I was really unimpressed by a lot of the people they sent through this time. That goth looking girl with the skunk hair is awful. I think she'll be this year's Nikki McKibbin; the one they send through because she's so "unique" but realize was a mistake after one or two shows when they see that she has no range and is way out of her league.
I liked Amy Catherine Flynn and thought she was a lot better than some of the people they did put through. She made a mistake letting her voice coach pick a song that she didn't even know and couldn't NAIL, but she has the vocal ability to be amazing with the right material... there's talent there- unlike Skunk who just played it safe with a raspy, half assed Janis Joplin that was delivered like a karaoke performance in a biker bar. I feel like the choices this year were just totally random- with the exception of a few people, it sure as hell doesn't seem to be based on talent.
