Although, I wouldn’t put Josh at the top of my own personal power list. Mine would look like this:
- Melanie Amaro – If Simon can Beyonce this girl up, she’s got a chance to take the whole thing. She’s the best singer in the whole bunch. But I’m still not convinced she can pass as a modern singer and I have yet to see her exhibit real star power. Nevertheless, she was fantastic last night.
- Astro – This little punk is…fabulous. His raps are clever and relevant. The question is, will a diverse American audience vote a rapper though to 1st place? I’m thinking no. But it doesn’t matter–he’s going to get signed anyway.
- Drew – Controversial. I know many of you found Drew’s performance last night boring. But, although I called for her last week to change it up this week, I didn’t mind that she sang another slow ballad. Her riveting vocals made up for not deviating from the usual. Also, there’s something to be said for establishing your style while on a singing competition. Better not to confuse the audience who will eventually be buying your records.
- Josh Kracjik – A million brownie points to Josh for actually, you know…singing rock music. This wasn’t a favorite performance for me from Josh, but he proved he could handle arena rock without being swallowed up. Impressive. This guy is going to go deep. Also, he needs to continue to choose his own songs.
- Rachel Crow – Uh. Rachel needs to pick her own songs too, because Simon has no clue. Rachel should be at the top of this list every week, but Simon is blowing it for her. Rachel is a fantastic singer who needs the right material to shine.
- LeRoy Bell – A fantastic, but old fashioned singer–LeRoy, unfortunately, lacks charisma. Unless, he’s so intimidated and afraid, he’s unable to show it. In either case, he’ll wind up a middle packer at best.
- Marcus Canty – Marcus is a great singer, one of the best of the bunch. But last night, he was clearly uncomfortable playing sexy rock god. I felt embarrassed for him. Why try to shove Marcus into an image that’s clearly unsuitable–unless they’re looking to bus him.
- Chris Rene – Chris is proving to be a weak singer, and his raps aren’t as clever as Astro’s. Chris was off to a strong start with his “Young Homie” audition, but he’s a middle packer at best now.
- Lakoda Rayne – These poor girls were thrown together against their will, and it shows. They aren’t gelling at all. And their faux country stylings are barely tolerable. They’re safe this week, but running on fumes.
- Stacy Francis – Stacy and her hysterical, off-key caterwauling need to go. Like NOW. If she ends up in the bottom 2, the judges will ditch her no matter WHO she’s pitted against. My prediction to go home.
What say you? How would you rank the contestants? Who do you think is going home?
