So I just finished watching the first live shows. The only elimination I got wrong is 'Dexter'. Here are a few thoughts:
Boys: I actually wish the Jazz guy stayed because he has a good voice and is so charismatic (plus a nice smile). I would've eliminated Chris Rene, but Im guessing L.A keeping him just for the sake of gimmicky. Also im sensing L.A have some agenda against white ppl (again this is just my hunch).
Girls: I thought Simone is very commercial and has potentials. However the other 3 girls are just too strong vocally compared to Tiah and Simone. Also like the other judges said, what were Simon thinking choosing Rachel that song that's completely not able to show her voice.
Groups: I was undecided between the Brewer boys and the 10 pieces group. But then I I decided to go with Brewer boys. Not that anything's wrong with them. It's just they won't be able to shift records.
The Stereo Hogzz has the potentials to be big.
30s: I was surprised that Nicole kept Josh Krajcik. I thought that she was gonna keep Dexter for gimmicky and ratings purpose. So kudos to her for choosing the people with more talents
