RANDOM THOUGHTS: Best recording for me this week are Lauren Alaina‘s Anyway and Haley Reinhart‘s I Who Have Nothing. I like that these songs are good enough to show not only their flexible voices, which has a great deal of potential, but their ability to connect to the song. Both are fantastic recordings. James Durbin‘s Don’t Stop Believin’ is still incredibly karaoke, I couldn’t stand it. Scotty McCreery‘s Young Blood is campy and, again, corny, but what do I know right? Others were decent.
