"Weds Feb 21 Top 12 Girls" |
Keep all your yawns and snores about the top 12 girls on this thread until the West Coast has a chance to fall asleep during the show. I wonder how many votes they lost because people nodded off and didn't wake up in time. Please let everyone who was sure that the boys would be the hot ones after the auditions and Hollywierd rounds be wrong. Also Ix-Nay on the Ig-Say Ics-Pay so should we all stay awake long enough to post our friends on dial up can get the whole thread in something approaching a timely manner. Pig Latin Translator--Don't post your sig pics. It's the year of the pig isn't Pig Latin Mandatory? Anyway. Here are the girls: Alaina Alexander (24) - Currently lives in West Hollywood, CA, and has been singing all her life. Her favorite artist is Mariah Carey. She has been pursuing a career in music but almost gave up her dream until she made it on AMERICAN IDOL. Antonella Barba (20) - From Point Pleasant, NJ, Barba attends Catholic University in Washington, DC, pursuing an architecture degree. She began singing in sixth grade and once toured with the Monmouth Conservatory of Music in England. Melinda Doolittle (29) - Currently lives in Brentwood, TN. Doolittle is a graduate of Belmont University in Nashville and has a bachelor’s degree in Commercial Music. She is a backup singer on stage and in the studio. Stephanie Edwards (19) - Currently lives in Savannah, GA. Edwards sang at the famed Apollo Theater when she appeared on "It's Showtime at the Apollo." She has won every singing contest she has ever entered. Gina Glocksen (22) - Currently lives in Naperville, IL, and works as a dental assistant. Glocksen also performs in a cover band. She tried out for AMERICAN IDOL last season and made it to Day 4 of the Hollywood Round. Leslie Hunt (24) - Currently lives in Chicago, IL. Hunt is a dog walker who is studying to become a dog trainer. She also plays the piano. Lakisha Jones (27) - Grew up in Flint, MI, and began singing at age 5. Gospel is her Jones’ favorite type of music but she has trained formally in classical music. Amy Krebs (22) - Currently lives in Federal Way, WA. Krebs has been singing since she was a small child and attended the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City. She is fluent in German and lived in Germany for three years. Haley Scarnato (24) - Currently lives in San Antonio, TX. Scarnato, who recently became engaged, has been performing as a freelance singer since she was 15 years old and considers Celine Dion her hero. Jordin Sparks (17) - Currently lives in Glendale, AZ. Sparks began singing when she was only 18 months old. She won the "Arizona Idol" contest. Her favorite band is Something Corporate. Sabrina Sloan (27) - Currently lives in Studio City, CA. Sloan attended the Northwestern University music and theater program and has performed across the country with the touring production of "Hairspray."

We only saw a tiny bit of her in Hollywood, and I was intrigued. Her voice sounded interesting. Is it?Yep, I like her voice - nice texture, deeper than you'd expect, good range, nice control. I like her. And she's doing that raspy thing in a way that sounds like it's not going to hurt her. And Randy, yes - Aretha sang that song, but so did Carole King. I didn't have a problem with her giving it a different sound from Aretha. I did, however, see what Simon was talking about too, with the gangliness.

Quite a contrast to the previous Aretha song - much bolder and more lively. Well done although I found some of the facial expressions a bit overdone (furrowing eyebrows). An Idol contender.

Tried to change it up and make it more uptempo, but that seems to take all the longing and emotion out of the song for me. In tune and good tone, but I'm not feeling it.(Can you tell when I can get the song title fast ) Randy: Some good things about it. You got a big old voice, at the end you showed that. I don't know if there is any song to big for you. Paula: You are starting to go there you have that natural talent go for it. Simon: Seen a big change in you, you have got a very good voice. I think if you push yourself you may surprise a few people.

Pretty good, nice finish. I wondered half-way through whether she'd bring the energy she was putting into the song to the crowd and they caught on towards the end. Not sure how well I like her yet (would like to hear more). An obviously talented contender.

I'll give her this, she really gave it a good effort, That said, I didn't like this for her. It was almost a little uncomfortable in the beginning when it seemed like she was really having a hard time controlling the song. I felt like it was running away with her.

LAST EDITED ON 02-21-07 AT 09:12 PM (EST)Don't like this song choice AT ALL. It's too low for her, and she's doing all kinds of funky faces & twisting her placement to sound like Chaka. It's a shame, because it seems like she's got a really good voice. When she wasn't chewing up her tone, she was screaming. Disappointing. Oh Paula, shut up. The notes she hit weren't THAT HIGH. Indulgent, aggressive, unnatural -- Simon stated it very well. I agree with him. ETA: I like that Randy came out & said too urban - that was the trying to hard to sound like Chaka.

