yeah for me i’m not looking for vocals i’m just looking for a pretty or perhaps emotional performance so the last two songs have been rly effective but i was more inclined to CTMA as well

anybody have any obscure spring/summer bops from Idol alumni to recommend now that it's starting to get warmer out (at least in the northeast lol)?    these are two that always make it into my Spring/Summer playlist rotation!    

I'll try to do some pre-season ranks:   1. Angeria Paris VanMicheals - I've loved Angeria on her original season where she was my favorite. I've been wanting to see her make her All-Stars return and yayyy for it finally happening! I'm ready!   2. Vanessa Vanjie - I've always loved and rooted for Vanjie and found her so fun/rootable. Hoping for more of that here. ❤️  3. Plastique Tiara - I've always enjoyed her and found her kinda underrated on her run. Looking forward to her this time around. I'll place Plastique above Gottmik as I'm more interested in seeing what she can bring this time around. 4. Gottmik - I liked her on her original season and looking forward to seeing her again. 5. Roxxxy Andrews - I remember loving her on Season 5 and then got really annoyed with how long she lasted on AS2. I am feeling kinda mixed to kinda interested in seeing her again. 6. Jorgeous  - I agree with those that said it's maybe a little too soon for her to be on All-Stars. I'm not sure if she's evolved enough to make a major difference. I would probably want to see her on this like 3 years later down the line? 7. Shannel - Ugh I remember she always annoyed me on the seasons she's been in.  🙈 She's talented for sure but just not a fan of her personality. But those were like the 2009 and early 2010s season, so that was a long time ago and maybe she's changed since then. So I'll go into this giving her an open chance to change my mind. 8. Nina West - LMAO I looked back on some seasons of these queens were on. WHY was I thinking of Tina Burner for Nina? OK I see Nina was on S11. Don't think I really cared much for her there. Never thought of her for an All-Stars season but open to her trying to impress me.
