This boy (below) I was REALLY hopeful for - but he ate it last night. Really not good - sheep vibrato. Viva La Vida? No way. I'm thinking he is not going to make it tonight. That's my guess. We'll see.
When I heard this kid say he was singing "Man in the Mirror," I thought... Michael Jackson is the kiss of death! But seriously, I was impressed. I thought he did really good. Wouldn't be surprised to see him as one of the 3 who make it tonight.
I thought this girl was by far THE BEST. She was original - vocally, she was with it. And the "Drops of Jupiter" vibe, I thought, was very cool. She probably won't make it since they roasted her in judging, but she absolutely should. Bummer. I'd love to hear more from her.
Seriously. What was this about? This kid made me nuts. You know, yes, he has serious singing ability. But it's not all about ability... it's also about how you USE that ability. Some of the best artists in the world, are not the best singers... but they are smart with how they "use" their talent. (Eric Clapton, Joan Baez) We don't need to see everything you've got in one song. Restraint is an important part of art. That being said - I was a little surprised at his rave review but virtually all four judges. But ask yourself this question. Would you EVER put that rendition of "Satisfaction" in your CD player to listen to? Maybe you would. Me? Not so much. I'm thinking he's in... but I did not dial 1-866-4357-12 for him. (That's right, I've got it memorized.)
Pretty please with sugar on it!!! I want him in this competition even though, ya know, it's... weird. LOVE him. He could pull it off, you never know. (he got my vote - yes, I vote. shut up. No YOU shut up!)
Other likes: - The girl who sang "Girl Put Your Records On." She was not so good at the end but I really like her sound.
-The girl that sang "Alone" by Heart. I was more impressed at the beginning - she got a little flat and screamy toward the end. But she is SIXTEEN, and that alone (get it?) is impressive.
"Betty Davis Eyes" girl. I like her - kinda want to be her friend. She was very cool.
Okay - that's it. Now... "let's dim the lights!"

OK...I have to probably agree with you 100%. I love Norman! I liked the Jupiter song...I was surprised they didn't like her. I voted for the kid who sang Michael's song...good job! We'll see tonight!
Oh, and the last kid...I certainly hope he doesn't make it...he drives me nuts...I thought for sure he was going to swallow the mic!
Looking forward to the weekly reviews! I'll have to send Brittany to your blog - she'll enjoy it! BTW (yes, I'm almost 40 and using text lingo), I liked Norman/Nick, too. Anyone else think that Paula's on something when she does the live shows? It's almost painful to get through her commentary!
For real... Paula is on drugs. I think it's pain killers... very sad. She wasn't as bad last night as she was last week. I'm pretty sure she'll be wasted tonight. Sometimes she holds off until the results show; less talking.
"Dim the lights"... I love it the girl you love is already out let's see who is next. Are you going to start this every week? I think you should. You did last year.
Oooo... I rule. That was a pretty dang good call if I do say so myself!
wasn't impressed with the joe jonas wannabe either, even though, like you said, he's good.
ugh. he screamed his whole way through. he seems a bit overconfident...entitled maybe, since he seems to have been in the business for awhile. don't like entitlement. loved the jupiter girl. she seems like a natural. and loved the corrinne bailey rae girl...her sound anyway. she does need to figure out what to do with her arms....they looked a little...awkward, flailing like that. especially since they kind of come down to her knees. but her voice is quirky and unique. I like it.
and I voted for norman. love him. sad to see him go.
i am so glad you're doing this again this year!
i agree w/ pretty much everything you said.
e-mailing you my response so you don't feel hijacked this year :P
