The copycat, flamboyant, dead, and forgettable

If I could point the reason why another four American Idol aspirants did not make it this week, it would be about their lack of dynamics. It means originality and the stage presence in performance.

Asia’h performance was more of copying her idol without bringing in the originality. Simon regarded this as simply a copycat and only good for the top 12. He was right.

Danny Noriega’s performance turned out horrible, seemingly bragging about his outward flamboyance on stage. This was a case of exaggerated mannerisms. His tendency to overdo it clouded the whole performance that it became “horrible” as Simon said.

Kady Malloys performance despite her good voice had a dead performance, lacking the stage presence or appeal. All three judges noticed she held back herself in her performances.

Luke’s songs and voice did not seem to synchronize with his stature, making all his performance to be weak. Simon said “a bit girly” and simply “forgettable.” The voting public agreed with him.
