It is rare to find a singer on American Idol that will impress me enough to actually want to go and buy their music... but Erika Van Pelt is actually an artist who I will continue to support after this competition. America definitely got it wrong this week:
Erika looked fierce with her new makeover. The hair was hot, the jacket was ridiculous and the makeup showcased her natural beauty. Her voice has elements of jazz, soul, rnb, pop and even rock. This girl can do it all. A graduate from Berklee School of Music, Erika is not some amateur singer on a reality show, she is a seasoned professional. Unlike Heejun who feels the need to take his shirt off and DeAndre who frolicked around with his lion mane, Erika just sang...and sang VERY well. Unfortunately, America simply cannot appreciate the subtleties of being a true vocal artist.
Tonight we said goodbye to Erika Van Pelt, but I know that we will be seeing more of her soon. She is much too talented to only have these 15 minutes of fame.
Best of luck to you, Erika!
