Idol 8 Wild Cards
(Clockwise from Top Left: Megan, Jasmine, Ricky, Anoop)
Best - Great voice and control, good stage presence.
• Ricky Braddy
Next best - Decent voices; lousy songs or weird stage presence.
• Von Smith - Jesse McCartney looks with a far better range, people make fun of his wide open mouth singing, comes across as phony like a theme park attraction singer rather than recording artist.
• Anoop Desai - bad song, "drunken fratboy" vibe
• Tatiana Del Toro - sung the song ok but bizarre persona
• Jasmine Murray - pretty, ok voice, lousy song choice
Meh - No thanks.
• Jesse Langseth - mediocre voice, bad hair, weird outfit and presence
• Megan Corkrey - nice, quirky look and vibe, not a great voice
• Matt Giraud - weak voice, bad song, too much the Timberlake imitator, way over sold
That said I suspect these to go through to the Top 12: Giraud, Anoop and Megan.
I’m not really liking this season. Kristen McNamara was just great and deserved a WC slot but her song choice (Gimme One Reason - Tracy Chapman) and “sound” was probably panned as too “old skool.”
While I see potential in Kris Allen, I really don’t see anyone clearly relevant to the current market besides Lil Rounds.
