Guys look relaxed, but they shouldn’t be…Philly girl Nicole Tranquillo up next.
Nicole Tranquillo…she’s got an interesting voice. “Stay Together” good stage presence, good song selection, great range. Randy: didn’t work for him. Paula: doesn’t know many people that can hit the notes that she hit…she can sing. Simon: Indulgent, aggressive, looked fake…so let me get this right…she goes, she SINGS, takes a risk and gets.. not much for it…WHAT? This is a SINGING competition, right? Randy said it was too urban…she has the chops…needs to get the right song to show them off…
Haley Scarnato, 24 up next…she has been a freelance singer since she was fifteen and considers Celene Dion her hero…here’s a shock..she’s doing a Celene Dion song…I’m gonna go out on a limb and say she is too gimmicky before I even hear her and she will be sent home this week…ok, just kidding. “All Coming Back to Me”…solid start, good stage presence, nice note toward the bridge, seems safe to me, played well to the camera too..did a nice job…Judges: Randy: ok for him, good choice though didn’t do anything special with it. Paula: did a nice job. Simon: Sounded 40, a bit like being at a reasonable good hotel and that was the last song of the evening. Made herself dated and old. A little boring…I disagree with the judges, however Celene’s radioplay days are well behind her, but she is an inspiration for a lot of people with her music. If Simon’s comments ring true, Mom’s and Grandmom’s should bring her back next week.
A quick recap of the evening- Stephanie is still the one to beat in my eyes, with Sabrina in a close second. Again tonight some are not picking the right songs for their very talented vocal chords. eight down, four to go…
Melinda Doolittle next..with the third Aretha song of the night. She is backup singer on stage and in the studio…great stage presence, she’s owning the stage, great personality, solid range..”Since You Been Gone”..she totally took an Aretha song and made it her own, no nerves..none that I noticed anyway..and she’s having fun! Judges: Randy: If you got it, show it, loved it! Paula: She’s a frontrunner, unbelieveable Simon: Incredible singer, fantastic person, really hope she does well. She’s in the top three tonight, she may even be the best I’ve heard to far….but there are three to go tonight.
Alaina Alexander, loves Mariah Carey and almost gave up her dream in music until she made it on Idol. “Brass in Pocket”…well she’s definitely putting her personality, like her voice, minimal nerves if any…and another one having some fun on the stage.
Judges: Randy: didn’t like the song, pitchy Paula: didn’t go for it and put her umph into it Simon: kept singing I’m Special and it wasn’t. hard to make that kind of song your own. Reliant on looks, not voice. Not sure she will be back next week…
Gina Glocksen, Dental assistant, she was one of the few who made it to Hollywood last year, and came back, to get past that round to the Top 24…”All By Myself”..ballad alert!
Ricky and the band keeping it low, pitchy on one of the high notes, managed to work it out…took the end cold, but will it payoff? Judges: Randy: surprised Paula: right song to sing. Simon: different side to her..didn’t think she hit the big note…however she has the mom in tears factor….we’ll see…
Lakisha Jones closing the show, she was tabbed as one of the best and she is closing the show…She’s from
“Your Gonna Love Me”…great stage presence…personality, she’s closing with a bang…great notes on the end…cold too! We have a new frontrunner Judges: Randy: You laid it out…Paula: This is where you belong Simon: That’s the right note…very tempted to say to 23 people, book your plane tix home…was in a different league…Lakisha is the one to beat as of this moment…the guys have a LOT of work to do…some have a LOT LOT of work to do…and one or two of the guys can go home tonight…the review of the evening coming in a bit…
