American Idol Thoughts: Day 1

 



So here's a new activity that I would like to do for this blog. I am a singer, and I have been watching American Idol for as long as I can remember. The show is definitely not what it used to be (and I say that in a neutral way). But honestly I don't care, I'll gladly take it over The Voice. So starting today, I will be saying my thoughts on the contestants and their performances. In typical 'me' fashion, I will rank each performance to #1. But unlike my normal lists, this will be from worst to best. Though this will be starting next week. Today I will simply be speaking on the Top 24 and my thoughts on each one.



The show recently choose it's Top 24 for the live shows, and they are as follows;


Jordan Anthony Odell Bunton Jr. (Platinum Ticket)


 Nya                     Blake Proehl


 Triston Harper       Roman Collins


Kaibrienne "KB" Richins Jack Blocker


McKenna Faith Breinholt Mia Matthews


Emmy Russell                  Will Moseley



 Ajii                                         Kayko


Elleigh Marie             Kennedy Reid


 KBlocks                                Abi Carter (Platinum Ticket)



Jayna Elise                            Quintavious



Hailey Mia                       Jennifer Jeffries



Mackenzie Sol        Julia Gagnon (Platinum Ticket)





Here's a division of where I stand on these contestants in the form of Loves, Likes, and Meh/I Don't Cares:




Loves-


Odell Bunton Jr.- This dude can SANG!!!!!!

Triston Harper- He won me over during Hollywood week

KBlocks- Lacks in vocals, makes up in personality





Likes-


Nya- Pretty modern for a Broadway chick

Blake Proehl- If he perfects his craft, he'll be great. Plus he's my age 💓

Roman Collins- I'm a sucker for church boys

Kaibrienne "KB" Richins- She's good but she worries me. Her dad is adorable though

Jack Blocker- Odd but good

McKenna Faith Breinholt- Soft but good

Will Moseley- Big guy, big voice

Ajii- Same as Will

Kayko- Please get over your imposter syndrome 

Abi Carter- I understand why she got the ticket

Hailey Mia- Mature voice for her age

Julia Gagnon- Needs trimming, but talented and I understand her ticket 

Mackenzie Sol- He's a sweetheart 😊





Meh/I Don't Care-



Jordan Anthony- He's fine, that's it

Mia Matthews- Improving but slightly innocent

Emmy Russell- Due to the legacy of her grandmother, she worries me

Elleigh Marie- She kind of boring

Kennedy Reid- Meh but probably the most improved

Jayna Elise- Talented and sweet, but voice is generic

Quintavious- I want to like him but he comes off strange to me

Jennifer Jeffries- She's boring






Oldest Contestants- Odell and Nya (28)

Youngest Contestant- Triston (15)

Best Girl- Nya

Best Boy- Odell

Favorite Contestant- Odell 


Starting next week, I will be ranking each performance from worst to best. If a song I feel uncomfortable with is covered, I will skip the ranking and just say the best and worst performance. Once people start going home, they will not be included in the ranking.


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...
