Jenn Hirsh – American Idol 11 Preview (VIDEO)

I like her. The fact she is friends with Jes Hudak gives her extra brownie points for me! Jackie and Jes are incredibly cool:) 

If she doesn’t make it, the two of the ladies in the last video should audition for x factor next season :)…THAT’s a group the audience can get behind.  Very nice harmonies.

she is one i have been following since the spoilers came up :)
definitely one of my favs…i like other videos of hers better though. she can BELT it out.
I love that song from Castle though <3

She’s great! One of my favorites actually

does anyone know what city she auditioned in

I really like her, I hope she makes it to the top 24. I think she has a stronger voice than Lilly and Didi, which makes you wonder why they cut her in S9. I’m really liking a lot of the girls spoiled so far this year!

Seems very likable.  I think she should embrace the quirky nerd within and work that angle.  She kinda reminds of that chick from Karmin.

i agree about the quirky nerd angle. She will have to be careful to not channel  too much SIOBHAN.
I don’t see the Karmin thing. That chick is amazing but annoying.

Why didn’t she make the cut in Season 9? She’s lost a lot of weight, is my guess.  They MUST find a girl that can win this year, and the only way is a girl that is sexy enough to appeal to male voters.  It’s too bad that Pia has the personality of a vanilla wafer ;) 

A little of Siobhan’s quirkiness might not be a bad thing as long as there’s not much of Siobhan’s screaming.

Well…she definitely reminds me of season 9. I can’t imagine her winning at all. Maybe once I see her live I’ll change my mind.

The last video was definitely the best.  I’m afraid I liked the blonde better in that, though.  I have a hard time picturing her in the top 12.

I like her so much. I think you chose not so perfect vidios for her showcase though. she sings bigger than this stuff.

She reminds me of Lauren Turner and Lily Scott. Obviously talented but like someone else posted I can’t see her making top 12 unfortunately :/

Lauren Turner wasn’t cute and Lily’s voice was limited

I like her a lot, but I really don’t think that she will appeal to enough of the 47+ year-old Idol viewing/voting demographic to make it very far (I’m part of that demo, but I liked Adam, Crystal and Haley).

“This means for the third year in a row I will be typing out furious
responses that MJ will have to delete come May when she finishes second.”

Does this mean that you supported Lauren and Crystal?

Almost every year there is a talented but yet forgettable girl that doesn’t make it to the semi-finals. I’m getting that vibe from her. I do like her but I feel like the audience will be more into someone a little younger/more marketable. I don’t know how to explain this one lol I hope I’m wrong btw.

I’m 47, female, and I think she is just the kind of person I am hoping will win this year.  Cute, quirky, spectacular voice, and a GIRL.  Thanks for introducing me.  I skipped Season 9 and if she was on Season 10 I must have missed her.  And for some reason, maybe it’s the quirky edge, I think Steven will love her.

She kinda looks like Ashley Tisdale. Maybe its just me though, LOL.

She really does have the Sarah Bareilles quality to her voice.  She’s very good.  The third video is my favorite.  Her season 9 audition was quite good.  It’s a shame she didn’t make it onto the show that season.  I do vaguely remember her audition.  I have to agree with some of the comments above that she may unfortunately not make it very far on the show even if she makes it into the top 24 when you consider how quickly Katelyn and Lily were eliminated so early into the performance shows.  It seems that if a contestant is the least bit unique and different (in a good way) that their time on the show is cut very short by the voting public or they don’t win (Crystal).

Thanks gangreen29 for all of these vids. 

Liked her in season 9 (but I love jazz).  However, I wasn’t surprised that she didn’t make it beyond the first cuts.  That year, she pretty much represented herself as a jazz singer.  And as Leslie Hunt said after she got cut in season 4, “America doesn’t like jazz.”

This year, she’s representing herself as a singer-songwriter.  Which I think will get her farther.  But I think I’m going to miss the season 9 scat cat Jenn.

Okay, I have a new favorite. Girl’s got soul. Hope she gets far!

she has a lovely voice and i like her style. The song she wrote is good also.
Will be checking her

she graduated from Berklee

yup

She has a pleasant enough voice, but she doesn’t evoke a strong reaction either way, good or bad.
That could be a problem. She’s kind of forgetable.

i think jen will blow you guys away. i heard she is more of a powerhouse live…her indie singer songwriter stuff is very good, but not american idol winner material-i agree.
but i have heard that she can blow most of the other girls out of the water with the right song. hopefully she shows that on american idol, because i really like this girl.

her and elise testone are going to kill it this season

i think it will be cool to hear all of her styles collaberated
same with every contestant really

Elise is the one girl I actually look forward to the most. I feel like I have to see more of Jen as to what she does on the show. Honestly, aside from some small interest in Jessica Sanchez, I’m just not feeling the girls this year. :( 

The duet held me spellbound ’til the end….the others didn’t.

Really like this girl, has a real old time voice and has a great personality :D

Wow, I was waiting for someone to cover this Lil’ Wayne song. I enjoyed it!

I really liked the duet so much I bought the original song by Lil Wayne on my iPhone. I can’t believe he made that song, I love it.

Those harmonies are pretty good. I would want to hear her try to sing this but it seems weird to hear a white girl saying “poppin’ bottles and pimpin” and “bartending and strippin” :P. It sounds good when she sings it!

Hmmm. Mixed feelings here. She’s one I’ll have to watch to make a firm judgement. I hope she’s un-annoyingly quirky. She has a nice voice, but nothing wow for me yet. Didn’t like her season 9 audition, thought it was weird.

Quirky is fine.  Having loved Siobhan so much, I don’t know if Jen will match up in other areas, but she’s definitely talented.

If it’s going to be a female winner, she’s the one!
