You're kidding, right? That song is a standard, made famous by Nat King Cole....
As far as her performance, well, she had nice energy, but the entire song was performed at the same level. And her nose is incredibly distracting and truly ugly. The thing is, if she makes it beyond this round (which I think unlikely), she'll become known enough that she wouldn't be able to get it fixed without people noticing.[QUOTE]
I have loved Orange Colored Sky since college and didn't even know it was a Nat King Cole song. A teacher used to play it. But it was a bad song choice for Katie -- it made her sound a little too musical revue. But I can't believe I never noticed that nose until you all mentioned it. I think she has a fun voice
None of the guys impressed me at all last night. Randy was right about Matthew -- he is cute but doesn't have the pipes to compete with even the others in his group. Marque and Erskine didn't pick the kind of songs that would showcase their strengths. I've forgotten their songs from last week so I can't decide whether I want either of them to move on.
Ashley has a nice voice but didn't wow me. I think she's done. Diana is young and it shows. But she can sing better than a lot of other teen girl singers with recording contracts.
I don't know why, but I like Jennifer Hudson even better than Fantasia though Fantasia has more stage presence.
Do they sing to tape tracks or live accompaniment? For several of them, it sounded like the accompaniment was setting the pace and not the singer and made the singer sound rushed. That would irritate me.
