I am going to make some analogy of the AI 9 top 12 to some AI Alums. Now that we have the top12 of the AI Season 9, I would love to look at the previous AI alums which are remarkably somewhat similar to them. Again, I am an AI fan and I will always be.
1. Katie Stevens – Diana DeGarmo
At 16 years old, Diana was the runner up to Fantasia of Season 3. I really loved her very cute personality and enthusiasm on stage. What Katie Stevens need is to have fun and enjoy her performances like Diana did.
2. Crystal Bowersox – Kelly Clarkson
I think like Kelly Clarkson, Crystal is very consistent in her performances. She knows herself as an artist and could make it really good in the future. She needs to continuously believe in herself and perform well and will reach her to the finale.
3. Siobhan Magnus – Katharine McPhee
She has a very good voice like Katherine. I remembered Katherine McPhee when Siobhan sang her Top10 girls song “Think” by Aretha Franklin. The performance was really good especially the last note where she has to belt it so high and was perfect! Just like Katherine, She has vocal perfection. Hehehe! She needs to follow through her style and bring her to the finale.
4. Lacey Brown – Allison Iraheta
One similarity would be her red hair. Hehehehe! Musically, she can be a Carrie Underwood in the making? Hehehe (I just can’t find an Alum that is like her, Amy Adams? Fantasia? Syesha? Vonzell? Or ADAM LAMBERT?)
5. Didi Benami – Kellie Dawn Pickler
Like Kellie, she is gorgeous and sweet. She needs to move more on stage and enjoy every performance. She has got a distinct country voice that will really bring her to the top. I would love to see Didi perform Walkin After Midnight. Magan Corkrey also did a good version of the song. I hope 1950’s theme would be up.
6. Paige Miles – Kimberly Locke
She is pretty like her and got a good voice that could belt high notes. She just needs to be gorgeous like her when she performs.
7. Andrew Garcia – Danny Gokey 2.0
Aside from the glasses, they both have the very good voice. He has a really good talent. He can make it to the top if he could definitely choose his songs well and sing without hesitation. Like Danny Gokey, he can have a lot of growing fans that will support him to the top.
8. Lee Dewyze – David Cook
They both have the scruffs…Just like David Cook, he has the raspy voice that is enviable. He is also good looking that people would love to see him perform. He is one of my faves in the guys so I expect him to be more relaxed and consistent in his performances
9. Michael Lynche – Ruben Studdard
Having the size of Ruben Studdard, Michael is as awesome as the winner of Season 2. He has been very good in his performances. He sings with a heart and knows how to move around on stage. He has got a great falsetto that is really good. I hope this guy would stick around well if he gets the Ruben Studdard love.
10. Aaron Kelly – David Archuleta
Just like Archie, Aaron is young and vibrant. He sings with his passion but looks uncomfy in his performances. He needs to have the Archie factor to step up his game. He just needs to wear a smile always when he performs and look really cute all the time.
11. Tim Urban – Kris Allen
He can sing but seems so confused about him being in the contest. He can do very well if he could be more creative and charismatic in his performances. He needs to choose good songs and make it his own. Kris has the style which Tim could use to win votes.
12. Casey James –Chris Daughtry
With the style of Chris, Casey would make it far in the competition. He has the good looks plus the good voice. I just love his Heaven performance. He definitely do more of the cool performances to bring him to the top.
