Michael Sarver – Performance Profile, American Idol 2009 Season 8

March 25, 2009 by vongsundara · Leave a Comment 

Michael Sarver has a good voice but not quite good enough. Michael doesn’t have the goods to be a true R&B singer, though I suppose he maybe could have a career in country music, seeing as how a great voice isn’t exactly a requirement in that genre (sorry country fans, but it’s true).

Michael Sarver performs Ain’t Too Proud to Beg (The Temptations), American Idol 2009 Season 8, Week 3 (March 25) Top 10: Motown (Smokey Robinson, mentor)

Michael Sarver has a nice tone to his voice, but he struggled badly with his upper range in this performance. The performance came off as a little too weak for the subject matter, similar to his performance of I Don’t Want To Be. The ending of the song was also way too over the top.

Michael Sarver used the stage well, and his performances have become less and less horrible from week to week.

Review Score: ★★☆☆☆
