Week 2 AI – Girls

Okay, I admit it. I am not sure I REALLY want to be bothered doing this. I wasn’t going to do it. I’m not sure I care enough. I even told Yoshi I wasn’t going to do it. But – I did the boys yesterday. So – eh. Next week, I think I’ll just blog the results. For tonight – we get into the girls. It’s going to be short tonight. Unless I feel strongly. I’m just not feelin’ it, dawg.

Don’t look, Daniel! Don’t look! (;
Yoshi, here’s the show. (;

Carly Smithson – Crazy On You
Not bad. I like it. She sounds better this week than last, I think. I like this song on her. Judges?
Randy: Picked a rocker. It was good towards the end. Beginning was rough. A’ight.
Paula: Great to see you are healthy. Fine singer to sing those big notes. Amazing job.
Simon: Much better performance. Panting! You’ve not chosen the right song yet. Other girls can’t touch you vocally. Girl to beat.

Syesha Mercado – Me and Mr. Jones
I like it okay. I like it better than Carly. Hrmm. But just this week. I’m not that fond of – her. I’m not sure why. (I hate the end. That was just unnecessary. Get off the stage, bitch.) Judges?
Randy: Not a great song choice. Pick stuff where you can use what you got. A’ight.
Paula: Fall off pitch when you go into the softer notes. Like the interpretation. Like it.
Simon: Whoopee. Indulgent. Silly thing to have done. Put off. Not a song for your voice. Not a clever choice.

Brooke White – You’re So Vain
Ohhhh, I like this song so much. She’s doing a decent job with it, too. (She plays guitar?! O_o) Like it better than both of the previous girls. Yup. Judges?
Randy: Great song choice. Liked it. Was this about someone at the judges table?
Paula: Perfect song choice for you. Like what you did. Everyone was diggin’ it.
Simon: I absolutely loved it. (Wow!) Perfect song for you. Connected. Sang well. Didn’t sound old fashioned.

Ramiele Malubay – Don’t Leave Me This Way
I don’t like this at all. Ah, that’s why. Disco. (Hear that beat? Disco. Totally.) Meh. I guess she’s doing okay with it. I mean, the girl can sing. I just – don’t like the song itself. Ergh. Judges?
Randy: Really rough for me. Okay for me. Song choice is weird. Wasn’t my favorite choice for you. Keepin’ it real!
Paula: One to beat. Vocals are truly amazing. You didn’t get to perform your magic. (She didn’t like it.)
Simon: Much, much better last week. More personality. Not going to remember this performance so well. Wasn’t one of your best.

Kristi Lee Cook – You’re No Good
Whoops. I was channel surfing and missed the beginning of the song. Damn. I’m so sad. What I’ve heard – it’s a’ight. Just – a’ight. I’m not wowed. Make her go home. (I’m not sure they really liked it. They just said it was better and that the song choice was good. Hrmm.) Judges?
Randy: 100% improvement over last week. No breakout moments. Better song choice.
Paula: You’re back. Good to hear you. Good song choice for you.
Simon: Huge improvement. I don’t know what type of singer you really are. Got potential.

(Seriously? Enough with the commercials after every damn song. Ugh.)

Amanda Overmyer – Carry On Wayward Son
She’s got a really gravelly voice. I’m not sure I dig it. What is with that HAIR?! O_o It’s all – poofy. Like a bad wig! Right. The singing. I was distracted. It’s – a’ight. I mean, yeah. A’ight. It’s not exciting. It’s not really good. It’s just – a’ight. (The end, again, was horrirfic. Ugh.) Judges?
Randy: Wasn’t the right song choice for you. Too many instrumental breaks for a singer. Verses were pitchy.
Paula: Got some moves. Do what fits right. This was not the right song for you.
Simon: Everything felt contrived. Clothes to hair to song. None of it felt real. Couldn’t wait for it to finish. Didn’t get that.

Alaina Whitacker – Hopelessly Devoted to You
Hrmmm. Not – bad. I love this song. (I’m just sappy like that.) I’m trying not to dig it just for the sake of the song. (; But – she is doing a good job with it. I think she picked a good song for herself. I hate the dress. But – I like her with this song. Yeah. Judges?
Randy: Not the right song for you. Verses were pitchy. Wasn’t my favorite for you.
Paula: I think you did a real good job. Wasn’t as bad as Randy says.
Simon: I like you. It’s as if your grandmother prepared you for this audition – hair, dress, song. Pageanty. One of the dark horses. Make yourself relevant.

Alexandrea Lushington – If You Leave Me Now
I don’t like her. I don’t know why. But – just not liking her. Meh. She’s a’ight, I guess. A’ight. I’m not digging the song. And it just seems – bland. Completely bland. Judges?
Randy: So safe. Challenge yourself. Boring choice. (So TRUE, Randy. So True.)
Paula: You let go and you stretched it. You are relevant. Let yourself be.
Simon: You are struggling. Song is absolutely stuck in its time period. You were inconsistent with the song. You looked uncomfortable with the song. It was boring.

Kady Malloy – Magic Man
What the hell is she singing? I can’t hear the lyrics. What the heck. Srsly. (Hey, it’s KG over for a visit again!) I could not understand her at all. Enunciate, woman. Eh. Not even a’ight. I hated it. >__<
Randy: Interesting song choices tonight. Never found the pitch.
Paula: When you powered, you sounded great. On the low notes, you lost a little bit. Let go.
Simon: I’m frustrated. What you do on film is very good. On stage, there isn’t anything. Wrong song. 1 million percent.

Asia’h Epperson – All By Myself
It started out a’ight, I suppose. Oh, she flubbed the chorus! All b-vb- by myself! XD She’s really tentative with this song. It’s screwing her up – a lot. Ow. That hurt. Ugh. Painful. I don’t like it. I predict the word pitchy will come up. But – yeah. Tentative and pitchy. That’s my thoughts. Judges?
Randy: Difficult song. Good job with it. (No pitchy? It was! Dammit, it was! >__< )
Paula: Problems in the low parts. (there it is! Randy in the side, pitchy!)
Simon: One of the diva songs of all times. You have to be one heck of a singer to pull it off. Unfortunately, you are not. Song was too big for you. Silly decision.

Okay. The girls were – a’ight. I suppose. They picked some boring songs. Ugh. The boys were better. If the girls don’t pick this up, one of the guys is going to win – again. (;

Tomorrow – stream of consciousness blogging for the results show! See you then. (=
