He has a great voice...@Wallace - I agree on Clark. He has a great voice and gift but definitely is very introspective and I don't think it translates well to TV regardless of what the judges say. Then again, Carrie Underwood was called a "fembot" in her season but her voice was incredible and she had an appeal about her and it won over America. I can't compare Clark to Carrie at this point! <br /><br />I'm not as high on Adanna as you, but the judges do say that she is a force to be reckoned with this season. If she controls her performances better in the future maybe I'll see it. I think Qaasim may fizzle out. He showed his big moves and may not have much else to him. But we'll see! I doubt he's in danger this week though. <br /><br />We agree on Rayvon and Maddie. Definitely the weakest. We'll see which one is right on who goes home! As for bottom 3s....doesn't look like they're going to do that anymore. Maybe when the pool gets smaller they'll return to it because they'll have time during the 2 hours to get to it. <br /><br />Rankings - I don't think I've ever done a power ranking on these blogs (we'll I guess I indicate who's safe!). I've certainly read them before. It's too early for me to declare who's in the lead for winning the thing. I don't think Clark is quite there yet though. Let's see if I can come up with a slightly different list here. <br /><br />01. Tyanna<br />02. Clark<br />03. Jax<br />04. Qaasim<br />05. Quentin<br />06. Joey<br />07. Adanna<br />08. Nick<br />09. Daniel<br />10. Rayvon<br />11. Maddie<br /><br />Based on stage presence I have to give Tyanna the edge I guess. Jax is popular so she is up there for now. Same with Qaasim. But, if they keep turning in performances like last week, I'd probably drop them lower. I've made no secrets that I'm not a fan of Nick! But he is a boy with a guitar, so maybe that voting population is still out there. We'll see what happens!

Although Clark does have some skill, and I really like Quentin. If a girl were to win, I'd be fine with any of Tyanna, Jax, or Joey.<br /><br />Yeah, I'm curious to see what you have to say about my rankings and comments. :)Bella Blisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09222504752641947623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20543146.post-82255659904335322102015-03-17T19:25:26.367-04:002015-03-17T19:25:26.367-04:00Thanks for the comments Wallace! I'll comment...Thanks for the comments Wallace! I'll comment in mor me detail to your comments and rankings later but I had to say I'm always rooting for a girl to win. Too many dudes win this things lately. And the most successful winners were 2 females that I still support to this day. Though I don't really see anyone at this juncture that could rival the legendary kelly/Carrie combo. But that's usually the case!Mike V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07952930766822976058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20543146.post-89366776411264490152015-03-17T17:39:43.679-04:002015-03-17T17:39:43.679-04:00Also, for the record I'm rooting for a girl to...Also, for the record I'm rooting for a girl to win this year.Bella Blisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09222504752641947623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20543146.post-88676394314094328722015-03-17T17:32:16.279-04:002015-03-17T17:32:16.279-04:00LOL, I was reminded of Taylor's rendition of C...LOL, I was reminded of Taylor's rendition of Clark's song too. Clark was one of the best, but I feel like he lacks inspiration when he sings. He's clearly the strongest of the bunch, and probably has the best chance of winning as of right now, he just needs to keep that momentum going. Tyanna was phenomenal, and I think she's probably Clark's biggest threat at this point. Not much else to really say about these two, they're not going anywhere.<br /><br />Adanna and Joey were definitely the most pleasant surprises of last week. Adanna started as the odd one out in the Top 12, but is slowly climbing to dark horse territory. She's starting to match her singing control with her performance skills, which is good and necessary at this point of the competition. Joey was brilliant, her performance was a real game-changer, and I think she might be someone to look out for if she turns in more serious performances like that. Top 4 at this point.<br /><br />I'm very concerned about Jax and Quentin. They're two of my favorites this year, and they were both a little lackluster last week. Usually that doesn't mean much, but hey if one bad performance is enough to get Sarina eliminated, the same thing could surely happen to those two, especially since Quentin has technically been voted off already. These are the two I vote for, I am always psyched to see what they have in store, and I really hope America can look past one bad week and get them through. Jax has always been one of the most popular, so she SHOULD be okay... right? :/ I'm more worried about Quentin honestly.<br /><br />Qaasim... oh boy. What a mess. I like watching him but that was not good. Daniel was actually better than him last week. These two have pretty much established themselves as "the weak ones" of the top 12. But Qaasim has the NBB crowd to follow him, and his entertainment factor. Daniel's not leaving. Regardless I do think Qaasim might be in danger.<br /><br />Nick's been pretty consistent so far, and I think he's built a credible fanbase to get him on to a few more rounds. He's gotta give more winner-worthy performances though. He gives me a very Daughtry kind of vibe, and the dude has sick potential. He just needs to really put himself on the map.<br /><br />Rayvon and Maddie are arguably the weakest links of last week. The problem with these two is that while they're both good singers is that they lack star quality. They have the stage presence of a chair, and are growing more dull each week. And the fact that Rayvon also performed first is not a good sign. Maddie at least has the country following to get her by for a little while, but she needs to start stepping it up if she wants any chance of being a contender this season.<br /><br />So obviously Daniel should be the one going, for he's massively overstayed his welcome, but that ain't happening. I think Qaasim and Maddie should be the other two joining him soon. Regardless, this is how I see it playing out.<br /><br />Bottom 3: Maddie Walker, Rayvon Owen, Qaasim Middleton.<br /><br />Wildcard: Adanna Duru, Quentin Alexander (I hope not!)<br /><br />Going Home: Rayvon Owen. I don't believe it's his time, but it's just the most likely scenario I see occurring. Besides Daniel, he doesn't match up to the artistry or skill of the other guys in the competition, and he's also not as interesting.<br /><br />Also, just for funziez, my ranking of the people left based on how I think it'll play out:<br /><br />01. Clark Beckham<br />02. Tyanna Jones<br />03. Joey Cook<br />04. Jax Cole<br />05. Quentin Alexander<br />06. Nick Fradiani<br />07. Adanna Duru<br />08. Qaasim Middleton<br />09. Daniel Seavey<br />10. Maddie Walker<br />11. Rayvon Owen<br /><br />Any of the Top 6 are subject to change. :)Bella Blisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09222504752641947623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20543146.post-50994116230048056872015-03-13T14:23:07.309-04:002015-03-13T14:23:07.309-04:00Sometimes I pick what america will do, sometimes I...Sometimes I pick what america will do, sometimes I pick what I want! This week was a bit of a combination. lol<br /><br />I wouldn't be surprised at Daniel or Nick....Qaasim would be surprising just based on his last 2 performances. We shall see! <br /><br />For your comments..I basically agree with all of them!

At one point, my fiance asked of something was wrong with our TV because we were obviously hearing something different than the judges! lol<br /><br />I have to admit that I like Joey's performance! She showed she can really sing and still had a little quirkiness in there without being overwhelming with it.<br /><br />Not Clark's best performance, but he can sing unlike Qaassim which is where I was cringing the most! Jax didn't have a good night either, but she is still interesting. Adanna did better, and Tyanna is really good. Quentin is good, but personally, I didn't like the change up he did on that song. It lost something for me.<br /><br />Daniel just needs to go already! Nick makes weird facial movements when he sings that are distracting! <br /><br />I know you predict what America will do, but my choice for bottom 3 is Daniel, Qaasim and Nick. I wouldn't miss any of them!Leslienoreply@blogger.com
