RE AMERICAN IDOL:
The worst three performances of the night for me:
1. Vonzell without question. Sang sharp or flat on almost everything, got drowned out by the backup singers and eventually just sang accompaniment FOR THEM, and then went into her head voice for the last vocal phrase, and it was so sharp my teeth started cracking. Really, really terrible for her tonight.
2. Carrie. She seemed indifferent to the music and showed a total lack of interest in singing through much of the song, also looked very uncomfortable singing. The low notes were off, and those high notes in the song she had to strain to reach. She got to them, but they weren't pretty. Her worst vocal performance of the competition.
3. Anwar - pitch was all over the map, and I didn't find his showmanship enough to offset the indifferent vocal. A couple of high notes couldn't save a basically sloppy, uninteresting performance.
Best of the night for me was Anthony whose ease with the singing was noticeable. He seemed happy, upbeat, and confident, and his singing was a thousand percent improved.
Scott, sorry to say, had an excellent performance tonight. I'm not sure he got all the words right, but the notes were all there, and his tone was very ingratiating. Nope, his body language and stage presence sucks, but on the basis of just his voice, the second best of the night.
I also liked Bo and COnstantine.
Now, as for busy signals for the two hours I called, Carrie's line was by far the busiest. Scott's was also constantly busy, so I'm afraid to say we're going to see them again next week.
Not busy nearly as much were Anwar's (the least busy), Constantine, and Anthony. Hope that's not a sign of things to come. I don't mind Anwar leaving, but the other two are too talented to go away just yet.
