American Idol Day 2: Top 24

 




So Sunday and yesterday, Idol had the first 2 of their live shows of the season with the Top 24. Today I will be ranking every single performance from worst to best. This ranking is solely based on my opinion. If you have not read last week's introduction, I highly suggest you read that first before this ranking;

 




Worst Performance Of The Weak: Blake Proehl

 

Anyone- Justin Bieber

He probably had the most vocal flaws of the night in my opinion. Again, if he perfects his craft then he'll be great. 



#23: Kennedy Reid


Fancy- Reba McEntire

Kennedy actually grew on me during Hollywood Week. She's shrunk back down now




#22: Elleigh Marie

 


Forget You- CeeLo Green

Why did she even pick this song. It makes no sense to me 😕




#21: Hailey Mia




She's All I Wanna Be- Tate McRae

She was fine but I expect better



#20: Julia Gagnon

 

Rumor Has It- Adele

She surprisingly held back a little too much. I said she needed trimming, but not that much trimming



#19: Jayna Elise

 

Confident- Demi Lovato

She's an example of a lot of runs but still bland. I want to like her (mainly because of her kindness) but I just find her voice generic



#18: Jennifer Jefferies 


Bruises- Lewis Capaldi

She's should've lowered the note. Otherwise she could've gone all out



#17: KBlocks


Harley's In Hawaii- Katy Perry

One foul note was a problem, but I applaud her for doing a judge's song




#16: Mia Matthews


Daddy's Hands- Holly Dunn

This was sweet but nothing special. Still a little too innocent



#15: Quintavious


Something In The Water- Carrie Underwood

The biggest example this year of a lot of runs but still bland. Except this one's got some tricks too. I appreciate the worship song though



#14: Jordan Anthony


Titanium- David Guetta Ft. Sia

I thought he was decent. Not great, but decent. Also, I love this song



#13: Odell Bunton Jr.


Uptown Funk- Mark Ronson Ft. Bruno Mars

He's this low because while he wasn't bad, I know he can do better. Honestly, he would've been a better singer for Forget You then Elleigh



#12: Kayko


How To Live Without You- Original

Not amazing, but sweet.



#11: KB Richins

  

Heaven- Bryan Adams

A little shaky towards the end, but still a decent job



#10: Abi Carter


Oceans (Where Feet May Fall)- Hillsong United

One foul note kept her from being a lot higher. But again, I appreciate the worship song



#9: McKenna Faith Breinholt


The Story- Brandi Carlile

Not amazing, but good



#8: Mackenzie Sol

 

Jealous- Nick Jonas

This is the second time he's done a song called Jealous 😂



#7: Will Moseley


(Sittin' On ) The Dock By The Bay- Otis Redding

He looks like a professional up there



#6: Ajii


Higher- Tems

Improvement from previous performance and I'm a sucker for Reggae



#5: Jack Blocker

 

Rainbow- Kacey Musgraves

He was pretty good. The song worked well with his voice and his style



#4: Triston Harper


God's Country- Blake Shelton

I wish he did a little bit more. But overall, very good performance



#3: Emmy Russell


Beautiful Things- Benson Boone

She surprised me. I'm very impressed with the arrangement of this song 



#2: Roman Collins


How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)- Marvin Gaye

Probably the most fun performance of the night




Best Performance Of The Week: Nya


The Best- Tina Turner

Ironic isn't it? 😏



Again, this is my opinion. Anyway, we'll be doing this again next week. Thanks for reading.

So.......The Bride😕

So I was completely off-track with The Bride . Did not expect the film to crash and burn as hard as it did with both critics AND the box-office. After getting murdered, a woman by the name of Ida is brought back to life with the intention of being a companion to the oh-so iconic Frankenstein. And together they wreck havoc. Like Wuthering Heights , the movie wasn't terrible but it had a lot of problems. The biggest issue with this film is that it tries way too hard to be edgy and it just doesn't work. It wanted to be this hardcore feminist take on Frankenstein , but it just felt convoluted and slightly underwritten. It had this plotline involving Ida causing some revolution for women and did pretty much nothing with it until the last minute. It was kind of a let down. The best thing about the movie however was the performances and chemistry between Buckley and Christian Bale. I thought they were strangely endearing, and this might be a better love story than Wuthering Heights  (...

Last Minute Music Reviews

  So here are some last minute reviews of songs that I've heard over the past few months that did not reach #1;   Where Is My Husband - Raye This is incredibly fun and strangely catchy. While this is not officially a jazz song, this obviously has jazz influence and it works very well for this song. I will go ahead and admit that this is my introduction to Raya, I have not listened to Oscar Winning Tears . So far, I'm intrigued.    Midnight Sun - Zara Larsson This song is kind of AWESOME. Not only is the production GORGEOUS, but it also has a very nice hook that goes smoothly with Larsson's voice. My sister actually recommended this song to me and I see why. Larsson does currently have a Grammy nomination for this. She's gonna lose, but I'm glad this song got recognized. If my sister see's this, thank you.   How It's Done - Huntrix (From KPop Demon Hunters ) I have been meaning to review this for a while, but I kept getting lazy. Like Golden , this song has g...
