she really did look amazing tonight. i’m really in love with this girl. and man… i loved the performance. she(along with David Cook and Brooke) made me actually enjoy some Beatles songs… because honestly, if they hadn’t of spiced them up I would have hated it.

And she actually looked up at the audience for a change instead of singing to the floor. I loved it.

In person she looks so much like Miley Cyrus, no joke. LOL

She did look pretty tonight. LOVE the hair. Don’t go back to the “sun goddess” style that we saw in the top 20.

Ack, I think she’s a one-trick pony…Janis Joplin is her thing, and that’s about all she sings really well. She slurred all the words together in this song…I will admit that I like the performance better after listening to the MP3. But I’m just not a fan of her voice. Sorry!

Go Amanda! I really like her gritty style.

I agree with clayedmyheart. I think she is VERY VERY good at what she does, but what is she going to do on some of the other genres that will put her out of her comfort zone? I’m just not convinced she’ll do well yet. That being said, this was an amazing performance.

she’s like a rocker Joss Stone. love the voice. i’ve been a fan since the start.

I was totally hoping she would sing “Helter Skelter”. All-in-All, I love voice.

I meant to say “I love her voice”, but since I’m here again, I might as well be honest and say that I do agree with ‘claymedmyheart’ up there about her voice being a bit “one-trick”. She really does need the perfect song cause after listening to her performances week after week, they all start to run together. I still love her voice, but right now I’m not feeling any possibilities of variation, which I guess is alright if you’re already a defined artist, but not so great if she wants to open up her fanbase, or offer up something different to her existing ones.

Her hair was great! Way more in-tune that previous weeks, great job.

I don’t get it. I really don’t like her sound. It is not something I’d want to hear on the radio. She is not that good at all!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally! This girl actually sounds good when she DOESN’T try to yell and scream through her songs. If she continues in this vain, she might actually get some votes from me eventually. I thought she was quite good.

Amanda is terrific. She sings like she means it. Her style is definitely distinctive, but I think she might have more ‘tricks’ than one, maybe veering a little country or a little soul.

Finally I get her after this performance! That was great, I really enjoyed that performance!

I absolutely loved it. Fantastic soulful take on it, and it suited her to a T. I’m not sure her appeal is main-stream enough to take the big prize, but I think there’s a place for her out there in the music world. I think she needs to front a band.

I still can’t hear any melody or any tune from any of the songs she sings. Not to mention understanding the lyrics.

Fantastic Tina Turner vibe though.

Hi GirlyGirl! Once again, you and I are on the same page. I like Amanda, and I liked her performance of this song. Considering that I think AI should not be allowed near Beatles music, that’s really saying something.

Dear Amanda,

I am an accomplished artist and am currently working in the industry. I simply wanted to express to you how absolutely amazed I am at your style, passion, and especially your voice. Being in the industry I have seen them come and seen them go, all for wanting. Wanting for what you have, … power. Now I don’t mean power screaming out loud like a crazy person, like Carly Smithson who I feel over does pretty much everything she sings/performs. Plus I feel Carly is playing to the audience, which is the last thing you should ever do. What I’m talking about is power of the stage and of the audience. I think the only other contestant that has that power, range, and style is David Archuleta who I think is also amazing.

All I would say to you, is to continue to throw it out there love, don’t hold back. Actually let it all go, be brave, be vulnerable, take those calculated chances to show who you are. Bottle all that up, shake it up as hard as you can, and blow it out at the audience. Believe me, they’ll swallow every single drop.

I wish you the best, amazing voice and performance.

Quick update, in my last note, I didn’t mean David Archuleta, I meant David Cook.

Thank you.
