My opinion of the performances at the top 8.
1. Jackie Foster & Rayshun Lamarr - Their duet wasn't note perfect, but it's the kind of performance that I do like to listen to in my Music, loud Guitars, Drums, and alot of energy from my performers with a decent vocal to back it up. I also loved the staging effects.
2. Kaleb Lee - I know that this is probably an unpopular opinion, but I do think that Kaleb sung his song to the best of his ability which is something that I normally do tend to question from him in other weeks, he also lost the Karaoke vibe in this performance which made taking his performance seriously possible.
3. Spensha Baker - It was nice to see her actually have something more upbeat this week, her vocal wasn't perfect imo, but it was still an okay performance.
4. Kyla Jade & Spensha Baker - Not really my kind of Music, but they did sing it okay bar a few shouty moments from Kyla.
5. Britton Buchanan - It was the typical safe Britton performance that we always get, but it was of a higher calibre than the other performances on the night imo.
6. Kaleb Lee & Pryor Baird - It was nice to hear Pryor sing a song that's newer than the 70's, but this duet did reek of Karaoke despite some decent vocals from Pryor mainly, they also had harmonising issues that were quite prominent in the performance.
7. Jackie Foster - This performance didn't work for me I'm afraid AarynGriesfan, the show gave her a very karaoke number here and it makes me wonder if they want her in trouble this week. However I will say as a positive that she tried to perform the hell out of it which is nice in a series where the Walkers out of TWD seem like they've got more personality than most of these contestants.
8. Kyla Jade - An okay first half of the performance, but the second half got really, really shouty, I honestly don't get the hype for this performance by the public at all.
9. Brynn Cartelli - Funeral Music.
10. Pryor Baird - Again it was nice to see him not be stuck in the 70's, but my god Blake/production really do give him dull songs to sing don't they, Pryor's voice should clearly be more aimed towards Grunge/Post-Grunge sounds yet they keep giving him either Soft Rock or Country numbers, I really don't get it.
11. Britton Buchanan/Brynn Cartelli - Pass me the bucket.
12. Rayshun Lamarr - Predictable song to sing on a Talent Show, and he just sung it completely wrong in my view.
Imo Rayshun is a cert to be in there, I do think though that the public should teach one of Brynn, Pryor, and Britton a lesson for keep playing it safe and MOR and drop them in the drop zone just to give them a kick up the ass. I know it'll never happen, but incredibly safe and dull performances should be punished on these shows.
