American Idol Week Two
Well, after last week I was really excited to see this week's show, but by the time it was done, I was wishing it was last week again. I have to say that all 8 of the singers from last week were better than all 8 of the singers from this week and it is a crime that two of this week's contestants are going to go through and the rest from last week probably will not unless they make it on the wild card show. Wrong wrong wrong.
Anyway, here is what I thought, the good (not much), the bad (plenty), and the ugly (well Ryan Seacrest makes me forget all that *sigh* *wink*):
1. Matt - (I was missing last week's Matt for sure!)- anyway, he has a very smooth voice, but it sounded kind of loungy tonight - just not dynamic enough.
2. Briana - she was really edgy and unique in the auditions and tonight she just butchered Norah Jones. Don't butcher my Norah! Totally the wrong song for her I think.
3. Noel - to me he looked like a high school kid singing in a talent show - very nervous.
4. Kara - loves the audience - lots of energy, but her high notes especially were really scary.
5. Lisa - her voice doesn't match her looks at all but she can sing - not as blow away as the top two last week but she'll do.
6. Jesus - I didn't believe a word he sang - he was just singing words and I think it was totally the wrong song for him.
7. Camile - sweet but she seemed a lot overwhelmed - I agree with the judges that she does have potential.
8. Marisa - definitely her own style, but she was into it - definite potential, but a little too much “stuff” going on in the song I thought.
My ranking:
1. Lisa
2. Marisa
3. Matt
4. Camile
5. Kara
6. Briana
7. Jesus
8. Noel
My prediction:
I think Lisa and Marisa will make it because they were the only ones that really pulled off a good performance. Camile has an outside shot because the judges were positive with her. Other than that, I can't really see any of them making it.
So far the guys just haven't been strong at all. Simon said during auditions it might be an all female top 12 and he may be right!
Last week I voted for three people. This week I can't bring myself to vote for any.
Let's just hope next week is better or Fantasia and Diana may cruise to the finals.
