Contestant: Amber Holcomb Song: Kelly Clarkson’s “A Moment Like This” Amber is closing the show tonight (the pimp spot). As long as she does decent, we can expect her to make it to next week. Well, she is not having … Continue reading →

Contestant: Burnell Taylor Song: Westlife’s “Flying Without Wings” Ruben Studdard sang this song in Season 2. If it were just a “vocal tone contest,” Burnell might win. But he is going to come across as boring if he keeps up … Continue reading →

Contestant: Kree Harrison Song: Roy Orbison’s “Crying” Pre-Show Prediction: Kree is going 8th in the singing order tonight. She definitely shows great vocal control in her performances. This country singer has gained huge ground since the last round in Hollywood … Continue reading →

Contestant: Janelle Arthur Song: Montgomery Gentry’s “Gone” She said in her intro package that she wants to be traditional country. Janelle then goes and sings “Gone,” which doesn’t sound much like traditional country. So I’m not sure what she’s going … Continue reading →

Contestant: Curtis Finch, Jr. Song: Fantasia’s “I Believe” Pre-Show Prediction: Finch is a lot better when he can just freestyle it and do whatever he wants. But when he is forced to pretty much stick to the melody of a … Continue reading →
