Tatiana Nicole Del Toro. 24, Puerto Rico.

Sending All My Love by Whitney Houston.

Oh, gawd, even the intro vidclip has her crying crocodile i.pods. She sashays onto the stage, and actually almost hits the first line. Notes, yes; tone, not quite; it's too understated to the point of almost being inaudible. But she quickly brings the volume heading into the title and doesn't miss the end note by much. The arrangement jumps to another part of the song, which is clever given that she probably wouldn't have done well on the omitted parts. If she'd avoid the high note (impossible in a Whitney song, I know) she might pull this off. But every time she goes up the scale, it's painful. Held notes aren't bad; the rest is the problem. And a pitch issue at the end, that's hard to forget. Meh.

A 5.

Randy: Listen. You know what? When I heard you were singing this song, I thought you would rough it up. But some moments, I thought, "She can actualy sing!" That second verse, the melody was weird. But Tatiana, there were moments.
Kara: It's a roller coaster ride with you. Tonight, it was a very reserved Tatiana. Yeah, there were moments. You hit some of the notes. But who are you musically? Where do you fit? Are you a character, or an artist?
T: Everything! It's world music!

Poler: You're the most talked about contestant. Good, bad, indifferent; you're being talked about. I'm not used to the demure. But you had beautiful moments and pitchy moments, and I don't know who you are today.
T: Sometimes I get very excited. I didn't know I would react that way.
Simon: You are a complete and utter drama queen. I've never met anyone in my life, except Paula. You are desperate to be famous.
Poler: And you AREN'T?

T: I'd love to have the opportunity to market myself professionally.
Simon: It wasn't bad. Better than I expected. You've got to lose this demure thing, it actually makes me nervous. Do the weird laughing.
(Kara does it for her.)
