I haven't watched in a few weeks, but I've been following it by word of mouth. I'm so irritated by the judges, though - Simon is the only one who says anything useful. Paula starts talking about Bo's personality for God's sake, which has nothing to do with his performance. Isn't that what matters? It's great that he's a nice guy, but it's totally moot here, other than that it may rack up some more votes, I suppose. My favorite part was when Randy said to Carrie "you can definitely, DEFINITELY sing!" He obviously had nothing constructive to say, but please. Of COURSE she can sing - I'm sorry, but whenever that guy speaks, he looks like even more and more of an idiot.
I think Bo is pretty talented, actually, but he needs to CUT HIS HAIR. When he sings a vibrato-ed note, though, his entire face tenses up. His vibrato is kind of grating, but that might be dangerous for him to sing that way, no? Carrie's pretty good too, and I think she'll win, though I'm not sure who I *want* or think deserves to win. I agree with Simon when he said she sounded like she was straining on that one part. I like Vonzell's voice a lot, but for some reason that I can't put my finger on, she seems to lack something the other two have; she has a ton of energy, but I feel like she has less presence.
