AMERICAN IDOL 9: Boston Auditions
So we have started the start of my true obsession, American Idol. I have watched it for every season and can tell you every contestant that has made the top 10/12 since the show started and do it in order of elimination. Just FYI. For some reason, I am not too excited about this season. I think that it is the absence of Paula. I really liked her. But oh well. I thought that Victoria Beckham fit in quite well. She definitely would have made a great permanent fill IMO. Anyway on to the auditions.
The Bad
Janet McNamara
Pat Ford
Derek Hilton - This guy made me laugh. Super funny how he switched voices.
Mere Doyle
Andrew Fenlon - I completely agree with Kara. I would have killed to have been given the shot to audition for the judges of American Idol.
Bill Bloom
Michael Ryan
Lisa Olivero - At least, she was featured for another "asset". That was funny.
Ryan Keane
Norberto Guerroro - I didn't know if it was a girl with a facial hair problem or a guy who need to lose the hairdo. The Latoya Jackson comparison was priceless. Thanks Simon.
The Why's
Claire Fuller - From the 10 second clip, I was not that impressed at all. I am sure that she will not go far.
Amadeo Diricco - I agree, he is a nice guy. He does have a powerful instrument but I thought that he had horrible vocal control. His personality may take him far. May be used to help promote the good vocalist in the Top 24.
Benjamin Bright - It was okay but not Hollywood material. He will flop soon.
Mike Davis - Again, another charming guy but not a great vocal. I would not have sent him through. He could be the one that grows in the competition.
Joshua Blaylock - I agree with Simon. He sounded like a 13 year old. For 28, he has a lot of work to do.
Bosa Mora - I LOVED his parents but I am not a huge fan of his vocals. I think that he could have done a whole lot better. Maybe he will step it up in Hollywood.
THE GOOD
Maddy Curtis - What a lovely tone. For 16, she is amazing. There was a calmness and stillness about her that I like. She just stood there and sang a difficult song.
Jennifer Hirsh - Loved the jazzy version of this movie classic song. She has a nice jazzy quality to her vocals that just come natural.
Jess Wolfe - Her vocals were different and solid. I liked her rough tone. Great for the show.
Luke Shaffer - I really liked his whole package. Great vocals, great look, and awesome personality. Voice was very current.
Ashley Rodriguez - AWESOME. I liked everything about her. She better make it far.
Tyler Grady - Liked him a lot. I really like the 70's/Jim Morrison vibe that he gives off.
Justin Williams - Took me a while but I like him. I don't know if he has the vocal chops to make it further than he did last year.
Leah Larenti - AWESOME. I loved what she did with the song. She knew her boundries and she expanded herself all over. Highs and lows and different keys. Great.
Katie Stevens -AWESOME VOCALS!!! I loved it. She better make it to the top 24.
Not too many exciting male vocalist but the females are rocking my socks. Off to Atlanta.
