Movie Night
Stacy Francis
Queen of the Night from The Body Guard
Stacy at 42 showed her vocal ability with this selection. The dance moves weren't needy and the leg spreading with the skirt was appalling. She has more class than that. L.A. Reid didn't want to give her props but he knew that she did better than he would have ever thought on this selection. I think she's the runner up in the 30 and over category. Do your thang Stacy....
Marcus Canty
I'm Going Down from Car Wash
Marcus is a want to be Usher. His vocals were not on point for this selection. He is too cocky, acting as if he already has this in the bag. Nicole seems to be nice to everyone giving the same criticism all around. Someone needs to break this dude down. L.A. Reid give him harder and better songs. If he's really the artist in your crystal ball, then challenge your artist. I agree with Simon, can he do anything different besides L.A. Reid's songs??? We shall see next time...
Drew
from You, Me and Dupree
First, what the hell did she have on? Can we say overly squirky...moving on to what's important. Nice vocal pitch throughout the song. Paula's right her dress didn't match the song selection. Simon, Lady Gaga's outfits match the song selections, Drew's does not. As her mentor, try guiding her in the right direction with, like you say, "the whole package."
LeRoy Bell
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For from The Runaway Bride
This man can SAANNNGGG....This younger artist should aspire to be like him. He has the total package even at his age. His age is the only thing that is not playing in his factor but if you didn't know his age you wouldn't know the difference. All of the judges finally gave him the props he deserved. LeRoy you ROCK!!!!
Lakoda Rayne
Somebody Like You from How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days
This group is trying to come together. It's like the finding of the Dixie Chicks. They sounded better and came together as a real group. Have they found their genre? Have they found their harmony? We shall see. This was their best performance yet but can they keep this going?
Astro
Lose Yourself from 8 Mile
This kid has it going on but I hope this doesn't go to his head. He is very talented. I think that it's wonderful that he can write his own lyrics each week. By writing his own lyrics he shows his versatility as an artist. He could be signed tomorrow and have songs ready to rock and roll. He's ready for the real thing. So who's going to sign him before the show is over?
Melanie Amaro
Man in the Mirror from This Is It
Sick or not, she handled that well. L.A. Reid is a hater. This is the singer to beat. She's versatile and has a range that most on the show cannot touch. She's angelic with each note. I hope she can just keep this streak going without the audience getting bored. So Simon as her mentor better step it up to the next level next week.
Stereo Hogzz
Ain't No Other Man from Get Smart
This group has a classic look but their lead singer is holding them together. L.A. Reid big time producer but you're not aware of the hits out there. WTF!!! I like this group but don't think they are going to last very long. I have to agree with Simon in the type of music they are performing. This group should have definitely stepped it up this week with a banging song. This is not a good look for this group unless someone else in the competition just does absolutely worse.
Josh Krajcik
With A Little Help From My Friends from Across the Universe
Is it just me or does the guy look like he's smiling through the aggressive parts of the song? OK the Cowardly Lion has a great voice but how many artist are already out like him? Do we need another? Let's see how far this humble man will go in this youthful competition. Love the voice with awesome control. But how many competitions are we going to have this same voice?
Chris Rene
Gangsta's Paradise from Dangerous Minds
This song and dance could seemed like a prank. Was this a real performance? If Nicole or Paula say how someones performance was "honest", I think I'm going to scream. I'm surprised at the judges on this performance. He's probably one of the weaker contestants in the competition. I'm happy he's been clean but this is not going to hold him down for much longer. So Chris I hope you weren't dependent on this to be your focus for staying clean.
Rachel Crow
I'd Rather Go Blind from Cadillac Records
Watch out Melanie Amaro this is your competition right here. Rachel has a voice that is a force to be reckoned with. She just brought the house down. The youngest contestant is the leading contender. Watch out everyone this is the one to beat right here. She picked her own song and she knew exactly what to do with it. Most would have said the song was too much for her but WOW....she owned it. Rachel Crow you are the X-Factor....
