American Idol Season 11 - Savannah - In This Song

American Idol is Back and I'm back to blogging. Sorry for being MIA for i think a month, there's a lot of office work and I'm not inspired (lol).


My favorite TV Show is back and I'm very much excited. And this is the first time i will cover this show.

The OBB is always amazing I like that aside form the winners, I saw some of the finalist from last season (like Pia, James,Lauren, Casey and Haley!) .

The First stop of the audition was is Savannah,Georgia!

The Premiere is good, there's a lot of great contestant and they gave airtime to a lot of contestant who made it to Hollywood.

So Here's my review of the people who make it to Hollywood :

David Leathers Jr.
He sang Remember The Rain, it was good but i felt his voice was not matured yet. I like his personality though.

Gabi Carubba
She sang Sunday Morning by Maroon 5. I like her, she has this natural voice, the song choice is great and she nailed it. Hope she makes it to the top 24.

Other contestant made it to Hollywood are Brianna Faulk, Neco Starr, Molly Hunt and Elise Testone.


Shannon Magrane
Steven Tyler comments FTW! She sang Something Got A Hold On Me by the Late Etta James. She is brave for singing that song, there is nothing special with her voice it was a little generic for me and it lacks control. BTW, I love her mom.

Amy Brumfield
Ok she lives in a tent. That's the sobbed story. Her voice was not my cup of tea.

Stephanie Renae
She loves Carrie Underwood and she sang Inside Your Heaven. The voice was kinda meh, i think that she's not ready but she has the potential if she wait 2 or 3 years more. Well, she got two Yeses.

Ashlee Altise
OMG! This girl is Crazy. I love her personality, she got the voice and the dance routine was very entertaining.

Schyler Dixon and Colton Dixon (Forced Audition)
Both of them already audition last season. Schyler was cut from Hollywood Week while Colton made it to the Top 40. The girl sang Breakeven by The Script, I think she nailed her audition I liked her tone. On the other hand, the force auditioned Colton sang Permanent by David Cook, it was good nothing extraordinary.

Lauren Mink
She is a teacher for special student, she is so sweet. She sang Country Strong by Gwyneth Paltrow. Her voice is really for Country Genre, and I think she nailed her audition performance.

W.T. Thompson
He got two Yeses. I don't like the audition, it was boring. Sorry!

Brittany Kerr
I don't get why J.Lo. said no to this gorgeous lady. Her audition piece showcase her voice, I love how the way she sings and she is beautiful. Thank You Randy and Steven for saving this girl (LOL).


And The Pimp Spot Goes to...

Philip Philips
He works for his father Pawnshop, Philip sang Superstition which is a little shout but really entertaining. Then he sang Thriller with his guitar which is amazing. This guy will be part of Top 40 or maybe Top 24.

NEXT STOP : Pittsburgh

Protégé - The Wildcard Battle


Lovely was the fifth Protégé voted out of the competition, after that, They announced that there will be a wildcard battle that can send a contestant back into the competiton.

GALA NIGHT:

The Gala Night was held at SM Fairview, the judges are all complete including Ms. Eula Valdez who is now a permanent judge throughout this season.

PERFORMANCE RANKING:

5. Rosalyn NavarroPower of Love
When she starts her performance it though that she can nailed it, but when she’s singing its a little bit nasal. Overall, it was a decent job.

4. Denise Ysabel BarbacenaTuwing Umuulan
I love her rendition; it was emotional and captivating although technically there are some flaws.

3. Lovely EmbuscadoI Believe I Can Fly
Her vocal range is insane. The performance was good although I feel that she over sing some parts towards the end.

2. Nomer Limatog Jr.Sweet Child of Mine
Nomer is really a showstopper his energy was really high every performance. The vocals were not perfect although it’s a little forgivable because he was singing a rock song.

1. Samantha Julaton FelizcoHow to Touch A Girl?
WOW! Best Performance of that Night! WHY? That performance was rare (because most of the time the song that a contestant performs should involve shouting), her voice was unique and that voice reminded me of Rihanna (Rihanna that can sing live.LOL).

THOUGHTS:

This by far is my favorite week, because the performances were really good, you can see that all of them wanted to join the competition again and show the people what they really got. Again, Great job to the Staff for the Wonderful Gala Night.


RESULT SHOW:

The First Five sing with their mentors, and I was shocked that Mr. Janno Gibbs was there to perform (lol).

After the Commercal Break, the result was announced,

Nomer Limatog Jr. and Lovely Embuscado were back in the competition.

Ok, the result was kinda expected because we all knew that this Wildcard Battle was not in the plan at all, it was a rush planned after Nomer got the boot and almost all the staff got mad and sad (rolleyes). And I think they made it two wildcad winners because they did not see that Lovely will be voted out in the competition. But Honestly, performance wise, Samantha deserved it more than the two because she really show what an artist she want to be and she nailed her performance.
