Janell, who had one bright moment during Hollywood week with Estelle’s “American Boy,” was completely swallowed up by “What About Love” and didn’t have the vocal chops to match Ann Wilson - but who does? Oh, yes. You never sing Heart - well, unless you’re Carrie Underwood and you can do the song justice. Instead of improving, Simon noted Ashley was “going backwards.” Ashley took the news with a few tears. Thankfully, they took her down a few notches in their critique of her performance of Leona Lewis’ “Happy” last night. Doesn’t help that the judges encourage this thinking by letting her slide by on her glossy brunette hair and wide smile. Ashley has a real problem with picking big songs that point out the weakness in her voice - obviously she thinks she’s better than she is. Sadly, commercial these days means mediocre but marketable. Wow! I’ll be excited to see it actually come out if she makes it through next week.Īshley Rodriguez: Ashley is the girl the judges swooned over for her great commercial look and sound. Apparently, Paige has “the best voice” of all the girls, says Simon. The judges aren’t very pleased, but they blame song choice. Talk about a set up to being forgettable! Her choppy performance of “All Right Now” didn’t do much to keep her in our memories. She got little camera time up to this point, and she kicked the show off. Paige Miles: Poor Paige was put in an extremely tough position. Here’s a run-down of how the top 12 girls did: Others had a tougher time, like country singer wannabe Haeley Vaughn, who had a nice arrangement for her Beatles track, but screeched and cawed her way through it. But there were a few shining moments like platinum-haired quirky pixie Lilly Scott, who took on The Beatles, and bohemian babe Didi Benami, who pulled the right song for her voice straight out of the box. Song choice proved tough, getting comfortable on the big stage even tougher. Didn’t exactly get that impression last night. There was a bit of pressure on the girls after Cowell told the press he feels a girl could win it all this season. The top 12 girls performed last night in the season’s first live performance episode in front of a studio audience, America, and judges Randy Jackson, Kara DioGuardi, Simon Cowell, and Ellen DeGeneres, who warmed her judge seat in this fashion for the first time.
