Brooke is way too Up With People for me. All the swirly-girly-hair swooshing last week made me roll my eyes.
I still love my girl Ramiele, but she felt way too mannered tonight.
Amanda looks better with the softer makeup, less like she'd cut a bitch for giving her the wrong judgment, but everything about that performance? Was just wrong.
I also find Kristy's vocals mediocre at best and her squats and wide-legged stances, to borrow a Simon phrase, "ghastly."
But a lot of my opinions are different from the judges' this year, for some reason.
I think Ramielle has actually got one of the better voices out there, she just needs to find the right songs.
Dude, Alaina is also butchering "Hopelessly Devoted to You." Girls, stop wrecking songs I like!
Seriously: Can anyone really prove that Kristy, Alaina and Kady actually are different people?
I know! I wouldn't know which one was which if they didn't put their names up on the screen.
Somebody, please give this girl a clothes makeover. Please, my eyes!
I am watching AI! And - they are not good. I missed the first one or two - but what is with all the matchy blonde bluesy-country belters? Also, the mix is really weird. Sometimes the backup singers are louder than the main person.
I think their sound people suck. They need to get some professionals.
It wouldn't hurt,either, if the girls would quit picking songs that require having a lower end of the scale to sing with than what they have.
Now, I didn't "get" Carly until tonight's performance. I gave her extra props because you have to have some balls, IMO, to take on Ann Wilson.
This? Would be a balls-free performance. Just saying.
On the plus side? Even more likely we'll have one fewer interchangeable blond next week!
AI: I'm surprised that they liked Brooke. She was way too happy while singing ''You're So Vain''. That song need some venom.
Yes, thank you. It felt mimicked. Brooke really rubs me the wrong way anyway, and just doing a "karaoke" version of the song bugs.
