Early Billboard

 


So because tomorrow marks the start of the awards season, I'm doing Billboard a day early;



 Squabble Up- Kendrick Lamar

It's no Not Like Us, but it has a nice hook. But that's not much of a surprise considering Lamar's always been good with hooks. Personally, I don't particularly care for this. My mind could possibly change as it did with Not Like Us (I'll explain in my Best Of list next month), but right now the song is just meh. But that doesn't downplay the song in any way, It's just not my favorite.


 Church Doors- Yolanda Adams

I guess the song is fine. But here's the thing; I grew up listening to Yolanda Adams and she's done better than this. Even in terms of her vocal performance, she's done better (this woman can SANG her butt off). I'm not saying I expected her to knock it out of the park, it's just that at the same time, this is lackluster in comparison to her older work. If others feel differently, that's fine. But I'm very picky and for me this song just doesn't cut it.

Thanks For Reading.

For those of you who didn't track these last year, here's an explanation; I will be saying my thoughts on the contestants and their performances.

American Idol 2025 Day 2: Top 24

  I would like to say that for the first week of live shows, a good majority of contestants either did REALLY good or better than they should have. I personally was very impressed with the last 2 days. With that being said, I still gotta rank. 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 Week:  Baylee Littrell Happy - Pharrell This really kills me. Not sure what he was thinking with this song choice #23: Josh King I'm Still Standing - Elton John Him and Baylee equally sucked. But at least this song was more in Josh's league #22: Olivier Bergeron   I'm Not Okay - Jelly Roll He's kind of bland to me #21: Desmond Roberts Do I Do - Stevie Wonder Needs to calm down a little #20: John Foster Callin' Baton Rouge - Various Also kind of bland #19: Kyana Fanene I Am - St...
