The Top 12 Girls Perform

Tonight the Top 12 girls had their chance to sing for our votes.

Lovey started things off with vocally weak performance of Love Runs Out. It started out too low and it never got high enough to impress.

Adanna did much better with her powerful version of Rather Be. She has a great voice and she knows how to take command of the stage.

Alexis is nice looking country girl, but other than being a pretty blond Latina, there isn't really anything special about her voice as illustrated by her bland rendition of Gunpowder and Lead.

Joey thinks she is so unique with her blue hair and accordion, and while she delivered a different arrangement of Somebody Like You she still came off as a novelty act with an extremely limited vocal range.

Katherine put the entire audience to sleep with a sad reading of Safe and Sound.

Shannon is way too young and completely lacking in stage presence as evidenced by her forgettable version of Who Knew.

Loren is the kind of finalist who should go far on this kind of show. Her voice is big and capable of hitting all of the notes to dramatic songs like Note To God. She is also exceptionally beautiful.

Shi just doesn't have the kind of voice that I want to hear even once much less week after week or on an entire album. Her Umbrella sounded like strained screaming.

Maddie is a really cute country girl with a very good voice to boot. She served up a very entertaining performance of Love Gets Me Every Time.

Sarina-Joi took Mama Knows Best and knocked it out of the park. It was a strong and dynamic performance is every way.

Jax has a certain artistry that is kinda OK, but it's way too serious. I am wondering if she is capable of being light hearted and humorous and still be entertaining...

Tyanna is a good performer and her version of Lips Are Moving sounded just as good as what is getting played right now on the radio.

Loren and Sarina-Joi are leading neck and neck in this race. Tyanna and Maddie are close behind.

My prediction for the girls to be eliminated this week are Lovey, Alexis, Katherine and Shannon.
