First up is Kristy Lee Cook - "Rescue Me" - she's more of a country singer so I'm curious to see if she'll be able to pull off the Carrie Underwood thing and navigate through the themes effectively. The song choice is good but her voice seems a little thin for the song. It's nice, but seems to lack some power that would really make the song soar. Like this it's just a good version of the song, but kinda boring. She's way hot though. Grade B
Joanne Borgella - wow, her voice doesn't sound that good tonight. I have to agree that i thought she'd have a more soulful voice. that could end up hurting her in the end as that what people are expecting to hear from her. She's missing a lot of the higher notes which could be from the flu that the girls are dealing with plus she's looking really nervous. I didn't get the ending to the song. She should have stopped after the chorus. Grade C+
Alaina Whitacker - Carrie's twin needs to give a good performance because she's got a lot of talented singers to compete against and she hasn't had a lot of air time. Hmm, good start. The lower notes were a little problem but by the time she kicked into the chorus she found her zone. I think she's going to be compared to Carrie a lot because she seems to have the same type of voice and seems to perform very similar to her. Good job though. Best of the first three we've seen. Grade B+
Amanda Overmeyer - Whoa! I don't get this at all. You can't understand a thing that she's saying and can hardly hear her over the guitar. I don't get her Elvira hairdo. This whole thing is a hot mess! I had higher hopes for her. Grade D
Amy Davis - Here's another one that we didn't get a lot of airtime on before. It'll be interesting to see what she does. Her pictures floating around the internet are HOT though. She should definitely try to get into modeling if she hasn't already. She sounded good in Hollywood week but then is all over the place tonight. The song is boring and her voice is grating. This is not good at all. Grade D+
Brooke White - she has a really nice, pure voice but I think her voice might be a little on the weaker side compared to the rest. It'd be interesting to see how she does. Again, she's got a nice voice but it's not strong enough for this song. To borrow from Simon, it sounds like good karaoke. It's a nice rendition but not awesome. She needs to work on her showmanship as well. Grade B
Alexandrea Lushington - "Spinning Wheel". Ugh, what's up with everyone tonight. These are all such bland performances. finally, near the middle she picks it up and gives the song some life. However, she keeps missing some of the higher notes. also, after having Bo knock it out of the park during his season this is a bit of a let down. Grade B-
Kady Malloy - Does "Britney Spears" have a real voice? Let's find out. Whoa! She sounds great! Totally different from Britney. A little deeper than I was expecting. It was a quiet, sincere performance. It was really good. My favorite of the night so far. Grade A-
Asia'H Epperson - "Piece of My Heart" - FINALLY! Someone is singing well, having fun and picked a good song for their voice. Best one of the night by far. She was having fun and enjoying the moment. Grade A
Romiele Malubay - "You don't Have You Love" - i love this song! She's really holding back on her voice to make it more seductive. I like it though. Just waiting for her to belt out. She sounds great on this song and is emoting it very well. I really like it. Just became my favorite of the night. Grade A
Syesha Mercado - "Tobacco Road" - Syesha has a great voice, which she showed off at Hollywood Week. She continues to show it off this week. Great showmanship and has a powerful voice. Great ending. Grade B+
Carly Smithson - Here she comes, "the chosen one". First week and she already has the pimp spot. They're doing everything they can to make sure this girl wins. Let's see what she comes up with. OMG, this is such a boring song. But she sounds great and effortless. The judges are going to love it just to pimp her even more. I really thought she would have chosen something that would have showed off her voice a lot more. This really didn't do anything for her. Big disappointment. Grade B i actually completely agree with everything Simon is saying on this.
So there you have it. Overall, I think this show was a big disappointment. I guess the guys are better as a whole this season. My bottom 3 would be Amanda, Amy, and Joanne. However I don't think that Amanda will actually make it to the bottom so I would probably put in Alexandrea Lushington. Going home tomorrow will be Amanda and Joanne. I can't wait to see what happens.
