I had to work earlier tonight again so I again had to TiVo the show. Let's go over how it all went down, shall we?!
These are truly my comments, BTW. Any similarities is because I am just as good as the judges!
Von - I thought there were some weird parts. Perhaps even a little pitchy. I'm not sure if he has what it takes to be a star; but I thought he was definitely better than during Hollywood week. Apparently Randy thought so too. My grade: C
Taylor - I thought she sang hard. Her head kept on moving/nodding while she was singing. Not too many people can pull off Alicia Keys and I thought it was a nice attempt since she's only 17. But overall, not good enough. My grade: C
Alex - I like his dorky-ness and quirky-ness. I just like his personality. I thought he started the song pretty good but as the song went on I don't think I liked the arrangements much. Apparently the judges didn't care for it too much either. My grade: C
Arianna - Girl, when someone says you're cute as a button do not take offense to it! You are too young to have an attitude! I thought she was a very good singer. Definitely got skills for a 16- or 17-year-old. Although I felt that her falsetto was much stronger than her belting out the high notes. My grade: C+
Ju'not - I liked his version of "Delilah". But Danny's BFF's (sorry, can't remember his name all of the sudden) version kept on popping back into my head because it was so good! My grade: B-
Kristen - She reminds me of Kelly Clarkson, ever since Hollywood week. Apparently Kara seemed to think so too. I love her powerful voice, just like I love Kelly's. That's why she's my favorite AI winner by far. Anyway...I thought Kristen is a great stage performer. On a side note, I think she could use a makeover. My grade (on her singing): B+
Nathaniel - I didn't really care for his performance. I thought I was watching a broadway musical or something. And what's up with all the special and added attention on him? First was an introduction of his family and then an invite to "get up close and personal" with the judges? I hope there's no favoritism! My grade: C-
Felicia - Oh! No wonder I don't remember her! She's the one replacing that girl who once had a record deal and appeared in the broadway show Annie when she was a little girl but for some odd reason got kicked off the show! Well, I thought she had a nice voice and at times looked like Alicia Keys! Not only did she at times look like Alicia Keys, she even performed like Alicia Keys! I thought it was a little copycat and Simon thought so too! Let me say this again: everything I've said and am about to say are truly my very own thoughts and opinions. Any similarities are purely coincidental. Or, I'm just that good! Anyway, my grade: C+
Scott - He's a nice guy. And part of me want him to advance but this is a singing competition and I have to judge on his singing talent alone (instead of feeling sorry for him because of his challenges)...I thought it was just okay. My grade: C
Kendall - Pretty girl. Looks like a country singer. Didn't do much for me. My grade: C-
Jorge - I thought he has a very nice voice. Best male vocal performance tonight, in my opinion. I love the Spanish accent/vibe in his performance and thought his performance was very solid. Really? A dialect coach? I guess his Spanish accent must've been even stronger 'cuz I can still hear it. But anyway, I thought he did very good. My grade: B+
Lil - She's always reminded me of Fantasia for some reason. Anyone agree with me?! I thought her performance was okay tonight. I thought she lacked soul in her voice. Mary J. Blige has lots of soul and emotion in her voice and I didn't get that from Lil. She didn't blow me away. I didn't jump out of my seat as much as the judges did. I thought her vocal was just okay. Perhaps I have higher expectations from her because the judges think so highly of her?! My grade: B-
So, here are my top 3: 1. Kristen, 2. Jorge, and 3. Lil and/or Ju'not (tie). Let's find out next week if I got this right.
