American Idol Season 11: Top 6 Queen Night and Contestant's Choice
QUEEN NIGHT!!! I am a fanatic about the music of Queen!!! Hopefully they do not mess this up LOL. They did this theme in Season 5 and the ladies, Paris and Katharine, really showed out!!! I really hope to have some standout performances tonight especially since they get to choose their own song!!!
Phillip Phillips - The Stone: ???? That is the reaction that J-Lo and Steven had on their faces when this was done. I LOL'ed a lot!!! Sorry I just don't get it. He just showed his vocal weakness in this song. I love the song but I did not like Phillip's performance of it. I think that the judges are beginning to see a clear division amongst him and the other contestants.
Phillip Phillips - Fat Bottomed Girls: Well take away the guitar and you get a very very mediocre karaoke singer who has no stage presence whatsoever. Looked so amateurish on the stage. The other 5 are in a different vocal league. I think that he is definitely like a fish out of water.
Joshua Ledet - Crazy Little Thing Called Love: There was not much singing. A lot of screaming and definitely didn't warrant a standing ovation. Fantasia slayed this song while you just tried to imitate her but did not succeed. You are losing me here. It just stopped feeling real for me.
Elise Testone - Bold As Love: Definitely not a good choice for American Idol. I just didn't feel the exact flow of the song. The vocals were okay but I didn't get the singy/spoken parts.
Skylar Laine - Show Must Go On: This is probably my favorite Queen song. It is dramatic with a great melody. I think that you did a commendable job but I just felt like you didn't feel connected to the song entirely.
Hollie Cavanagh - Save Me: Minus a couple of pitch problems towards the end, I will say that this was beautifully sung. I like your vocals! You have definitely impressed me over the last 2 weeks.
Skylar Laine - Tattoos On This Town: I enjoyed it for the most part. You definitely have cornered the country sound. Good vocals but they tend to get a little too nasal. But still sitting middle of the road for me.
Jessica Sanchez - Bohemian Rhapsody: Not the song that I would have picked for you. This is a song that just doesn't convey well unless it is the entire song. Trying to reduce it can be a hindrance to the performance. It was an okay vocal not your best. I felt like you weren't connected to the song enough.
Elise Testone - I Want It All: This felt authentic. I loved every second of it. This was an awesome performance from you!!! The rock edge and the commanding presence of your voice really made it for me!!! You felt confident and you were assured of yourself!!
Hollie Cavanagh - The Climb: Yes yes and yes. I love that you are totally back with your vocals. The power notes and the vocal tone definitely make your performances magical. Great work. Just pitch perfect.
Jessica Sanchez - Dance With My Father: I am totally against repeating songs within seasons. There are so many out there. But if you repeat a song, you must sing it better than the first. Jessica did just that. Wow I goosebumped upon listening to the first note. I still can't get over the fact that she is 16. The way that she knows how to work her voice is so exquisite. Yes it may be similar to Beyonce but Jessica has some very different nuances. What I would pay to hear a Beyonce/Jessica duet!!!
Joshua Ledet - Ready For Love: Not only do I love this song beyond belief but I am happy that Joshua gave us a subdued performance. This was emotional and sincere. I felt like every note and every vocal decision had MEANING!! Your best performance by a mile.
Well it wasn't a disastrous night. There were a couple of really great performance but also a couple of horrible performances. I believe that Hollie, Jessica, and Joshua gave the best vocals tonight but I just don't see Phillip Phillips going to the B3. Unfortunately, I think that Elise is in danger. I also feel like Skylar is so middle of the road that people may forget to vote for her. Good night although the Queen portion could have been a lot better!!
