Down To The Top 12

Tonight was the big night, the reveal of the top 12 finalists! I was happy beyond words to see Danny go, a little sad that Asia'h went, and totally unsurprised by Luke and Kady's exit - overall the night was pretty much what I expected. I am looking forward to next week and songs from Lennon & McCartney.

Congratulations - Amanda, Brooke, Carly, Chikezie, David A, David C, David H, Jason C, Kristie, Michael, Ramiele, & Syesha

Top 8 Guys Do The 80's

Well the 80's were too tough of the guys, overal I felt that all the guys gave good vocal performances. Danny still annoys me with his over the top dramatics but at least he was in tune. I really enjoyed David C. this week and thought that Jason C. gave a great solid performance I just wish he had more to offer.

Top 3: David C., Jason C., David A.

Bottom 3: Michael, Luke, Danny

Another 4 Go Home

So now we are down to 16, and next week the top 12 will be revealed. I have to say that I am really sorry to see Alexandrea go, and I feel bad for Jason Y. having to put up with all the harsh criticism just to be knocked out of the running while Danny is still in. Well, we can always hope for next week. I am pleased that the girls got Alaina to sing, now she knows she can do it and she will be able to look back and be proud of herself. Robbie could have been interesting but there are still good guys left. That's all for now, looking forward to next week.

Top 10 Guys Do The 70's

I'm not sure that the 70's were any kinder to the guys than the 60's were. Some were good, one was great, the rest were somewhere in the middle except of course for Danny. Admittedly Danny's vocals were much better this week; but the overly dramatic gestures, dancing, and expressions just ruin it for me. David A. won the night with a stunning version of Imagine for the show's final performance.

The First 4 Farwells

So tonight we said goodbye to Garrett, Amy, Joanne, and Colton. I have to admit the only one I am sad about is Joanne, I liked her and she had a nice voice. Danny is still with us and has the full support of VFTW, so I am afraid it will take quite a bit to get rid of him. Wonder who they will latch onto for girls next week? May their servers keep bombing. Looking forward to next week.

Top 12 Guys Do The 60's

So I have to admit that I was pleased, and even a little surprised by how the night went. Danny came the closest to sucking and even his performance was livable. No one just totally fell apart and did the deer in the headlights screech and wail.

I'm not going to go through every performance, but I will say that David A. is just amazing, and I like Robbie more than I thought I would, and like Michael less. Who knows.

So tonight it will be the ladies, let's hope they are as good, or better than, the guys.
