After watching both groups perform, I believe the stronger singers this year are the boys. Ryan Seacrest wasted no time Thursday evening announcing the top 10 performers that were going through to next week’s show. In no particular order, the following names were called:
Malaya Watson is first through. She has SUCH a personality.
Ben Briley (ditch the plaid dude).
Emily Piriz. This surprised me. She has a good voice, but I didn’t like her song choice.
Alex Preston. YAY!!!!
Jessica Meuse
Dexter Roberts
Caleb Johnson (YAY). Note to Caleb: Do NOT maul Ryan Seacrest.
Majesty Rose (YAY!)
And they finally took a commercial break.
MK Nobilette
Sam Woolf (awesome!)
Wild Card
Jennifer Lopez explains. Of the 10 left, they are going to choose 5 to sing tonight so that from that they can pick 3 of them.
CJ Harris. It was good. Singing for his life? Not really. Harry said both the band and CJ screwed that up. It was not a strong start; it was average. He did not feel any of the magic. Jennifer said the specialness of his voice and soul still came through for her. Keith said he has to stay emotionally connected to the song the entire way through; he was drifting in and out emotionally.
Jena Irene. Playing keyboard. I hope she gets picked. I had goosebumps. Keith said it was a really good use of that moment.
Spencer Lloyd. I think he should have chosen the “Say Something” song (as they pointed out to him just the night before). Jennifer thinks he picked the wrong song to sing again.
Bria Anai. She was awesome. I know she will get a spot. Harry said she sang for her life but it was all over the place. She was clearly not expecting that comment.
Kristen O’Connor. She was ahead of the band. It was not her best.
