American Idol 12: Top 40 - Boys Group 1

Charlie Askew
Rocket Man
this kid is only here because of his big personality, when it comes down to this performance it was just terrible. the beginning was actually quite nice but after that it just sounds like he was in pain literally. How he made it through is beyond me.
3/10


Jimmy Smith
Raining On Sunday
A Keith Urban song, what a kiss ass haha, i really liked jimmy in his audition and in Hollywood week but this was such a let down. He sang well but the song just didnt go anywhere i was dam near half a sleep. Also he looked like he'd been tanning all day, weird look.
3.5/10


Elijah Liu
Talking To The Moon
I was also excited about Elijah since i have seen some of his YouTube covers, but wow this was just a bad vocal. He picked a current song and he did look like a pop star, and he started off sounding nice but the rest of it was a vocal train wreck. And jeez i didn't expect him too sound even younger than Justin beiber,
4/10


Chris Watson
Sittin On The Dock Of The Bay
I never even heard this guy sing before so i was curious, and his look in very umm, unique haha but he picked such an old overdone song that i just didn't care for this performance. I dont think he sounded good at all, not much to say about this one.
4/10


Kevin Harris
Everything I Do
This guy looks like hes about 30 years old so no way was he going through no matter what he did. He picked such a cheesy song and the whole performance was just boring. He does sing good though he can hit those high notes but hes nothing special.
5/10


JDA
Rumor Has It
Usually i would hate this performance but with a night filled with dull guy contestants, this was actually pretty  entertaining! the whole thing was a mess in my opinion but atleast he woke me up haha. I honestly just couldn't stand looking at a glittery face with a mustache,  just weird.
6/10


Johnny Keyser
I Wont Give Up
What the hell happened to johnny! last season he was a bit cocky but atleast he sang great, this season he seemed to calm it down a bit but wow he was just very underwhelming. This was a nice song but he didn't take it anywhere and the background singers overpowered his voice. i still would have chosen him over charlie though.
6.5/10


Paul Jolley
Tonight Im Gonna Cry
I honestly don't care at all for Paul but I had to face the fact that he sang better than most of the guys that night. Not to say he was great because i was still bored and he just looked like He was trying to hard to please the judges. I really don't know what to think of Paul right now.
6.5/10


Curtis Finch Jr
Superstar
Its no secret that Curtis has one of the best, over the top voices this year, and his rendition of superstar was technically great. But man i cant stand Curtis and his smug, arrogance. And America doesn't like that either so theres no chance of him winning. Also i feel like his performance was way too practiced, he knows what he is going to do, how he is going to do it, and when he is going to do it.
7/10


Devin Velez
Listen
I brave choice by Devin and i might say he did sing it pretty well, i didn't even mind him singing in Spanish i thought it made him stand out. My only problem is that he seems a little too clay aiken-ish. But still best of the night.

American Idol 12: Top 40 - Girls Group 2

Zoanette Johnson
Circle Of Life
How she made it this far is beyond me, but we will be seeing her more often since she made it through with her crazy performance that could have done well on a lion king Broadway show, but her voice is not near any of the other girls it was a mess. But people love her
4/10


Melinda Ademi
Nobodys Perfect
I was excited about Melinda but this performance was just bad! her look was awful her moves were weird and her voice sounded like she was gasping for air. very disappointing.
4/10


Cristabel Clack
No One
I really like Cristabel's voice but this song choice was just horrible, she didn't sound bad that bad and it started off sounding well but it completely fell apart, and now shes gone. too bad.
5/10


Janelle Arthur
Just A Kiss
Wow what a let down, Janelle hasn't been pimped as much as someone like Lauren Alaina but she is still considered a front runner, but her vocal was so underwhelming, she has a nice voice but this song was just not the best song choice, She went through and honestly i think she has a good chance if she sings the right songs.
6/10


Aubrey Cleland
Sweet Dreams
This girl came out of no where and i gotta say i really like her haha. I don't think it was the right song choice because Jessica Sanchez killed this song last year, and Aubrey's version wasn't as good. But she is very pretty and has a big voice. Possible upset.
7/10


