I know. I’m out of order again. I blame Fox. But you can check out this week’s results here.
Carly Smithson works at an Irish bar (she kinda sorta has an Irish accent to show she fits right in) and loves her home. She sings Crazy on You.
Randy-Good towards the end.
Paula-Takes a fine singer to sing those big notes.
Simon-Much better performance than last week. Doesn’t think yet she’s connected with the right song. Thinks she’s an incredible singer who’s the girl to beat if she picks the right song.
Syesha Mercado has done some acting. She sings Me and Mr. Jones.
Randy-Not a great song choice because it’s too soft.
Paula-Agrees she tends to go off pitch on the softer notes, but Paula likes it.
Simon-Indulgent. Silly singing a song originally entitled Me and Mrs. Jones. Not really designed for her voice.
Brooke White went to beauty school, but while there, she discovered music half way through the program. She’s playing her guitar and sings You’re So Vain, an example of a good song choice. Even if she may not have the strongest voice, she has the total package it takes to go far in this competition.
Randy-Great song choice. Was she looking at Simon and singing this song to him?
Paula-Perfect song choice.
Simon-Absolutely loved it.
Ramiele Malubay used to Polynesian dance when she was little. We might see her dancing on stage at some point. Maybe. She sings Don’t Leave Me This Way.
Randy-A little rough. Just okay. Weird song choice.
Kristy Lee Cook likes to be a tomboy and does outdoorsy stuff. She sings You’re No Good, another good song choice.
Randy-100% improvement over last week but not quite a breakout performance.
Paula-Kristy’s back. Good song choice.
Simon-Huge improvement but doesn’t know how to label her. Thinks she’ll be better if she goes down more of a country route.
Amanda Overmyer tends to be a bookworm. She sings Carry on My Wayward Son. When she’s rocking it works for the most part, but the lower notes really don’t.
Randy-Wasn’t the right song choice for her. Way too much melody and instrumental breaks.
Paula-Gotta do what fits right.
Simon-Everything felt contrived. None of it felt natural. Ugly song.
Alaina Whitaker doesn’t like the food on her plate to touch each other. A very Kelly Pickler kind of story. She sings Hopelessly Devoted.
Randy-Didn’t think it was the right song. Too restrained.
Paula-Real good job.
Simon-Almost as if her grandmother prepared her for the audition, but she’s one of the dark horses in the competition.
Ryan-Heels and blue dresses aren’t my thing.
Alexandrea Lushington sings If You Leave Me Now.
Randy-So safe. Boring.
Paula-Did make it her own.
Simon-Was a big fan in the early stages. Song is stuck in its time period. Inconsistent performance. Boring.
Kady Malloy can also sing opera, not just Britney Spears. Tonight she’s singing Magic Man, whatever that’s about.
Randy-Very interesting song choices tonight. Never quite found the notes.
Paula-Sounded great on the powered notes. Not quite sure who she is.
Simon-Fantastic on film. Didn’t go anywhere on stage.
Asia’h Epperson was a cheerleader through middle and high school. She sings All By Myself, a song that could easily go either way.
Randy-Really good job considering the difficulty
Paula-Tada. Problems in the low notes but the ending brought it home.
Simon-Not a good enough singer to pull it off. Shouldn’t have attempted it. Silly decision.
