Judges’ Pick: Jax, “Misery Business” – AMERICAN IDOL XIV
Paramore’s uptempo “Misery Business” is a great song for Jax, with lots of opportunities for vocal acrobatics and angsty, powerful moments. She delivers on all counts.

As AMERICAN IDOL XIV enters a landmark season in January 2015, the search continues to find amazing talent from across the nation. Hosted by Ryan Seacrest, and featuring judges Harry Connick, Jr., Jennifer Lopez, and Keith Urban, the series empowers contestants and viewers to share their voices in deciding who will be America’s next singing superstar.
Every year, tens of thousands of hopefuls from across the nation audition for a shot at stardom. The show’s judges will travel across the country in search of the next AMERICAN IDOL. They narrow down the competitors to a select group of semifinalists who sing their hearts out each week in front of a studio audience and television viewers.
Eventually the competition is whittled down to two finalists who compete for a major recording contract and the AMERICAN IDOL title. Past winners Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks, David Cook, Kris Allen, Lee DeWyze, Scotty McCreery, Phillip Phillips, Candice Glover, and Caleb Johnson as well as fan-favorites Jennifer Hudson, Adam Lambert, Chris Daughtry, and Katharine McPhee, have all become household names and made their marks on the recording industry.

i can’t explain it but this performance was such a miss for me

Jax winning American Idol would be the best thing that could happen to the
show. Clark and Nick are undeniably talented, but Jax is one of the most
unique, marketable, beautiful artists that have been on AI. Good luck Jax!

Another best performance of the night from Jax!
May 7, 2015 @ 1:25 am
She sounded amazing on this. Everyone please vote for her!! She deserves to
win so much. She is different and unique. Exactly what American Idol needs
in the winner.

I really liked My Immortal. I disliked this one immensely. Not a good vocal
and I’m not a fan of the arrangement in general.
May 7, 2015 @ 4:21 am
As A Parawhore and JaxPack i would say that She has to add more rock angst
to this cause hayley this did like a Queen Could , but Jax is so good ,
she’s the real winner VOTE FOR JAX PEOPLE :)

Judges should’ve picked Decode instead.
May 7, 2015 @ 4:43 am
She could’ve just sang That’s What You Get or Ignorance. Not the best song
choice but I still like it.
May 7, 2015 @ 5:23 am
I have to disagree with the judges….this is a hard song and you rocked
it!!!!!
May 7, 2015 @ 6:16 am
Yeah I disagree with judges, this song is hard to do she killed it, she
shows great artistry and the way she shows respect to others it’s so humble
.. Its amazing. Even with rayvon .. This girl deserves to win.
May 7, 2015 @ 7:15 am
THIS was really good. she should always do acoustic :3
May 7, 2015 @ 8:15 am
not great song choice from the judges. There was NO chance this was going
to be a great performance. Fortunately Jax changed it a bit, she did the
best she could do.

+Hayley Williams is one of my biggest idols, EVER. I’m a HUGE fan of +
Paramore. I was stunned, honored, and also nervous because of how much I
love this song and bang, when the judges picked this song. I just feel
honored to have sung a song by someone that I’ve idolized forever on a big
stage like this. Thank you all for giving me that opportunity. Please keep

I may be in the minority, but I liked this. I thought Jax sung it well and
I liked that she changed it up. If she sings it like the original, you run
the risk of being a copy. Good job Jax and you’ve got my votes!
May 7, 2015 @ 9:17 am
i want to like her but i just can’t stand her voice
May 7, 2015 @ 9:21 am
I had been wanting her to sing this song for a while. I thinks its funny
how the judges chose it for her. I was surprised by the arrangement. She
could have stole the show with the original but she still did good. I think
she should sing ain’t it fun at the finale and she could kill it
May 7, 2015 @ 10:52 am
I have to disagree with the judges, i think you did absolutely amazing,
honestly, id rather hear you sing instead of the original artists, and i
could see you winning this from the start
May 7, 2015 @ 11:30 am
+Jax Official X sang this phenomenally like how Keith said it. I understand
ghe arrangement to be honest coz Paramore also did this type of version,
probably where Jax based the performance, but rockin’ it like the original
would have been better. I can see why Jax did this acoustic though, I mean,
I also thought that rockin’ this and rockin’ My Generation would show no
variety as both are performed in an energetic way, and she probably wanted
to show 3 different performances to show diversity, and that’s why she
chose to do it acoustic. I think the judges picked the song because it is
punk and they want to see Jax rock it out of the park, and Jax did it
differently from what they expected. I do not disagree with the judges
because I realized that it is actually super fine to rock both songs after
an intimate piano ballad moment, but nonetheless, she had a solid night of
awesome performances. Do not forget to vote for Jax guys!

I Love Jax She Is My Last Favorite Left!!!

+Jax Official X Belated happy birthday. What an awesome birthday present to
get to go on that home trip. I wish I was more familiar with this song. I
loved it. Voting in Iowa for you!!!

It sounded like the pace of the lyrics was a problem for her. I love the
original, this was not good.
