Wow tonight was full of amazing performances by the original American Idol, Miss Kelly Clarkson who took the stage and slayed the world with her audition song "At Last". Honestly tonight couldn't have been more perfect from almost everyone nailing their performances to Daniel's elimination which has been a long time coming. I am just so proud of all the contestants tonight and I can officially say the competition has begun.
8th: Qaasim Middleton - What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger): Okay there were quite a lot of things I liked about this performance. First Qaasim tried to do something different with the song to suit his lacking voice which was a plus. If he had just kept to the melody that he originally had it would have been just an okay performance. Unfortunately for himself, Qaasim tried to stretch out his voice into ranges he does not have which is what ultimately made this performance a trainwreck. Status: Most likely going home.
7th: Nick Fradiani - Catch My Breath: Nick was not bad by any stretch of the imagination. In fact on a normal night I would have ranked him middle of the pack. Unfortunately for Nick tonight everyone decided to give one of their strongest performances while he gave just an average one. I hope America keeps him around over Qaasim but I'm not holding my breath. Status: Not Safe.
6th: Quentin Alexander - Dark Side: There were parts I loved about this performance and then there were parts where Quentin missed the notes completely. I honestly can say that Quentin yet again brought it for the 3rd week in a row and I am so proud of him for tonight. Status: Not Safe.
5th: Tyanna Jones - Mr. Know It All: Like Quentin, Tyanna had another really good performance but she had some notes of the song where she hit a rough patch in her voice. Her performance however was very emotionally connected which is what I feel put her above Quentin in the sense that I got a feeling of who Tyanna was telling off in the song and that she felt strongly that her bullies didn't know a thing about her. Status: Not Safe.
4th: Joey Cook - Miss Independent: She's baaaaaaaack! This is the Joey I missed so much the innovative thinker who comes up with her own stamp on a classic by any artist. I think Joey has really found her lane and has found what works best for her. If she just stays in that lane until the finale I think she could do extremely well. Status: Safe for the week.
3rd: Rayvon Owen - Since U Been Gone: Welcome back to the competition Rayvon! The vocal on this was so gorgeous that if Daniel had beaten him out in the sing off I would have screamed because I felt every emotion of that song when Rayvon hit the stage to sing for his survival. I am so pleased that America saw what I saw in him tonight which is a guy we haven't seen for quite sometime who is the R&B Male contender for the top but has he come too late? Which is what I asked myself last week when he performed well and he ended up in the bottom 2. I hope he can rank better than that this week but I'm unsure if it will happen. Status: Not Safe.
2nd: Jax - Beautiful Disaster: Losing to Clark by the slightest hair is Jax with another big moment of the season. Her performance was just so gorgeous in it's simplicity. That's what I love the most about Jax is when she keeps it simple it's those performances I feel like I treasure the most because it shows how gorgeous her tone is and what things she can do to standout from the crowd. Tonight was no exception and she was just fantastic. Status: Safe for the week.
1st: Clark Beckham - The Trouble With Love Is: With yet another moment of the season is Clark Beckham who seems to be striking them all out of the park. I am so pleased hearing Clark from week to week. He has yet to really falter and be off. He's had performances where he could do better but I genuinely think he's the only contestant who has yet to falter hard. Status: Safe for the week, moment of the season.
