The girl is pretty - but like Simon, I just don't think her voice stands out and it doesn't seem very strong either. I'm also kinda bored with the "my mum was a pop star and my dad was a musician..." story she keeps bringing up. Yes, she may have grown up with music around her but that does not necessarily make her a great singer (e.g. Fookling - the Asian girl *Harvard Grad* who 'grew up with a family full of singers/musicians' as well, but just look at her singing ). That being said, yes Leah is a rather decent singer and she does somewhat possess the popstar look - but other than that, voice-wise she doesn't really stand out.

La Toya started off nice and soft, then went full volume which I didn't like that much, but it was impressive!
Leah is very pretty, and the first half was great, but the second part was off, I thought. She was kind of annoying with the hand actions too.
I like Amy cause she's fun! Her singing is very Celine though.
I love pen salesman's look but I agree with Randy - his voice is kind of weird.
So it's still Camile for me! ;D

im no singing expert but my ears know what they hear and i remember cringing when la toya started those higher 'screaming' notes. To me it just didnt sound right so i was pretty suprised that the judges gave their standing ovation. am i alone in this?
also, is it just me or are the judges, particularly randy and simon very very ridiculously repeetitive...

Leah is a mediocre singer and should have been cut since her audition, but they let her through to give her exposure for some reason. We were wondering on the American board why she made it in to top 32 - but sometimes they just want pretty girls for guys to watch. She is a pretty girl but this is not a beauty pargent (maybe she can look into acting or modeling. )the show is about good singing and quality of voice. The judges were just bullshiting when they gave her the hype. (Maybe they wanna help her get attention incase her parents wanna make her a star in Bulgaria or something.) But there's no way she would have made it into top 12 with that singing. Even the audience gave her a luke warm applause and looked shocked. It was funny to watch actually. I mean, not only is she below average but she sang a Whitney song with a Bulgarian accent and no soul. It was shocking to me how low the show has sank when I saw her and Jonah's of Hawai mediocre performances. (But the rest of their group did well) And they better not give her a wildcard.
Latoya and Amy were pretty good and the best so far this season. They should move on to top 12. Their level of singing and better is what we usually get on past American idols. But they were scraping the bottom of the barrel this season and we have too many average singers. Usually majority are good or great. I think the show should be cancelled or take 2 years off if it can't hold up to past standard. But its just about ratings now and keeping people watching Fox network.

That's what American Idol is about and who people usually vote to the top - doesn't matter if there are too many Diva style (from top 12 it was Trenyce, Ruben, Clay, Kim Locke that were the best last season) I like Camile and Jon Peter's voices too, and I actually gave Camile some votes, but I won't want them to win the show, because their skill is not on the level of the other two. But they have potential and interesting voices - just need to sharpen their singing a bit more. (most likely they would have been rejected last season) I don't really have a main favorite yet this season though - past seasons there were more good singers to root for. Lets see how it goes in the top 12. (Camile is a pretty girl too. And that usually help get votes from teen boys. Carmen last season got a wildcard from Simon cause he wanted a pretty girl and she made it to 6th place even though she's one of the average singers - she wasn't even originally in top 32.) Oh like Leah there's another girl Lisa Wilson that sang in group 4. She was just put there cause she's pretty too and wasn't good. There are usually people who can sing better than them, but they don't put them in top 32 for superficial reason.
