I am just really enjoying the guy&#8217;s this year and not so much the girls.<\/p>\n<p>Here go my thoughts:<\/p>\n<p>Aloha &#8211; Aloha.  LOL.  I think she is a cutie but she just doesn&#8217;t stand out and I find her a bit nasely.<\/p>\n<p>Lyndsey &#8211; I like her low voice and she showed a lot of personality this week.  The song didn&#8217;t show off her voice though.  I agree with Randy &#8211; she is going to have to stretch.<\/p>\n<p>Jessica &#8211; Like her husky voice.  I think she could do a good job with country but she didn&#8217;t blow me away tonight.  I totally disagree with the judges that she was the best so far of the girls.  Last note was good and powerful though:)<\/p>\n<p>Mikayla &#8211; Heidi!!! How could you not find her adorable?  I think she did a great job tonight.  She turned up her game.  Now in all honesty, I am not a huge fan of her voice (taste wise) but I do think she has talent especially for a kid.  Just adorable.<\/p>\n<p>Celina &#8211; Love her but pitchy performance tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Nadia &#8211; So what.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda &#8211; She performed this song better than Diana DeGarma last year (in our opinion:).  She was on her game.  Her performance was great and I loved it on her.  Go Amanda.  <\/p>\n<p>Janay &#8211; See ya honey.  (Jim said it looked like someone was pinching her neck forcing her to sing).<\/p>\n<p>Carrie &#8211; You know I love her but the song was a bit rough tonight and it didn&#8217;t suit her.  She didn&#8217;t &#8220;wear&#8221; the song.  The judges were more harsh about it than I would be though.<\/p>\n<p>Vonzell &#8211; Another cutie that has talent but just not my style.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230;&#8230;tonight&#8217;s pick based on tonight&#8217;s talent is Amanda.  She is the only one Jim and I truly ENJOYED tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Now as a point of fact, even though I enjoyed Amanda the most tonight, my heart favorite is probably Carrie\/Celina still.  I think at the end of this, I will likely be rooting for Carrie.  We&#8217;ll see.  Also, I would point out that if I were going to buy albums based on my preference of style and quality, I would choose the following four:  Carrie, Celina, Lyndsey, and Jessica.  Did I mention I am a country fan?:)<\/p>\n<p>Did anyone notice though that the majority of the gals dropped out on the low notes?  At first, I was critical of them over this but later realized it was happening to all of them and I wonder if their mics weren&#8217;t equalized very well tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not impressed tonight and so sad I missed last night.
