Well, I didn't hate her by any stretch. I think she has a good voice and I think she can improve. I hope she gets through.

Big X.
She's a perfect example of Idol production. They want her on the show, tiny little thing with her ohso-edgy pink hair and her lil baby. So they put her up against Stevie and Casey whose only purpose is to make others look really good. Alexis has a very thin voice. A different contestant would have been called out for daring to sing the iconic Aretha. |

See, to me, it's a Carole King song, so it's not so indelibly associated with Aretha. Maybe that's the case for other people too - well, the
oh-so-crucial over 40 AI demographic, anyway.
Never mind, I'm an idiot. I was thinking of Anne Marie's song. The over 40, pre-alzheimer's demographic, checking in.

Busted. I'm over 40 and I liked her. My 7 yo daughter doesn't know who Carol King is or Aretha Franklin, and when Alexis was singing my daughter said,
"She sounds like a black woman." At that point, I explained the concept of "blue-eyed soul." Yes, the Aretha, Carol and Kelly comparisons
(direct or indirect) were a little to "big" for her. But I think she came off as a pleasant surprise.

I don't know if hate is the right word, but definitely indifferent. I found her performance kind of 'meh', and not sure it was worthy of all of
the praise.

Why did she think dressing trashy would make her appealing to people? Go home and take care of your baby, little girl.

She comes off kind of feeble or sickly. I expect snot to run out of her nose and for her to push up her thick nerd glasses. I'm also afraid her frail body
will break while she's singing. Her voice? Not impressed. I was quite surprised the judges, esp Simon, liked it so much.

How could you hate Alexis?

I'm sure she's a nice girl. The vocals just aren't all that great. Did anyone really get chills listening to that last night? Simon could have just
as easily called her a cruise ship singer.

I hate her because she's a whore and complete fake bitch. But she was miles better than the other females, excluding Tati (who transcends gender). The fact
that her performance pretty much assures a ticket home for that haggard bitch Ann Marie makes me almost forgive her for the fact that she's a stupid slut.

Ugh, I knew there HAD to be a reason for the ridiculous pimpage of such a shitty, boring contestant. I thought it was just the pitiful single mom angle, but I
guess there's more to that. Why can't we get an arrogant person for once? I'm so over sob stories.

I think if that were the case, I would think they would have milked the sob story angle on that. Not saying it's not true, but sounds a little far fetched.

Alexis did kinda look like those tween hookers Maury has on his out of control tweens and teens shows.

I really hope there's nothing wrong with her Cowardly Lion father.

I think she looks like a young Patricia Arquette, but with better teeth. Tatiana's lucid revelation aside, I think Alexis gave the best female vocal
performance, not that it's saying a lot. Her voice is nowhere near as rich as Kelly Clarkson's, but she managed to eke out a little bit of soul. She
definitely deserves to move on, imo.
And I'm with Seaguy regarding the father w/ the heart transplant thing. Not that I don't believe it, it's just that if they're that intent on her advancing, seems they would've exploited that angle already. |

Alexis: the Syesha of season 8 - third place isn't too shabby | ||
|
I voted for her nonstop last night. She is the blackest sounding white women I've ever heard, aside from Motown singer Teena Marie. And on Idol,
there's no such thing as too many white singers who sound black, especially when they do it well (unlike Ann Marie's meh performance). She reminds me
of season 2 semifinalist Candice Coleman both vocally and physically. However, while Candice Coleman was unfairly not invited back for the Wildcard round,
Alexis will be (if Titiana gets more votes then her) and will go on to be the last women left in the top 12 (out of only 4 to begin with, admittedly) after
Li'l Round's shocker elimination on top 6 results night.
