I pretty much agree with your ratings. Looking over the thread, it seems like people didn’t like the judges response to Candace last night and while it was a bit over the top, I do agree with Randy that it was one of the most memorable performances in AI history. I know it’s corny, but I cried. It was on par or slightly better then the Adele version and I love Adele.
I think Kree slightly edged Amber out last night, but it was only because of song choice. Kree picked an absolutely perfect song for her and Amber was not quite as perfect. BUT Amber has come a long way from the first few weeks when I kept saying, “Who is Amber?” every time they announced her name.
Janelle, well, she’s still better then the boys, but her second song was very wobbly. I don’t dislike Angie, but I agree that she has a bit of an affected demeanor. Someone said to me once that for people to know you, they have to see you. I feel like she’s performing songs instead feeling them. Instead of putting the feelings of sadness or heartbreak into her voice, she’s thinking, “Okay, this is the part where I should act sad/heartbroken, etc.” We are not seeing Angie. But she is young so hopefully that will come in time. Otherwise, there’s always community theater.
Little Ricky- Just stop. Stop singing, stop stuffing your pants, stop trying to be sexy. Just stop.
I think Randy in particular reacted to the crowd response.
Deserved, and a great performance, but the hyperbole was over the top,
at least to me.
At times the judges over comment on the greatness, while the competition is
still far from over.
Did Kevin Bacon just wake up?
