Audition Show 2 - Atlanta

It's Atlanta and Mary J Blige! Good show, better overall talent than Boston in my opinion. Two people stood out for me and both of them have the same situation, great voice, terrible look. (Although one got her backstory told in detail (Vanessa) while Noel got almost no airtime at all.

Vanessa Wolfe had a good audition. Her voice wasn't the best of what we saw, but I always am curious about people who get a lot of airtime early on - there is the real potential they improved later on and were doing well, and were getting airtime based on that. I look forward to seeing what she looks like after she gets "Hollywooded" up.


Noel Reese tore through I HAVE NOTHING. Only 16 years old. They only showed a little of her, with 2 other people int his quick montage. Really needs to update her look as it was awful. But 16 years old with that voice? Definitely a lot of potential.

There was a lot of contestants I could see making it Top 12 or not even making it past the first Hollywood round. It was a strange show in that way, a lot of talent, nothing that stood out to a huge degree. Both shows this week kind of had that vibe. I wonder if others feel that way...

And just so you know I didn't forget, Pants on the ground by Larry Platt:

Lyrics....
Pants on the groundLookin’ like a fool with your pants on the ground
With the gold in your mouth, hat turned sideways
Pants hit the ground, call yourself a cool cat
Lookin’ like a fool, walkin’ to the town
With your pants on the ground!

He won't be going to Hollywood but he may have a hit on his hands here...

See ya next week...
