Lil Rounds is certainly one of the best vocalists on this years American idol, but she does have a tendency to over sing things and last night I think she just tried a bit too hard.
On meeting Smokey Robinson she told him when she visited Hitsville, she got emotional, thinking about how far they had travelled to make it. She says she wants to do it for Martha, for Diana Ross, “the ones who have paved the way.”
I expected big things from Lil Rounds on last night American Idol TV show. Lil wowed me with her last performance of ‘Be Without You’, which helped her sail through to the final 13 singers. However last night she sounded a little pitchy to me and lacked her usual sparkle. I am one very disappointed mama today.
Judges Comments:
Yes you read the title right! Last night the American Idol judges twisted proceedings a little and at the end of the wild card round announced that this year, they were actually going to allow thirteen contestants through to the live finals rather than the usual twelve.
Anoop Desai, Jasmine Murray, Megan Corkrey and Matt Giraud will now join Jorge Nunez, Scott MacIntyre, Lil Rounds, Kris Allen, Adam Lambert, Allison Iraheta, Danny Gokey, Alexis Grace and Michael Sarver in next weeks first live show in the full size American Idol studio.
Scott MacIntyre, Jorge Nunez & Lil Rounds have become the latest three American Idol contestants to make it through to the final 12.
Scott and Lil were absolute certs based on their performances on Tuesday night’s show (click on their names to hear them sing again) and also on the fact that Lil was placed as last singer of the night, which almost seems to guarantee a spot at the top.
Lil Rounds sang “Be Without You,” by Mary J. Blige on last night’s American Idol live show.
Many people are claiming that it has to be more than a coincidence that once again the most talented singer of the night performed last and so will still have been fresh in people’s minds as they picked up their phones to vote. No doubt she will follow in the footsteps of other hot contenders Adam Lambert and Danny Gokey and breeze through tot his years final twelve.
Judges comments:
Randy – “You didn’t lose your swagger tonight. You definitely know who you are.”
Kara – “You are great. You’re still a powerhouse.”
Paula – “First class, my dear.”
Simon – “Brilliant. My favorite performance of the night. I think you are undoubtedly one of the best singers.”
