Jena was inconsistent. Sometimes I loved her and other times she just seemed to be yelling. But I loved Barracuda and Heartbreaker . . . and of course, "Creep."

Cereal Killer · 08-09-2015, 12:04 PM

Creep was an excellent performance.

Yeah when she did good, her performances were amazing but there were times when it wasn't the best performance ever.

That's why I voted for Caleb. Interestingly, I don't listen to his performances much anymore. But that could always change.

He was definitely more consistent. I don't either (then again, I haven't been watching/listening to a lot of things in general lately) but at the time, they were very enjoyable.

Even if I don't listen to him for a while, I'll probably be listening to lots of Idols I haven't listened to in a while when the show ends next season.

That's true.

Sometimes the theatrics got a bit overwhelming for her I guess.

Maybe that's it. Some singers can't more around a lot and sing. I imagine it must be pretty difficult.

***dancing in the rain*** · 08-28-2015, 03:53 AM

Yeah although she didn't necessarily have a problem with big theatrics but they might have affected her anyway at times.

I did love a lot of her big stage performances, but her piano ones are my favourite.

Cereal Killer · 08-30-2015, 09:27 AM

You guys are probably right about things getting overwhelming for her. Her inexperience showed in those moments. But she certainly had excellent performances too.

***dancing in the rain*** · 09-20-2015, 09:04 AM

True

Some prettiness for your time.

Cereal Killer · 09-20-2015, 09:11 AM

Cool eye makeup in the first one and the second one is such a pretty pic of her!

***dancing in the rain*** · 09-20-2015, 02:37 PM

Very daring eye shadow

And really love her hair in both and those earrings too.

Cereal Killer · 09-21-2015, 09:06 PM

It is.

I love her hair and makeup in the 2nd one especially.
