Motown

Candice Glover - I said before she doesn't know how to growl. She was growling now. Very good.

Kree & Janelle - time filler. ridiculous to judge.

Lazaro Arbos - Good when it was slow, then very uneven, with a distinct lack of high notes.

Janelle Arthur - Pretty spin on the song.

Devin Velez - Nicely sung. Fits his voice well.

Amber, Candice, Angie trio - time filler. ridiculous to judge.

Burnell Taylor - Sometimes oddly sounds like a robot.

Angela Miller - Not bad. But not quite enough rough power for it.

Amber Holcomb - She handled the range so easily. Amazing.

Devin, Burnell, Lazaro - time filler. ridiculous to judge.

Amber Holcomb - Odd song choice, but well sung, interesting spin.

Lazaro Arbos - Should've sung Yellow Submarine.

Candice Parker - Good, but needed a little more edge to it.

Paul Jolley - Well sung, but too softy, no edge, annoying falsetto.

Season 12 Week 8 Thursday - Top 20 III

Top 10 Selected.
Five girls, five guys.

It seems they got to the Top 10, and thus the Idol Tour, with just one vote from the viewers. In the past, there were a couple of more voting rounds before the Top 10. I'm not sure what the thinking is in doing it this way, and I'm not sure if it's good or bad.

Guys:
Paul Jolley - In.
Burnell Taylor - In.
Curtis Finch, Jr. - In.
Devin Velez - In.
Lazaro Arbos - In.

I got three of them.

Girls:
Janelle Aurthur - In.
Candice Glover - In.
Angela Miller - In.
Amber Holcomb - In.
Kree Harrison - In.

I got four of them.
