Astro: A
Spazzed out but I'm back again. This was almost like a diss track to all of his haters with so much love for his "Astronauts" and all of his fans on Twitter....like this is the song that he content leaving on. He's already transcending a genre he isn't even a part of yet. As always, it was compelling, clever, well-rehearsed and bold.
 
No thank you.

He was good. I'll easily say that but no idea if he will be safe after last week. We got a whole week to brew on him. One night/performance may not be enough to fix if.
 
So I guess they do originals on this show? Always or just this week? Either way, Astro was pretty fucking good. I can see him being very successful regardless of how far he goes on here.
 
Astro is just ridiculously good. His attitude last week aside, his talent easily puts him in the top tier of all the contestants. I hate that one mistake like that will determine his future in the show but I'm confident that after this is all said and done, someone will definitely pick him up (LA Reid I'm sure) no matter what happens. Dude is too dynamic and talented to fade away at least now.

Astro is the only one who has done an original every week. Straight talent

Astro/Chris do them because they incorporate rap, and unless it's say, a Linkin Park song, using someone else's lyrics is a massive faux pas in hip-hop.
 
I think I'm the biggest Astro fan here. I had tweeted to Astro words of encouragement. That was my least favorite song by him. Still solid but his last song he got "voted" bottom 2 on was amazing.
 
Drew is ruining this song...

...ruining in the good sense.
 
They shouldn't let Drew sing anything above a whisper. It all falls apart. I still like her though.

Edit: LA getting shitted on all night.

OK apparently she can't pull off emotionally powerful. Still one of her better performances and she didn't depend on that flourish that she always does.
 
Putting your own words into someone else's beat...especially in rap...is not talent.

Ummm...that's exactly what it is. You think every Hip-Hop artist make their own beat or something?

And Drew needs to chill with the attitude. He's only trying to help you out
 
Drew: A-
Aside from the minor vocal hiccups, it was great.....and very poignant, considering the introduction and who she was dedicating her song to (and why). It was perfect. Her voice lacks the power to pull it off as well as the original, but her voice has a uniqueness where it was done differently, but well nonetheless.

No he's not. He's being ignorant as usual. Criticizing something because it's Simon's contestant is childish. He doesn't even know what he's talking about.
 
I don't know the song and whether it was age appropriate, but I know she sounded horrible.
This.

She sounded horrible. She needs to stop doing that stupid hiccup after every note. I don't know why someone hasn't told her to stop doing that yet. And she's performing the same song every week. Change it up.
 
Hahahaha....

That was. Demi Lovato song? And LA just called it for 40yr olds. Hahahahahaha


He just looked like a fool.

Either way.. She sang it kinda mediocre but better then fricken Rene and Lakoda Rayne.

Except he wasn't. For him to say this was a song a 40 year old would sing shows how clueless he is about the industry.

He hasn't given her a single useful piece of criticism all season. Everything he's complained about has nothing to do with her vocal ability or potential as a pop singer. And if she did happen to go down the Rachel Crow-esque route of youthful bubbliness, he'd just say that she isn't being true to herself. Nothing she does will satisfy him.
 
I didn't even know who sang the song (but I was quite familiar with it), but I hate it when people criticize someone for picking a particular song and saying that it's "too old" or "too young" for them. That is very insulting. People feel all sorts of ways at all sorts of ages. Stop pigeonholing them.
 
I like LA. The show would be boring without him. His point is valid though as while it was performed by someone young that song wouldnt kill it with younger audiences to what an x factor winner needs to hit. The winner needs to be competing with shit like beiber and lmfao
