Let me strategize for just a second. The Top 12 now consists of six guys and three girls, so something tells me that the judges will want to even that up a little bit and go with at least two girls…if they can…
Megan Joy Corkrey, “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree”: 15
She could have sung the phone book and she’ll still get through. I knocked her off for her vocals and that weirdo dancing.
Von Smith, “Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word”: 12
So, Simon compares him to Clay and then he does a song Clay recorded with almost exactly the same arrangement. But if Clay was what he was going for, he wasn’t even close. His verses were really shaky—which matched his hands. And I just can’t get over those weird facial expressions. Kudos to Paula for giving him some constructive criticism. Take note, Kara.
So I think we can eliminate Von from contention…
