That's what makes the winner so unpredictable, and that's what we like. <br /><br />We like everything about Naima except the way she doesn't sing on key. We love her style and ability to take risks. She would shoot to one of the As if she could fix the pitchiness. She's so pretty too. Stefano is the snooze for us. We can see why you would dislike Scotty and Jacob, but Haley and James? Really? What do you dislike about them?<br /><br />And yeah, Pia needs to shake it up. Those 90s songs really show off a voice, and we think it was brilliant to start out with them. She's proven that she can sing. Now she needs to prove she can sing anything.Ern and Leeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02222918254913939721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228678769273144852.post-22093978427575547732011-03-20T12:31:45.546-07:002011-03-20T12:31:45.546-07:00My only thing with Pia is that she's sooo earl...My only thing with Pia is that she's sooo early 90s adult contemporary! Snooze. She sang Celine and Whitney, so Mariah must be next, yes? I think your Stepford comparison is apt. <br /><br />I think we agree on Casey, but I'm also a fan of Stefano and Naima! There are at least four contestants this season that I have strong negative opinions about (Haley, James, Scotty, and Jacob), but I find both Stefano and Naima interesting and talented, based in large part on their brilliant wild card performances. Naima's especially never really got the praise it deserved, but it's worth multiple viewings. Yeah, she's been "pitchy", but that reggae bit to "Umbrella" was the coolest thing we've seen on the Idol stage all season. <br /><br />I respect and understand your grades, though.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362531837161699207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228678769273144852.post-48453035724581977142011-03-18T06:15:53.420-07:002011-03-18T06:15:53.420-07:00This just confirms our theory that classical music...This just confirms our theory that classical music and rock go together. It's for people who like their music powerful and incendiary. People who merely want to be amused and calmed listen to country, pop, or folk, etc. People who want to party, dance, and drink go for electronic or rap/hip hop. Maybe that's a generalization, and most people like a little of everything. <br /><br />Karen had a nice voice, but the Spanish stuff would only appeal to people who are hardcore proud of their Hispanic heritage. We guess those people don't pick up the phone. Spanish is a beautiful language to sing in though. One of us like's Pia better than Lauren and hopes she wins.Ern and Leeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02222918254913939721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228678769273144852.post-34687920267127702562011-03-18T04:46:22.591-07:002011-03-18T04:46:22.591-07:00Another good analysis.

It was the signal that something had changed, and within a short time hair bands were dead. Cobain, like him or not, was a musical genius. Casey did an OK job, but he ain't Cobain. Considering his serious medical issues with his stomach this week, though, I was impressed with his performance (not vocals).<br /><br />Outside of classical music I'm a rocker through and through, and I do hope and pray that James can make it to the finals. He has the chops (love the Dio comparison; one of the best rock singers of all time). Is he the best looking, performer, etc? Nope, but I would pay to hear that voice live. If we could combine Casey's peforming with James' vocals, oh, what a star that would be. <br /><br />Tickled my heart to see Karen go. There is a God. <br /><br />Starting to like Pia's voice more than Laurens which I did not think possible based omy biases. She has a real chance to upset here.Jim Zadroznyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14818201398811103664noreply@blogger.com
