Group 2
01Gohan - Wow! After coming in fourth last season, you came back and showed you want to win! I loved this! Vibrato was controlled, and you rarely went flat, plus you hit most of your runs. However some of your runs were a little off, so I would work on those! Other than that I didn't have much to critique (not to mention that note hold towards the end was magic). Great job!
77sparks77 - Hey Mr. Improvement! I have to say last season I liked you, but couldn't get into many of your performances because you had a lack of control, however you seem like you have worked a lot since then, considering this performance was very solid and enjoyable. My advice though, would be for you to watch the low notes, and make sure you enunciate. Other than that very solid work!
Americanidolfan - I don't think you held back at all, which I loved and hated. I loved that you didn't hold back because it allowed you to showcase more in your voice and it showed that you have confidence. However it also unveiled your weaknesses and showed that you sometimes hit runs wrong, or sing through your nose. Out of those two things though, I would focus more on not singing through your nose, because you have a great voice underneath all of that, and you would kill in this competition if we could see that underlying tone. Still good job!
cancanpiano - Wrong choice for your audition. I mean, you have such an amazing tone, and voice in itself. However you lost your breathe in almost every phrase, and were unable to hit the notes in the chorus. I am 100% positive you can do better than this. You could of even done better with the song itself had you worked harder on getting it down. And if I had to pinpoint one of the spots where improvement could of been made specifically I would go with breath control. Because I do realize that you didn't hit most notes because of how low they were. But, that could of been corrected with a simple key change. I know you've got it in you, you just need to work to show it! Overall though it was pretty good!
deshonBannedisback - I think you have a nice voice! I've always thought that, and I have to say this song does showcase that. However it was a hit and miss performance. For the simple fact that although you hit some notes beautifully and effortlessly, some others were weak and flat. Still in my opinion the positives overpowered the negatives. Advice-wise I would say make sure you sing out, so everything can be heard. And Well done!
dragotistic - I think you have a great voice, as you've shown in past seasons. However you were definitely holding back in this song, and you tried playing it safe. And that made the runs a little sloppier, and caused some notes to fall flat. So my advice for you would be to push through your notes a little more so that you can showcase that vocal strength I know you have. Overall very solid job though!
EternalBlossom - I have loved your voice, ever since I first heard it. And this performance showcased why, beautifully. You have such a sweet soft tone, that really gives a song emotion, and I loved that with this song specifically. I also loved that you used some vibrato, and and showed your improved breathe control. However you do still need to make sure you don't go off pitch, or shake. With this performance though, those issues were minimal and you did a great job!
Owlb0ned - I think your voice suited the song beautifully! And you chose the right song for that purpose. However this song showcased a lot of your singing issues. It showcased your struggle for control as you shouted often. It also showcased your breath control when you cut off a phrase due to loss of breathe, and it showed your issue with tempo, as you sounded a little behind the instrumental. Now I want to clarify that I am in, no way trying to bash on you. I am just saying that in this competition before I have seen you do some amazing things, and i've seen some not-so amazing things. I think you really just need to
