American Idol 7, Broadway Music, My Top 3 of the final 6 !

April 22, 2008

Tonight was a very challanging night for the final six Idol hopefulls, they had to rise to the challaneg of the compeition and sing theatrical medleys from the songbook of legendary composer Sir Andrew Lloys Webber.

Although some stuggled, they still had grace and managed to do a decent job overall.

However three truly stood out, with one by leaps and bounds.

Here are my top three of this week, a critique along with corresponding video footage courtsey of FOX and American Idol 7.

As always, comments and feedback always appreciated,

Thanks

I don't know why they keep throwing these things at them. They're pop singers, not Broadway singers. I'm not saying they're not talented, but it takes a very special and rare talent to sing Broadway. Chest voice I believe it's called?

[tallderektoronto]

Yes, they are called belter or chest belters - the voice comes from deep within. I think they brought broadway into the theme because a few of the competitors are suited for that style and let's face it, broadway songs are a challange so it really makes them work hard right ? Not everyone is a natural broadway singer like Clay Aiken.

Completely agree 100% all the way.

*replays over and over*

broadway, ballad ,country, gospel, or rock ,David Cook can do anything. I hope his career takes off ...

[denzelwvu]

Great Top 3 for this night man! I agree 100%!

[tallderektoronto]

I think this week was mainly a popular vote week, but hey people can stop saying David Cook is not strong enough without his guitar - cause we saw he is, and awesome on top of that :)

[tallderektoronto]

Jason has had some good nights : Treavllin' Through, Halleluyah, Over The Rainbow. He also hs a strong fan base. I may personally not dig his voice & music or style overall bI did enjoy him those nights - let's be nice , he oviously has fans, he's in the top 5 lol

[tallderektoronto]

LOL !!

[annettegig]

sorry...I don't agree with that, because obviously he's made it this far. The judges obviously saw something in him from the beginning, so I don't think talent is the issue. Everyone has different tastes and in my opinion Jason is awesome, distinctive and talented.

[annettegig]

Once again.......Your opinion. Good for you, I'm glad you know how to express it.

Jason, is AWESOME.....in my opinion.
