Idol contestants mediocre so far
A few weeks ago, I told myself as well as other people I wasn’t going to get drawn into this season of “American Idol.” I was sucked in last season and well, I have to admit I was sucked in again.
As I’ve been watching the show this season, I’ve been disappointed with a lot of the performances. Like Simon Cowell said last week, the judges are looking for someone who would be a good recording artist. There are maybe three people out of the new bunch that have that potential.
I watched the guys perform last night and I enjoyed David Hernandez's “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” the best. He looked like he was enjoying himself and he had charisma. It’s definitely a song that you can get into or jam out to.
Jason Yeager’s “Long Train Running” turned out to be like something you would hear from a cruise ship singer or karaoke in my opinion.
I think Chikezie is a good singer but the song he chose to sing was really boring. He needed to choose something different that would show more of his range and charisma.
Jason Castro’s “I want to be your everything” was boring. I agree with Paula...it would be good to see him without the guitar.
David Cook, who sang “All Right Now” was leaning on guitar playing too much. I wanted to hear more singing and the band seemed like they carried him I thought cook was overstepping his bounds with telling Simon that he had to win the crowd over.
Luke Menard sang Queen’s “Killer Queen.” I see him as someone that would be in a musical instead of someone who would have an album out.
Robbie Carrico sang “Hotblooded.” I agree with Randy. “Didn’t have that umph.” To be a rocker, you need to have a lot of power in your songs and have confidence. I didn’t see either.
Michael Johns sang “You can go your own way.”Again, the singer needed to have more power, especially while singing a Fleetwood Mac song.
Danny Noriega sang “Superstar.” It was kind of forgettable and just average.
David Archuleta's "Imagine" was decent. I think he's a good singer but I didn't like the song choice for him.
