Re: Amanda L. Overmyer - Season 7

I can't imagine watching a 90 minute Amanda concert . . . Joplin does the Beatles. . . Joplin does Celine. . . Joplin does. . . whoever. Amanda is such a one trick pony, the same sound and the same stance on stage each week.
I do have to say that her look was a little softer this week.

Point is...Pat Benetar and Joan Jett could both outsing Joplin, IMO. So to say she sounds like Joplin in my opinion, isnt positive.

Re: Amanda L. Overmyer - Season 7

She doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of winning, her days are numbered, but until she's eliminated, I don't mind putting up with her way of performing. At least she's interesting. She's not the worst of the 12 by a long shot.

Couldn't agree more.

Closer to the worst than she is to the best though.

I'm not an Amanda fan, but I did like her Beatles cover.

Anyhow, I've got to disagree with you here. Benatar and Jett aren't icons like Joplin, whose voice helped define an era. I think Benatar and Jett are extremely talented, but they're not in the same league as Joplin. (And I don't think Amanda sounds like Joplin--though she's trying hard to imitate her.) A lot of people can technically outsing others. Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and Chistina Aguilera could outsing Joplin, as well as most of my favorite bands...but that doesn't mean I like their style. Mick Jagger technically has a horrible voice but I like a lot of his music... Rod Stewart--another horrible technical voice...but "Maggie Mae" is one of the best songs of its era...

Re: Amanda L. Overmyer - Season 7

Benetar and Jett were icons in the 70's/80's era of rock/pop music. Janis Joplin was before their time, even.
