THE FULL MONTY CHRONICLES

I must admit, I was hoping that this would happen. These ladies deserved one more week to show their chops. Kree Harrison - Stormy Weather: This is the first time that I felt like you were an amateur. It just seemed out of sync and never grounded. Some of the top notes seemed like you struggled. There was no connection to the song. It was just okay. Amber Holcomb - My Funny Valentine: I am not a big fan of recycling songs within a season. I preferred the first time better. This time seemed kind of strained and lackluster to me. Angie Miller - Someone To Watch Over Me: There was no connection there. It was beautiful but just didn't give me the emotional drive that I needed. The arrangement was so weird and too heavy for a song like this. Not your fault but it didn't help your cause. Angie Miller - Diamonds: OMG the beginning was breath taking and then something happened. It got shrill and out of sorts. You lost the original connection to it by trying to add embellishment...

First I must apologize for the lack of post. I was in tech week for a production of Ragtime and I am finally finding time to write. The theme is so lackluster. One Hit Wonder's and Contestant's Choice.......UGH. Just from the theme alone, you get the feeling that the contestants, the production team, and the judges are just doing this for formality.  Amber Holcomb - MacArthur Park: I dislike this song for some reason. But that not the reason why I didn't like this performance. Amber just didn't have the vocals to deliver the goods especially on the sustained notes. Just wasn't my type of performance. Candice Glover - Emotion: Definitely not your best but that was mostly due to the song choice. This song just stays on one plane and I don't consider it a one hit wonder but it is what it is. It was probably one of your worst. It fell flat and I didn't feel anything behind it.  Kree Harrison - Whiter Shade Of Pale: Nice song choice for you. It was bluesy...
