Sure, make me look foolish
So a few of the women came out swingin' or singin' and they looked good.
The ones who can leave right now without being missed: Nicole Tranquillo, Alaina Alexander (please!), Antonella Barba and Leslie Hunt (psycho eyes!).
There are two that I think should get another shot even though they completely blew it last night-- Haley Scarnato and Amy Krebs. Look, bad songs, nerves, whatever, they might still be able to compete.
And then there are the few who made my "the men are much stronger" comment look a bit weak. I am still not backing down on that though...yet.
Gina--rocker chick--Not the right song, and Simon might have been right about her not hitting the note exactly, but she has a hell of a voice and there's at least something different about her. Love that her dad also dyed a piece of his hair to match hers. Too funny!
Stephanie Edwards - Good voice. I know everyone was loving her but I didn't like the song and she has yet to win me over. Still, with all of that she stood out with that performance.
Sabrina-- Well, well, well. I have to tell you that Sparky and I almost fast forwarded through her just because, honestly, she just didn't look like someone we wanted to watch. That would have been a big mistake. Holy hell that girl can sing. Great song choice. Great performance. She stays for a while.
Melinda Doolittle -- She is growing on me every week. I can't get past her posture or lack of neck unless I really focus on the singing. But that's easy to do once she gets going. And I like her. She is easy to like and a hell of a performer. She makes it to the top 10.
Jordin Sparks - Amazing that she is only 17. I love this kid. She makes Paris look like an amateur. Fun, talented, great stage presence. Love, love, love her.
But the one who stole the show? Lakisha. Hands down. No doubt about it. And yes, we do love her. Risky song if she didn't do well but she hit it. Funny thing. When this started I thought I would tire quickly of her "I'm a single mom" story, and I still may, but with that voice...who cares? So far she leads everyone. Not a doubt in my mind.
So, the girls outsang the guys this week. Maybe I was wrong, who knows. It certainly wouldn't be the first time. But let's give it a few weeks and see how things level out.
