Group 2 - Results Show



My prediction came true... well the 3rd one was either Kris or Megan, so it was Kris!

3 advancing to Top 12 (They actually deserve it)
Allison Iraheta
Kris Allen
&
Adam Lambert

Adam and Nick/Norman were the last 2 for suspense! Of course. Haha. But in my heart I was so sure Adam is the one. So yeah.

Wildcard picks for Group 2: Megan Corkrey and Matt Giraud

Next week I will be rooting for: Jorge Nunez, Alex Trugman, probably Scott. For the girls, I have high hopes for Taylor Vaifanua, Arianna and Lil Rounds.

My prediction for now, for the 3 advancing: Scott, Lil Rounds and Von Smith.

Wildcard picks: Jorge Nunez, Alex Trugman and Taylor Vaifanua.

Group 2





Jasmine- Wrong song. One of the not so good performances.
Matt G- Had high hopes for this guy. I loved him during Hollywood week & he blew it.
Jeanine- Wrong song. She will be remembered because of her legs. I think she was the worst in terms of singing. She said that she was under the radar before this performance, I think the reason is that she's forgettable.
Nick/Norman- Funny! Could have been a great vocal performance, but I think his "comedy" overpowered his singing. I think I can safely say that Nick, see you in the finals (as a guest). But funny guy.
Allison- Impressive. First time I heard her sing and she's probably one of the best female vocalists this season. She's better than Alexis, and memorable.
Kris- Very cute. I think he picked a safe song, had a few good moments. One of my favorite performances of the night.
Megan- Cute! I liked her dress. She picked the right song, but faltered in some notes. She was fun to watch. I actually can see her winning this competition even though she's not the typical belter. I agree with all of the judges, she's very relevant in this generation.
Matt B- Between the roughneck and this welder, I choose the former. He was just so boring in this performance and he didn't even try to pick a song that would counter his usual ballad singing.
Jesse- A very weird performance. I didn't like her then, still didn't like her. I like her song choice, but it wasn't fit for her voice.
Kai- Started to be a potential during first auditions, but he just blew his chance in entering the Top 12. His performance is forgettable.
Mishavonna- I liked her song choice, but I guess she is probably forgettable. She sang the song well, but she does not affect me at all in a good or bad way. Good luck to her.
Adam- I'm a bit biased here since he is one of my favorites, but to be fair, that wasn't really amazing for me. His singing was insane, but the song choice not so much. His singing will, hopefully, always be fantastic, I'm just worried with his song choices. Like Danny Gokey, Adam is probably one of the frontrunners of this season.

My favorites of the night: Allison Iraheta, Kris Allen, Megan Corkrey and Adam Lambert.

Who should advance: Allison, Adam and tie between Kris & Megan

Wildcard picks: Kris/Megan & Matt G

OVERALL: Average, but better than last week's.

The last one announced was a SHOCKER!



My prediction:
Danny Gokey
Alexis Grace
Anoop Desi/ Tatiana del Toro

The real results:
(in order of announcement)
Alexis Grace
Michael Sarver
Danny Gokey

I have nothing against Michael or anything, but I was really expecting (and was sure of it actually) that Anoop will get that spot. Michael has a good singing voice and likeable, but I find him Matt Rogers 2.0. I hope that he will prove me wrong.

Group 2's next!
adam - One of my faves, hope he doesn't disappoint! And hopes he will impress MORE people.
matt g- He's good.
matt b- ...
kai- Looks promising
nick- Well... he makes me laugh
kris- HE IS SO CUTE.

megan- I wanna see her perform already she seems so interesting!
mishavonna- ...
allison- ....
jeanine- I don't know her
jasmine- Not really feeling her.
jesse
- This too. I wanted Frankie instead. :(

My prediction for now (based on popularity I guess)
Adam Lambert
Jasmine Murray
shall I dare type it? Norman Gentle/ Nick Mitchell or Megan Corkrey.

But I also want Matt G & Kris because he's cute!

American Idol 8- Group 1



Jackie Thon- She wasn't that bad, I think sometimes her attitude is a bit annoying. She had a few good moments, the dancing, meh. She's off my fave list.
Ricky Braddy- He was rarely shown during first auditions and Hollywood week, but damn he can sing. I hope, if he doesn't get the popular vote, he'd be part of the Wild Card.
Alexis Grace- Well, she has a good voice, but I'm not really liking her. But good performance.
Brent Keith- Forgettable. But the song choice was quite nice. Download (I think I'm liking country more... :O )
Stevie Wright- I thought she'd do well. She looks so promising, but she picked the wrong song and she did really bad with the singing.
Anoop Desai- I was underwhelmed because he picked a cheesy song. Still, he has a good voice. I hope he does well.
Casey Carlson- She had one of the worst performances that night. She redeemed herself by being pretty.
Michael Sarver- I know this guy has a great voice, but the song didn't do him any justice. OR, he didn't sing the song so well. He was overpowered by the background vocals.
Ann Marie Boskovich- She was okay. That's it.
Stephen Fowler- I agree with all of the judges (of course they said similar things about his performance). He's forgettable (well he'll be rememberd as the guy who didn't finish Time of My Life during Hollywood week).
Tatiana del Toro- surprising. Not so perfect, but she was actually one of the better performers that night.
Danny Gokey- Hmm.... definitely one of the better performers. Channeling David Cook perhaps? HAHA, never in a million years. Great control. Odd song choice, pulled it off. He's okay in my book. Completely agree with Simon.

My prediction:

3 people who will be advancing, imo:
Danny Gokey
Alexis Grace
Anoop Desi/ Tatiana del Toro

Wildcard picks:
Ricky Braddy
Michael Sarver

*During the first auditions, I thought the girls are going to be the better ones, but after this performance the guys win in having better singing voices.*

OVERALL: AVERAGE
I hate having a Top 36.
BRING BACK Top 24. Unless it will be better by the next 2 groups.
