Good article--great analysis. How many more "power singers" does American need, after Jennifer Hudson? I just don't know.
Lakisha's voice is beautiful and mellow. I just wish she'd stay far away from the Fantasia Screech.
Melinda's voice is cool and calming, but there are dozens like her out there in Gospel Choirs throughout America. What makes her different?
Jordin projects energy and sunshine. It is such a pleasure to watch her and listen to her. She has the "joie de vivre" that other top twelves are lacking.
Stephanie is cool, composed, and easy on the eyes. But do we need another Natalie Cole?
Gina is very contemporary, and just edgy enough without going overboard. I think she is good AI material.
Haley is the prototypical pageant singer. Not quite good enough to be the AI.
Who will go home in the week ahead? I think it will be Haley.
I think its going to be a guy going home first.
Earlier today I thought of a good song for Blake to do. "Hard To Handle" by the Black Crowes.
Haley, then stinkgaya.
