’s. He would be good doing Guns and Roses. I liked it. Did Randy just compare him to Twilight’s Robert Pattinson. Blasphemy, dog!When you watch the recap…you see how bad it really was tonight. I think Allison is through for the girls, Adam for the boys, the 3rd person is Norman/Nick. The bald Matt will be given another chance by the judges in the wild card round. This is tough because so many favorites are performing poorly due to song choice. Next year, their songs should be picked for them in the early rounds (not just at the end when Clive Davis is on the show).
Let’s see if I’m right about my picks! C-ya tomorrow.
