American Idol 15: Hollywood Solo Rounds
Howdy! This is where they show if they are ready. I am ready for it! I will writing about each contestant and giving them a YES or a NO.
Stephany Negrete - Right song choice for your voice! It added a different texture to the song. Powerhouse vocals. YES
Thomas Stringfellow - Lots of cracks. Wrong song choice IMO. NO
Avalon Young - Another horrible song choice for her voice. I think that she could have picked a better song for her. YES
Olivia Rox - I liked the original song. Bold move but it worked in her. YES
John Wayne Schultz - I dig his personality. I think that there is a disconnect when he sings for some reason. His voice is pretty good. YES
Mackenzie Bourg - Yea I felt this! I would buy a song from him. Wow I was mesmerized. YES
Shelbie Z - She delivered. Her vibrato got a little carried away at times. YES
Kory Wheeler - Nothing about him is exciting. NO
James VIII - 10 points off for the name lol. I feel like he is limited in his vocals. NO
Tristan McIntosh - Very polished. I want her to let her guard down a lot more. YES
Sonika Vaid - I liked the change up to the melody. Her vocals are so clean. Now I want to believe that she wants this. YES
Lee Jean - Pretty good vocals. It took a minute for me to get into the rhythm of it all. I just want to see more of a mature performance. YES
Sara Sturm - Her tone is gorgeous. There is a longing in her vocals that I totally dig! She doesn't seem afraid to take risk. YES
Jenn Blosil - Something so real about her performances. I am feeling her. YES
Emily Brooke - Much better than previous performances. She still needs to gain better vocal control. YES
Malie Delgado - Oh this is heartbreaking. She gave her best effort and she gets bonus points for giving up her song choice. Even though she was sick, she gave a great performance. YES
Mionne Destiny - She needs to step out of herself more. NO
Jessica Cabral - Come on here!!! SHE SANG! If this is her at 50%, I can't wait for her at 100%. THAT TONE!!!! YES
Joshua Wicker - Wrong song choice. He was too emotional and manic. NO
CJ Johnson - Nothing super special about him. I don't know if that was his best. NO
Jeneve Rose Mitchell - She needs to get more vocal control. She is not ready for this. NO
Dalton Rapattoni - I loved what he said about comfort. One of my favorite things to live by. I questioned the song choice a lot. I felt like he could have picked a better song for this round. His vowels weren't consistent. NO
I have got say that being an American Idol judge would be a dream job! Being a contestant, not so much lol. The room situation would drive me INSANE!
So sad to see some of the people in Room 2 go. But the show must go on! I cried when the two rooms saw each other!!! AHHHHH so much emotion!
Until next time......
