Article 2.0 - 28 Finalists
Now we are talking! VPI2 recieved many great auditions, but we only had room for 28 to advance! The 28 were divided into 4 groups of 7. 2 people will advance from each group, as well as 4 from the Wildcard which will compose our Final 12! There is alot of talent in this season, so things are bound to get exciting! This brand new adventure has only begun! Good Luck Everyone!
Group Two:
Continuing the show tonight is Jaclyn Rose Gile singing "Don't Know Why" by Norah Jones:   Nick:
Jaclyn, that was extremely well done! I think you picked a really great song for your voice. You have a really strong and beautiful voice. Try to work on making the song flow a bit better. It sounded like you had little instantaneous pauses after some words at some parts. Overall, I think it was amazing, and you have alot fo potential!
Ksenia: This was relaxing. A few tiny pitch errors("instead of kneeling in the sand" was one spot where the pitch was shaky)
I like your tone its rich and has that power there if you let it go. On the upper parts ("heart is drenched..") really open up the throat and let the breath carry the notes, you seem to be pushing your mixed voice up and its slightly flatting in color. Very nice, really enjoyed it!
Cory: Jackie you did great girl! This song is a good one for you to do, you showed great emotion, and now that we know you can belt out a ballad lets hear the faster side great job this week!
Do you want Jaclyn to advance? Please vote in the polls at the end of the show!

Here comes Lexie Lindskog, singing "Concrete Angel" by Martina McBride:   Nick:
Lexie, that was a really good performance. There were a few places where you went flat, but overall it was good and you have a good chance! Good Luck.
Ksenia: This song is so sad and just makes me want to cry! You went flat in quite a few places on the verses, but mostly on the low notes. Keep lower really light, don't push them. On the chorus you let go of the support and let it go all airy. Switch into head voice if you need to but I think you could sing it in mixed, just open the throat (you seem to be singing a little out of your throat) Taken as a whole I enjoyed it, I love the song and you got more into it near the end.
Cory: I liked this song Lexie, however I think you did it in the wrong octave, it seems low for you and id also like to hear you sing more from your diaphragm but good job!
Do you want Lexie to advance? Please vote in the polls at the end of the show!
