"American Idol" Top 36, Group 1: Ann Marie Boskovich belts out Aretha

Posted by Bob Payne

Ann Marie Boskovich sang Aretha Franklin's "Natural Woman."

I thought she sang the song well at times, while at other times it seemed like she was shouting.

Here's what the judges said:
Randy: "I thought you were sub-par."
Kara: "You have to kill it" if you're doing to do that song.
Paula: "Compared to what we've heard, I thought you did better."
Simon: "If we searching for the best hotel singer, that would have been good. But in the real world, it wasn't good enough."

What did you think?
