Is Samantha Musa Good Enough For American Idols Top 12

Is Samantha Musa Good Enough For American Idols Top 12

Samantha Musa is a very gifted and talented artist, but is she good enough to make the American Idol Top 12? It remains to be seen whether or not Samantha Musa is good enough to make American Idol's Top 12. Many of us believe that she can make it easily, but we'll have to wait and see what other viewers think.

A Few Things Samantha Musa Will Have To Do

Samantha Musa will have to sing like she has never sung before. Her song selection is going to be critical and choosing the wrong song will send Samantha Musa home from the American Idol competition.

Not only is the song selection important, but Samantha Musa will have to be at her best when she performs. As there are only a few true amateurs in the Top 24, this will make it harder for Samantha Musa to reach the top 12.

Everyone knows that nearly all of the Top 24 American Idol competitors have had either previous recording contracts or professional experience. This is something Samantha Musa as well as the other American Idol contenders will have to deal with.

What about the American Idol judges? Well, now that they're in the weekly competition, the Judges decision will not affect Samantha Musa as much as in previous shows when Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell had the final decision. No, the judges will critique Samantha Musa but it will be the American Idol viewers who have the final say in whether or not Samantha Musa stays or goes.

Does Looks Hurt or Help Samantha Musa?

Let's face it, Samantha Musa deserves to be listed as one of the hot babes in this years American Idol. Samantha is one of the better looking competitors this year on American Idol. Whether we like it or not, looks matter and this is an advantage for Samantha Musa. Not only do looks count, but the wardrobe selection also matters, again, Samantha Musa has shown style and class when choosing what to, or what not, to wear on stage.

Not only do looks count, but stage presence also counts and this is another positive that Samantha Musa has. Samantha Musa commands the stage and is entertaining to watch move around the stage. Interacting with the audience is another area where Samantha Musa shines. Viewers like seeing performers interacting with the crowds.

What, If Any, Changes Should Samantha Musa Make?

It's no secret that the American Idol Judges do not like to see competitors perform easy songs. They want the performers stretch their musical limits. This may be one area where Samantha Musa does not have an edge. Samantha Musa will have to resist the temptation so choose easy songs and pick hard songs that will not only impress the judges, but the Viewers as well.

Since there's been 6 years of American Idol so far, Samantha Musa or the other competitors should not have a problem choosing songs. They should know what the viewers and judges like.

Another area that Samantha Musa needs to stay away from is trying to sound like a famous performer. We've seen many American Idol competitors go down because they tried to be like someone else other than their self. Let's watch and see who makes this mistake this year.

Also, Samantha Musa will want to watch what she says during interviews each week. We all know the camera looks for weeknesses. Samantha Musa doesn't want to be seen appearing week or over confident. Both turn off Judges and TV watchers. There have been several times in the past that American Idol viewers were turned off by competitors appearing whining or cocky. Samantha Musa will have to avoid making either of these mistakes.

Samantha Musa Will Need Help From Other American Idol Competitors

Just selecting the right song, wearing the right clothes and having a perfect performance may not be enough for Samantha Musa. Samantha Musa will need help from other American Idol competitors as well. This means that at least one contestant will have to have poor song selection or have a poor performance for Samantha Musa to make it to the American Idol top 12.

This will be true all the way to the end. As long as viewers dislike one other contestant more than they dislike Samantha Musa, there'll be a spot in the Top 12 waiting.

What Impact Will The American Idol Judges Have?

If history is any indication, the American Idol Judges criticism will have little effect on whether or not Samantha Musa makes it into the top 12. In the past, Simon, Paul and Randy have critisized competitors who made it all the way to the end. Although Samantha Musa may have feelings that get hurt by bad comments from the Judges, it will be the viewers who ultimately decide on whether or not Samantha Musa makes it into the American Idol Top 12. For example, last year Taylor Hicks was critisized several times by Simon as being nothing more than a lounge singer, yet viewers ultimately chose him as the American Idol for Season 6. Samantha Musa will need to make sure the crowds are pleased, not the Judges.

What Do The American Idol Viewers Like?

