This should be obvious, but for some reason, some contestants on American Idol overreach. I mean, why wouldn’t they overreach? It’s a show where small town Americans can become superstars literally overnight. The whole show is about overreaching.
Anyway, some contestants either choose a song that is too big vocally for their pleasantly warbling voice, or they put themselves out there selling a song they have no emotional connection to. At this point in the competition, everyone has a magnificent voice, but if you can’t make the audience believe that you are emotionally connected to the message of your song, it’s not going to be a success. Compare how season six’s Leslie Hunt (above) botched “Feeling Good” due to vocal strain and a lack of confidence with how famous Idol runner up Adam Lambert owned the song not just vocally, but with his sensational swagger.
Coincidentally this was the first time I saw Adam too (never been the same since)
