This season of American Idol is shaping up as the best yet. With the help of Interscope legend Jimmy Iovine and Geffen CEO Ron Fair, the contestants are utilizing tips and trades from the legend to their advantages with some of the best performances to ever hit the Idol stage.
The Judges are working pretty well together even though Randy Jackson has the "position" as the tough guy, Steven Tyler has been the one a couple times to lay down the truth. Jennifer Lopez is doing well, but may be a little soft sometimes in her expressions of the performances.
As of now, not from a fan stand point but from a talent stand point, this is who I have in the top three, and why they are there.
1. Pia Toscano - Great control, hits the keys, great looking girl, with a very powerful voice. She holds the ideal market for young girls. A disadvantage of hers is the consistent ballads. I would have her switch it up and release a pop style track with her vocal. That would be a great performance, with a great stage performance and presence.
2. Paul McDonald - This guy has the smile, the voice, the qerky style that makes him that much better. His vocal style is very unique and will sound very good on the radio in a more laid back acoustic style track. Perhaps even a James Blunt style but brighter.
3. Scotty - Country music in his soul. If he doesn't win American Idol (I don't think he will) he will most likely get a record deal from Interscope or Nine. I would have him do nothing but sing those country songs. And of coarse finish school.
Why won't James Durbin make it? Those highs will only be enjoyable for a short amount of time. That style of rock is no longer in "style".
I'm curios how the season will shape up to with performances by Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez coming up. How will the contestants react to upcoming changes and the fear of being sent home?
How will the X-factor and it's five million dollar grand prize effect American Idol?
That's all to come along with a new blog about independent artists who promote themselves, and the world of digital distribution and content.
