Now it’s Wednesday night and that means it’s time to watch the girls perform and see where it takes them this week. According to this week’s poll, you all feel like it should be Antonella Barba and Haley Scarnato to go home this week. Let’s get started and see how it goes.
First of all, why is Ryan Seacrest dressed like Mike Meyers as Deter from Saturday Night Live?
Jordin Sparks
Football is a huge part of her life, not a surprise given that her dad was an NFL player for the Seattle Seahawks. Jordin has picked “Heartbreaker” by Pat Benetar. She’s not doing too badly with it, but I don’t think the judges are going to like, at least not Simon. She looks about 5 years older tonight, and still really reminds me of Kimberly Locke.
- Randy: it’s like a different show when the girls sing, not your best performance, better than all the boys from last night, but not her best performance
- Paula: the energy she brought to the stage was explosive, she’ll be here a long time
- Simon: not quite as enthusiastic as the other too, a bit manic, and shrieky in the middle. 100% she will be here next week
Sabrina Sloan
When she was in high school she wanted to be the next Katie Couric. Sabrina is nailing a powerful song tonight that’s for sure. She’s bringing it vocally
- Randy: not his favorite performance, but she did well with the performance
- Paula: one thing that’s consistent, she can “sing, sing, sing”. Amazing instrument and looks beautiful tonight
- Simon: she’s a great singer, but lacking the emotion, a little bit robotic
Antonella Barba
Has played violin since she was 5 years old. A “no tone” ella is the one to go home this week according to the poll. I’m not saying she’s not talented, but she’s just not at the level the rest of the performers are at this stage. Boring. Let’s see what the judges think.
- Randy: pretty good song choice, still a little pitchy, he thinks she’s a better singer than she’s shown
- Paula: right song choice, with her range she needs to watch out, she’s “magic” in the higher range
- Simon: “you’ve gone as far as you can go”. She’s surrounded by some pretty amazing girl singers. Doesn’t think her voice is going to get any better. He actually mentions some of her media circus and says she’s done well maintaining herself through it all. He just wishes she could sing better
Haley Scarnato
She was a gymnast when she was younger. She dislocated both shoulders and left gymnastics. Another song I don’t recognize, but one thing this song does is allow Haley to show-off her vocal range and strenght. Sounds like she cracks and gets pitchy on a couple of notes. According to our poll, she’s one to go home this week. So far, it looks like it may be her and Antonella as the weaker performances.
- Randy: interesting song choice, okay, not jumping up and down. Just didn’t have any pizazz to it
- Paula: may not have been our favorite song, but she sang it well
- Simon: thought it was horrible, doesn’t feel like she’s made enough of an impact in the competition. He didn’t know her name
