Contestant: Cortez Shaw Song: David Guetta’s “Titanium” This was the last performance of this episode. I’d put this performance probably in the top half of tonight’s 10 performances. It definitely wasn’t the best, but he had a couple of nice … Continue reading →

Contestant: Lazaro Arbos Song: Keith Urban’s “Tonight I Wanna Cry” He kind of moans throughout the song. I mean, it’s kind of pretty in spots. This guy had the most buzz in the initial auditions. He will slowly lose it. … Continue reading →

Contestant: Gurpreet Singh Sarin (The Turbanator) Song: James Morrison’s “Nothing Ever Hurt Like You” Pre-Show Prediction: Sarin seems to have an average chance of making it to the Top 20 this year. It may well depend on his singing. But … Continue reading →

Contestant: Mathenee Treco Song: Elvis Presley’s “A Little Less Conversation” Well, he kind of lost the vocal control in too many spots on this performance. It was still enjoyable, but he didn’t have the most pleasant vocal tone - especially … Continue reading →
