American Idol 10: Top 12 Girls

Oleh: welly - 04 Mar 2011

Kuat harapan kalau tahun ini yang menang adalah kontestan cewek. Dan semoga aja harapan itu terwujud. Setelah melihat, menyimak, dan menimbang-nimbang 12 besar cewek tahun ini, kesempatan untuk juara memang lebih cerah dibandingkan kontestan cowok di malam sebelumnya. Mengapa cewek harus menang? Karena mereka selalu menjual album lebih banyak ketimbang pemenang yang cowok. Hihi.

PhotobucketTa-Tynisa Wilson – “Only Girl (In The World)” by Rihanna

ST: Beautiful way to open the show. You sang the song, and the song sang you.

JL: It’s good that your over now, and your the first one. You started off shaky, and you brought it all the way home.

RJ: I differ from them. I thought it was just OK. You didn’t bring anything special to it. It paled in comparison to Rhianna’s version. Notes were sharp in the the chorus.

AI: Apa yang dia pikirkan? Memilih lagu untuk bersenang-senang atau menyanyi untuk menang? Tatynisa bisa dipastikan tidak akan berada di putaran final. Jauh lebih menikmati penampilan Hollywood-nya yang lupa lirik. (5/10)

PhotobucketNaima Adedapo – “Summertime”

JL: You bring color, you’re like an exotic flower in a rose garden.

RJ: It was a little lounge acty…we saw someone annihilate this a few years ago [Fantasia]…I enjoyed the second half more than the first.

ST: I take you personally, it was like early Ella Fitzgerald. It was beautiful. I love you a lot.

AI: This is good, this is good! Naima totalitas di atas panggung. Kita dibawa ikut bergembira dengan penampilannya. (8/10)

PhotobucketKendra Chantelle – “Impossible” by Christina Aguilera

RJ: I love that vibrato, it reminds me of Lauryn Hill, I felt connected.

ST: You did it again, voice hot clothes hot style hot song.

JL: You have heart. You fought your way into the Top 12. You belong here. We’re just scratching the surface with you. Amazing.

AI: Bicara soal tampang dan kemampuan vokal yang matching, Kendra Chantelle orangnya. I believe in her. Enggak mustahil dia bisa menang! (8/10)

PhotobucketRachel Zevita – “Criminal” by Fiona Apple

ST: I loved your strut…it’s a little too Broadway for me.

JL: How do you want America to see you? Do want them to see you as a Broadway performer or as a recording artist? For me, I wish we would have seen a little bit that tonight.

RJ: It didn’t work. I didn’t even know what that was. It wasn’t great.

AI: Enggak ada yang salah dari penampilan Rachel. Hanya kurang berapi-api. It was good, but it wasn't great. (6/10)

PhotobucketKaren Rodriguez – “Hero” by Mariah Carey

JL: Yes, Karen. Wow. Goosebumps. I love that you changed into Spanish. Amazing.

RJ: I like that you figured out a way to make it you. I thought the Spanish was better than the English.

ST: I think you ought to get together with Jacob Lusk over there and sing it again. I loved it. I think you’re fantastic. Beautiful.

AI: IT WAS HOT! Vokal sempurna. Menyanyikan lagu Hero dalam dua bahasa. Luar biasa, luar biasa! (9/10)

PhotobucketLauren Turner sings “Seven Day Fool” by Etta James

RJ: That’s how you do it man. I love the feel that this could be Amy Winehouse meets Florence and the Machine.

ST: That was spectacular. That was like Lauren Turner meets Lauren Turner. I loved it. A perfect full complete sentence.

JL: You voice is undeniable. Phsyically you’re holding back, You were holding back. You were great, but don’t hold back.

AI: Gila-gilaan! Lauren Turner sangat berambisi untuk berada di putaran final. Cewek ini harus berada disana! (9/10)

PhotobucketAshton Jones – “Love Over Me” by Monica

ST: Jonesy, you’ve got the confidence of a Queen, and you sing so sweet.

