24th: Shi Scott (-1): Oh Shi....after tonight's performance this is what did you in. I have never really been a fan of your voice but tonight established one thing for me, you are not the next American Idol.
23rd: Adam Ezegelian (-1): Adam is just not my kind of singer. I don't think he's horrible but I just can't get into his performances which is why he ends up here.
22nd: Daniel Seavey (-1): Daniel performed to the best of his ability, unfortunately his best is just not good enough to surpass his other competitors.
21st: Savion Wright (-3): Oh Savion, you fell hard this week based on your performance. I didn't care one but for. It was just so mediocre and did nothing for me.
20th: Qaasim Middleton (+4): Qaasim had his best performance so far this week which made me like him but not love him. He was better than all 4 people above him which is why he has moved up so congratulations on that!
19th: Shannon Berthiaume (-4): Oh Shannon, you showed so much promise with your progress throughout Hollywood week. Unfortunately I think you just weren't ready for the idol stage quite yet. In a way I really wish the judges had let you wait another year before advancing you to the Top 24.
18th: Alexis Gomez (+1): Congratulations to Alexis for moving up a spot. Alexis did a fairly great job moving the crowd with her performance tonight and I saw a lot of improvement on her side so I felt it should be rewarded. Great job Alexis.
17th: Maddie Walker (-3): Much like Shannon, I really wish the judges would have waited on advancing Maddie. They originally had it right on cutting her. Her performance was very bland tonight which is why she ends up here.
16th: Joey Cook (-4): I really didn't get Joey's performance tonight. I love her but this performance just didn't work for me which worries me if she were to advance to the next round on Idol. I really hope that she improves.
15th: Riley Bria (-4): Riley was good this week, I'm not saying he wasn't but he just didn't live up to the other contestants. I really hope if he comes back next week he blows us away with his performance.
14th: Trevor Douglas (-9): This was two weeks in a row that Trevor has disappointed me with his performance. He was one of the worst this week and I was really rooting for him which makes me sad. I really hope that if he is to advance he really steps it up otherwise I think he will be saying goodbye very shortly.
13th: Michael Simeon (-5): Michael was just okay this week. His performance did not wow me but on the plus side he did not make me bored. I think his song showed a lot of tone to his voice. I hope that if he comes back next week he picks a better song.
12th: Mark Andrew (+1): Mark stayed consistent this week on the show which is super important with all the talent that is on this season. I think he did well this week. If he stays on the show I hope that he picks a song he can really have a moment with.
11th: Adanna Duru (-2): Adanna was just okay this week. It wasn't her strongest performance but I did see the effort on her end. I hope if she stays next week she can bring another "It's A Man's Man's Man's World" Performance.
10th: Loren Lott (+10): And with our biggest jump it's Loren Lott. Loren had a really strong performance this week much like her "Skyfall" performance back in Hollywood. If she keeps up this really incredible momentum and stays where her voice is best she could be a real contender.
9th: Quentin Alexander (+7): With yet another big jump is Quentin Alexander, he wowed us all with his amazing take on "I Put A Spell On You". This song made me forget Casey Abrams' rendition which was kind of a big deal back in Season 10 (Yes as you all know I'm a Season 10 junkie). Quentin just brought a fresh and new perspective to the song which just made the song his own.
8th: Katherine Winston (+2): Katherine's performance was a bit back and forth with how good it was however I felt like she really gave the song a new way about it which I really enjoyed. I feel like she is going to grow if she continues in the competition and could have real moments if given another chance.
7th: Rayvon Owen (+10): Tied with Loren for our biggest jump is Rayvon whose smooth vocals on "Jealous" just made me fall in love with the song since I really hadn't heard it before and I was not a huge Nick Jonas or Jonas Brothers fan. Rayvon just held his own against some of the most talented of the Top 24 and I really can't wait to see what else he has in store for the competition. To me this is the moment he needed.
6th: Lovey James (-): Staying consistent in her spot is Lovey James, Lovey gave a strong performance to start off the show with. I really have enjoyed Lovey this season on Idol. I really feel like with the right songs she could be a standout on the show but if she picks the wrong song for her voice, I think she could be out in a bang.
5th: Tyanna Jones (+2): To be honest when I saw Tyanna's song choice I was in fear of her safety especially when the spoilers said that she did not deserve to close the show with the performance she gave. I don't know what that person was listening to because Tyanna KILLED it. I think if she stays on the right track she could do well in the competition.
4th: Nick Fradiani (-): Ugh this is where it gets insanely hard because all 4 of these guys had such strong performances. Yet again at #4 is Nick Fradiani. I loved Nick's performance this week and he stayed consistent. I hope he brings it again next week.
3rd: Jax (-): Yet again not moving up is Jax. Jax gave such a strong performance tonight but ultimately Sarina and Clark were just a hair stronger than she was. Like I said it is so hard to rank past 5th. I think Jax just needs to give us another "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" blow you away kind of performance to move up.
2nd: Clark Beckham (-1): Losing to Sarina by a hair is Clark Beckham. For me the only reason I am ranking Clark below Sarina is the fact that he needs to start thinking outside of his little soul/motown box and start bringing his own flair to more recent songs. I really hope he does that next week.
1st: Sarina Joi Crowe (+1): Coming in at my number 1 spot this week is Sarina Joi Crowe. Sarina brought it so solidly tonight with her incredible performance of "Mamma Knows Best" being an Angie Miller fan I am picky about who sings this song but to me this song showed Sarina's incredible range. I was so sad when it ended I just wanted to hear the whole song. Sarina owned the stage tonight which is why I think she is ranked #1.So there you have it. Week 1 and we already have a new #1 person. What are your thoughts on this season please let me know :)