Breanna Steer
Bust Your Windows
I was least excited about seeing her perform but dang she was really good haha. i like her r&b voice and i think her stage presence is very fierce. i was surprised by her. But not completely sold.
7.5/10

Rachele Hale
Nothing But The Water
I loved this performance and i love Rachele, i don see how she didn't make it. She performs like a pro and is a legit country star. But unfortunately Janelle made it over her so boohoo.
7.5/10



Jett Hermano
Only Girl
I loved how she took a who cares Rhianna song and made it into a beautiful song with her piano. Her tone is lovely and she hands down should have made it, but i guess the judges weren't so thrilled about her as i was,
8/10


Candice Glover
Natural Woman
Dont really like the song choice because no one can sing it as good as Kelly clarkson did haha, but Candice did a very very stellar job, her voice is just so damn good. she is still a front runner but she needs to pick better songs.
8/10


Juliana Chahayed
Skyscraper
So pissed that she didn't make it through, Juliana's voice is so raw and yes she needs more time but this performance was magical! Her tone and phrasing was so unique and the fact that she played the guitar just made it that much better, She better come back next year.

American Idol 12: Top 40 - Girls Group 1

Kamaria Ousley
Mr Know It All
Beautiful girl, and she did good in hollywood week. But wow this was the worst performance Ive heard all year. First of all why did she choose a song that doesn't fit her voice and style at all, second of all her everything was just way off. I felt pretty bad for her.
3/10




Brandy Hotard
I Dont Love You Anymore
I never really cared for brandy at all, but she does have a good big voice and she sang well but it was so damn boring and very miss America. she had no emotion at all, plus with all the country voices this year, i wasn't surprised when she got the boot.
4/10



Shubha Vedula
Born This way
Horrible song choice first of all, we have seen her sing the big diva songs and i guess she wanted to show a different side of her but this was just painful. It sounded ok at the piano but when she started moving and dancing around she just looked ridiculous and sounded a hot mess.
4/10



Jenny Beth Willis
Heaven, Heartache, And The Power Of Love
Who the heck is this girl? haha seriously no screen time and she was the first to go, we already knew she wouldn't make it through poor thing. She was dressed like a ballerina cowgirl and her performance was just forgettable, that's all i have to say about that.
4/10



Tenna Torres
Soulmate
what was with her hair, it was hideous! haha wow she looked so old. her performance wasnt bad but it was pretty boring, and her tone sounds like the damn chipmunks! i don't like her voice and she shouldn't have made it this far but eh her group was pretty weak so she made it through.
5/10



Isabelle
God Bless The Child
Very bad song choice, its been over done and its just such an old song. Her vocal was pretty good but she just didn't connect with the song. I would have traded her for tenna.
5.5/10



Adriana Latonio
Ain't No Way
Pretty girl with a decent voice, she did better than some of the other girls so not surprised at all that she made it through. But i wasn't going crazy over it like the judges were. I don't think she can make the top 10 unless she really blows us away. but i doubt it.
6.5/10



Angela Miller
Nobodys Perfect
Yay my favorite girl hhaha, but another dang Jesse J song?? well at least she sounded really good and her stage presence was on point. I'm just scared that she might be getting pimped a little too hard, oh and why didnt the judges even critic this performance they just kept blabbering about her hollywood performance.
8/10


Amber Holcomb
My Funny Valentine
Whoa where did she come from! She sang so dang good, she did a little too much runs but it was still very impressive, doesn't come close to Melinda Doolittles rendition but it was still very good. She can possibly be a darkhorse in this competition.
8.5/10b


Kree Harrison
Up To The Mountain
I honestly didn't care much for kree but after this performance i fell in love with her, not only did she school the rest of the contestants but she did it without needing to dress up and put tons of make up on which i love about her. She sings with such conviction and it just pulls you in, she can be a possible frontrunner in this competition.

