American Idol Top 6 - Review 2012 April 25

Top 6 - Night of Queen

Wow, I'm not normally a fan of the group numbers but this group number just does no justice to Queen's legendary music. Roger Taylor and Brian May sound good like always, but seriously, they look more like Uncle Fester's relatives than rockers.

1. Jessica Sanchez "Bohemian Rhapsody"

Not her best effort but vocally she's really starting to own the stage.

2. Skylar Laine "The Show Must Go On"

Hmm, just like Jessica, she seems to be struggling with the rock format. Vocally she's doing reasonably, but it's almost like she's just trying to survive. Money note was fine.

3. Joshua Ledet "Crazy Little Thing Called Love"

Nice interpretation. He really feels comfortable with his vocal style. Excellent

4. Elise Testone "I Want It All"

One odd note to start. Very rocker and powerful. Not sure if the tv audience enjoyed, but she did well.

5. Phillip Phillips "Fat Bottom Girls"

He's singing it flat to me, and he's sucking the melody out of the number. It is a good choice for him though because it fits his vocal style.

6. Hollie Cavanaugh "Save Me"

Some odd notes but she fixed it for the money note. It was a less than impressive rendition.

Rankings Top to Bottom
Joshua
Elise
Phillip
Jessica
Skylar
Hollie



1. Jessica

Oh she's back to doing a ballad and is clearly in her element. That was so tender and lovely.

2. Skylar

She's equally in her element here. She is so at home here and her vocals soar.

3. Joshua

He did pretty well. I liked that vocal again.


4. Elise

It was an ok song to me. She sounded fine, but the song choice might be the problem.

5. Phillip

I totally did not get that song choice. He sounded ok, but that was a weird song for the competition.

6. Hollie

Wow, she's really coming on strong as the season progresses. She's totally doing a Syesha late run to me.
