I love Scott...great voice. Loved it.
Slow start to the night, but it picked up in the end (and what a BIG end it was).
Anyway my ratings:
1. Jorge Nunez - Dont Let the Sun Go Down On Me - Absolutely Fantastic. The dude can sing and he can sing great. Plus the emotions are going to get him some votes. This is one to watch out for.
2. Junot Joyner - Hey There Delialah - Talk about coming out of nowhere. What a voice. I really really like him. Awesome controlled vocal.
3. Lil Rounds - Be Without You - Dont know the song, and dont really care for it, but the Girl has got the pipes and I have to give her props. She was great, but good god the back of the dress looked like two raccoons wrasslin in a burlap sack.
4. Kristen Mcnamara - Give Me One Reason - I disagree with the judges here. I thought this was fantastic. I really hope she gets another shot, be it the wild card or voted in.
5. Scott McIntyre - Mandolin Rain - I was very impressed with Scott and thought he did a very good job, but he will not win this competition and honestly is not in the same league vocally as Danny, Adam, Jorge and Junot.
6. Kendall Beard - This One’s For The Girls - I really really really wanted to rank Kendall higher. I liked the song, she looks awesome, and I am a huge country fan. But, I have to be honest, she would be out in the first few weeks of the finals, and was nowhere near as good as Lil or Kristin.
7. Von Smith - Youre All I Need - I wrote down that this was great in my notes, but I had totally forgotten Von by the time I got to the end of the show. That was all I needed to drop him down here.
8. Alex Wagner-Trugman - I Guess thats Why they Call It the Blues - Erkel meets Joe Cocker. He has a unique voice, but this was just a fun performance that was just OK.
9. Taylor Vianafua - If I Aint Got You - Very nervous sounding early, finished with a pretty good Money Note, but was just very karaoke to me.
10. Arrianna Asfar - The Winner Takes It All - and it will not be you Arianna. Pretty girl, mediocre voice.
11. Felicia Barton - No One - now we know why Felicia did not make the Top 36 originally. A complete utter total trainwreck. Off Key, screechy, flat, just HORRIBLE.
12. Nate Marshall - I Will do Anything For Love - UGH. Meat Loaf just rolled over in his grave, and he isnt even dead yet, but this horrid campy disaster of epic proportions may have killed him.
Prediction - LIL and JORGE definately through to the finals. Third spot a battle between Kristen, Junot, Kendall and Scott. Each will have a following. Could get interesting tomorrow night. I will say Kristen gets in, although it should be Junot
WILDCARDS - Ricky Braddy, Tatiana Del Toro, Anoop Desai, Megan Corkrey, Kai Kalama, Ju’not Joyner, Scott McIntyre, Kendall Beard.
FINAL 12 - Danny Gokey, Alexis Grace, Michael Sarver, Adam Lambert, Allison Irehata, Kris Allen, Lil Rounds, Jorge Nunez, Kristen Mcnamara, Junot Joyner, Ricky Braddy, Tatiana Del Toro
You didn't like his effeminate growling? ;)
LOL!!
I love Karen Carpenter. But then you knew that. ;)
Have you heard that song Unbeautiful by Leslie Roy I think her name is?
I’m hooked on that song right now. I love that gravely voice she has.
I see people in Walmart wearing the same thing :)
Not digging Lil and her angry performance.
No...Men with effeminate voice,or anything not manly about ‘em... are permanently in my no likey column.
:)
Yeah. I just noticed in one of the other threads on FR tonight that the Italian government is going to bail out its fashion industry. Not only has the world gone bail-out crazy, but trust the Italians to prop up one industry that should definitely be allowed to go under. (My father was born in Italy, so I can happily rag on them.)
It's a rare breed of monkey only found in Arkansas, New York, and sometimes Israel :)
LOL!
If you put Obama’s face on that you’d be called a racist
Yes that’s it! LMAO
“Look I’m all covered in Parmesan and savory spices!”
