Bland and boring. Most of that, her choice of song.

eta: The Amy chick, not Amanda (I haven't heard her, yet.)

eta2: Ha! Simon agrees with me.

Because books.

Amy was not great, no. And "Where the Boys Are" needs to be rocked up, or otherwise updated, otherwise it's just pure syrup.

Oh, I liked that one. Brooke's got some chops.

Alex owned the stage, rocked the outfit, on pitch the whole way, but the song was just a little out of her reach. She doesn't have the grit in her voice for that song. I think it's one that's better done in a man's voice.

I loved it, but I do agree that "Spinning Wheel" is always better with a little growl.

Pretty voice, but nothing that stood out for me. It seemed like a singing lesson, not a performance.

Now, Asia'h had the voice for that song. Started out a little hard to understand, but really rocked it out.

Good voice, less than stellar arrangement.

Straight out of the gate with that one! I'm impressed.
