American Idol 8 Top 11 – Alexis Grace “Jolene”

Alexis Grace chose “Jolene” by Dolly Parton which didn’t surprise me too much but I didn’t like the arrangement or the performance.   It was okay but it could have been a lot better.Randy said there were a lot of pitch problems and the arrangement didn’t quite work.  Kara said that it sounded like Alexis lost her edge a bit.  Paula said it was more effective than Randy and Kara said because she took an artistic approach and showed different sides of her voice.  Simon thought it was “okay” and unoriginal.
