There were some amazing performances....just stand out!!!
I hope they never do the platinum ticket again. Some many of the other singers made their two platinum ticket holder sound very ordinary.
I also hoped that they would stop with the four judges' choices to join the 10 voted in contestants. Those four are almost always immediately voted off.

Leah shocked me....that she would take the risk of doing (and looking ) something so different than what she has being doing....she was like a different person. She however, was amazing.
Does anybody know how much time elapsed between Hawaii and Sunday's performance? Nicolina looked very different so it could not have been just a week or two.

I think Leah’s performance will go down as an iconic American Idol “moment”.
I read they had Nicolina in double Spanx and she could barely sit down. She was my favorite going into last night but she stumbled, to my mind.
Both Leah and Fritz brought me to tears.

This week I was all about Leah, Fitz, Nic, and Christian with a bit of Tristan on the side and some Mike Parker for a midnight snack.
Ava was good, loved seeing me some Chad Smith, as was Sage. I do however wish sometimes they would take Paula's cup away from Lionel... WTH did "that took me as close to 1968 as I could get" (or whatever it was he said) mean???? Rhiannon is a 1975 song. Emyerson was also really good.
When someone who sounds remotely country, or is drunk, sings Friends in Low Places they never sound bad. So props to Dan for picking a song that you can't sound bad on.
I don't think anyone was really bad this week, Cameron was even good, and had a good song to sing too. I took his stage walking to be more of a tribute to Ozzy (as he walks the stage VERY much like that) rather than his pent up energy. He does have a voice, but he needs to find a way to tone it down.
I have to wonder who would have left in group 2 if Kennedi was still in the comp.. I had a feeling Sir Blake would be going, and I feel Cameeron would have also gone.

Too many country singers for my taste but my favorites are still in so I’m ok. The rest of the season is going to go quick - two more weeks? Three? If it pares down to all country I’ll just quit. Not my thing.

Again, I hope they learned from this year and do not do the platinum ticket again... a mistake similar to bringing back a contestant from the previous season last year.
I would like American to vote for the top 14 and NOT do the judges' choices. I will be interested to see if the four are among the very first to go home in the upcoming shows.
Whoever is doing the styling has a love for shiny, cheap looking material. There were some seriously ugly outfits.
What was with the camera angles last night? When Ryan introduced every contestant, they used the same side angle shot. They showed him talking straight on to the audience, but we saw him sideways and saw the contestant being brought their equipment by 4 workers. I laughed every time they did that shot as the union contract must have specified that 4 men were needed even though a couple of them seemed to carry and do nothing.

I was kinda surprised that both Dan and Noah made it into the top 10 with America alone voting. Both are solid, likeable, and decently talented but I honestly think Mike is far more talented than both of them put together. This one was a good call for Luke to save.. but still you have 4 people splitting the country music fan base.
I was also surprised that Allegra was saved over someone like Sage.
I hate how quickly this show moves now, you go from 24 to 20 to 14 in like 10 days... that is insane to me. This format really is setting up the true newbie like a Cameron (for example in 2 different respects) or Mike Parker to fail. This format will never allow them to recover from a bad week or build a fan base. Contestants like HunterGirl (who I DO like, pitch issues aside. It is country music after all and off pitch is a component but come on HunterGirl is an AIM handle, not a stage name of a true artist) have an already built in base of fans, she has an EP out and has been paying dues by playing live for a decent amount of time. Thank goodness Nicolina has been nearly spot on each week or the Canadian (also like Cameron here) has no hometown fan base numbers in their voting as outside the US you cannot vote.
In the end I am ok with everyone else, maybe other than Sage, leaving this week. I think Jay could have gone as well, but they were not going to let one of the remaining 3 Plat Tix holders go this soon, judges ego (read as: producers ego) would not allow it. Jay and Jacob will (and should if they want it) have wonderful careers on Broadway where Jacob's over use of all his vocal gymnastics and Jay's sometimes over the top delivery will be right at home.
I am am hoping for a Leah, Nicolina, Fritz, Christian final 4. But we shall see.

I agree, Firewoman, Allegra as one of their saves was surprising. I also didn't need Dan in the finals, but I guess I understand why some might vote for him. Your point about the fan bases is right on, but I sure hope those without much exposure can somehow do well enough to earn them some great fans. The top 14 sure has some great singers! There are so many I like: Fritz, Nicolina, Tristen, Mike, Christian..... Guess I'll have to vote like crazy in the upcoming weeks!!  |
