Jessica Price

Well, I’m not quite sure where to start on this one. I guess if I’m being honest, it just simply wasn’t a good performance. I didn’t like the song choice, and I certainly didn’t like the very unnatural facial gestures that Jessica made throughout the song. It came across as a performance that just wasn’t quite right from the get go. I think one of the biggest challenges for Jessica up until this point has been that she is singing someone else’s material. She has yet to be given the opportunity to sing original work. This week the group will go from 20 to 10 contestants, to be decided on Thursday night. Please tell me – there are at least 10 groups/acts that aren’t going to make it right? I can think of a few from tonight’s show that won’t make it beyond this week: The Zooperstars, Daniel Jens, and The James Gang are surely gone. Please just tell me that there will be enough bad performances to let Jessica get another shot at performing. Because let’s face it – that performance really wasn’t very good. I just hope it doesn’t cost Jessica the opportunity to really show the talent that she has. If you have any comments, or simply think I’m way off base on this one, please post it in the comments section. And finally, just to be fair, I’m going to watch the video again tomorrow with a fresh set of eyes.

I think this was a great performance!   I have received several emails asking me to put this one up on the fan site so here you go.   The more I think about that night, the more I think that she really has a shot to win it all.  There simply isn’t that much competition. The only one who I think compares talent wise is Sarah Lenore.  So, let’s all be sure to vote Jessica when we get the chance!!  Singing Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time” she really caused the audience and judges take notice.   

Here is a video I came across of Jessica Price singing on a small stage at a coffee shop.   There appears to be 30 or 40 people watching her a few others perform.  The video begins with her singing Beyonce’s “You Must Not Know About Me” and continues with her singing Alison Krause’s “When You Say Nothing At All” which by the way, happens to be one of my favorite songs.  I think Jessica did the song some justice!  I’m not sure what that third song she sings is.  If anyone knows post it here so we can all know!!

Came across this video of Jessica Price so I thought I’d share.  Appears to be from 2006 when she was singing on stage at what appears to be a small community gathering.  I am told that those are two of her close friends on stage, Mitch Myers and Derek Sisson.  The video is really poor quality but you can definitely hear that voice!   It seems to my untrained ear that she definitely missed a few notes but still sounded great!  What do you think??

Singing “I can’t make you love me” by Bonnie Raitt, Jessica sounded great!   Before she sang, she talked about her father being the worship minister at church and that is how she got started singing.   Jessica talks about her father being a good musician and how he taught her everything she knows.   She apparently turned to music as an emotional outlet even more after her father left the household.  It is obvious that Jessica is truly an emotional wreck when it comes to her parents separation but how knows, isn’t that where all great artists get their inspiration from?  Hard times have brought us some great music!! Anyway, take a look at her first performance and you can tell she is something special.
