Round of 24 - Guys February 25 |
|
You've heard the auditions.
We've gone through Hollywood Week. We've finally
whittled it down to the final 24. From here on out, you
steer the ship. You decide who stays... and who goes
home. And the countdown to LA Live begins right now...
in Detroit?! DETROIT
SHOWCASE As a reminder, these are
the 12 guys who will be singing tonight.. The ladies will perform tomorrow. The results of your vote will be revealed next week, and we will be down to your top 16. As per usual, you'll hear what the judges think about a performance and what we think... which promises to be brutally honest because two of us have perfect pitch. Contestants will be given freedom of any song they wish. Right now, though, ADAM EZEGALIAN (21; toy designer; Wantagh, NY) is going to kick it off with the Motor City rock of Twisted Sister's "I Wanna Rock". WHAT THEY SAY: Jennifer called it contagious. Harry said it worked. Keith... well, who knows what he said. WHAT WE SAY: ... Stick to your day job. Next up, Michael Simeon (21; farmer; Lumberton, MS) with Michael Bolton, switching it slow with "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You". WHAT THEY SAY: Harry said that he needs to sing in tune. Jennifer enjoyed it. Keith says he stayed in the moment. WHAT WE SAY: Sounds constipated. Given that Ed Sheeran is popular, he'll get a pass. Savion Wright (22; student; Jasper, TX) got a no last year. He'll give it another go tonight with Train's "Hey Soul Sister". WHAT THEY SAY: Harry said it started unfocused, but it honed in. Jennifer says to keep your eyes on the camera. Keith didn't think that song choice did him any favors. WHAT WE SAY: weak. Mark Andrew (29; landscape foreman; Eden Prairie, MN) was on "The Voice" a few seasons ago, but tonight, he's on the blue stage with The Band's "The Weight". WHAT THEY SAY: Keith thought it was a good song for him. Harry agrees. Jennifer thinks he's got a chance at this. WHAT WE SAY: We finally found someone who has played to this strengths. Trevor Douglas (17; student; Fort Worth, TX) wants to be the next Bill Nye. Will he have the science to groove on Gavin DeGraw's "Best I Ever Had"? WHAT THEY SAY: Keith liked the stage presence. Jennifer thought the song was just "okay". Harry said that the vocal wasn't as good as the performance. WHAT WE SAY: Very breathy. Not good at all. We go into halftime with Clark Beckham (22; street performer; White House, TN) with Percy Sledge's "When A Man Loves a Woman" WHAT THEY SAY: Jennifer: "Goosies all day." Harry thinks that he's really talented. Keith thinks he's a contender. WHAT WE SAY: Surprisingly rangy. Going into the second half with Rayvon Owen (23; singer/vocal coach; Richmond, VA) with Nick Jonas' "Jealous". WHAT THEY SAY: Harry says that he's elegant, handsome, and likable. Jennifer needed a little more attitude. Keith liked the falsetto. WHAT WE SAY: It's a song that fits his range. He also commands the stage. Up in #8... our youngest competitor, Daniel Seavey (15; student; Portland, OR), with "I'm Yours" from Jason Mraz. WHAT THEY SAY: Keith likes the song choice. Jennifer thinks he's "beyond adorable". Harry thought that there's some great talent. WHAT WE SAY: Give him another year. We've reached the final four with Riley Bria (18; student; Spring Hill, TN), a man who played with Keith, and Eric Church's "Homeboy". WHAT THEY SAY: Jennifer says that he's a good combination of "sweet" and "edgy". Harry says he reminds him of Keith. Keith thought the song choice was pretty spot on. WHAT WE SAY: Really hard to listen to, but there's no other country artist tonight, so he's going to survive. If only we could. From Keith Suburban, we
have Quentin Alexander (20; retail associate; New
Orleans) with Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put A Spell On
You". WHAT WE SAY: Nice original take for an original person. Nick Fradiani (28; musician; Guilford, CT) gets us going with "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran. WHAT THEY SAY: Keith liked the song choice. Jennifer thought it was one of the best tonight. WHAT WE SAY: Nice voice. Very mature. But like half of the guys on stage: hot guy with guitar. Closing us out today: Qaasim Middleton (20; musician; Brooklyn) is going from Nick's "The Naked Brothers Band" to Mark Ronson & Bruno Mars' "Uptown Funk". WHAT THEY SAY: Jennifer loves him. Harry says he left it on the stage. Keith says he killed it. WHAT WE SAY: ... It's a good closer song. That's really all we can say about it. Motown: Michael, Mark,
Clark, Rayvon, Riley, Quentin, Nick, Qaasim We'll see how America voted next week. Meanwhile, it's onto the ladies. For more information on the contestants, or to watch this episode in its entirety, go to americanidol.com |
