I don't like Amanda because she hasn't demonstrated that she can do anything other than go out there and strain her voice with some raspy, screaming, angry song. It's annoying to see the other contestants get picked on and cut down for not taking chances and mixing it up, but then Amanda gets praised. Her performances are all indistinguishable from each other and I think the novelty of that wore off 2 weeks ago.
I actually thought Danny Noriega gave the best performance of anyone last week. It was a unique take on it, but it was also entertaining and fun and I felt it was the only performance that captured the spirit of 80s music. I hadn't been a fan of his before, but I really enjoyed it.
