amanda's back for us

First up? Amanda Overmyer, who talks about her success last week. And bluegrass. Or whatever.

Song: "Back in the USSR"

Me: OK, don't like this performance as much as her song last week. It doesn't seem as challenging vocally, and we end up with just basically another couple minutes of raspy-voiced rock. It's shaky at first, but she does a nice job of picking things up midway through. Can't say it's incredibly memorable, yet I think she still brings something kind of unique to the competition. She's proven herself as someone who would get a bar crowd fired up...guess that might be enough to secure a fan base for now.

Randy: "It was just a little pitchy in the beginning...For me, I've gotta give you a 7 out of 10."

Paula: "It was a little sketchy at first, but when you connect you are quintessential."

Simon: "It was what it was...it's just the same thing week after week after week."

I think she's got her own unique style. She's hard to critique if you're not a fan of that style. It is what it is, and a David Archuleta fan might not like it. It all comes down to how many people are voting
