Not really, no.
They are all dime a dozen Kareoke level. None show any vocal control consistently. They all vamp, a la Star Search, when they hit spots that require actual singing.
And they are all off key every single time they sing. None as bad as Mishawhatserface they sent off last week, but all of them hit at least 3 or 4 clunkers every time.
You're right - but there is a reason most of these kids were "undiscovered" before the show. This is presumably a chance for one of them to break out and become a pro.
I don't agree, but then again my musical ear could probably use a tune up. Music has never been really important to me.
I think Carrie sounds good. The country sound is nice.
