Was the second half of the show any better? Not really.

Amanda Overmeyer made a huge mistake tonight singing “Carry On Wayward Son” by Kansas. Her hair looked like something out of the Addams Family but I will give her credit on the cool pants. Her vocals were just horrible. She sounded out of breath in some parts trying to strain and hold the notes out. When she finished she didn’t seem too happy about it. Randy told her she picked the wrong song. Paula tells her that she can dance. Too bad it’s not a dancing competition, huh? Simon said he “really really didn’t get that.”

Alaina Whitaker did a pretty lame job of singing the classic Olivia Newton John hit “Hopelessly Devoted To You”. There was a bit of shouting at the end and Randy was dead on the money when he pointed out how pitchy and sharp she was throughout the whole song. Simon can’t believe how old fashioned she was, “it’s like your grandmother prepared you for this audition.”

So much for liking Alexandrea Lushington. I don’t even know what song she chose but it was bad all around. Randy told her she played it way too safe. Simon said he was a big fan of hers but it appears as if she is struggling now. He called her inconsistent, uncomfortable and boring. It looks like her nerves are getting the best of her. I hope she improves soon.

Kady Malloy did a completely dreadful rendition of Heart’s “Magic Man”. All three judges did not like her performance. Simon told her she was trying too hard to be like Christina Aguilera. She needs to work on being herself and focusing on her vocals rather than trying to look sexy.

Asia’h Epperson did a pretty decent job of “All By Myself”. For one thing, she looked fantastic. Judging on the song’s difficulty, Randy said she did a good job of it. He really liked the ending but I was kind of hoping for a little bit more power at the end. Still, a good effort. Simon flat out told her she is not that good of a singer and the song showed her up. He called Asia’h’s song choice a “silly decision”.

I don’t know ladies and gentleman… I think the boys are way more talented than the girls this year.
