Will Stevie Wright get through?

Well there is no other way to put it. Stevie Wright did struggle a bit last night on American Idol. After taking the judges advice and picking a song that would make her sound a little younger. She sang Taylor Swift - You Belong to Me. The judges were all quick to criticize her performance. I think that is a little ridiculous. Stevie Wright has an incredibly powerful voice, and they want her to sing ‘I’m a happy teenager music’. Yet when she does that, and it doesn’t suit her all of the judges jumped all over her. She was only following the judges advice. I am positive she would not have picked that song if the judges didn’t try and ‘help’. I don’t think that just because Stevie Wright is young she should be singing that kind of teenage music. She is unique. She a young woman with a very mature voice.
Before Stevie Wright sang she had an interview with Ryan Seacrest where she said, “This competition is really important to me, just because I’ve been wanting to do this since I was 9 when the show began, and it’s surreal now that I’m really here. I think I impressed all the judges except from Simon, I feel like he doesn’t like me ‘laughing’. From here on now I’m just trying to showcase myself where I’m just a young and bubbly 17 year old cause that’s who I really am. Tonight I’m singing ‘You belong to me’ by ‘Taylor Swift’. I thought it is really appropiate because it’s really young, and I thought it was a good choice for the first live show.”
The one thing I can say is that Stevie Wright looked great! Her personality really shines through when she is singing. Will Stevie Wright’s performance be enough to get her through?? We will find out tonight.
Randy Jackson said, “It was not hot for me man. I wasn’t feeling that really at all. That was really safe for you, and you’re much better than this song and this performance. If I had seen that the first time, I’m not sure you would be right there now”
Kara DioGuardi said, “We wanted you to be young, but you really picked a song that had nothing to do with you”.
Paul Abdul said, “It was just not the right song for you. The low range was a little to low for you. It just wasn’t the Stevie Wright we fell in love with”.
Simon Cowell, “Stevie it was terrible. I mean everything. The song was ok. You were out of tune. The good news is at least you got some experience from this, but there is zero chance for you to make it through to the next round after that”.
Let’s all hope that the viewers remember just what Stevie Wright can do, and that last night’s performance can be blamed on the judges. They were wrong, and Kara seemed to be the only one who showed any remorse about pushing Stevie Wright in the wrong direction. Regardless of what happens we know what Stevie Wright can do. If she doesn’t get through tonight or if she doesn’t get a Wildcard spot we can be sure that this is not the last we will hear from Stevie Wright.

She’s just so much better than that, but you’re right. She sounded really nervous, but it was her first time on a live show. I just hope the judges gives her a second chance, and our people will vote for her regardless. Good luck Stevie we still think you’re the best.

Yeah, you guys are both right. It is such a shame. I just think the judges pushed her in the wrong direction. She’s soooooooooooo much better than that. I’ll be shocked if she makes it through, based on last nights performance. It’s just so much harder this year to get through.

I feel so bad for her, she’s just a kid. It doesn’t seem right that she only gets one chance to do good or bad. I really hope they’ll invite her back to the wild card round, if she doesn’t make it through

She’s amazing! Her audition was amazing. It’s a shame she listened to the judges. I hope they bring her back for the Wildcard show.
