Dang. The judges just said everything I've been saying, but I guess hat will discount that.

when have I ever discounted your opinion?

all I watched was their first performances so far, grad school finals are stressing me out I got one more tomorrow morning then i'm done. as far as angie looking at the cameras and looking unnatural I think that may be a result of the criticism of no emotional connection, she is trying to force it. she needs to just ignore all that stuff and just sing.

if she is doing this well with the lack of emotion criticisms she will be pretty amazing once she gets it. I'm pretty confident it will be an angie vs Candice finale which I think is the right call. I hope Candice wins it, the winner usually gets handcuffed with their first cd and they put out crap. angie needs artistic freedom she has a great voice and is a musician also, I think she can make a great record if she isn't forced into the commercial pop genre like so many AI contestants have been.

with round 1 kree had one of her worst performances to date, song choice may have been a factor but I just wasn't impressed. angie shined imo one of her best if not her best without the piano. jimmy said going without the piano was a mistake but I feel she has to every once in a while or people will start complaining all she does is play on it. Candice had another consistently solid performance nothing much more to say she is a terrific vocalist. overall I give round 1 to angie
