American Idol Live Reviews

MUSIC BRINGS ALL AGES TOGETHER

The show in Salem OR went without a hitch, organized and smooth like they are all seasoned pro's. I didnt see anyone letting this get to their heads, when they sang they gave it all their best to please the audience. They gave 100% and then some. I could see that all the singers were doing their very best. . Maddy P. did the song everyone knows "Brand New Key" as cute as can be, just like on TV. Caleb and her duet together was an old song everyone knows, by Carol King "You Got a Friend" while guitar shredder Cade Faehner rocked it on All along the Watchtower! The 80s rockers loved Gabby's version of Don't Stop believin by Journey. These songs stood the test of time, and the audience was a mix of ages! Music brings people together. I didnt see them in Boston but I saw them in Salem, OR and I am sure they did the same songs. Katie Turner is energetic on stage, obviously loves what she does, she did "walk like an Egyptian." I would go see them again. I wish they had more merchandise!

WORTH IT IN SPITE OF SHOW’S CHINTZY FEEL

Just saw the show tonight. The opening act was a karaoke style performance by 3 young guys. Nice voices, blended well but poor quality material that sounded alike for the most part. The Idol show features several standout performers including Caleb, Maddie, Gabbey, Cade (amazing guitar work). Disappointing was the feel that the tour was on a shoestring budget. There was no live band per se. There was an outstanding musician who played keyboards and guitar along with pre engineered? bass and drums and a mixture of the Idol contestants. Cade as noted played incredible guitar on most numbers. But overall the musical instrument sound was not crisp or fresh and the visual excitement of a band’s rhythm (drums and bass) section was badly missed. Kris Allen a previous winner was a pleasant surprise host and cast addon. He was excellent playing guitar and singing. Would recommend it for the enjoyment of talented young singers and Cade’s guitar playing and singing. He has subtle but mesmerizv

GOOD SINGING. ODD SONGS

The singing was goid for the most part but lthey did not sing popular songs or songs peiple would know. Not bad for the price. Caleb was great and had a great stage presence.

TERRIBLE SHOW

Really boring. No special effects or anything fun. Costume changes were a joke. Singing was nothing special. The opening act was cute. (Winners of boy band) We were 6 ppl and so bored we left 3/4 of the way through. Don’t know how we made it that long.
