"American Idol" Top 36, Group 1: Alexis Grace digs deep
Posted by Bob Payne
Alexis Grace sang Aretha Franklin's "Never Loved A Man."
She's got soul, although I thought she slurred the words a bit. As the song went on, she added more oomph to the vocals. And she looked great.
Here's what the judges said:
Randy: "I'm living you right now!"
Kara: "The genie is out of the bottle. It's been a pleasure to watch you come out of your shell."
Paula: [Much incoherent rambling]
Simon: "You are the best contestant so far. You may be a little dark horse in this competition." Then he compared her to Kelly Clarkson at this early stage.
What did you think?
