Well, we missed Hollie on American Idol this week, although she was in the audience along with several other former contenders. She seemed especially enthusiastic with Joshua Ledet's performances. As loyal as I feel to John Lennon's music, I have to give credit where credit is due. Josh brought a whole, new flavor and undeniable 'wow' factor to Lennon's song, "Imagine." This boy is going to go far, whether he wins Idol or not.
Last week, the attractive and talented Julian Lennon was in the audience and posted on his Facebook that he later joined Steven Tyler and Aerosmith in the recording studio. I hope he was there this week for Josh's performance of "Imagine" and I'd love to know what he thought of it. His recently released album, Everything Changes, is sincerely 'Julian' and showcases his enduring talent for music and songwriting.
Phillip Phillips totally astounded a lot of people this week.
He showed a whole, new side of himself while crooning a fantastic rendition of "Why Don't You Stay?' His gravelly vocals, the trademark that has seemed to keep him so popular, were getting a bit old and he finally showed America that he has an extremely beautiful voice as well. I hope it was not too little, too late. Perhaps, it was just right at just the right time. We'll see.
And, of course, Jessica Sanchez, as always, belted out her songs in the lovely voice that is uniquely hers. I loved her purple gown in the first performance and she always looks so comfortable on stage and comfortable with her voice. Never any straining, never any sour notes, just powerful performances every time. Steven Tyler even predicted that she may be the winner.
As we close in on the final week, I won't be disappointed, no matter who wins. All three of these singers are top notch entertainers.
