Better show than the girls but only slightly. Still too many sappy/safe songs.
Taylor - did not like the song choice but I loved watching him perform it. He is feeling it every time while on stage. He's a performer. He just needs to find the right type and stick with it.
Elliot - I'm not nearly as caught up in his vocals as most appear to be. I thought it was okay. Better than most though but that's akin to being the world's tallest midget.
Ace - Simply awful. Pretty boy can't sing and that song proved it. He'll sail through because the tween girls don't care about singing ability.
Gedeon - Honestly, I was most surprised by him. It was really good and MUCH better than last week. His stock went up IMHO
Kevin - cute act is over and he's showing he's not ready for prime time at all.
Sway - worse than last week and that's saying something. I thought he was supposed to be good??? Not even close
Will - the vocals were really strong IMHO but the song choice was dreadful. He needs to find his niche as well as he can sing. His "look" is popular now so he's likely to stick around. One of the best vocalist though.
Bucky - Better than last week and in his element but not good enough to be in the top 12 overall IYAM.
David - I wanted to like it as I enjoy that genre but Simon was right. If you are going to sing the standards, you have to have that aire of supreme confidence that you don't give a crap about what anyone thinks, you are going to sing the hell out of this song. He's not there yet. In a few years maybe...
Chris - Absolutely brilliant! He has the ideal voice for the alternative rock genre and he completely nailed that song. He moved to the top of my leaderboard tonight. It will be interesting to see how he does on those ridiculous theme nights. But if Marty Casey could pull off singing Britney Spears on Rock Star INXS, Chris can likely do the same. I thought he was clearly the best of the top 20. Hs only problem is that I'm not sure alt.rock is the target for AI.
In summary:
Top 4: Chris, Taylor, Elliot, Gedeon
Middle 3: Will, Ace, Bucky
Not good enough: David, Kevin, Sway
Who is going home?
Guys: Kevin and Bucky
Girls: Kinnik and Heather
Predictions for top 12:
Guys: Chris, Taylor, Elliot, Gedeon, Ace, and Will
Girls: Katherine, Paris, Lisa, Ayla, Mandisa, and Kellie
Prediction for the Finals: Chris and katherine
Katherine definitely has the talent, but I haven't seen her really step up yet. Chris and Taylor are about the only ones that really put it all out there when they perform. Ace has proven to be way too much of a pretty boy. Ace needed to toughen up his act to appeal to a broader range of people, but instead went the opposite way. It will be a very strong top 12.
Indeed.
Who is going home?
Guys: Kevin and Bucky

Not Sway or Brenna?
