To Tell the Truth after this week, the American Idol have done some really disappointing selection really. Not that the contestants is not doing their best this year. But there’s really so few that the editor is showing. I’m already weary after this week. Michael Castro didn’t make it. Austin Sisneros either. We hardly see any female contestant that actually did well for the whole Hollywood week. And most of the show showing is some of the quirky or awkward moment or some moment is just overdone. Yesterday we see some good performance, but they are showing much too much of Tatiana and her roller coaster drama, it seems unnecessary. I’m glad bikini girl is off the competition, and some of them that really seems not ready. As for the top 36 I think a lot of them really have to do better. Even disappointed that some of them that have not done any good time in the Hollywood week have got through.
As Expected Adam Lambert got through, he got a voice, but the last performance it’s a bit here and there, really have to take care of the control on the pitch and the volume. Anoop Desai got through too, although he is not the typical good looking guy but his got a unique sound to his singing voice, you won’t hear it in his speaking voice because of the accent but he got something there. Of course we think that Danny Gokey got the best control, but not necessary the best vocal in the crowd, so there’s still some discovery there, it’s a shame that his good friend Jamal did not make it, I kinda love the sound he has. Well, the separation of the two makes a great moment on screen. One big mistake is kicking off Jackie Midkiff and yet retained Jesse Langseth. It’s a big big no no that shows how much better the talent the guys have over he girls.
Well, some other expected to go through one’s is there, like Piano Player Matt Giraud, Lil Rounds, Von Smith, as for the blue collar dudes, I think that is a great plus to the show, as the judges think we don’t know how far they can go they just have to start bringing their innovative and improvisation side to the table, if not as Simon say, it’s just too Bar singer type, but I do like the sound of the oil Rig worker Michael Sarver over the welder Matt Breitzke, he’s got the blues in him. But them both can be safe for the time being as long as people vote for them, unless votefortheworst have a hand on the matter, I think there are quite a few of the lower marks one to go before these 2. Of course Nick “Normund Gentle” Mitchell got through, you think AI would give up the chance of a comedian with a pretty good singing voice go that actually can entertain? I don’t think he can make it to the big final unless he did have some chops in the process that makes him interesting without being funny. And I don’t know if the blind pianist have the real work on either because without his piano he is a bit off, and I think he’d gotta do much better to get through with just piano everytime. Because by the time week 12 come, it’d be nothing fresh anymore. As for Joanna Pacitti this second chance really is a big gift, for she really flop it in the Hollywood week not a single song I think she sang right. In tonight “sing-off” the only one I agree on is just Alex Wagner-Trugman and Cody Shelton, at least they looks like the one deserve to be in that need to fight for it. Some of the sing-off I’m not even interested because both sound so bad.
There are come names that actually we have not notice before there, they maybe the wild card in the crowd, Stevie Wright, Ricky Braddy, Scott MacIntyre, a few of our audition fave that have not been mention before or even have any footage of Hollywood week, like Kris Allen, Kai Kalama, Jorge Nunez-Mendez, Brent Keith. To tell the truth, you think I’m bias? Check out all the new release and see how many of the female contestant in the 36 is ever mentioned before and you’ll know I’m not. They just didn’t show enough, I like some of the rocker one and some of the jazzy soulful one, but the show time for them didn’t even let me have the chance to read their name properly. So that’s just my take on the whole thing. Unless there’s something the producer is hiding if not they’re just not interesting enough to put on. Which means the contestants have gotta do much better, show more ability and variety in the live show. Cause when they are up there, there’s no hiding from the audience, it’s revealed right away whether you are good or not.
Just talking about the new format is making me tired here. From now onwards, live audiences will be able to vote for their favorite, I’m sure unlike last year, there are not much decision made yet and with that there will be far lesser viewer to the first live show. 36 contestants will be divided into 3 groups of 12 and compete like always instead of the 2 groups of 12 compete between the sexes, it will be a mix of gender, 3 with the most votes on each group will go on to the next round to be 9 among the final 12 and the last 3 will be chosen by judges in a wild card round and makes the 12. So this time the result might be announce who is the winner instead of who is the loser. Actually if you look at it, it’s 3 round kicking off 27 and the 27 will compete for another one or 2 rounds as judges choice. Could be fun, we’ll see.
