Here's one of the longer ones:

"ALLISON IRAHETA 16 -years old: “Don’t Speak” by - No Doubt

Strengths: Allison - I loved hearing the sustaining elements of your voice in this slower number. Wonderfully done. You passionately delivered this number to perfection. Love the raspy nuances in your voice - nice contrast to your pure vocals.

Your performing skills are exceptionally strong - you pour every ounce of energy into your performances. You are such a passionate artist!

Oh my - your hair! Oh well, you’re a rocker chick, right? Enjoy! Good work, Allison!

Critique: Allison-you were better this week in terms of your technical skills. Slower numbers always coerce a singer to do their technical homework and I feel that you definitely did so! However, you still tend to punch out those vocals and, because of this, we lose the true beauty and power of your voice.

And I am concerned that the raspiness is evidence of poorly ingrained technical skills. And, I know you have a fabulous voice teacher -so my questions is - are you listening to him? If not, you should be. You need to protect your voice - it is a precious, unique commodity."
