American IDol top 24, the ladies are up, half is great, half is not so....




It’s the ladies to take the stage tonight, Naima comes in the second to perform and she nail it to the boot with a not so Jazzy jazz tone and turning it into Naimaism Jazz blues sexy. 1st lady to register to the top 6 tonight.

Seems like the ladies can sell sexiness like hot cakes. The tweak tonight is on the vocal and the performance is sexy required. So 2 for 2 Kendra hits in the sexy notes with perfect pitch and perfect tone. And the performance is hot.

Rachel, well, I’m not gonna rule her out yet. That sultry voice, is really unique. But……. She did stumble a little bit when she try to work the stage and there’s where some of the pitch goes. The voice is fine. The style is fine. Just no together enough.

The ladies is actually doing better than the guys. The uniqueness simply shine through first the first get go. Those that doesn’t comes out of the karaoke-style singing. It’s just won’t do.

For Karen, The singing is ok. A bit karaoke, not enough energy for a song that needs subtle forces throughout. There is no doubt the girls are all good voices this year. So the standing out is the main niche.

Lauren Turner, not too bad. But she did show some of her bad trait in the voice. While Bette Midler could cover the flaws with great personality, but Lauren still lack that stage presence now. So the unreachable notes does stand out more than a diva voice.

Haley……. Anyone looking for a different version of sexy Alicia? Haley brings it on. She is the kind that u either like her or don’t from the get go. Me I’m on borderline likeliness. The voice got a bit of pitch to it. But the redemption are on the turn down husky. But better than karaoke though. I think she’d have to get more define on what her personality is. And turn down on the little dirty bit of the sexiness part though.

Thia, the baby of the batch, does the silent start treatment. And it best features the best of the voice with a silent confidence to it. It’s almost the same effect with what David Archuleta did in Imagine. Now Thia has totally taken the top spot in my top 6.

Lauren Aliana, tries the country rock turn. It seems to work ok for her. But because how green she is, it’s neither rock nor country yet. She have to amp up that rockiness and coutriness a little bit more. As I’ve said before, for the girls it’s not about the voice. It’s about gracefulness and uniqueness on stage. The voice is natural, but she gotta show more.

Pia, Stand by you? Her singing remind me of a Martina McBride version of the song. One way to close the show on a perfect high note, literally. It’s not pitchy, it’s right to the point, it’s……..High. So after careful consideration, the first will go to Pia

Pia and Thia have the perfect voice with a perfect song and a perfect stage presence, Naima and Kendra is the sexy soulful duo, Lauren Aliana and Haley round up the last 2 for me.
