HSM: Get in the Picture (part II, round II of casting calls)
Lindsay Diokno watches another episode of High School Musical: Get in the Picture:
So the second part of round II of casting calls is the same as the first round -- there's a dancing segment, a solo segment and a duets segment. The final 10 get cut down to the final six.
First, this second batch of judges seems a lot more critical than the first batch, and I'm kind of pumped about that. Yeah, they're young kids with fragile egos, but there's also such a thing as positive criticism to help you improve your performance.
Let's fast forward to the final 10, who made it out of 30 semifinalists, and the duets round:
-- T.J. and Shayna sing a country song called "You'll Think of Me." I've never heard it, so I don't know how it should sound, but I think they sound pretty good. I feel like Shayna was overpowering, the judges feel T.J. didn't step up the volume enough. I may be pulling for T.J. a little more because I think it's interesting that he's from south central L.A. and he's managed to stay out of gang life. Hey, it's more interesting than hearing "I'm a small town guy" about 40 times in a row.
-- Ether and Lauren sing "Hold My Hand" by Hootie and the Blowfish. It's a nice performance, and I'm kind of surprised how quiet, borderline-awkward Ether is packing a powerhouse voice. I'm a little less bowled over by Lauren, and the judges say the same thing.
-- Madison and Christie sing "Vacation" by the Go-Gos. Score. I love '80s girl bands. The choreography is really energetic, but I'm kind of iffy about the singing. I do like that two girls with a lotta hair volume were paired together.
-- Sean and Brittany sing "Inside Out" by Eve6, and ... it's pretty atrocious. In their defense, this is a rock song, it's not a "singing" song, so that puts the duo at a disadvantage. But Sean's dancing is really Broadway, and Brittany's harmony is way off from Sean's.
-- Stan and Christina sing "Everything" by Michael Buble. Stan did a lot better than I thought he would, and the whole thing is pretty adorable.
But four have got to go, so the six that are headed to Utah are:
-- T.J. from south central L.A., whose mom throws herself down and starts crying, which makes me want to cry
-- Christie, the 4-foot 11-inch blue-eyed blond from Hawaii
-- Stan, the former high school football player who the judges feel is a little awkward
-- Shayna, the self-described overachiever from a small town who also plays guitar
-- Ether, the quiet band geek who can definitely sing
-- Christina, the other petite girl from Hawaii who sings at a local cafe
My DVR cut out in the middle of next week's preview, but I did see a promising segment that guaranteed to start drama -- the other contestants tell each person what they think of him/her when they look at him/her. Very, very promising.var oMoveHandlebottom = new MoveButton("bottom_move233006878", "bottom_move_select233006878"); var oReplyHandlebottom = new SplitButton("233006878bottom_reply", "233006878bottom_reply_all");
