She does Yesterday on the piano and it is QUITE good.
But the love doesnt last forever.
Maybe one dayAmerican Idolwill realize it doesnt need these kinds of moments.
Just give us the good stuff!
Music is in Kimmys blood her father is a musician and shes learned everything from him.
And a little Google search confirms that shes all over Nashville.
It makes sense because she isextremely good.
Katy was struck by the emotion that comes through her voice.
I would like to download her original song IMMEDIATELY.
Theres a chance she could be awful but shes not!
The judges are moved.
Luke cant even speak when shes done.
She sounds much more mature than her 16 years.
That voice is 1,000 years old, Katy tells her, moved by her gift.
Because shes an easy yes.
Be less trick-sy and more connected says the Lady Perry.
She and her husband met dancing to Lady and walked down the aisle to that song at their wedding.
The stuff dreams are made of!
This man has beenthrough it, and that pain is completely present in his voice.
Its not a big performance, but its a powerful one.
Hes definitely someone Im looking forward to seeing again in Hollywood.
By which I mean, she shows up at the audition in an iridescent bucket hat.
They like her personality and her character and are into her vocal chops.
Well see if she drops the gimmicks in Hollywood and really lets her talent shine through.
Shannon Gibbons, 20, Bellport, N.Y.Id Rather Go Blind by Etta JamesWhat do you want to know?
I teared up within the first three notes this girl sings.
Shannon is a working musician in New York, and has dealt with mental health issues her entire life.
Music is what saved her.
Her voice is smoky and immediately gives me an Amy Winehouse vibe.
This is why I keep coming back to this show, says Katy as soon as Shannon is done.
WELL BE THE JUDGE OF THAT.
Regardless, I have high hopes for Shannon.
Since then, she tragically lost her 18-year-old sister Corinn in a car accident.
Its an emotional audition, knowing Genavieves story, but it isnt exactly the most dynamic one.
She basically just belts the chorus of the song the entire time.
