Totally different show than last week. One amazing performance, one sucky one, 3 so-so ones and 3 decent ones.
The last contestant, Latoya, made me wish I had taped the show so I could listen to her again. I'll have to tape tomorrow. She was impressive from the first notes. It is much more difficult to sing softly but with intensity than to sing loudly and she nailed it. I even called in to vote for her. She is my favorite from the first 3 weeks.
The big Hawaiian guy gave the only sucky performance and I thought the judges were kind to him. The other two guys and the North Carolina girl gave so-so performances. They sounded nice but nothing special. My guess is that the second person to advance will be either Amy (pink hair; Simon thought she sounded like a cabaret singer), Elizabeth (the first one; good stage presence) or Leah (the 17 yr old whose parents were Romanian pop stars). Leah had some pitch problems but the judges liked her and Simon said she had potential.
