American Idol 15: The Last Audition Show Ever

THE VERY LAST AUDITION EPISODE EVER....wow it is kind of hitting me right in the feels. Even though it has had it's ups and downs, American Idol shaped a generation of singers. 

In case you haven't checked out my blog before, here is how I write about the audition episodes:

THE GOOD - obviously the contestants that blow me away or that have a lot of potential for growth in the season and get through to the next round

THE BAD - horrible singing and don't get through to the next round

THE WHY NOT - IMO, great singing and potential but don't go through to the next round

THE WHY - Not my cup of tea but somehow made it to the next round

Let's get started


THE GOOD

Jessica Cabral - She is SO READY!! I could listen to her all day! The tone was so mature and beautiful. Reminded me of Erika Van Pelt. 

Brian Dale Brown - Nice!!! I think that I am more excited that after 10 years of auditioning, he finally got his shot. Very nice voice. Maybe too much but I know that he can reign it in. 

Melany Huber - She got my first cry of the season. Her vocals were so emotionally connected. Perfect song to showcase her vocals. I just loved everything about her audition. 

Caroline Byrne - Nice vocals

Bianca Espinal - Cute vocals. I think that she can grow in the competition. 

Chyna Sherrod - Wow. The softness of her vocals really grabbed me. She had an India Arie vibe to her that I LOVE!!!!

Kacye Haynes - I liked the tone. He had a connection there that I have not seen in most of the contestants this season. 

Colette Lush - Super nice vocals!!! Sang girl!

Avalon Young - Something very refreshing and soothing about her. She knows her voice very well. 

Usen Isong - Yep. He did what he absolutely needed to do. Nice tone with well placed embellishments. 

Jaci Butler - Lovely voice. Excited to see where she can go with this competition. 

Stephany Negrete - I like her unique voice but I hope that she really finds herself as an artist. 

Manny Torres - Yes yes yes! I love everything about him from look to attitude to vocals. I expect a WHOLE LOT from him. 


THE BAD

Cody Ostrenga - Well you can't do everything. Stick to horseriding, shooting, and belly dancing. No singing for you. 


THE WHY NOT

Gina Naomi Baez - I liked her style. Yes, she could use some work but I am sure that she could have 

Justin Sullivan - He had a pretty nice voice that expressed emotion. They could obviously see how much this show meant to him. 


THE WHY

Rachel Karryn - I didn't get enough of her to really want to hear more from her. 

Lillian Glanton - I think that if you sang an original, you should be able to really connect to it. I didn't feel anything and I don't think that your voice is grounded enough. 

Zach Person - Yea I was not feeling his vocals at all. His guitar work was brilliant but his vocals did not match at all. Runs were sloppy and vocals were unsettled. 

Well. That's it. The last audition show ever for American Idol. As Michelle Marie said "This Is Crazy!!!"

Until next time......

I agree with most of your critique. I have a bias for hearing some live though. We loved Zach.
