The girls started out awful, and by the end edged up slightly to okay. With two notable exceptions.
Chelsea Sorrell - Cowboy Casanova - She did a god imitation of
Carrie, but nothing more. That's not enough at this point.
Erika Van Pelt - What About Love - Really? ANY girl could sing that
song and sound good, it's just that type of tune. It doesn't
showcase anything, and easily classifies as "Forgettable". She did
look comfortable out there, though.
Jen Hirsh - One and Only - Dull. Excruciatingly dull. I like her in
Groovesauce and Lady and the Spectacles, but never liked her much as
an individual singer.
Brielle Von Hugel - SIttin' on the Dock of the Bay - Interesting
beginning, her sitting with the guys and then flouncing upstage, but
the song...is...
If it must be sang on Idol, it should only be an audition song. And
she has WAY TOO MUCH New York attitude.
Hallie Day - Feelin' Good - Boring. Bad all over. Her lips are
enormous, her face looked predatory and masculine. Yawnnnn....
Skylar Laine - Stay With Me - This girl has ATTITUDE!!! The good
kind! Skylar ROCKED it. Very good.
Baylie Brown - Amazed - As soon as Ryan told us which song she'd be
attempting, I was like, "Oh crap," And I was right. That was
horrendous, girls. do. not. sing. this. song.
Hollie Cavanagh - Reflection - Nervous at the first line, but after
that....she was wonderful. She looked at home, she's nice-looking,
she has a great voice, she, like Colton, could be on the radio RIGHT
THIS SECOND. That just left us all like "Wow." Very, very good.
Haley Johnsen - Sweet Dream - Haley, Haley, Haley.....you could
choose any song you wanted, and you went with...whatever that was?
If she would have picked almost anything else, I think she'd be
through, but with that ninety-second freak-out, she bombed her way
out.
Shannon Magrane - Light Up Your World - It's a nice song that you
don't hear often enough, it was kind of good.
Jessica Sanchez - Love You I Do - Catchy song, hate her voice, it
was forgettable. And the glitter on her chin...seriously?
Elise Testone - One and Only - Multiple contestants shouldn't be
allowed to sing the same song in the same show. It was okay, still
dull, boring and forgettable, but much better than Jen's version.
The piano was a nice touch.
Hollie blew everyone out of the water like I was hoping she would,
she's a lock. Skylar's in. The other three...I'm not sure, nobody
else really stood out all that much. I guess Shannon, Elise and
Haley, because either America or the judges will take sympathy on that nightmare performance. The girls overall are even more unimpressive than last year, and they're picking even worse songs.
Now to see how accurate my picks were...(I'm an awful prognosticator, routinely finishing in fifth or sixth place of our six-person group.)
