American Idol 14: House of Blues Showcase

I admit, I have no plans of posting anything about the House of Blues as I plan to discuss everything on a usual post for the blog once the semifinalists have been announced, but since I received a couple of requests, I will give a quick ranking of how I think the House of Blues went. Again, this is just their performance on this particular round.

As for the in-depth analysis of this year's Top 24 - as per usual - let me do that in another post, which I will publish in the next couple of days. 

You may watch the whole performances of the Top 24 on Vevo's YouTube channel, HERE.

How did you rank the Top 24 based on their House of Blues performances?

GIRLS

12. Loren Lott

My Heart Will Go On

I like her. I hate the song. 5

11. Alexis Gomez

Better Dig Two

So what if you can sing in Spanish? Big deal. 5

10. Adanna Duru

It's A Man's Man's World

There's a quality to her voice that was pulling me out of his performance and she's just way too dramatic, no? 5.5

09. Maddie Walker

Big Girls Don't Cry

I liked that she went outside her country roots with the song choice, but she's not the most exciting one in the bunch. 6

08. Shi Scott

Higher Ground

Either you love her or you hate her. I'm fine with her. Haha. 6

07. Shannon Berthiaume

Piece Of My Heart

Raw, but strangely compelling. 6.5

06. Lovey James

Wings

Moldable popstar! 6.5

05. Katherine Winston

Rhiannon

There's a quiet confidence about her that I really like. 7.5

04. Joey Cook

Sweet Pea

Was it just me or she's like the lovechild of Sia and Lady Gaga? 7.5

03. Jax

You And I

I hated the unnecessary pause, but everything else sounded divine. 8

02. Tyanna Jones

Love On Top

I seriously didn't think she had this in her. A pleasant surprise. 8

01. Sarina Joi-Crowe

Big White Room

It took her four years to get to the live shows? Was she significantly bad last year that she got cut? This was superb. 8.5

BOYS

12. Mark Andrew

Take Me To Church

This came off as if he was a random guy forced by his friends to sing on stage. Really. 4.5

11. Daniel Seavey

Straight Up

He's got a good edit so far this season because those little breaks in his voice sounded unpleasant. Just too raw. 5.5

10. Trevor Douglas

Burnin' Love

A little too frenetic for my taste. 6

09. Michael Simeon

Classic

Good, but forgettable. 6.5

08. Adam Ezegelian

Here I Go Again

Solid karaoke version. 6.5

07. Savion Wright

I Don't Trust Myself

There's a clear musicality to Savion's rendition, but it needed a little more oomph to create a lasting impression. 7

06. Riley Bria

Love This Pain

Other than his terrific guitar playing, Riley has an undeniable ease when performing and that's always a good thing. 7

05. Qaasim Middleton

Satisfaction

Fantastic energy. Awesome stage presence. Compelling. 8

04. Nick Fradiani

Drops of Jupiter

I don't understand how he's not signed with a record label at this point in his life.  8

03. Quentin Alexander

Youth

He may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I'm having that tea any day. 8.5

02. Rayvon Owen

Lay Me Down

Just beautiful. 9

01. Clark Beckham

Georgia On My Mind

GAME OVER. 9
