Aretha-wannabe’s timing seems to be off. Otherwise she’s good. Not Aretha, but she’s got a nice voice.
Joanne – Good. No criticisms. Nothing really special, though, either.
That show really really sucked. The older guys could sing but didn’t have any stage prsence, while the babies (the four under 18) performed better but had horrible moments of being off key.
David H-one of my favorites from the auditions, so I doubt he’ll make it to the top 12
**Chickeze(?)-**bad lounge singer
David C-didn’t really like it but he’ll stay around
David A-the best of the night but not the second coming as the judges think; still he’s cute and makes pocket-sized Ryan look giant
Jason Y-totally forgettable and it wasn’t the song (does nobody remember my Anwar knocking Moon River out of the park season 4?)
Robbie-like Daughtry! only with much much less talent
Luke-pretty, pretty boy-was he singing? This years Ace-please keep him-did I mention the pretty?
Colton-distracted by the hair
Danny-my new favorite flaming contestant-not going anywhere until he’s way past wearing out his welcome
Garrett-seriously? He’s the best they could find?
Jason-hate the dreads, love him but wish he hadn’t gone so far off-key; has potential but I hate it when they pimp those that are off-key
Michael-why don’t the judges just give him a pass to the final two? Not as good as he thinks he is
Overall, nobody blew me away. Now on to girl’s night, or as I like to call it, “Let’s pimp Carly a little more”.
Aretha in looks, maybe. Not in singing style. In fact, she pointed out how not neo-soul and big-voiced she is.
Ooooh, Simon whips out “cabaret” twice in one sentence with Joanne.
That seemed a little harsh from Simon. She really wasn’t bad. I think that might have been one of those things Simon does sometimes when he’s extra critical of someone he thinks can do a lot better.
Well, she was singing an Aretha song (OK, a Bacharach song most famously sung by Aretha). The fact that she can’t belt out a song just means it was a bad song choice I guess!
Aretha sang it? I remember Dionne Warwick.
I thought it was most famously done by Dionne Warwick.
ETA: Biggirl beat me by a minute.
Dionne Warwick did a lot of Bacharach songs, though. They kind of made each other famous. She probably did that one at some point.
This chick is OK.
Less a Carrie and more a Joss Stone lookalike to me. What happend to her shirt, was she attacked on the way to the auditorium by rabid squirrels? Eh, not bad.
Underwood clone #2. She’s doing that annoying baby-voice, whining thing that Britney Spears does. Points off. Other than that it was dull and blandly competent.
I’m so tired of the blonde skinny Underwood-lites.
According to Wiki, the song was written for Dionne, whose version went to #4 in 1967 and Aretha’s version hit #10 in 1968.
Thanks, Nutty Bunny.
Sound quality sucks tonight, grrr. :mad:
This girl’s voice is just plain weird. Don’t like it one bit.
Rock Nurse is only 23, what kind of hard life has she lead? I want her to sing better. I want her to stay for a long time just so I can hear the house band kick ass.
Loved the performance, didn’t like her voice.
I like her. I’m rooting for her.
I think that’s the best I’ve ever heard the band play. I think they were having a lot of fun on Amanda’s song. She doesn’t have the world’s greatest voice, but she’s entertaining.