JL: You have all the makings of a diva. You’re confidence is breathtaking. You should be very proud.

RJ: I like you. I didn’t like the song. I think you’re broader, bigger than that. You’re Diana Ross baby.

AI: Ashton adalah kontestan yang sangat pintar. Dia pintar memilih lagu yang bisa mengakomodir suaranya ke taraf maksimal. Sama kayak J.Lo, PD-nya luar biasa. (8/10)

PhotobucketJulie Zorrilla – “Breakaway” by Kelly Clarkson

JL: I didn’t feel it was the best thing I’ve ever seen you do. I felt it a little bit more here…you need to connect to those words.

RJ: Our orginal AI sang that song. You didn’t bring anything new to it. You didn’t sing nearly as well. What’s going to make me special and stand out? Not pale compared to Kelly.

ST: Wrong song for you.

AI: Saran untuk para kontestan, silahkan pilih untuk menyanyikan lagu Kelly Clarkson kalau memang ingin dieliminasi. Gadis ini persis Ashley Rodriguez dari musik lalu. Hancur lebur di semifinal. (4/10)

PhotobucketHaley Reinhart – “Fallin” by Alicia Keys

RJ: It didn’t do anything for you. It’s like a karaoke kind of thing.

ST: I heard just the right amount of style, the right amount of sexy.

JL: I agree with Steven. We saw a lot of different colors in your voice. You need to get out of your head a little bit. You belong here.

AI: Apa dia mabuk sebelum tampil ya? Suka suaranya tapi benci gaya panggungnya. Haley seharusnya menyadari kalau penampilannya ini tidak lagi untuk menyenangkan para juri, tapi para penonton. (5/10)

PhotobucketThia Megia – “Out Here On My Own” from Fame

ST: A person’s pitch can be so perfect, it doesn’t matter what song she picks.

JL: That was beautiful. It was such a quiet moment…captivate every person in this room. It was really special.

RJ: The mark of a great singer is the quality of the tone. The tone reminds me so much of the late Michael Jackson…this is what hot singing is all about.

AI: Ngomong-ngomong, Thia Megia sudah berusia 16 tahun. Oke, nyanyiannya bagus. Setuju sama Randy, suaranya mirip MJ. (9/10)

PhotobucketLauren Alaina – “Turn on the Radio” by Reba McEntire

JL: My little Lauren. Yeah! You look so beautiful. You don’t even have to try. The voice is so effortless. I know there’s more in there. Amazing.

RJ: You have a natural gift. You can sing anything. I don’t think you even know how talented you are.

ST: You kill me. I love you. You’re the best.

AI: Sudah ketahuan kan kenapa para juri kelihatan banget pengen Lauren Alaina yang menang tahun ini. Dia punya bakat yang dimanfaatkan secara maksimal. Menurutku Randy berlebihan menyebutnya gabungan antara Kelly Clarkson dan Carrie Underwood. (8/10)

PhotobucketPia Toscano – “I’ll Stand By You” by The Pretenders

RJ: This is our first standing of our new season. You just put yourself in the top with that amazing performance. That’s how you do it.

ST: That was unbelievable. that was so over the top. That was gorgeous.

JL: I knew that you were a standout. You were saving that you were saving that for when it counts. Out of this world.

AI: Baiklah, Pia harus memenangkan American Idol Season 10. Tanpa kompromi! (10/10)

Prediksi, yang dipastikan akan ada di putaran final adalah Pia Toscano, Karen Rodriguez, Thia Megia, dan Lauren Alaina. Dan satu tempat lagi diperebutkan oleh Naima/Kendall/Lauren Turner/Ashton. Jangan lewatkan result show yang akan menampilkan pengumuman 10 besar hasil voting pemirsa, juga lagu perpisahan yang akan dinyanyikan oleh David Cook, 'Don't You (Forget About Me)' yang menurutku akan sangat bagus!!!
