Judges comments on Michelle singing Creed’s “With Arms Wide Open”
After giving what the judges called a “predictable and safe performance” with Alicia Keys last week, this week Michelle said she wanted to take a risk and sing something completly different–Creed “With Arms Wide Open” Her risk taking this week seemed to leave the judges feeling differently.
Randy pointed out a few pitch problems but said her outfit was HOT. He however felt that she didn’t do enough with the song and it just fell flat for him.
Ellen however felt that she did do a lot with the song and even forgot it was a rock song at times. She enjoyed it and liked that she tried to do things different with it!
Kara said it was her favorite performance of Michelle’s EVER. She said even though it was not techinally perfect, it felt believable!
Simon said he was actually with Kara this time. He felt the first half was much stronger then the second half. He was happy she took the advice from last week and got about 80% of it right.
Be sure to check back soon for the video from tonight’s performance!
