Seems like he didn't keep the Ford Fusion...is that a Mustang?
SleepinIn, I haven't forgotten I'm supposed to do those profiles of the contestants.
Here's a start:
Paul. Okay, here's the thing (as Kara used to say). Aside from his vocal problems, I'm kind of on the fence about his personality. He's kind of too much of a charmer.The kind of guy that for some reason women do find charming and men feel kind of uncomfortable about. That's probably unfair.
His voice reminds me more of Cat Stevens than anyone else I've heard him compared to. (I like Cat Stevens.) Anyhow, it's more his musical persona, than his voice, that doesn't get me excited. Musically, I think he's kind of...old-fashioned? His song choices have not been anything I really like, and overall he doesn't seem as quirky to me as the judges say. Just kind of...lacking in uniqueness and spark. I think he has some star quality, though. Still, I think I'm being way too hard on him, all the time.
Casey. This is tough, too. Maybe his age enters into it, but to me he comes off as slightly too cute-and-clever, musically, and as a performer (mainly, as a performer). There's something about this type of performer that makes me feel I'm watching a high school play, and this kid is the cleverest one in it. And everyone knows it - and he knows it. At first it's good, then it becomes monotonous if I don't see any maturity. Like, show us inside yourself - your soul. Not easy on American Idol, I know. Ha. But see how he reacted when he was saved? - that was more compelling to me than his singing. If he can get some of that reality into his singing, he'd be more than just a dancing bear, to me.
Okay, that's all right now.
