I like the dogwalker. I don’t know how talented she’ll turn out to be, if given the chance there’s some potential there, but I like her more than the previous singers so that’s something.
I’m really trying to like Leslie. She reminds me of a typical spunky anime girl, doing her best to succeed against whatever life throws at her. But I have to agree with Simon, she looks out of her element.

Quick! What was the name of the girl who just sang Natural Woman?

Crazy Leslie Hunt. Come on, she’s one of the 3 females I know! Diogenes is right, there is something off about her. I’m kinda rooting for her; she at least doesn’t seem cookie cutter. But there is something off kilter…

“I Can’t Make You Love Me” is not Amy Grant. It’s Bonnie Raitt.
In this case, it was caterwauling that was disgrace either Bonnie Raitt or Amy Grant.

The judges telling the girl who butchered that song that she “chose a too-safe song, we wanted the bluesy/R&B vibe you showed in the auditions” was too ironic. Bonnie isn’t bluesy? She just sucked all the life out of that song, she was so over melisma I was left wondering if she had any plan what note she was going for with every single word she warbled.

Hate her.

Well, I’d agree with the judges that that particular song is probably the least bluesy Bonnie Raitt song I know.
She looks a little like Steven Tyler but doesn’t have his singing chops. This is passable but nothing special. I guess it’s cool that she’s doing Aerosmith.