American Idol is really about contemporary Pop music. That is the most popular music played today and that's where the money is and American Idol knows this. This is why country singers, Blues and Rock singers have all had a hard time making it into the Top 12. They're trying to sing songs that they are not familiar or comfortable with. I believe Chris Daughtery is a fine example. He probably made it further than any other Non-Pop singer and by all rights, was by far the best of all of Season 6 competitors. So how did Taylor Hicks win? Because he had a better stage performance than Chris and could sing popular songs while doing it. Look at where Chris is now at the top of the charts. It's been stated that Taylor Hicks has just lost his contract. If Samantha Musa wants to make it to the top, song selection and stage performance had better please the younger Pop loving generation.

All in all, Samantha Musa has a pretty good chance of making American Idol's Top 12. If you're a fan of Samantha Musa, you need to get on the phone each week and vote to make sure it happens. Only time will tell whether or not Samantha Musa is in the Top 12.

Samantha Musa Moving Up In American Idol

Samantha Musa Top 12 American Idol



Samantha Musa advanced in American Idol's competition into the Top 24. Samantha Musa was one of the favorites and easily won the spot in the Top 24 American Idol list.

The next stage for the beautiful and talented Samantha Musa and other American Idol hopefuls is the weekly competiton leading up to American Idol's Top 12. Unlike previous American Idol competition's, these are voted on by you the viewer, not determined by the judges. No one doubts that Samantha Musa has what it takes to make the American Idol top 12. All that stands in the way is a poor performance or poor song choice, or perhaps even a bad night by the judges.

Samantha Musa certainly has a bank of songs to choose from. However, as we've seen in the past, some American Idol hopefuls do a poor job of choosing songs and this could be Samantha Musa's downfall on the American Idol stage.

Samantha Musa will need her most powerful voice to help her continue on in the competition, no doubt. And let’s face it. There have been American Idol contestants in the past who’ve made it a long ways in the compeitiion that wasn’t as talented as Samantha Musa. But we all know that sometimes it’s not the most talented that go on to the final 12 in American Idol competition, sometimes it’s nothing more than a local favorite getting their hometown (or home state or home country…read Sanjiya) to vote for them.

On a lighter note, it was rumored that Samantha and other contestants were out on the town last week, hitting all the hot shopping spots. Jewelry, electronics and obviously clothes were on the shopping list of the Contestants. I guess the money is burning a hole in their pocket. One report had it that Alaina Whitaker and others may have bought new navel rings, but I can't confirm that.

Samantha Musa has what it takes to make it to the Top 3 in the American Idol competition, the only question mark at this time is can it be done with a fickle crowd and can the song choices and performances go off without a hitch?

We’ll just have to turn on American Idol and watch American Idol every week to see if Samantha Musa can wow the fans of American Idol.

Samantha Musa | Top 24 American Idol

Samantha Musa made the cut to become one of the Top 24 American Idol this past week. Word was leaked early on that Samantha Musa would make the cut. Apparently there are people at American Idol who have loose lips!

Samantha wowed the judges once more with her singing. She has shown that she has what it takes to compete against other contestants on American Idol.

Samantha hails from L.A. and she auditioned in San Diego. At the Audition, both Samantha and her sister confessed to having a crush on Simon, which bothered Randy and Paula. In fact, Simon asked her Sister to help co-judge Samantha Musa's audition, which she gladly did.

Once Samantha Musa was in the audition room, her Sister threw a paper airplane in. The airplane itself was a note to Simon, which read:


"Dear Simon, please let me in. Please, please, please. You're on my list of who
I want to meet, along with who I want to meet along with Oprah and Obama."

Hmmm, I don't know if I would have let her in or not...lol She was easily voted to go on to Hollywood.

Samantha Musa sang Aretha Franklin's "Until You Come Back to Me" in front of the 3 judges and Samantha's sister. In celebration, Samantha and her sister gave Simon a group hug, which I'm sure he enjoyed very much.

Once Samantha got to Hollywood, her music kept her on top of the game. I look forward to seeing more of Smanatha Musa on American Idol in the upcoming weeks.
