Tonight ‘American Idol‘ was in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for the first time and luckily the contestants brought their A game.
Unfortunately, there didn’t seem to be too much crazy tonight, weird for sure, but not crazy. If you want crazy check out Tuesday's recap.
Let’s kick off the recap with Heejun Han who sang ‘How Am I Supposed To Live Without You’ by Michael Bolton.
This guy took everyone back! He gave off this weird, antisocial vibe through out his intro, but once he started singing he was a completely different person. The judges and especially Jennifer loved this performance.
Next was Reed Grimm who sang the ‘Theme From Family Matters.’
I didn’t enjoy this performance only because I’m not a huge fan of the whole ‘jazz scat’ singing thing, it’s weird. Either way the judges liked it and sent him to Hollywood as well.
Then came Erika Van Pelt who auditioned with ‘Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow’ by Carol King.
This girl was nice and had a good voice, but she was a little plain. She’ll need to spice it up if she wants to stick around in Hollywood.
Next was Eben Franckewitz who sang ‘Ain’t No Sunshine.’
First off, as fellow Bieber look-a-like I feel this kids pain. Second, I thought he had a good voice, but it was nothing super impressive. But, he made it to Hollywood so good for him.
Next up was Creighton Fraker who sang a song he wrote on the way to the auditions and ‘Who’s Loving You’ by Michael Jackson.
Okay this guy is a nut! He had a lot of confidence I’ll give him that, but his singing voice was so weird and his facial expressions reminded me of when a baby eats something sour. Apparently, the judges were on something at this time because they let him through.
Now for the only person ‘Idol’ showed who did not get the golden ticket in Pittsburgh, Shane Bruce who sang ‘Hallelujah‘ or as Shane called it “the Hallelujah song from ‘Shrek.’”
Okay, I actually feel really bad for this kid! The poor guy now has to follow his “Pap’s” footsteps and go into the coal mines instead of being a singer. I say forget Hollywood, just try to get out of Pittsburgh Shane!
Lastly came Samantha Novacek who sang ‘Like We Never Loved at All’ by Faith Hill… while her sister planked in front of her.
I told you Pittsburgh was weird.
Apparently her sister, Patty the Pittsburgh Planker, is famous for laying around the city and according to Samantha this helps her sing better… oh and she made it to Hollywood.
[Eye roll]
It seemed like everyone went to Hollywood this round, well except coal miner Shane.
Next, ‘Idol’ will be in San Diego on a special night, Sunday right after the NFL’s NFC Championship.
I seriously cannot keep up with these competition shows and their air dates… Ugh!