American Idol 12: Hollywood Week

Sorry guys my laptop is broken and I'm here using my phone ughh. So last week was the dreaded Hollywood week and unlike past seasons, this year the boys and the girls we're separated for what reason i don't know. Their were a few stand outs and alot of bad singing and forgetting lyrics. First ill talk judges then the.boys.then the girls. Lets go


Let me start with Nicki minaj who surprisingly i love as a judge, she seems interested in the contestants, she says what we all are thinking and shes funny. Although i don't understand why she.praises so many bad performances. Mariah Carey...shes Mariah Carey all she has to do is show up i guess haha. Keith urban is another great judge he really knows how to lighten up the mood and probably gives the most useful feedback. And then theres randy, who just yell "yeah yeah yeah" all the time.

The Guys

This year i think Nigel is making sure a girl wins this year so we saw almost no wgwg in Hollywood week and only a handful of standouts, Nick bottington who was cut last year. He probably in my opinion had the best week. Devin Velez showed he had a great voice. Cortez Shaw also redeemed himself and gave a string performance. Other guys that i think are worth watching are jimmy smith, Johnny keyser, Elijah liu, and burnell Taylor.

The Girls

Now the girls who unlike the boys, showed us a few frontrunners, some stellar performances, and what i call our first idol moment. Every year one contestant stands out to me and eventually becomes my favorite..this year Angela Miller! She had a great performance of her.original song and it was an idol moment i love this girl. Candice Glover also shined bright in Hollywood week showing she has one of the biggest voices this year and country girl Jannelle Arthur who i believe has a good shot in this competition. Other stand outs were Melisa ademi,  rachele hale, and kree Harrison. Oh and someone please tell me why Zoannette Johnson is still here!!

American Idol 12: San Antonio and Long Beach Auditions

Vincent Powell
Great voice very soulful and bluesy. but a little too old fashioned for my liking.
6.5

Savannah Votion
She wants to be a good mom, well girl cover up! haha she really surprised me with her soulful voice it was actually very impressive. Though she sounded like she was losing her voice.
8

Cristabel Clack
Her voice is refreshing and soft, she didn't try to over do it (but how much can you really change up an Alicia keys song). I really liked it but I'm not completely sold just yet.
7

Ann Difani
To be honest i found her story and her husband to be more exciting than her actual audition. Voice wasn't strong enough and kinda bored me.
5.5

Victoria Acosta
I would have sent this girl packing! Her first song choice was a train rec. When she did her mariachi thing it was better but nothing id care for.
5

Papa Peaches
Is Nicki Minaj serious? this guy cant sing at all, i sing better than this guy! sounds like he cant even hear himself sing. And since when does Randy Jackson change his vote?
0

Sanni M'mairura
Black Justin Beiber? am i allowed to say that? haha. Honestly i loved his audition it sounded fresh and new. Also he has great charisma and very confident.
6.5

Adam Sanders
Why does he remind me of Adam Lambert, probably because he sounds like him, just not as good though. It was a bit loud but i think it was one of the best all day. Really wasn't expecting that.
7

Shubha Vedula
Randy Jackson making fun of her name was just, retarded. But anyways i think her voice sounded pretty good, kinda sounds like Christina Aguilera. Very nice runs.
7

Matt Farmer
Now this guy sounded pretty good not great though. But anyways i heard he dropped out of the competition because he lied about his whole story, so what a shame.
6

Jesaiah Baer
Finally something different! seems like every person sings exactly the Samar this season, either country or a big soul voice. But this girl sounds so unique and the scatting was great, loved her.
7.5

Micah Johnson
it really does suck that the dentist caused him to have a speech impediment, but this kid can sang. and I'm really glad he picked an interesting song choice and not your typical, A change is gonna come or something like that.
8

Rachel Hale
Super sweet girl, and i absolutely love her song choice of "people get ready" love that song and she did it justice. her control and her confidence when she sings. one of my favorites.
8

Briana Oakley
Let me get this straight, she got bullied for singing on TV who the hell does that?? either its made up or the kids in that school are complete jack asses. She has a decent nice voice lots of power. But to me she just didn't stand out, she could surprise me though who knows.
6.5

Matheus Fernandes
I'm not buying his whole "feel bad for me because I'm short" sob story. Besides that i think his song choice was a little boring but he did sing it relatively good.  it did sound like he was a bit desperate though which i don't like.
6

