MANILA, Philippines – Bryant Tadeo, the only male Filipino-American to make it to American Idol Season 12’s Top 40, said goodbye to AI judges and fans as he was eliminated in the 4th sudden death round on February 28 (March 1 Manila time).
He was among the last batch of 10 boys to compete for the last 5 slots in the Top 20.
Unfortunately, his performance of Billy Joel’s “New York State of Mind” was not enough to secure him a spot.
Dashing in a long-sleeved polo, the 23-year-old Hawaii native gave a smooth, heart-felt rendition of the song.
Here’s a fan video of his performance posted on YouTube:
L.A. Vess of Wetpaint.com commented that it was “one of the best in the evening in our opinion, although not one of those memorable ones we’ll be talking about years from now.”
American Idol judge Keith Urban said he felt that Bryant made a good connection with the song and liked the performance.
Nicki Minaj, however, said she liked the last bit but nothing else, a comment which was greeted by loud boos from the audience.
Randy Jackson thought it felt like the song wasn’t going anywhere and that he wasn’t feeling Bryant that night.
Mariah Carey said that though he sounded like a pro, he lost himself during parts of the song. She ended by saying she hadn’t felt a “wow” moment during the performance
