Anyone have favorites already?
My short list so far includes:
Ace (yea, just because he's adorable)
Kevin (just because he's local)
Chris ( love his personality, his style of singing and his voice)
Katherine (great voice, great personality, fun to watch)
Elliot (he's a long shot to go too far, i like to have an underdog in the race)
Lisa Tucker (great range, doesn't scream when she sings)
Taylor (so much fun and unique voice)
Will (too young to reall make it too far, but he's got a sweet voice and he';s charming)
I know everyone loves Paris and thinks she'll make it to the top three. I'm not saying she won't, she's just not one of my favorites. She's got a great voice, but I don't think she can swing too many varieties of music styles and that will be her downfall.
Anyone?
Paris did country and jazz in her first audition, so I'm not worried about her range of styles. I think her nerves are what's killing her. She didn't sound awesome in Hollywood to me at all (what little we heard).

Yeah, I have to say I hated that awful rendition Paris did of "Fever" that they showed last night. If that's supposed to be her thing, it shouldn't suck so bad.
But then, you shouldn't pick a song that Ella Fizgerald has done perfectly. ;) You're just setting yourself up to look bad.

I'm pulling for Mandisa and Paris. Is it just me or does this group lack personality or something?
