Hello,
Thanks to ew.com's Michael Slezak for pointing out Mishavonna Henson's debut ep. It's called "From The End of the World". Thanks to napster.com I listened to it twice this morning, it's good. I particularly like the first song, "Stand Back". She was on "AI" Season 8 and she got short shrift last season. She appeared as high as #6 in my Top 11, even though she was eliminated by that point.
Here are some potential chart busters for next week: Michelle Delamor, Lloyd Thomas, Sioban Magnus, Charity Vance, Tisha Holland, Michael Lynch, Jess Wolfe, Dawntoya Thomspon, Rachel Hubbard and Jeff Goldford. Since "A.I." only features a few of these each week I don't know the fate of some of the above mentioned candidates.
10) Haeley Vaughn (debut), she was a possible chart buster last week. The 16 year old has been impressive so far in singing Carrie Underwood's "Last Name" and Taylor Swift's "Change". She's trying to be a comtemporary black country singer.
9) Andrew Garcia (debut), he was also on my last possible chart busters list last week. The 23 year old has done a good job in what we've seen of him so far. He impressed with the audition with Maroon 5's "Sunday Morning". He then put a very unique twist on Paula Abdul's "Straight Up". He made an 80's song sound current, I think his version could be a hit. Both versions of that song are great.
8) Luke Shaffer (lw: 2), he's this high based on his fantastic audition song. He sang the very cool "Fall For You" by Secondhand Serenade. Here's my question "A.I." producers where is he? If he got cut someway along the way, can't you let us know? At least by posting it on your should be a lot better website?
7) Todrick Hall (lw: 3) He was awesome in the "AI" round singing his own original, which I call the "A.I." song. He also was in one of the groups that sang "Bad Romance". Although he's insanely cocky, he does have a nice voice. Thank you "A.I." producers for showing him.
6) Tasha Layton (lw: 9), in the audition round she sang Joss Stone's "Baby, Baby, Baby". In Hollywood Week 1, we saw her in passing a couple of times. We never got to hear her sing though. Aargh!
5) Katie Stevens (debut), she's also exiled from last week's potential chart busters list. She has a pretty amazing voice, from what we've heard so far. Her "At Last" in the audition round was okay. However her "For Once In My Life" in Hollywood Week 1 was very good with her showing off a fantastic voice.
4) Janeel Wheeler (lw: 23), she soared on the strength of her "American Boy". But her singing of "House of the Rising Sun" in the audition round was her best performance so far. She was also part of the group that sang Ne Yo's "Closer".
3) Didi Benami (lw: 6), she's rolling on the strength of her amazing take of Katherine McPhee's "Terrified". She also was pretty amazing in the audition round with The Beatles "Hey Jude".
2) Crystal Bowersox (lw: 18), she soared on her powerful version of Aretha Franklin's "You Make Me Feel Like (A Natural Woman)". (Shout out to Snickers for their pretty funny commercial which Aretha Franklin is appearing in now.) She must be old school as she sang Janis Joplin's "Piece Of My Heart" in the audition round.
1) Hope Johnson (lw: 1), another person we didn't get to see much of. We only saw her in conjunction with Mary Powers dramatics. She was awesome in the audition round with Martina McBride's corny "I Hope You Dance". She's #1 on the strength of that, even though we didn't get to hear her sing in Hollywood Week 1. She also sang "Dreams" in the group round, although we only heard a little of that.
Tonight starts the two parts of Hollywood Week 2, there's going to be an announcement of some of the Top 24 tonight. I wonder how many people are going to make the Top 24 that we've seen little or none of.
Enjoy, themusicaddict
