    Still on the Blocker Train! He sang that song and owned it. He’s unpredictable when it comes to song interpretation, and the way he delivers the vocal. He’s exciting to watch, and to all the complainers about Jack not deserving to be in the top 10, well, sorry that your favorite didn’t make it. He’s one of a few who keeps you locked in, from start to finish.
    Go Jack!

    Sunday’s show was better (as a whole group) than tonight which shows everyone cannot be perfect every night. The only reason Jayna is not in the top ten (and Will Mosley is) is that AI just does not have a big following by the black demographic. Triston, Jack and Mia are still my favorites but Jayna had the best voice of anyone, she was terrific! Not that anyone cares, but if Will wins instead of Triston, I will scream fix.

He takes and old folk vibe and makes it more contemporary somewhat like the Civil Wars did or the Punch Brothers. Or even Watchhouse. He is at a different level from the others in my opinion.

    Jack has beautiful vocal ornaments, but needs to step away from his guitar and 🎤 just sing. The audience needs to see his showmanship like Kayko and Roman has! Kayko and Jack will most likely beat out Will and Tristan because they can sing several genres well! Kayko also plays the piano 🎹, so he might shine ✨ brighter if he gets behind the keys.

    • @bearnpici
      @bearnpici 8 місяців тому

      I’m not sure I agree. I don’t think the advice from Luke to work the stage is what everybody really needs to do. I don’t mind Abi behind the piano or Jack behind his guitar - it is what they do and represents who they are. They performances don’t suffer from it. Now this advice might be good for someone whose singing isn’t all that great and so showmanship must make up the difference. I put Luke in that category actually.

      Absolutely loved it. Jack is able to really make a song his own as though he wrote it. This level of style and command of his vocals is really outstanding and rare for AI. His inflection and choices with sometimes a rasp and sometimes clear tone, his ability to play with timing all adds a sophisticated dynamic quality. He really feels the music and interprets it his own way. I’m glad he isn’t just trying to do a copy of what someone else already did. And frankly the judges pointed this out as well. He is a great artist and has his own signature style.
