| Posted by: conor19 | | 1. Harlemm Lee- Like Johnny said: he's been the most consistent one and never let us down. He proved to us many times he could make the songs his own.
2. Shannon Bex- Nice recovery from last week. She did very well tonight.
3. Serena Henry- This was a great performance, but jesus, this girl goes overboard. Find one tone and stick with it!
4. Moy
5. Brandon O'Neal- Found the right song and gave a good performance.
6. Allyson Arena- I don't particularly like her voice but I think she has incredible stage presence. Broadway is her future, definitely.
7. Alex Boyd- Wow. Yawn. Bad peformance, but not as bad as...
8. Justin Jacoby- Just go away. Why is he still on this show? I'm sick of his wannabe Eminem act. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: Hanne | | 1 - SHANNON BEX! Way to represent Portland Shannon! You are doing an amazing job
2 - Harlemm: Love his voice, I swere he doesn't miss a note!
3 - Serena: What a voice, way to go! She doesn't dance in her solo's though, this isn't American Idol!
4 - Moy: Great outfit and performance tonight! I love her face
5 - Justin: Something about him interests me, but I don't think he'll be around forever. He's unique and I like how he breaks up the other performers a bit.
6 - Allyson: Ok. Too broadway for me, sweet girl though.
7 - Alex: The greasy hair is so 80's, I'm bored with him.
9 - Brandon: Pretty voice, but not blown away.
Just my OPINIONS! | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: pigwilly | | 1-Harlemm. Can't beat his voice control, his creativity, and just his personality. He touches you w/his performances and leaves everything on stage for us to see.
2-Shannon Bex. She gots that stereotypical "pop star" look. She's got a good voice for it and can obviously move.
3-Moy. She dances surely and confidently. Given the songs that fit her, she sings extremely well.
4-Alex Boyd. More of a boy-bandish type guy...but he has talent. Given choreography, he can keep up w/everyone else.
5-Serena Henry. She's just boring. Granted, she has a great set of pipes, but its nothing special. She also needs to stop being so showy and just stay w/one tone and pitch in her singing. She goes overboard WAY too much.
6-Brandon O'Neal. The kid can dance. However, I'm not entirely sold on his voice.
7-Allyson Arena. Personally, something about her just irritates me. Her voice is too nasal. However, she would probably fit well on Broadway.
8-Justin Jacoby. Rapper, not a singer. Dances decently. Needs to learn to make his raps flow and stay on beat. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: gddsslts3 | | 1- and the winner is.... HARLEMM LEE!!!! as I have stated time and time again. If Harlemm doesn't win there is something wrong with American. This boy can sing like nothing else, and asian boy can dance like nobody's business... he gives me goosebumps and makes me tear up every single time he performs....
2- Serena Henry: She can sing, and is definitely the next diva!
3- Moy: Can sing and dance...
4- Shannon Bex: TOO MUCH LIKE BRITTANY!!! But she's got that thang going on.
5- Brandon O' Neal: Can dance can sing is a real cutie
6- Alex Boyd: I think i've seen him in a boy band before... haven't you???
7- Justin Jacoby: Is it just me or does he sound like Eminem???
8- Allyson Arena: Why is she still here? Personally, I agree with pigwilly. How is she still on but Jamison nor Raymond still on??? I mean COME ON AMERICA!!! | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: foushou | | Harlem is the only artist on the stage. why? because an artist is someone who master his instrument so well that it disapears. There is no more technique, just PURE soul....Listening to him, I hear what's eternal in the human spirit : sheer beauty.
Harlem makes me forget about the pettyness of mankind!
Sorry to be so dramatic but that's why the lil' b....makes me cry...LOL | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: cascadingcurls2 | | 1. Harlemm Lee.- Hes not my upmost favorite, but he inspires, is consistent, and does wonerful performances.
2. Shannon Bex- I dont like her as much as i used too, but she fixed he problems from last week and had an intersting performance. her dancing is always captivating.
3. Brandon O' Neal- Found a good song, finally dared to sing from his heart. I think hes just now opening up, so he can go a long way.
4. Moy- captivating dancer, sang a good peformance
5. Serena- Her Whithey Housten act and confidence annoy me, but she comes through.
6. Allyson Arena- not as good as last week, but still a good dancer and performer. AS said before, she has stage presence. That what i think brought her to the top last week. Definetly would make it on Broadway.
7. JJ-Justin's dancing is okay. But his rap consists of just saying clever funny things over and over without a real beat. I feel like im watching the same performance over and over again. There's no versatility! The other factor is that rap and singing are like apples and oranges- they dont compare
8.. Alex Boyd- i realized his dancing just isnt up to par. He also is singing almost the same songs, but with different words. i feel like im watching the same performance over and over, just like Justin
On a side note, whre did the dancing go??? Hardly anyone is still incorporating dancing in with their singing. this needs to be fixed. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: bonnie1 | | Are all of you tone-deaf putting Moy in the top half? She should have been booted when she moon-howled that Toni Barxton song that made ears bleed. Dances up a storm, but pu-leese make her close her mouth!!! | | Reply To this Message