Good lord - someone save me from Celine songs. I already don't like her just because of song choice.Two things - breathe, and put your hand down. She's gonna get slammed for singing Celine without having the requisite power...and she's dull. DULL. And smiling like a pageant girl. Ooh, she's standing like a pageant girl too - she's from Texas, I bet she's been in pageants. Buh-bye.

Oooh, Lakisha -- I adore you, and you can surely sing. But no one NO ONE should ever do this song. Granted, you more than pulled it off - but that's a, well, not a good idea. However, lyrically, it's really appropriate. And she's fantastic - she IS in a different league, but I'd put Melinda in there with her. I'm glad Simon corrected to include 3 or 4 people in the 'different league.' (just to continue my rant, watch the film again, and see how the song is supposed to build. Not that Lakisha had the time to build it in her - what, 90 seconds? - but SO many women oversing this song from start to finish.)

LAST EDITED ON 02-21-07 AT 10:14 PM (EST)First I think Simon was dead on balls accurate about everyone...he really does know his stuff and I love him!!!! Okay WOW that was such a treat from yesterday (mostly)
I think we can FF til May and have Lakisha and Melinda in the finals...with Lakisha winning that was tremendous!! My rankings (without looking at anyone's post) 1. Lakisha--THE BEST FIRST PERFORMANCE i think EVAH...it has to be THE BEST SONG CHOICE EVER!!! As soon as she started to sing I started to tingle...the competition is over for me...I have my fave and her name is Lakisha. I'm so happy for her!! 2. Melinda-she is such a nice person and she brought it...she is in a whole other league than everyone else but Lakisha...I really do hope it is her and Lakisha in the final 2. I love her humility. I didn't even know the song but I didn't care...it was an amazing performance!! 3. Stephanie Edwards--She started the show off great and I wrote down before Simon said it that it was far better than any of the guys yesterday. I love her voice and she performed well! 4. Jordan Sparks--I like her...the song was just okay...I hope she goes to F12 and gets to tour!! 5. Gina Gl--I love her but I hate this song....I was expecting something more fun from her but she sang it well and should be back. I'm getting a Kimberly Caldwell vibe from her!! 6. Sabrina Sloan--she was good I thoiught she screamed at times but overall a good performance 7. Haley Scar...okay better than the rest but nothing great 8. Alayna--meh too safe and Simon was right nothing special 9. Leslie Hunt-meh bad song choice Lakisha and Melinda have the pipes to pull off Aretha...Leslie does not 10. Amy Krebs-meh This was a bad song choice and she is forgettable 11. Nicole Tr...Simon was absolutely correct.. when he said that it was indulgent he captured what I was thinking exactly...blech 12. Antonella--I hate that song unless it is sung perfectly and that wasn't even close. I have a feeling that she will be VFTW's pick and be saved that and the pix of her oobies... Should go: Antonella and Nicole Will go: Nicole Amy/Leslie Should win the whole thing: Lakisha Will win the whole thing: Lakisha!

LAST EDITED ON 02-21-07 AT 11:59 PM (EST)Why is this so much easier with the gals than the guys? They're a whole level better, that's why. Idols
1. Melinda: It's easy to see why Randy, Paula and Simon all like her so much. I do, too!
2. Lakisha: Dayyum, she can really, really belt out a song with "the right note". I didn't care much for some of the moves, but wow, what a voice. 3. Stephanie: Ooo wee, love the song, really like her rendition of it. Thumbs up, perfect song to start with.
Contenders
4. Jordan: Pretty good, nice finish, caught on towards the end. An obviously talented contender. 5. Gina: I liked it. Good finish with the right song to suit her. She's going to have a more limited selection of songs to choose from than some of the other contestants. Good chance to make the final several. 6. Sabrina: Quite a contrast - much bolder and more lively. Well done although I found some of the facial expressions a bit overdone. An Idol contender.
Hanging in there
7. Leslie: She'll make it this time, and should heed the advice on song selection. 8. Nicole: Bold, refreshing, a bit daring, but a bit stiff rather than indulgent. Maybe she was trying the kind of thing that the panel and voters are looking for, but she didn't pull it off very well. 9. Haley: This song just didn't do it for me, but I can tell that she can do better. 10. Amy: The performance wasn't memorable, although it was Ok. If she doesn't pick a song that better suits her, she'll disappear.
Pretenders
11. Antonella: Not good technically. Has the looks of an Idol, but the voice? Not likely. 12. Alaina: Nuh uh, I don't see the potential for her to improve either. At this point, I could almost care less about the guys.
