"American Idol" Top 36, Group 1: Stevie Wright struggles
Posted by Bob Payne
Stevie Wright sang "You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift.
Her voice just didn't seem that special. Bubbly personality, sure. Memorable performance, not so much.
Here's what the judges said:
Randy: "You're a better singer than this performance."
Kara: "That song was not right for you."
Paula: "The low range was low for you. It wasn't the Stevie Wright that we fell in love with."
Simon: "It was terrible. At least you got some experience."
