AMERICAN IDOL 10: TOP 6 - Songs of Carole King
I love that they went with this theme. Carole King has such a fantastic library of music. Hopefully the contestants do it justice. Crazy to believe that we are in the Top 6 already.
9. Lauren Alaina/Scotty McCreery: Up On The Roof: Not a big fan of the song and I didn't feel anything from this performance. The harmonies were cringeworthy and the chemistry was not there. Duets are supposed to be shared between two singers that show some type of emotion or connection to each other. I didn't see it here.
8. Casey Abrams - Hi De Ho: Still not impressed by your vocals. I don't believe that you sing. You just growl, grunt, and moan well. Seriously. You make a great blues guy but even then you still have to possess some type of tone quality. With you there is no tone quality. You are like that jokester in chorus class. You have all of the performance quality but the teacher would never put you in the advanced ensemble
7. Jacob Lusk - Oh No Not My Baby: This was tricky for me. While I loved that arrangement, I didn't particularly like your singing. There were moments of utter flatness. Especially on your held notes. Good to see you have fun up there though. Just a vocal misstep.
6. Haley Reinhart/Casey Abrams - I Feel The Earth Move: They have such great chemistry. They compliment each other very well. Captain and Tenille, maybe??? This was not their greatest vocal. Their other duet was far superior to this. Haley is still a star to me. The things that she does with her voice is so underrated right now. I will say that she has the best vocals left in the competition.
5. James Durbin - Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow: Unexpected song choice for me. I loved your vocals for the most part. There were moments when it got a little shrill. There were also moments when it was vocally good. I can see you getting really complacent. Please go to the edge next week.
4. James Durbin/Jacob Lusk - I'm Into Something Good: Let's put the two male singers who infuse their songs with high notes and theatrical performances together for a duet. It was fun and the most I have seen or heard out of Jacob ever on the show. I think that their vocals compliment each other very well. You could tell that they were having a lot of fun.
3. Lauren Alaina - Where You Lead: You have such a great voice. Just the type that can sing anything. I just need you to break out more and do more with your voice. I know that you have the potential. Good song choice for you and what a cute performance. To me your best performance to date.
2. Scotty McCreery - You've Got A Friend: Way to have a sentimental moment!!! I think that this was his most heartfelt performance. Definitely your best by far. There were a couple of rough vocal spots especially in your upper register. But you made up for it with emotional vocal phrasing. Great job!!!
1. Haley Reinhart - Beautiful: Amazing from note 1!!! The transitions were so flawless and this was such a great song choice!!!! I saw a young Mariah Carey on that stage tonight. You looked and sounded beautiful. Your best performance to date!!!! Why was Randy being a hater tonight? Anyway, rooting for this girl all the way!!!!
Well it was an interesting and semi-entertaining night of AI. I am beginning to see a lot of them blossom *Haley*. I am also beginning to see some sink *Jacob*. Everyone else is kind of on the same plane. I would love to see more growth. There are maybe two that I could see winning or being successful. I would love for the bottom 3 to be Casey, Jacob, and James. Even though I am sure that Haley will replace James in the bottom. If she goes home, I will be so HEATED!!!! She had the best vocal last night and she has the most interesting voice left. Everytime I put someone as my number 1, they tend to go home. I think that Jacob has worn out his welcome. Wouldn't mind seeing Casey go as well.
