The first night of Season 9 of American Idol! While I absolutley love this show, I'm not a big fan of audition weeks for two reasons: 1. I have no tolerance for hearing bad singing. My t.v. gets muted as soon as the first note comes out of their mouth. 2. I thinking hearing all the contestants backstories can get a little tedious after a while (however I have found they're extremely useful for identifying contestants). I know those two aspects are part of the draw of these few weeks, but I would just rather hear more good singers. Anyway, while I'm still anticipating the best part of this show to start, I do enjoy getting to see the occasional impressive voice and seeing moments such as the following:Best moment of the night: Kara giving that arrogant kid an attitude. "I am now angry at you who I do not like at all." I liked seeing that side of Kara; she has to start taking a side on people. (Although she's still using the word "authentic". Somebody please tell her to stop.)
But onto the more important part...
My favorites singers of the night:
Girls:
Lia Laurents (the last contestant of the night)What a beautiful strong voice. I love the jazzy Norah Jones type of sound she has. Best female vocal of the night.
Katie Stevens: (girl who's grandma has Alzheimer's) I feel like if you have a good voice "At Last" is the perfect song to sing because you can show your range which is exactly what she does. And she's only 16!
Notable mentions: Ashley Rodriguez, Maddie Curtis (also 16)
Guys:
Amadeo DiRicco: (Italian--which btw, had to be one of the most annoying backstories of the night) Absolutely loved his voice! He's got this power behind it that is very captivating.
Tyler George: (broke his wrists) I was with the female judges on this guy. Very cool. His voice broke a little on the high notes but otherwise lots of fun to listen to.
Notable mentions: Bosa Mora(who I thought the judges were a little harsh on), Justin Williams
What did everyone think?
