Vote in the poll, you can pick 3 people whom you think will go into the next round!
First off i would like to say.. Kara is an impressive judge! I relate to what she says so much better than Randy and Paula. She comes somewhere between Simon and Paula.. where Simon always doesn't give contestant a break and be harsh to them and Paula always nice and doesn't know the right things to tell the contestant.. i have to say i'm deeply impressed by Kara. She gives the right opinions, and she knows when to praise the contestants.. and she also knows when to criticise them when need be. I think people are going to really like her. Thank God to Idol for getting her onto the show. Love her comments and most of the time i had to agree with her. Even Simon had to say she agree with Kara sometime or another!
Secondly, i think there are quite a number of good singers in this group and i seriously don't think there's just enough spot for everyone to make it through!!
Jackie Tohn A Little Less Conversation by Elvis Presley
I thought her vocals were rough and i didn't enjoy the performance as much as i thought i would. I think it was a good show opener, but too bad there were just so many good singers around.. she'll not make it into the top 12.
Ricky Braddy Song For You by Leon Russell
I loved it, although Simon said he lacked star quality and charisma, but David A lacked that (maybe until now too).. and i think America love his vocals and i thought his voice was sincere and nice to hear. I seriously, seriously hope he made it through. And it's a pity producers might just have killed his shot at making it to the top 12 by giving him so little screentime!
Alexis Grace Never Loved a Man by Aretha Franklin
I hope she makes it to the next round. Natural performer, love her real-ness and she's awesome!
Brent Keith Hicktown by Jason Aldean
It was a wrong song. Country? Nono for an impression maker. He just blew his chances.
Stevie Wright You Belong to Me by Taylor Swift
It was awful.
Anoop Desai Angel of Mine by Monica
I agree that he has a huge likability factor, but i felt it was a rather safe choice of song and i think he might make it through as the contestant with the third highest number of votes. I believe he has a face which all of us can remember, something good for a popularity contest like AI. I think he has a huge chance of making the top 12, but not enough to win the competition.
Casey Carlson Every Little Thing She Does is Magic by The Police
It was awful as well.
Michael Sarver I Dont Wanna Be by Gavin DeGraw
Because of what Simon said, he might be a surprise contestant getting into the top 12 with the 3rd highest number of votes. But i hope he doesn't.. because he blew his chances last night. Gotta give him another shot at wildcard round though!
Anne Marie Boskovich Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin
She can sing, but the song was too big for her. I didn't squirm as much as when Casey and Stevie sang though.
Stephen Fowler Rock With You by Michael Jackson
I was hoping he would do what he couldn't do in the hollywood solo performance as well! I think he blew ALL his chances and i will be certainly surprise if the judges give him another shot at the wildcard.
Tatiana del Toro Saving All My Love For You by Whitney Houston
You can't say i was not impressed by Tatiana. She even placed herself under the top group of contestants in group one who can ACTUALLY sing. Too bad Tatiana, you gave viewers such a BAD impression that now only VFTW can save you. BUT, i don't think they will be very impress with your new demure style.. and since she can actually sing, i don't mind if she does make it to the top 12.. but no, i hope she doesn't because there are wayyyyy better singers around. But i think she'll get another shot at wildcard if she doesn't make it tomorrow.
Danny Gokey Hero by Mariah Carey
Best singer of the night, but i wasn't WOWed like what Simon said. It was good, but not a spectacular performance. Like i've said in another thread, there is something that is just missing from him when i watch him perform. Maybe it's that smug look on his face that i don't like. He may be a good singer, but he won't win. He just lacks that likability factor, big time. But i do hope he gets into top 12 though!
With that said, predictions predictions!!
