ive been downloading some of the american idol (season 1) performances, and i gotta say, these ppl don't move! seriously, they just stand there & sing (with the occasional yell) and don't really work the stage...
im so glad the australian idol judges constantly talked about "working the crowd" & moving around the stage, cos its really boring just watching someone sing & stand still!

i think will's voice is gorgeously smooth...every time i've heard him, his voice just flows, he doesn't try & force the notes, he just blends with the music, and with his style, it's very pleasing to the ear!
kelly i think she's got a realllllllly powerful voice, and it really shows in this performance cuz will's voice is such a contrast. Her high notes can be really satisfying when the song calls for it, however, sometimes i think she overdoes them length & duration-wise. Some ppl say she screams, but im sure it's hard to control such power.
guy, well y'kno, im just a guy fan full stop! he could sing the harvey norman song and it would still be ace! He can hit the notes kelly can and sing in lower registers, i've just seen more variation in his performances than kelly so far

The Will & Kelly duet was a horrible little thing thrown together at the last moment. Not exactly something to be analyzing in depth.
Kelly's stage presence is amazing. She knows exactly how much to move to keep everyone's attention thoroughly riveted, without overdoing it and distracting from her voice.
Those with weak voices need to move around more in order to focus the attention away from their voice.
Kelly can literally raise an arm, shake her shoulders, or wink... and make the audience gasp in amazement.

I donno... it is great if a performer can 'work the crowed' and sing amazingly as well Thats what i think. I mean, it just shows another talent! They can dance!  |
