Sorry, I'm old school, and I wish these videos had subtitles to them, so I could better "comprehend" what they're saying.
@JoeTranch @amandanoa No need to explain. It won't matter anyway, because I don't see any of the three women having a runaway hit on the charts.
@jbeee I totally agree about the lyrics. She's not a good songwriter. Musically, it's good, but lyrically forgettable.
@lee233 they will focus mostly likely on a guy with a guitar theme -- And the audience (bloggers) will complain again.
As Slezak wrote, don't write AI off just yet. There's still life in the old girl. It's 12 years old. Star Search only lasted 12 years. Is the Simpsons still showing?
Someone elsewhere made the comment -- and I agree -- there is no need for 2 hours of show 2 nights a week! None whatsoever. How about what DWTS is doing? One show, 3 hours, the results show built into the show? People don't have time to invest in 4 hours of TV anymore. Going back to S1, the results shows were 1/2 hr., then they went to 1 hr, and now they're 2 hours! The Audience is lost in those 2 hours! And then to have 4 judges (ala XF) instead of sticking with three? What's with that? What's a 4th judge going to bring that 3 can't?
The talent wasn't that deep and wasn't that interesting. And does anybody else notice, that Ex-Idols are ending up on other talent shows? Still trying to get their 15 minutes of fame. The one thing that Idol has over the competitors -- they can still make stars of contestants.
By putting all 3 girls' CD's out I'm sure the company is looking at sales to see who they will push. This is so POP SMART, and she is faraway from sounding like a church girl or even an R&B singer. It almost sounds like something that Mariah would sing... Not sure this is her path, because her voice neatly fits into jazz. It's a radio-friendly song. Not sure it's going to burn up the charts, and she'll have to get on the Urban Charts.
Just watched the Mariah medley, and talk about boring! It sounded like one of those infomercials for top 40 hits.
Like the music, not the lyrics....who the he**ll is she singing too? I guess she's singing to God? The lyrics need a lot of work....very pedestrian!
@KariCook @AdrianS Well one thing that has changed is how quickly the single CD's are on the market, well before the tour. So it gives the public time to know their names and their sound.
Candice's new song is so totally NOT R&B and jazz, which is what I thought she would do. It's a nice song, very radio friendly.
But like you, I'm afraid that Interscope doesn't know how to promote AI female singers. Not like RCA-Clive Davis. But we will see if this happens for her.
BTW, Candice does not have a "personality" and I think that may help her more than the vocals or the songs. You get "personality" with Janelle, Amber and Angie, but not with Candice.
Listening to her new single and it's very POPISH, totally not jazz or even R&B.
How sustainable is JLO's career singing those type of songs? Sorry, but she needs to find a good movie to star in.
I don't want to start a rumor that's not true, but the moderater stated that Aretha had cancer. Please verify your statement:
Miss Aretha Franklin. She’s got CANCER and she’s still singing circles around most of tonight’s performers. When you got it, you just got it.
OMG, Aretha and Franky Valli....longggg careers and still in perfect voice.
Hello? Aretha has CANCER? When did this happen?
Boy on boy Jennifer and Candice....Holy cow!
Thanks for the vids, I missed the show. Amber has the better voice, and I love Janelle's performance-ability. I was not impressed with Mariah lip-syncing, but it's a way to "save the voice." I think Amber is a bit "over-confident" and it could get her in trouble in the business. It's either seen as good or bad, depending.
I don't think that AMBER quite got the "song's" message, it's a bit spiritual and Emile was performing it that way. Amber, while the best vocalist IMO has a lot of maturing to do.
@IdleTime Amber is a very very good singer. She can sing the telephone book, and she's about as close to Whitney as a young singer will get. I love that she is a musical historian.
@Mikhail XO @Trey_ It's a big nothing until you consider that she and that other athlete who recently came out -- came out when they had become super duper millionaires and were secure money-wise. Why didn't they "come out" in the beginning of their careers? This happens to all the gay people. Nothing upfront....only when they got to the pinnacle. Just saying.
I was just at thr.com and there's nothing there or on deadline. I think he's blowing smoke. But he wants to be an actor REAL bad....ala will smith.
