I watched the entire show tonight so I thought I'd comment on all the contestants.
It's down to the top 10 and after tomorrow, it will be down to the top 5.
Up first was :
Paul Salos, the Sinatra singer. He doesn't impress me at all. I thought he sounded rather blah.
Kaitly Maher: She's adorable but she seemed way off key tonight and sounded awfully nervous. There's no way I'd want to sit and watch her sing for an hour or even buy her CD. I can't understand half of what she's singing since her voice is so immature. She needs to go home.
Donald Braswell: I thought he was wonderful as usually. Of course he happened to sing one of my favorite Josh Grobin songs so that helped, lol.
Jessica Price: She has a nice voice but I don't think she was as good as the judges made her out to be. She was just alright.
Joseph Hall: Pierce is right. He can't sing but he's entertaining. I get a kick out of him. I just wish he had a voice like Elvis.
Neal E Boyd: I love this guy but I didn't care for his song choice. The only thing good about his performance was the strong high notes.
The judges are right. He needs to stick to opera.
The Wright Kids: Cute kids but they sounded horrible.
Queen Emily: I like this lady but I thought she sounded terrible tonight. It sounded like she was just screaming. The judges thought she was great but I think she picked the wrong song. She still needs to be in the op 5 but she better find a song more suited to her voice.
Nuttin But Strings: Tonight was the first time I heard them from beginning to end and I enjoyed the song and their playing. However, I would not want to listen to an hour of them playing their violins. Just not my cup of tea.
Eli Mattson: I thought his piano playing was excellent but I don't care for his voice. I think he needs to stick to piano playing and get someone else to do the singing.
My top 5 picks are:
1. Donald Braswell
2. Neal E. Boyd
3. Queen Emily
4. Joseph Hall
5. Nuttin But Strings
