Alexis Grace
Let the hyperbole begin, Simon compared her to an early in the competition Kelly Clarkson. I think that’s a bit of a stretch but she was far and away the best girl of the night, and I think she has the potential to do really well.

A bunch of people have already told me “this should have been Anoop” or “this should have been Ricky” which I don’t think bodes well for Michael being a real threat to win the whole thing. I thought he was pretty forgettable, and got through mainly on name recognition from Hollywood and Auditions. With this being the only time you will see him prior to Top 12, he needs to really be good the first Top 12 show.

We all knew Danny would make it but there is a bit of a backlash starting as he really needs to not mention his wife anymore. Maybe a harsh thing to say, but he sang an inspirational song because of her, showed a picture of her, etc. And then when he got picked, he did everything but shove Tatiana off the stage before realizing he should embrace her to not look mean. I still think he’s a strong candidate but I’m not as sold as I was prior.
The problem with the first few rounds (where we whittle it to the top 12) is that out of 36 people, they really only have 7 or 8 really good ones who will move on to the top 12, another few who are decent and a lot of people who just aren’t as good. This week was the week of the “not as good” with only Ricky and Anoop really being worthy of being brought back for a wild card round. A lot of the other contestants were truly awful, I thought Casey Carlson was a good chance to be Top 12 when I first saw her and she bombed horribly and she was probably only the 3rd or 4th worst on the show. The wildcard made for a strange dynamic, with Ryan announcing “Anoop, you are leaving us tonight” and Anoop not caring because he must think that as the next closest runner up, he has to be in the wild card round. Strange, strange dynamic. Tatiana was strange too, because we already had Michael and Anoop announced as being 20k votes apart, and Alexis already going through. So you had to believe (with Tatiana and Danny the last two to choose from) that Danny had to have less votes than BOTH Michael and Anoop, and that Alexis also had more votes than him. Get what I’m saying? Doesn’t seem likely at all…
Terrible, terrible week with Stephen Fowler and Stevie Wright giving us two of the most awful performance ever and Tatiana being just creepy, like she got hold of some of Paula’s meds. I didn’t think she could be any worse but she was; creepy quiet Tatiana is even more annoying than loud Tatiana. It HAS to get better. The only redeeming thing this week is no one awful got through.
3 more next week, with the shows bumped back a day to Wed and Thur (I am assuming the president must be speaking on Tuesday).
