Colton Dixon, Elise Testone :- Saying goodbye to some awesome talent.
COLTON DIXON
I was surprised and saddened to see Colton Dixon leave the competition. Although some of his interpretations missed the mark, some of them were brilliant! He sang with passion and conviction. Great to listen to.... a modern Howard Jones.
Could I sit through his concert? Very easily.

ELISE TESTONE
What can I say! I was absolutely blown away by Elise's voice. (it was mentioned by the judges that there was a resemblance to the voice of Janis Joplin - BULLSHIT. Elise sang with as much passion but that's where the similarity ends. Joplin couldn't sing, she screamed. Sorry Janis, just not my cup of acid).
Elise's voice is a mixture of Robert Plant, Rod Stewart, Suzie Quatro...but mostly Elise! Fantastic! When she was in her groove she was unmatched. Her jazz runs were tasty, her phrasing was excellent and her interpretation amazing. She understood her music. Extremely likable and humble...and HOT!!!
Could I sit through her concert? Oh! YES!
