Creighton and Jeremy has been the only two decent ones right now.

Why do they keep saying everyone has a great voice? On my TV there have been a LOT of pitchy moments and nothing “over the top” as one of the judges just said. Does it sound better, perhaps in person than on TV? Personally the only guy that was exceptional was our own dude from Atlanta. Really entertaining and on key the whole time.

They pretty much said Creighton is gone. BTW I love Chase. He is my choice so far.

Atlanta Native, that’s why I feel we’re experiencing Invasion of the Body Snatchers when it comes to the judges. They’ve lost their creative minds and their hearing for a good voice. They would never make it on The Voice.

Miss Javon bless your heart! No, I don’t have a sweet addiction (not from around here are ya? recognize sarcasm) I agree, earlier it appeared the guys were gonna be strong, but I haven’t seen any that really stand out yet….I don’t know if it song choices or they just aren’t as good as they seemed to be?

Yes Pitchy…wrong songs all around. I’m seeing the positive side of theme night now. Good music is never out of style….it will showcase the real talent and I do aleady have my faves…Colton Dixon to start! Creighton Fraker is looking good as well.

Creighton at least has identified himself as an artist, and did a fair job with the material.
But unless we see something distinuishable from some of the remaining acts, this is going to be just a popularity contest among genres and age groups.

He’s butchering a Phil Collins classic (IMO = In My Opinion). What is he going to do for the infamous drum roll part??

KatJ…attempt to outwit…fail. Phil Phillips…GREAT rendition of Phil Collins!

Ok, it was eliminated.
I am done with these judges…they have all lost their minds. What did they discuss in the conference room before this show aired. Do they not think the viewing audience is STDH’s (shaking their damn head’s) tonight?

I wanted to support Phil – the GA guy – but I thought that was awful….

Pitchy! You not like? Now nobody does it like Phil but I thought that was an interesting out-take. My bad.

Phil_Phil will be in the top 6/7, either by vote or by Widcard – you can bet on it.

Geez, what was Phillip Phillips thinking?
Miss Javon
February 28th, 2012
9:21 pm
He’s good but he is in the WRONG key…off an entire octave. Poor kid…I wanted him to be good.
Pitchy

He needs more strength in his vocals for this song. It’s lackluster for me.
Miss Javon
February 28th, 2012
9:21 pm
ewww…the more he sings the more off-key….

Pitchy

Miss Javon, I have to agree. Yes, wrong key.

Eben is this year’s David Archeleta type of entry for the show. He will have a spot in the top 6/7 boys slot as well.

I’m sad about Eben. I liked him in the earlier rounds. Expected him to do better tonight. Too bad. Don’t see how he could get through to the top 12.

Wow, I think it will need to be all girls. So far no guy stands out. Who are these judges listening to?

I agree that Deandre is a definite to go home.

Deandre was bad, but his hair is good for a few votes. Americans are shallow.

I knew he would be the best singer from what we have already sampled….WAY TO GO.

Phil Phillips was awesome! It made me not want to hear the Phil Collins version ever again.

What were the rules for tonight? What songs were they allowed to choose from?

HeeJun best so far.
Miss Javon

He has a good voice but I feel like I’m watching Sunday morning evangelical…give us your money! Weak.

WTH, just about everyone didn’t pick the right song. Again, the Pod People are sitting at the judges table. IJS = I’m just saying!

Have to go with the judges…bad song…goes back to what we said earlier…these guys are choosing the wrong songs.