American Idol 12: Baton Rouge Auditions

Megan Miller
she actually surprised me since she was a pageant girl i.would have expected her to come out singing some cheesy ballad. But instead she killed it and actually sounded alot like Christina Aguilera. And the humor of her using the crutch as a microphone was pretty good ha.
7.5

Charlie Askew
The audition that alot of people were talking about. Charlie seems like a sweet kid, very lovable i mean theres no way i can hate this kid. but his first song choice sounded awful, pitch was all over the place. His Second song "nature boy" was PERFECT. everyone will love him but hes going to have horrible performances, Sanjaya, heejun, chicken little.
6.5

Maddie Assel
I love this girl because she likes Haley Reinhart so I'm sold! haha but really she has a very nice voice but i think she did a little too much with it, i couldn't even understand the words.
7

Paul Jolly
This guy sounds alot like Clay Aiken singing country music. ehh i just don't think hell stand out enough to make it really far.
6

Calvin Peters
This dudes a doctor, why do you need American idol?! haha and he picked a song that requires him to sing in falsetto for very long , and he just wasn't that great.
6.5

Dustin Watts
Everyone loves good Ol firemen right?  Hes very lovable but his country voice was pretty generic and not interesting at all.
5

Burnell Taylor
Didn't remind me at all of Joshua ledet, like some people say. But i really loved his audition, i like how in his interview he seemed to have not much personality but when he performs hes like a whole different person. Front runner?
7.5

American Idol 12: Charlotte Auditions

Brian Rittenberry
I think every year theres a husky family guy who sings with a big soulful voice, and that's exactly what he is. But hes very forgettable and I'm sure he wont be sticking around for very long. Glad this isn't xfactor haha!
6

Jimmy Smith
Looks like someone that belongs in season 1 of American idol haha idk its just his look. but either than that he was one of the best of the night, he has a really nice voice and very controlled, with a touch of country. If he plays the guitar he can be a real contender
7.5

Isabelle Gonzalez
Okay raise your hand if you think she was surprised by randy Jackson? yeah me neither haha. Cute girl and i like the fact that she plays the piano, but i was a little underwhelmed by her audition. Her voice isn't bad but it doesn't sound mature enough. maybe shell surprise me who knows.
6

Taisha Bethera
I like the fact that she isn't your usual "black girl sings r&b" i like that she sing rock. Her voice is ok but again i felt underwhelmed, she didn't give her song the twist she said she would. Although i think she has potential.
6.5

Summer Cunningham
The girl that caused the so called big blow up between Nicki and Mariah. I like Nicki but i kinda agree with Mariah, this girl obviously has a decent country voice and it wouldn't be smart for her to try to "find herself" i mean this is American idol and if you haven't noticed, people do well when they already know who they are hence.Scotty, Phillip.
6

Brandy Hamilton
With all the good female contestants this season i think brandy to me just doesn't stand out, decent voice but i would've said no. that's all
5.5

Ashley Smith
At first i was ready to hate this girl she seemed like a joke no? and then she sang and it was freakin good! Might have been the best blonde country singer of the day haha!!
7

Janelle Arthur
If theres going to be only one blonde female country singer in the top 12 it should be this girl. i never heard the song she sang but i think she did a great job and her charisma was on point. Could be another Carrie Underwood?? or I'm i putting my expectations too high haha.
8

Rodney Barber
The voice of Charlotte? nice guy but number one he sang a very overdone song and number two i just didn't think he was that great.
5

Candice Glover
Now i knew ever since last season when she got cut, that she would be returning. but i didn't know she would come back this strong. I mean girl could sang! very interesting song choice and just the best vocal so far all season. She needs to have a realllly bad performance to not make it through to the top 10.
9

Ja'Bria Barber
Frog legs? gross! but her voice was so soulful and mature. and she kind of reminds me of Melinda Doolittle no?
7.5

Seretha Guinn
With all these black female singers this year i think she stands out for the song choice alone. i mean fresh prince!? pretty awesome. i wont even say anything about her second song, just..no..
