>>It wasn’t bad but again, Jessica is not the entertainer Skylar is and Hollie’s voice is as good.<<
Holly’s voice is better IMHO.
P2 is gone — next week will be a tougher decision since the judges are in the tank for Jessica (who I used to like but am thinking needs 2 or 3 more years of hard work) and Skylar might be outside some people’s comfort zone.
If Holly keeps singing like she has tonight there is no reason she can’t run the table. But America is quirky — we all know that the best singer (or even entertainer) has rarely won Idol.
You’re right.
And I don’t know how much influence those judges have but I’m sure they have some. It’s part of human nature. They sit in a position, however tenuous, of , well, judgement, and are perceived as experts on the matter, but of course.
Now when Simon was around I think the judges were more on the mark with their critiques. With Steven Tyler lost in some drug haze somewhere and Jlo around to sell clothes and Randy who’s probably the most objective...well I dunno.
For whatever reason they’ve been hyping this Jessica and I know with all my heart and soul that Simon Cowell would have been complaining about Jessica and her stilted stage presence.
AI is about performers as much as singers and America sent Jessica home once but the judges, they know best.
They remind of the Blue Blood GOP, who know, KNOW I TELL you, that you must have a Bob Dole, a John McCain, a Romney in your life.
I’m still mad at Comcast by the way.
Joshua gave a great performance. Everybody did better tonight than Jessica tonight. Except maybe Phillip.
