AI - praised performances that you... didn't like

[David]

Are there any performances that received a lot of praise from the judges and the fans that just didn't excite you as much?

Here are mine:

-Constantine Maroulis - Every Little Thing She Does is Magic - I never really got the buzz about this performance. It seemed very average/lackluster for me.

- Nadia Turner - As Long As He Needs Me - To me, one of the most random, forgettable performances, but the judges really seemed to love it.

- Vonzell Solomon - I Turn To You - No clue why, but it didn't really touch me as much as her others.

- Jon Peter Lewis - Jailhouse Rock - Yeah Simon didn't like it, and he did get eliminated because of it, but Paula and Randy loved it, and it surprised me, because this is one of my least favorite JPL performances for some reason.

Others I don't feel like giving reason to:
-Nikko Smith - I Want You Back
-Nikko Smith - Georgia on My Mind
-Fantasia Barrino - It's A Miracle
-LaToya London - Someone Saved My Life Tonight
-Amanda Avila - Turn the Beat Around
-Anwar Robinson - Moon River
-Anthony Fedorov - I Knew You Were Waiting

Vonzell Solomon - Don't Leave Me This Way
The backup singers ruin Vonzell IMO, and this is another example of that. I thought it was one of her worst

Basically, every Fantasia performance. The judges praised her and said how amazing she was when i didnt find anything special about her.

Anwar Robinson- September
Judges liked it even though it got him voted off but i thought it was absolutley horrible.

Vonzell Solomon- I'm Every Woman
Another example of the backsingers ruining Vonzell's perfomance. Might be good if the backsingers werent singing half the song.

Mikalah Gordon- Young Hearts Run Free
I thought it was kinda boring

Nikko Smith- One Hand, One Heart
Im pretty sure the judges praised this one but i thought it was forgettable.

Scott Savol- Everytime You Go Away
For Scott, it was one of his better ones but it wasnt as good as the judges said IMO

I might think of more later

Broken Wing - Jessica Sierra. Ugh, seriously I hated the whole thing. Im not a country fan at all, but I loved Diana's version of it.

Big Band night - Fantasia. Paula crying and such, puhleeaase.

Wasn't Scott's last song on Idol also called "Everytime You Go Away"?

[Cactus Jack]

*slap* I guess this post is kind of like... getting back for that. Even though it's not intentionally getting back.

Anything of Mario's. I really did not understand his hype. I though he kind of sucked.

A great deal of Nadia's and Scott's, and most importantly, Carrie's earlier stuff that sucked ass. I was very confused why she got such good reviews when she sucked. But now she's good and the reviews aren't. WHY.

[¤I Love Clay Aiken¤]

Yup
By who? Ugh, total brain :fart: here.

[EmoJoe]

Whatever Scott's second song was on Top 5 week, that was the one i meant :lol:

[Brian]

Any Fantasia performance, especially "Summertime." Fantasia = overrated.

[Karen*]

Whatever Scott's second song was on Top 5 week, that was the one i meant :lol:

It was "Everytime You Go Away" by Brian McKnight. I think Anthony sang a classic with the same title. It was definitely NOT the same song though.

[vienna waits]

uh ANYTHING fantasia sang :lol:

ANYTHING ruben sang

[David]

more.

fantasia barrino - all my life
justin guarini - don't let the sun go down on me
nadia turner - i'm the only one
ruben studdard - over half of his
kimberley locke - her bee gee's night performances
josh gracin - over 75% of his
trenyce - have you ever

*bobo's*

[BewitchedForever]

haha! Aww your icon is so cute *gushes over it!*. Paula rocks, I am so bummed about those rumors. I dont like that Corey Clark dude.

[Krisalicious]

uh ANYTHING fantasia sang :lol:

I agree 185%. She is WAY overrated. But let's see....if I had to be specific I'd say:
- Summertime: Yeah, at the most it was GOOD but I just don't see how it was WHOA AMAZING and how that's "the best performance by any American Idol from any season"...are you kidding? They need to re-watch Natural Woman by Kelly Clarkson and try saying that again.
- her 2nd big band song...the Barbara Streisand one: yeah like Crystal said, boohoooohoo it brought Paula to tears, yeah okay it wasn't that great.
- I Heard It Through the Grapevine: I remember my ears felt like they were bleeding after I heard this -.- she screams a lot of the notes haha but erm yeah she tends to do that often, it just especially irritated me in this song though.
- All My Life: I don't exactly remember what the judges said, but in general I remember Randy and Paula liked it and Simon didn't. But I thought this performance was pathetic. The background singers sang like 90% of it, while Fantasia basically just threw in some "yeah's" every now and then.

Others:
LaToya London - Ooh Baby Baby: EW. This is probably one of my least favorite performances of all time. It's just so....BORING! :sleep2: and ugh I just couldn't believe how much praise she got for that one.

Nikko Smith - Incomplete: *SHRUG* I don't really know why I don't like this one. His voice sounds great and all but I don't know, something about it just didn't work for me.

Mikalah's audition: I dunno, I remember when I saw this for the first time I thought they'd immediately say no to her. She's so funny though :lol: "Dawg, dawg, do ya feel me dawg? Shoot, I might be white but it's just a birthmark!"

Carrie Underwood - Love is a Battlefield: I know a lot of you love this one but this is probably one of my least favorite of hers. It was just...all wrong. Simon was completely right with that kitten trying to be a tiger analogy.. she was really just trying to be someone she's not that night.


More, that I don't feel like explaining:
- most of LaToya's performances
- Ruben Studdard - Flying Without Wings
- Jasmine Trias - You're All I Need
- any of Scott's that the judges thought were good :lol:

[Karen*]

Most of Carrie's performances never really struck a chord with me. :mad:

[EmoJoe]

Ooh i forgot:

Constantine Maroluis- My Funny Valentine

LOL, I don't really remember that performance. I wonder why that specific performance made it to the Showstoppers CD.
