Jessica – I think her voice was fabulous but she didn’t connect emotionally like the judges wanted. I think it was a bad song choice for her at this point.
Skylar – I felt like I was listening to a pro tonight. Reba definitely came to mind. I felt like the middle was weak but she was spot-on emotionally in the beginning and loved the big notes at the end.
Joshua – Why do I feel like this is hokie? He’s a good singer but I just can’t excited over him singing that.
Elise – If any night should be good for Elise, this is it. Felt like she fit just right. The question though is if that is her best, is that our American Idol? For me, no.
Phillip – Wow, for once I wasn’t totally taken by Phillip. I think tonight he didn’t feel effortless. He was having to push too hard.
Hollie – Somehow that sounded like a gospel song to me. And I actually really liked it. The judges were way too harsh if you ask me.
Jessica – Definitely beautiful. She’s like Whitney and Beyonce combined. Great to have that emotional aspect too.
Skylar – The country music lover in me loved that so much. So ready for her to make an album. It’s amazing the strides she’s made just in two months.
Can I just say I love whatever is going on between Joshua and Hollie. They’re so cute.
Joshua – That was just gorgeous. Favorite Joshua performance yet. Soulful, sexy. Gorgeous.
Elise – Gosh, I didn’t like that at all. Was something off key or what? And the speaking thing was weird. That’s gonna get her sent home.
Phillip – This is just not a Phillip night for me. That was just odd for me. The violin was really awesome though.
Hollie – Perfect song choice for her. Now that’s the way she’s going to get herself top 2.
Favorites: Joshua, Hollie and Skylar’s second song. Jessica was good but I don’t know, I just can’t get myself to root for her to win.
In trouble: I think this is going to be Elise’s week to go after that second song
I’m with you all the way. As much as I’m rooting for Phillip, it just wasn’t his night and Hollie finally let go and sung on her second song. Jessica’s second song was amazing but you’re right, there’s something in me that’s not pulling for her to win – I’m likely to buy her album though, kind of weird huh? Maybe it’s that everyone already knows she’s fabulous and she’s going to have an amazing career. And I’m really annoyed with Elise’s clothing choices.
