    The TV shows round that Jessica is doing is for Idol and not for her album release.  This is just to remind folks that after the IDOL TV Show there is an upcoming IDOL LIVE tour . And there will be kids like Jessica who can entertain you with their singing… that is all…bonus for Jessica is that she will be remembered as the that girl who has the big  voice… so when its time for her to promote her own album.. hopefully folks still remember her…

     ”Here is the thing with Jessica- we all agree she has a beautiful voice.
    BUT- without some pretty phenomenal material, where will she go?”

    This is certainly true. But I’m wondering about whom it’s *not* true. I really really haven’t heard many people in my life who can actually save a meh song. And that goes double for a meh song that they’ve only known about for a few days and that has to be sung on live national tv in a version that’s two minutes long. Bad and meh songs sink singers more surely than anything else. There’s a reason why some of the same songs get covered over and over and over and over again. Good songs are rarer than good singers.

    She should have done a different song. She has lovely, technically proficient vocals…but doing material ala’ Whitney et al., will only reinforce the belief that she is an astute and well trained mimic. She needs some good original material (or to perform some songs that are not quite so popular, not so quintessentially Whitney or Beyonce, etc.
