I'm a huge fan (as a lot of you know by now) of MasterClass Lady. Once again, she gives an excellent review along with her critique.
SCOTT McCREERY: “That’s Alright Mama” Strengths: Scotty – this was a very neat song choice and a perfect fit for your distinctive country style of singing.
You had such blast on stage; your youthful energy is contagious and I wish some of the other performers would channel this. You are not self-conscious in the least and, also, you are very comfortable in your own skin. The latter statement is very unique for someone your age. so kudos to you!
Also, what I have come to appreciate about you is your absolute love for the music. The ease with which you move on stage is wonderful and allows you to fully connect with your very appreciative audience.
I also applaud the fact that you have stayed loyal to your country style. You are a genuine and likeable performer and this alone will carry you very far in the music industry.
Great work, Scotty!
Critique: Scotty – why oh why do you sing out of the side of your mouth and why hasn’t somebody corrected this technical glitch for you. When you hold the mike sideways , it all just looks a little awkward to me and, even worse, causes you to adopt a horizontal position with your mouth.
As I mentioned last week,
circular is the way to go, Scotty. This round formation on all the pure vowels within your lyrics will naturally expand the depth, brilliance and uniformity of your vocal range.
Additionally, relaxing your jaw and allowing the breathing muscles to direct your vocal projection will expand your phrasing capability, which, for the most part is still quite limited.
Also, that sideways tilt detracts from a visually confident stage presence and impedes the correct application of your technical skills. I know this will take time to correct, but I just want you to be aware that it is something that does need constant attention. So, hopefully, you are working hard to refine your posture and your alignment when on stage.
However, that being said, at least you eliminated that low note ending that I was
ranting about in last week’s performance, so you are learning and growing.
Good work, Scotty!
For the rest of the Idols reviews head on over, and while your there send her some love in the comments!! <3
