I’m really disappointed this season in the lack of real talent presented by the three judges, who should know better. I was shocked they kept seven girls because the guys had far better talent as a group. It’s too bad the show has to present what they feel they can mold into a marketable product rather than just putting the best voices out there. I wouldn’t buy a record by any of the girls this year, they’re that bad. I originally thought Majesty was good…not so sure after this week’s performance. Her cuteness helps her. Not surprised the bottom three is all female two weeks running. Sam Woolf is the one standout who, for me, is the one to beat. He’s got future star written all over him, whether he knows it yet or not. Alex is ridiculously talented musically, but his voice is not pleasant. When I close my eyes and try to imagine listening to albums made by this year’s singers, the only ones I can imagine listening to more than once are Sam and CJ…possibly Caleb but I’m not a big fan of big, loud rock. Dude can sing, though. No question. My overall impression so far this year is that I’m watching a high school talent contest.

I am rooting for Sam Woolf. The kid has the total package and he is so humble and grounded that people will love him more in addition to his looks, voice and guitar skills. When I saw him for the first time I was already able to tell he will make it to the top 13 without any doubt .

13.) Kristen O’Connor – ugh
12.) Malaya Watson – Can’t take her seriously – she just doesn’t scream ‘star’
11.) Jena Irene – Great voice, but I don’t know, she doesn’t stand out. She also butchered my fav Rolling Stones song
10.) Emily Pirez – Solid vocals, great Hollywood week Performance, but not as “memorable and interesting.”
9.) Sam Woolf – Sure he’s perfect vocally, but like Emily he is absolutely boring and uninteresting. If he can connect with his songs, then he’d maybe boost himself much higher.
8.) Dexter Roberts – Solid package, but typical country singer.
7.) CJ Harris – Was my favorite male, but a bad, bad rush week. Hopefully he improves.
6.) Caleb Johnson – Not as campy during rush week as he was Hollywood Week. Still fun to watch, who cares if he is a throwback? Competition needs someone like him and his powerful vocals also can not be ignored
5.) MK Nobilette – She’s cool, but how versatile is she? Will she just stand on stage and give mellow, emotional songs every week – that may get tiresome.
4.) Jessica Meuse – Used to be my favorite contestant , I’ve got a thing for her style and her voice is so unique, not to mention her song writing – Blue Eye Lie has been stuck in my head. Hopefully she can bring her A-game because rush week wasn’t good.
3.) Ben Briley – Was at the bottom, but wow did he show his versality – soul, country, rock – great rush week too both vocally and performance wise.
2.) Alex Preston – Unique, refreshing, solid singer, great song-writer and artistry.
1.) Majesty Rose – Impeccable singer, cheerful and genuine personality, seems less shy than Hollywood Week – in fact there is is no shyness at all, Rush Week revealed she is an uber confident performer, which boosts her to number one.
