Gedeon McKinney (American Idol)



I am happy with the latest American Idol contestant representing Memphis. It is a seventeen year old young man, that's still excited about life's possibilities. His attitude about life isn't marred by racism, thank the lord. Which I think is largely the reason for his success. He is a spiritual young man. He consistently gives God the glory. I like his singing style, but I don't expect him to make it to the finals. He did a rendition of a Al Green tune "let's stay together", which is always popular with the crowd. If a singer has the ability, and can pull it off. I'll have to wait and see, how versatile his performance styles are. I didn't see the other twins I liked,the sixteen year olds. I guess they got eliminated. They were more of a tagteam duo, this may have been the wrong competition for them.Whatever happens at this point, he has shown himself to be a fine talented young man. Not a gifted thug, like the Brittenum twins turned out to be. Memphis has a history of characters, that end up overshadowing the areas genuine talent. The fact that Gedeon has made it to the final twenty four contestants. He has already done, the city of Memphis proud.

Simon wasn't overly impressed with Gideons performance last night. I think he did good enough, to make it to the next round. The criticisms made by Simon, I thought were valid. I think young Gedeon is trying too hard. He has a tremendous voice, but it doesn't come across as being natural. His performance seems rehearsed. Not that that's necessarily bad, but it doesn't work for this competition. I couldn't help but think about a story I once heard. It was about a child prodigy who played the violin. After hearing her in concert, one of the critics said this about her performance. "At this point she is very good. Well practiced and instructed in her craft. She will be great, once she experiences something". As I watched Gedeon perform, that story came to mind. Though he has an amazing set of chops, he's only 17 years old.

This is some bull. There is no way he should have gotten kicked off tonight. I guess Lady D was right, when she said America don't care how much you love the lord.In my opinion his final performance, will only be rivaled by the winner of the contest. Now he will be great.

I heard talk about a wildcard. Maybe he'll get that.
