My rating:
Candace - I got goosebumps from her. It’s her pure musicality, her modest confidence, her subtlety and control.
Kree - she’s got a great voice, and seems so fun and real. She also has intelligence and subtlety in her voice.
Amber - I love the combo of her sweet looks and sweet voice. She can be pitchy but I enjoy her.
Janelle - not my style but I really like how she has grown in this competition. She is coming into her own and I think she will be successful.
Angie - I do not like her. I recognize her skills but her phony demeanor turns me off.
Ra Ra Ra Ra Ricky - for him I have pa pa pa pity. He’s over his head, embroiled in jokesters’ drive to take over Nigel’s li’l train wreck. What can he even do? Nigel has seen this before. On So You Think You Can Dance, they pushed an untrained b bop street dancer along with hyped praise at the start of the competition, then he found himself trapped there because for a few weeks, there were injuries, meaning the injured went home and no one needed to be voted off. It was so obvious he was way out of his league and the choreographers had to dumb down the routines for him since he could do almost nothing but break dance. If they did the same for Lazaro, he’d be singing La Bamba every week. It was embarrassing.
