Adam's influence on this group: dressing up for the performance. So far, vocally, I'm not so impressed with the first 5 girls. OK but not outstanding... JMO

I felt sorry for Rachel. I don't think that she knew was out of tune,
I dreaded hearing Hero, but she did alright, Rodriguez that is.
So far no one is knocking it out the park.

I cannot believe all the praise they are throwing at the Rodrigues girl....I thought she was barely meh.....good grief. But the first few boys were nasty too. And I was/am really predisposed to liking Rachel. oh well

Lauren may have some potential. I like her voice.
On Karen again, I like those last hight note riff she did. Those notes were pure and crystal clear.
These ladies are not owning these songs. It's one half step from karoake.

Are Steven and Jennifer tone deaf? Maybe the sound in the room is different than what we are hearing on TV, Ashton was off for nost of the song.

i thought PIA was the best and THIA. LAUREN A will definitely get voted through. i have no idea about the 2 other slots...
maybe NAIMA because she seems to have fans. and... ah i give up. the girls were overall meh. the guys on the whole were way more entertaining.

Well, I tried to watch it tonight. Recorded it so that I could fast forward thru singers who I didn't like after the first 16 bars. But, even fast forwarding, I couldn't make myself watch the whole thing. Got thru 5 and then checked here to see what incredible performances I should fast forward to. I'm not seeing anyone blown away on this thread.
Frankly, I was bored. True, no one was cringingly bad -- which I can't take. But, there are just so many female pop singers and pop divas on the scene these days, we don't need any more. There was nothing here that was new or exciting. It may be that I am thoroughly jaded by this time. I know how the producers manipulate the back stories, manipulate the kids, manipulate the results. I don't believe the best vocalist wins. Tonight was just one lounge singer after another. Sorry. Won't be watching much. Please let me know if there is someone in particular worth checking out.

After watching all the ladies, It was all just meh. I didn't see anyone that made me perk up and imagine them recording an album that I would like to hear.
I agree with you Cassie, it was all just lounge singer, high school auditorium performances. I did see some potential in Lauren T and Naima as far as personality. Thia sang well, but that was so disney. I thought Lauren A gave her worst performance of the season so far. I don't know why Pia got a standing ovation. Her performance was fine technically, but it didn't move me.
The ladies did not inspire me to want to watch more of Idol this year. Steven and JLo live almost everything. Randy is all over the place. I beginning to think that idol doesn't have a clue about selecting a commercially relevant artist.
I wonder what America thought.
