New American Idol thread

<p>I’ve now seen Adam’s performances and have to agree with those who say it was over the top musical theater. The guy definitely has a great range and voice, but a song like “Satisfaction” is not meant to be so choreographed and overwrought.</p>

<p>We’re another MT family that’s wild about Adam. What an amazing talent. His vocal range is absolutely incredible. His rendition of “Is Anybody Listening?” in The Ten Commandments (on YouTube) gives me goosebumps every time I hear it (be sure to listen to the very end.)</p>

<p>Von did well. He sounded a lot better than he did during Hollywood week. He also toned down the weird facial expressions and “screaming” that were present in his previous tries.</p>

I JUST turned on Idol when the judges discussed his performance. What did he sing?</p>

<p>You’re All I Need to Get By. And he sang it pretty well.</p>

<p>“You’re All I Need To Get By” by Marvin Gaye</p>

<p>Love this girl, especially on the chorus.</p>

<p>Well, the judges didn’t agree wtih me, huh? I thought she was great for a 17yo, but didn’t realize she’d sung that before. Bad idea.</p>

<p>Oh that Alex. He tried to be cool but he so wasn’t. LOL Good try but not good.</p>

<p>That was really odd. I thought he was channeling Norman Gentle.</p>

<p>Why would this girl choose this key - I think she knows she really messed up.</p>

<p>I feel really bad for her. It was terrible.</p>

<p>Arianna? There was something there under the mess, but not enough to rescue I don’t think. A pitty.</p>

<p>Ju’not was very good. I really never liked that song (and still don’t) but he sang it very well.</p>

<p>Arianna can sing - she has a strong belt there, but she was all over the place at the beginning - terrible transitions up and down and off key.</p>

<p>I love Hey, There, Delilah and really liked his rendition.</p>

<p>That Abba song was a disaster. Tracy Chapman song was bad, too. And Meatloaf was odd, too.</p>

<p>“We’re another MT family that’s wild about Adam. What an amazing talent. His vocal range is absolutely incredible. His rendition of “Is Anybody Listening?” in The Ten Commandments (on YouTube) gives me goosebumps every time I hear it (be sure to listen to the very end.)”</p>

<p>WOW! I just watched it on YouTube. Gorgeous performance.</p>

<p>What’s with everyone singing off key tonight. The guy who sang “Mandolin Rain” was off and this girl is hopelessly lost. I guess she thinks if Taylor Swift can make a fortune by singing off key, she can too.</p>

<p>Oh my goodness, Kendall was awful. I couldn’t wait for the song to end.</p>

<p>I liked Jorge.</p>
