The Elimination of Ben Briley.

I was kind of anxious to see tonight’s performers, because we all get to FINALLY see Harry ‘Mr. I-Know-Everything-About-Music’ perform his unknown music. Since Harry seems to criticize every small thing about the contestant’s performances, I couldn’t wait to see what he can do. Harry sucks as an Artist. (Laugh out loud.) He can’t sing in my opinion, the best he can do is play the piano. His singing voice is so dry and low. Where did Idol dig him up from? SERIOUSLY?  

The second guest performer of the night was an Artist by the name of Mali Music; he performed his single ‘Beautiful’. I enjoyed it, although I’ve never heard of this Artist, which gives me more reason to do research on him. Apparently he’s a Singer, Songwriter, and Producer. He’s been pursing music strongly since 2002, when he released his first album. He has an upcoming album to be released in May, and you also can follow him on twitter @MaliMusic.

The bottom three contestants of the night are Ben Briley, Majesty Rose, and Sam Woolf.

Tonight the bottom three was bittersweet. It was some good and bad in there, which lacked in the past couple of weeks. This week I feel like America slightly got it right. I would have liked to see someone who didn’t go into the bottom three go home, but since they didn’t, the next weakest contestant was up. Ben Briley was the least voted contestant this week, nor did he get the judges save. Ben was an okay contestant, although I honestly feel like he should have been left in the stage before the Top 13. There was nothing spectacular about him. In spite of that, I wish him nothing but the best though, I wish him success with his career and so on. Good luck Ben.

See you guys next week.

The Elimination of Emily Piriz.

This week was seriously not that entertaining. I agree 100% with what Jennifer said last night. For whatever reason, this year’s contestants seem to not be giving their performances their all. In the past seasons, most of the contestants left their hearts on the stage, singing as if it was their last. I loved that. What actually happened to that? That’s a question that only the current contestants could answer.

Phillip Phillips, American Idol winner of season eleven was one of the guest performers tonight. His performance was pretty good. The performance was very live and entertaining. I don’t follow his career, but I am assuming it is doing great considering he’s currently working on a second album; he just performed his new single, and the fact that I often hear his ‘Home’ single on TV. Good sign. Keep it up Phillip.

The bottom three contestants of the night are Emily Piriz, Jena Irene, and MK Nobilette.

I am in disbelief with the bottom three yet again. This bottom three sucks just as bad as last week’s! Emily Piriz was the least voted contestant, and she also didn’t get the judges save. Yet another amazing talent voted off too early. Emily deserved to stay way longer, if not had won the whole thing. Emily’s voice and performances were nothing beneath great. I wish her the best, I hope she goes far. She deserves it. Good luck Emily.

Next week it is you guys. See you then.

The Elimination of Kristen O'Connor...

I’m starting this season’s blog off by saying that I am not satisfied with the top 13. The judges didn’t make the best choices with the Wildcards, nor did America get it completely right, especially with this season’s top male contestants. I also want to talk about Mr. Harry Connick Jr., I DO NOT care for him and his senseless choice of words. Most of you guys ridiculed my girl Nicki Minaj on the judging panel last season, when she didn’t deserve it in my opinion. On the other hand, Harry somewhat gets praised for CONSISTENTLY talking down on the contestants. I just don’t get it. Who is Harry anyway? I’ve never heard of him until now.

The guest performer of the night was the magnificent Candice Glover, American Idol’s season 12 winner. She couldn’t have looked or sung any better. Candice’s voice is just so amazing. I LOVE her vocals. I loved them last season and the love still remains. I actually meant to purchase her album earlier today, it kind of slipped my mind. I’ve heard tons of good reviews about her album, so I must hear it for myself. Obtaining that album will be the first thing I get to tomorrow. I must support my girl at any cost. I want to see her career get so much bigger.. 

The first bottom 3 of the season contains Malaya Watson, MK Nobilette, and Kristen O’Connor.

MK and Malaya returned to safety, resulting Kristen O’Connor being the least voted contestant. I really liked her, and I liked her voice, but apparently the remaining of America didn’t. As she sung for the save I just knew the judges wouldn’t use it on her, as they didn’t. It’s way too soon to use the save, and she hasn’t done enough for them to feel they should use it on her over the others. I wish Kristen the best. She can really sing, and she has the innocent glow about her that I think could take her far. Good luck Kristen.

Hopefully this was a lesson to the others.

See you guys next week.
