Online Idol Finale

No one's posted videos yet but just thought I'd give you guys a head's up on who's left and what's taking place. Unfortunately, only one of my favorites made it through, Paige Cook. The others that made it are Mollie Evans and Trevor Hoen. They're all doing 2 songs; one is judges choice and the other will be an original song. So this should be interesting. Having to do an original will show us what they're capable of lyrically in addition to vocally.

Kendra Wolcott - Hero of War by Rise Against

Vicki Lee - Falling For You by Colbie Caillat

Online Idol Finals UPDATE

It's down to the top 5 now and 3 of them have a video up already. All my favorites got through except for Stephanie Empson, unfortunately. I wanted to see her get through. Voting works the same way, and you can vote from August 8th at midnight (Saturday) to August 9th at 5pm.

Even though it was hard to judge because the band drowned her out a bit, from what I could hear, this is the genre for her. The song fits her really well. Wasn't expecting the music video-esque aspect of it either lol.


Mollie's entry started out okay but I'm still not a fan of the screamy parts. I think she'll be better just singing softly and not belting it out.

Online Idol Finals UPDATE

The finals are here and voting is up to us (the viewers) A lot of people are gone since semi-finals.
Voting starts at Midnight on August 1st (2 days from now) and ends on August 2nd at 5pm. You can vote up to a max of 20 times by sending blank emails to the contestant's email addresses, which I've provided below

Stephanie Empson
Hmm, I wonder if she read what I wrote last time. She really stepped it up since her last video and showed off her range a bit more.

Nothing too special in comparison to everyone else. A little screamy and over the top.
