Sept390 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 She is young She has a personality and is likeable She is a powerhouse vocalist She has a distinct sound/tone She is marketable and not a dreary ballad singer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie_On Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I can’t see the old lady viewers voting for her but I do think she is potentially an amazing singer. Her biggest hurdle is gonna be convincing people that she’s not a “screamer.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holinessss Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 i worry her theatrics will be off-putting/broadway-ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this seemed a bit over the top simply due to the shortness. They skipped over the entire verses (the quiet parts) of the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's a powerhouse vocalist but she's definitely not a "diva" that we used to get on Idol I think her major problem is enunciation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holinessss Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 this is the first performance i watched of her preseason and i guess it just stuck, it is from 2017 so hopefully she doesn't revert back to very outdated/affected style of preforming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think in ABC Idol it matters as much... heck Maddie won and she was from Iowa and the Midwest has never had much success on the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 17 seasons, there has never been a winner from CA or NY. The disconnect is with the voting audience. Edited March 7, 2020 by mytake1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, I wonder why contestants from California or NYC have such a hard time connecting with the voters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why most of the winners are from the South. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie_On Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I feel really bad for Lauren Spencer Smith, because I don’t know if she’ll have any chance, being from Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazuki Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I I like Sophia, and she has a good voice but I rather have Julia win this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mytake1 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) Unfortunately Julia Gargano is from NY. But winning Idol these days doesn't mean a whole lot. Alejandro didn't win, but he has the better career. He has created more buzz. And Idol has seized on that. Edited March 7, 2020 by mytake1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s got a huge fan base in the states too prior to the show. She may have a shot if she builds up a big enough fan base. Hollie Cavanaugh and a few others from GB or Canada have done well I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or to be more accurate, consistently great. Or better yet, she improves while remaining great. All contestants who make it to the Top 20 or Top 10 should be consistent while improving if they wish to make the finale and win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
