Tatynisa Wilson American Idol 10 Top 24 Performance - Rihanna's "Only Girl (In the World)"

Tatynisa Wilson is a singer who has advanced to the Top 24 (the first voting round) for the 10th season of American Idol. According to Rickey.org, she sang Rihanna's "Only Girl (In The World)" for her Top 24 semifinal performance.

Initial Thoughts

Tatynisa has been featured very sparingly throughout the Hollywood and Las Vegas rounds. And when she was shown, it was not all positive. She destroyed "I Hope You Dance" and had to start over. Additionally, her Beatles performance in Hollywood seemed average.

For the most part, Tatynisa seems to be cast as cannon fodder. To make matters worse, the show apparently made her sing first for the girls' Top 24 TV show. This is a dreaded spot that has a huge elimination rate, and Wilson must be in the top 5 vote getters to automatically go to the next round. That is next to impossible for all but a frontrunner who has to sing first.

Now, just to make it a little worse, Ta-tynisa picks an average song choice in Rihanna's "Only Girl (In the World)." This is not the type of song to impress American Idol fans. It is too fast and lacks emotion. I had some hope that the new supposed mentor (Jimmy Iovine) would put a stop to the ridiculous song choices. Alas, that is clearly not happening at this stage of the American Idol 10 competition.

Prediction:

Tatynisa comes in as an underdog and will not be able to get the votes to make the Top 5. However, there is at least a glimmer of hope that she could get a wildcard spot. This is also unlikely, however. Ashthon and Naima seem to be ahead of her for a wildcard spot (and possibly Rachel, Kendra, Karen, Julie and Thia). In other words, Tatynisa is just about the least likely candidate to advance among the girls for the Top 24 in American Idol 10.

Results:

The girls' performances will air on Wednesday, March 2, 2011. Check back after Ta-tynisa Wilson sings Rihanna's "Only Girl (In The World)."

Well, this is sort of what was expected. The song is not even written to have any emotion. She is pretty good as far as stage presence, but there's probably no one who could turn this into a great vocal performance. The actual vocals were shaky in parts but decent.

Steven and Jennifer are way too positive with their comments. Once again, Randy is the only honest one.
