Ramiele - yes I really like her too. Such a big voice from a small girl! Her voice is wonderful but she is not choosing the right songs to showcase her voice. Don’t you want to just call them up to tell them that? LOL
You and I agree on Mr. Dreds! He has potential but hasn’t dared to step out of his box since that one really good performance.
The talent has been amazing this year. They just need someone to keep reminding them each week to GO FOR IT!
You, my wife and I seem to have the same take on it.
Clothing, hair, make-up and songs, yes I’d love to whisper some suggestions. No doubt about it...
Ramiel’s voice is very nice. She has a lovely face. She has that behive swirl over her forehead that destroys her looks. They’ve shown her with other hairstyles from the past and a few cute caps that make her an instant super-star (looks-wise), but nobody is telling her. She looks fantastic in some of her clips, and then they show her when she sings and it’s a real let down. Showing more forehead really helps her. As it is, her face looks too round, and that contributes to her looking a little pudgey.
Kristy Lee’s hair is very nice, but when she incorporates the tight curls like she did in her first audition, it boosts her looks by 50%. I was amazed at the two looks, straight hair and that crimped curl look. She is choosing the wrong songs. It’s killing her.
Sayesha is so good. She has an incredible voice and she’s attractive too. She MUST start picking better songs. She could also do with better cute clothing choices. My other advice to her would be to mix up the songs a little. Sing some songs from outside her racial segment. When you narrow your selections to those most greatly apprecaited by 1/10th of the populace, you’re limiting the number of folks who are going to identify with your music and become your fan. I’m not saying this to denegrate some of the fantastic songs out of that segment, but I think you know what I mean. This girl should be connecting with a broad audience and I don’t think she is as well as she could.
There was a black girl a few seasons back that continued to choose very narron segment songs. It cost her and I hated to see it. She was doing a good job, it’s just that the songs didn’t appeal to everyone.
As for the tatood girl, I think she is blowing it. Her song choices have been rather bad too many times. She just got more tatoos on her fingers and they show up every time she sings. Like it or not, those are going to turn a lot of folks off. I’d play down the massive tatoo on her arm, but she’s got to do what she thinks is best. I don’t think pidgeon holing yourself in a competition like this is smart. And her song last night ended in total disaster. She should be leading right now, and her poor decisions are the only reasons why she isn’t IMO.
Well, enough of that. These kids have been given an incredibly opportunity, and I sure would hate to see any of them not tap into it every way they could.
It’s been nice talking with you.
