Sorry for the delay. But I don’t feel like doing a prediction this week. Because I feel that I’d just go in and become talking bad about most of them. Instead I choose to enjoy the show a bit this week and see who of the 13 is gonna stand out.
The Top 13 performs, Lauren is the first to perform. She takes on the first country girl to go pop, Shania Twain. It is a solid opening, not too bad. Just that the voice has fade a little bit today. Her voice was good, but the pitch ain’t high enough. It didn’t evoke emotion enough.
Oh with this start, it’s the first week of the 14 weeks left of the contest.
Next up, Casey Abram……… can u imagine with a stomach flu still can sing? He is looking a little bit green on the face really. Casey, I think it’s time to hit the psych doctor a bit and see if the stomach is from the nerves. Anyway, he smoothes up some Joe Cocker and show some really sexy jazz up there. And I believe his song choice….. will be the craziest ever. It’ll be nothing u’d have ever heard. He is already a musician before he is here.
It seems the new team of AI music mentor are doing really really good this year. But Ashton is lucky last week. But not good enough. As I said Ashton is not there yet. When it comes to a stage of this year’s bunch. A little bit of imperfection would stand out a lot. As for Ashton, Diana Ross’ she didn’t have enough texture in her voice to hold the song, “The Boss” have a high pitch voice that brings in the cloud of thunder…… Ashton, not quite, it’s just cloud. And surely enough, she is the first to go.
**** one note now, a special report that the Japan earthquake Tsunami has start to reach Hawaii, the Asian side of the Pacific, have receive a little rise in waves, which Australia and New Zealand have turn off their Tsunami warning. But the West Coast still is in observation, because when the wave reach Hawaii there’s reports that it’s rising instead of receeding. So West Coast is waiting to see what would happen when the first wave estimated to arrive at 8am morning. I’m sure the coastal city are sleepless at the moment.
Paul did a great job…. But the dance…… really. But the awkwardness really does work well with his voice.
I’m still a bit bothered about the whole pre-recorded part of the “Live” Show.
I think this year, there’s actually could be finally another man and girl fight in the final show. The reason I say that is that Pia, who close the show last week, is doing a lot more than just sing. She got a great voice, now after this week mentor, she got a soul hook onto the song.
James with Paul McCartney? A rocker singing beetle? You’d melt I tell you. James would slowly melt you with a beetle song. Haha. The third contender in the final race in book will be James. And this year at the end we finally see a little bit of his taurettes
Haley…. did a LeAnn Rimes most memorable country cong, Blues…… that is before she cross over to pop and at the age of 15. But she didn’t really pull it off. It’s not out of tune. It’s just not as amazing as when 15 sings it or as outstanding as high pitch diva sang it. so…… Haley squeek through this week. But the end of the candle is burning in fast. She need to bring on the big gun if she wants to still stay in the game.
Jacob is up next……. R. Kelly?!!!!! Can he Fly? Sure he can. The forth contestant that will stay til the end….. he can sing every R&B out there and he will not ruin it. but his gospel like treatment to every song…… with his mile personality will only get him so far….. so my thought is that he will probably bow out by top 5. If he cannot bring in something really stand out. But AI is proven time after time that it’s not about winning. Because the winning one don’t always succeed. So… it’s about exposure. Who knows, there’s might be another Daughtry in the making.
Oh!??? You ask why is it 6th and not 4th??? Because there’s still Naima coming. You’d be blown away this time. And Scotty…… will close off the 5th. A already sure thing
Thia is here. Smile everyone? Thia pull of a really good one this week and give America something to talk about with her soulful voice. But I find that Thia is a bit faster than the beat. Need to hold the nerve and control the rhythm girl. Good job this time though. But the song is solemn so….. there’s not much hype on the wood work of the song. Thia has done as interesting as it can be.
One more note, that is……. The top 13 performance this year in the result show, is a bit off base. The harmony is not really there. It only kicks in in the second part….. but it still closes with an amateurish act. And Scotty got no solo on a MJ medley hahaha expected.
Stefano, narrow last week, this week is still shaky. It’s a shame really. His voice is….. very sellable. But the manor he presented it is a bit off beat……. I think he gotta smoothen it up a little bit, you gota build it up, a smoother identity to match that voice. Now it’s all over the place and not so charming. You can hear the voice but not the jazz yet.
Karen…. channeling Selena……. Well not too much. She lack that sultriness that Selena have. She is too smooth. She didn’t even match Jennifer’s version softness of the song in the Selena movie. She definitely got the voice but not forceful enough. Oh, if only I can switch her with Stefano. Then it’s be perfect.
Country people, closing off the top 5 spot is Scotty, he can start recording….. erm, which bring in the question…. Is plain just country enough? I think he have to amp up the voice just a little bit. Because the low and smooth is gonna smooth out really soon without some peaks. To tell the truth, I’m sure a lot of Nashville exec is waiting right outside the Theatre waiting for Scotty to be kicked off so that they can sign him into their roaster right off the front door. He got the face, the youth, and the voice. He just need to sign.
Naima closes the show…… err, Rihanna? I dun know. I thought that Naima could take the second spot. But looks like it that Pia is taking the top girl spot. This week, she dances even better than her singing…. A good way to close the show, but just good enough actually. So……
It seems that the spot for the top 6 is settling in more firmly this week. Leading the way is Casey, then James follow by Scotty and the girls, Pia and Naima and Jacob closing off the top semi final.
