Tonight we said goodbye to Qaasim which is great to see the twitter save seems to be weeding out the weakest contestants. I am really enjoying this Idol twist so far. I hope it can take the place of the judges save next season. Anyway here is how I feel the Top 7 did this week:
7th - Rayvon Owen - Set Fire To The Rain: This was the performance that wasn't for Rayvon. Although I could clearly see the passion in his eyes while he performed the song I just feel the vocal was much too weak to make up for lost ground. I'm glad he got the twitter save, however I think 2 times is all he's going to get because the 6 contestants ahead of him are just in a league of their own. Status: Most likely going home.
6th - Jax - Poker Face: It pains me to put Jax this low. You have no idea. This performance of Jax's was not bad by any stretch of the imagination but it just didn't have that special spark I've gotten from Jax's previous performances. I hope America can keep those performances in mind when they vote this week, otherwise Jax may find herself in need of the twitter save. Status: Not Safe.
5th - Joey Cook - Wrecking Ball: This performance was really nice from Joey, there were times when I felt she struggled a bit for the notes. I think it was solid but there were others who outsang her and had real moments tonight while this was just a solid performance from Joey. Status: Not Safe.
4th - Nick Fradiani - Teenage Dream: This was by far Nick's greatest performance this week and I am so glad to seem him making so many strides forward this week. I was surprised that he wasn't in need of the twitter save but I was glad to see him move on because I think he deserves to go far. I think he really needs to learn how to connect a little bit more like he did during "Babylon" in Hollywood Week. I hope he can do that next week if he survives. Status: Not Safe.
3rd - Clark Beckham - Make It Rain: Okay this seems to be my controversial choice because almost everyone put Clark first saying this was better than "The Trouble With Love Is". I thought it was solid and just okay at the beginning. Once he got into the song towards the end and really got into the grit and emotion behind the song I was like "okay there's the Clark I know and love". Last week in my opinion was just better from him. None the less I think he did another great performance. Status: Safe for the week.
2nd - Quentin Alexander - Latch: This performance was such a moment from Quentin. I am so happy to see him do so well especially with an uptempo which he hasn't done many of and the last time he did an uptempo it resulted in him needing the judges wildcard save. Never the less this performance really showed what Quentin could do in the competition. I think if he keeps this up we may be seeing him on tour. Status: Safe for the week.
1st - Tyanna Jones - Stay: She's baaaaaaaack! This was so beautiful from Tyanna. There literally are no words to describe how amazing Tyanna did tonight. I think this may have been one of the Top 2 performances of the season thus far. I am so glad to see Tyanna in her element and so connected to the lyrics. This is the Tyanna I've been waiting for to blow everyone out of the water with her performances. Status: Safe for the week
