Currently Listening To: Florence + the Machine - Never Let Me Go
Yeah you read the title correctly, only 11 contestants performed today. Why? Well it's a long story, more about that later. Let's go through the 11 performances first, starting with...
Shannon - One Sweet Day
What's with Shannon and big songs? This girl tries way too hard and fails every single time. Granted, she hit more notes this week but it was still boring and mostly a waste of time. WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE DID A GOOD JOB JUDGES?? Did they have ear plugs on during her performance or something? Also, SHE DOES NOT LOOK 16! They should have asked her to come back next year or something.
Heejun - Right Here Waiting
Eugh not only was that not good, it was actually painfully dull and uninspiring. It didn't sound 'pitchy' to me but definitely he did not sound good with that song. Bad song choice, if he wasn't so popular I'd think he'd be in deep trouble.
Deandre - Endless Love (SERIOUSLY? DUDE'S ONLY 17 YO! GEEZUS)
Oh man another bad song choice. I mean, come on who the hell chooses Endless Love for a 17-year-old kid?? Poor thing, thanks to the song selection, he might be in danger. Why did they choose it for him? #&$%&
Jessica - Turn the Beat Around
Pia Toscano syndrome? She didn't sing it that badly but the performance wasn't as good as her ballads. Stupid song selections, why didn't they provide better songs for the contestants?? Didn't suit her voice at all, don't know if she'll be safe.
Phillip - Hard to Handle
Now that was an interesting one, at least that gave the show a pretty good start cos the performances that came after that were snoozefests. The song suited him and he sang - no, growled it well enough. A good week for Phillip.
Erika - Heaven
Hmmm okay that was a tough one. Even though she sounded good, there was just something about it that sounded...robotic. And she tried to do a little too much with the song.
Colton - Broken Heart
I'm not really a big Colton fan, but that was really nice. I liked the song choice, and I liked the way he sang it. I hate his hairstyle though, he looked like a skunk or something. Not a very good look there Colton.
Skylar - Love Sneaking Up On You
Week after week she delivers energetic and enthusiastic performances. Is that a good thing? Definitely yes! I don't usually like them country girls but Skylar's an exception. Her voice is powerful enough and girl is the only one with great stage presence. And kudos to sticking to your own song choice!
Elise - Let's Stay Together
I'm glad they saved her last week, otherwise we would have missed this awesome performance by Elise. Good job girl, you've risen to the challenge well. Please continue to choose songs that are suitable and then rock it on stage.
Hollie - The Power of Love
That was an excellent song choice, Hollie is what Shannon wishes she could be - a vocal powerhouse. Hollie is definitely Jessica's strongest competitor in the vocals department, and this week she was infinitely better than Jessica so...if there's only a place for one of them, I'm not sure if I'll be voting for Jess, honestly.
Joshua - When a Man Loves a Woman
Wow that was impressive! Very nicely done, great vocals and he blew the crowd away I believe. Excellent job Joshua, here's hoping the voters will you remember now.
So back to the missing contestant in the list - Jermaine. Well, he was kicked off the show because he has 4 active warrants out for his arrest. And why the hell did they record a video of them breaking the news to him and then show it on the live show? Very insensitive.
Don't know if they'll be eliminating anyone tomorrow but if yes, I hope it'll be Shannon
EDIT - Results:
Shannon's gone! It's about time. Given more experience she would have done better, but since she's 16, there are still other opportunities for her.
