What to do about the American Idol finalists?
So we are now down to three possible idols. Anthony Fedorov was taken away from us, however we’ll hear from him again. He’s a good singer with a good personality. Now we are down to three and what are we going to do? Lets see, we have Bo Bice, Carrie Underwood and Vonzell Solomon.
Vonzell Solomon has a great voice, however where would we hear her on the radio? Fantasia Barrino isn’t on any of the stations around here. They get labled as hip hop or something and never get herd of again. I’m afraid all of Vonzell’s tallent will get lost on the wrong stations. If they could keep her pop she’d rock!
Bo Bice is cool. However he’ll have a hard time on radio I think. He’ll want to be rock but will probably be categorized as pop or maybe even country. Yes country, he’s got a good voice for that. However, he won’t want to be pop or country and he’ll be pulled in all directions and his career may suffer.
Carrie Underwood has a great voice and she’ll love to be country. She’ll be a little Shania/Faith combo. I think she has the best chance of big success out of the three, however is she the best choice? Don’t get me wrong, I’m routing for her, but is she the best singer?
Granted, any of the top 5 or even top 10 can sing better than half the artists on the radio. They sure all can sing better than Britney Spears or Macy Gray. Remember Macy? Eww. Even Scott Savol has a better voice than lots of people on the radio today.
Speaking of Scott Savol, he’s got the voice, he just needs a personality. Get rid of that scary jerk looking persona he could have a good thing going. Any personality coaches out there? I’m not his biggest fan, however he did do some good songs. The talent, possibly. The personality, ummm no.
Just a few more weeks left and we’ll know the answers. I’m guessing Vonzell is next to go and Carrie will win it all. Which is good. No American Idol winner has done anything close to Kelly Clarkson and it’s sad really. Who’s to blame? They all work so hard and go though so much to just disappear.
