American Idol 15: Group Rounds

The infamous group rounds!!! Here is where my AI journey ended in Season 3. It is tiresome. It can be frustrating. Let's see how the last season played out!

Wow soooooooo much drama from the jump. Really Poh?????? How do you just give up and leave in the middle of this??? It is the last season!!!! Why not just give it a go???

La'Porsha is my favorite so far. That takes a lot to just up and join another group.

Morning rehearsal seemed to be absolutely horrible. I am hoping that they can pull it together.

Kory/Kelsie/Jenna/Jordan
FANTASTIC!!! Each one showed their own unique style and strengths. Harmonies and ad libs were on point. All 4 should easily go through!

Jenn/Sara/Lynnzee/Bri
Seemed a little unsure but pulled it off. I would send Bri home. She seemed the most unsure to me.

Amelia/Tristan/Lee/Avalon/Jeneve
They all seemed to shine in their groups. No one was horrible. I am still not sold on Jeneve.

Chyna/Terrian
Those harmonies!!! Get it!

Trent
Crazy that he has to perform by himself. It was good but his facial expressions and mannerisms just rub me the wrong way.

Michelle/Lindsey/Ashley
Yea they shouldn't had waited so long to pick their song. I totally agree with Michelle. Vocally, they all sounded great. Hey Lindsey.....don't be like that though. Geez.

Elvie 
Not good enough for me. I would have sent him home.

Ashley
She seemed too nervous and unsure.

Mackenzie
Nice vocals. I think that he committed all the way.

Cameron
Wasn't enough for me. Vocally needs more time.

Dalton/Anatalia/Kassy
It seemed a little disjointed. Maybe clipped notes. Hmmmmm I would have sent them all home. They didn't really give it to me like I wanted. I wanted more fire and finesse.

Sonika/Stephany/Andrew
They SANG for me! I would take all of them through. Dude, Andrew was no joke with that upper register!!

Kylle/Kacye/Jon/Marcio
I was entertained but not sold on all of them vocally. Uptown Funk is not a song that should be used to showcase vocals.

Joy/Daniel/Lindita
They were definitely more personality than vocals. Lindita did too much IMO. I don't know why they let Daniel go.

Eliz/Gianna/Dana
Eliz...girl..over you and your cockiness. Whoa...this is a trainwreck from start to finish. All of them would have went home.

Alesana/Jessica/Olivia/Joe
Olivia and Jessica sold it for me. The guys came off as too lackluster. I would keep the girls but get rid of the guys.

CJ/Jess/Jessica/Zach
Nice sound to their group and they seemed like a legitimate group. I would have sent them all through.

Thomas/Joey/Bryson/Thomas
I was totally bored by this. No one cared. I would have sent them all home except for Thomas Stringfellow. At least, he moved.

Manny/Malie/Christian
I felt like they meant each and every word that they sang. Harmonies were on point. Definitely one of my favorites.

Laurel/Marshall/Drew/John
Whew....words. Words were nowhere. I couldn't even get into it. I would send all of them home unfortunately.

Tonie/La'Porsha/Marlena
They sounded so great together! I don't know how Marlena totally forgot the lyrics when the other two sang it before her. Their choreo and staging was great. I loved it.

In about a week, we go live!!! That will be the tell all. I hope that these contestants really bring it!!!

Until next time.....

AMERICAN IDOL 12: VEGAS GIRLS WEEK 1

This is how they should have been doing it from the start. I love that we get to hear the contestants before the voting rounds! Please do this every season (if it is still on). Lets start with our girls. I really feel like a female can win this year. We have so many amazing choices from all genres!!! My ranking goes from least to greatest: Kamaria Ousley - Mr. Know It All: Just horrible. Horrible song choice and you were under pitch the entire time. Crash and burn for realz!!! I really wish that you had picked something different since you name dropped like crazy during your interview. Jenny Beth Willis - Heaven, Heartache, and the Power of Love: Well it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. I had never heard this song before. I felt like it was not the right song choice for this competition and especially being the first one out of the gate. For some reason, it came off very talent show-ish. Good voice but horrible song choice. Isabelle - God Bless The Child: I didn't lo...

The Voice 10: Top 10

My apologies for the tardiness of this post. Busy life on the road with Ball In The House. Anyway, here are my thoughts about our Top 10. As always, I will rank the performances from least favorite to favorite. Daniel Passino  - I Don't Want To Miss A Thing : Really??? This song??? If you were going to do something completely different, I would have been on board. Such a bad bar karaoke performance. I am not a fan of your vocal tone with this song. When you went to your falsetto, it was a big ole' ball of NOPE. You didn't even prep for it. Your runs were sloppy and out of tune. Cringe worthy during the latter part of the performance. Just no! Paxton Ingram - It's All Coming Back To Me : Something about his tone really bothers. It is too whiney and immature. Especially on songs like this. It just doesn't sound mature enough to tackle a song like this. It was just "meh" to me. Nothing really sparkled but it didn't tank. Nick Hagelin - I Can't H...

Family Profile #3: My Oldest Brother (1 of 8)

Reference Name: Vietnam Date Of Birth: 6/23/58 Favorite Memory: Spending the night at his house after I had graduated from college to talk about life and what to expect. My oldest brother was not really there when I was growing up. I don't know a whole lot about him but I do know that he served in the Vietnam war. There were moments where I believed that he was crazy. He was a little violent when I was in high school. I thought that the war may have something to do with that issue. He married a woman from Africa. I never really liked her. She seemed like she only wanted him for the easy passage into the US. In about a year, they got divorced. They do share a child together. The child, who will call Viet Baby, has not been around me much. When we are together, she seems so smart and much like an adult. She is only 10. Well beyond her years in intelligence. Now back to my brother, he has become a lot more settled since the divorce. He is almost 50 years old and I want nothing b...
