Couple of cases of the blahs

Amy Krebs sings Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me" and all I can say is that she didn't. Her voice was real nasal and she managed to make a great song pretty dull. I'll cut her some slack, simply because it's her first night out there singing live, but for me, it wasn't great. I mean it wasn't terrible, but really, it was just blah.

Glad to see the judges feel the same way. Randy said it was boring and too safe. Paula agrees and Simon tells her again that he can't remember her - tells her she has a personality of a candle... and it's sad to say, but I agree. She was just OK, but even in her interview, there was nothing about her that jumped out - nothing America can really associate with her. Simon, of course, is just a smidgen too mean, but what he's saying is true, so what can you really say about it?

Leslie Hunt is up next and the little I do remember about her, I don't like. I didn't like her voice at all - it was too masculine and didn't fit her appearance at all. But I'm trying to open-minded about her.

I like the little dress she's wearing - but again, her voice just doesn't fit. She sings Aretha Franklin's "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" and it's really not very good. She's off key here and there, and she doesn't have the depth needed to sing the song the way it should be sung. The song is just way too big for her - it actually made her voice seem smaller to me, flatter. I mean, if you're going to take on an Aretha Franklin song, you have to really deliver, and in my opinion, she just didn't - she didn't put any feeling into it - she just kind of sang the words, without thinking about the meaning behind them. But that's just my opinion.

Randy nails it and says the songs was too big for her...exactly!!! Paula, of course, tells her it was great and then adds on that she needs to choose the song wisely. Simon's criticism was a little out there, something about walking her dog and looking embarrassed and whatever. I think he's trying to say that she seemed uncomfortable, which is true. I just didn't like her - so far, she's in my bottom two.