I didn't think she was *spectacular*, but I thought she was much better than Brandon, Alex, Allyson and especially Justin. She is one of the best dancers and her performance was good enough to be #4 on my list. Brandon and Alex bore me, Allysson is not my cup of tea, and Justin is just terrible.

| Posted by: abdulchestnut | | All y'all need to raise up off my girl, Moy!!! She can sing and dance better than non-singing behind J.Lo. Y'all should've done your homework and remembered her from Pop Star. She made the next to final cut. Now, she's on FAME. Debbie's not gonna keep you around unless you've got talent. And yes, I do know her!!! Do the DAYUUMMM THANG!!!! | | Reply To this Message

2.Allyson Arena- i think she improves more and more each week, and goes out of the brodway catorgary. She just seem so nice.
3.Shannon, at first i thought she wasnt that great, but i re-watched and really like her.
4.moy, i wish she would do more raggae
5.serena
6.brandon
7.Justin
8.alex
Its hard to judge them, because each of them has talent, but thats what i came up with. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: abdulchestnut | | They all are talented in their own right. I refuse to dis-credit and of them. But, I think Moy is gonna take it. It kind of reminds me of Ruben and the other guy off American Idol. I think the marketability of the person is what's gonna get them over the top. And let's face it, Justin doesn't have more overall talent then Moy. He's good, but people look for marketability. Example, Ashanti. She's not a dynamic singer; but she's marketable!!!! | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: nycmusicchick | | ALLYSON ALL THE WAY! the most versatile, lots of training... yes, best on Broadway, but what is wrong with that? This is not a pop show- it's about a triple threat real talent... Singing, DANCING... and star quality and she has it all!! YOU GO GIRL!!! and she's original, not a clone of Eminem,Eve, or Britney....
Next is Brandon- awesome! you can keep the rest INCLUDING Harlemm because he's good, but they will NEVER give it to him because he lied, besides he pretty much does the same thing every week-
YOU GO ALLYSON AND EVERYONE IN HERE IN NYC LOVES YOU!!!!! | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: bonnie1 | | Thanks Fou! - I knew we'd eventually end up on the same page!
Dancin' only- and sangin' only- ain't 3X, only!!!
I see Brandon as one of the few with listen-ability. He's so smooth and so young and maleable - he would really grow alot with this opportunity.
I think Serena and Harlemm are the most consistant and have alot of talent but I COULD NOT, WOULD NOT buy a CD of their vocals and don't think they would improve much with the contract offerings.
Sorry! It isn't all about the riffs, even though I am one of the first to admit I get sucked in by them....
Shannon - I'm on the fence about her... I can tell she can sing and she's adorable - but do we really need another Britney?
Hmmmm.... | | Reply To this Message

I've seen what the industry can do with talent once they give them a song suitable for them. In American Idol, some of the songs the contestants chose weren't suitable for their voices. I wasn't sure what Clay could do singing everyone else's songs either, until I heard his song on the radio the other day. It was the first time I've heard it on the radio, and it was even being played by a station that doesn't normally play that kind of song.
I don't know if it's an original or a remake, but the words had something like.. lift me up, hold my hand...??? not sure.
It gave me chills to hear it and it suited him. I watched him go from regular guy nerdy type, into very handsome. That's an example of finding talent and adjusting to a style suitable for your voice.
With Shannon, even though she's immitating Britney for now, what would the reaction be if she is given an original that's suitable for her voice? I can understand a singer/dancer immitating someone else during the early stages of their career, and while trying to find a style of their own.
What she may need is someone who can take her talent and help her find her own style, just like they did with Clay and Kelly. Not sure about Rueben because I haven't heard anything by him since the show ended.
These contestants may be immitators now, but hopefully they will break out into their own, with or without industry help.
I will admit though, Harlemm has already broke out into his own style, but I don't think it's something I could listen to, or watch beyond this show.
