The top 8 girls are performing tonight. They all want to be in the TOP 12... but 2 of them will be going home this week. No pressure... right? Let's see how they do.
First up...
Katie Stevens: This girl CAN sing, but hasn't really wow-ed anybody since her audition. She is going to be singing Kelly Clarkson's "Break Away". Hmmm. This better be good. She has a very rich tone for a 17 year old... but her pitch is a little "if-y". She's not much of a performer either. This is not a very strong performance to kick things off. It won' t help her this week.
Siobhan: is singing "House of The Rising Sun"... strange? Nice a cappella beginning. I don't care much for the song... but she sounds great. Great voice. I think she may be the girl to beat.
Lacey: Is singing "The Story" by Belinda Carlisle. WOW... this song has one of the most difficult melodies ever. Accuracy is everything on this tune. She is doing a great job with it though. Cool vibe... nice job! I liked it.
Katelyn: Carole King's "I Feel The Earth Move". She has a softer voice. She will need a little more "soul" in her voice... more power... to pull this one off. It's just not working. Not a great performance.
Di Di: She's singing a Fleetwood Mac tune tonight. I like what she is doing with this song. She is definitely stronger with the guitar in her hands. The only other time that she has sounded good on the show was when she played the guitar Hollywood week. So far she has not been able to perform with the band though. That will probably hurt her along the way.... but I think she's safe this week. She sounded pretty good on this tune.
Paige: She's doing Charlie Chaplin's "smile". She looks nervous. She sounds nervous. Oooh... this is not good at all. This may be her last week on the show. I'm just sayin'....
Crystal: Tonight... she is singing "Give Me One Reason" by Tracy Chapman. WOW... she sounds great on this! Perfect song choice. Too bad she's not doing her own guitar work though. After that intro... I thought maybe she was going to shred. Still... really good stuff. Maybe the best of the night! Very nice.
Lilly: She is singing Patsy Cline's song, "I Fall To Pieces"? OK... before she ever gets started... this is going to be weird. Talk about bad song choice... and the mandolin is not helping anything. She does still have the uniqueness factor going for her. I just don't know.
Tonight.... I have to go with (not necessarily in this order)...
Lacey
Siobhan
and Crystal.

Crystal has been and still is by far the leader for the girls. Very talented and different, and she knows who she is.
