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

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

*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.

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

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.
