Here we go...Inspirational songs...

And here we go....

Michael Johns - DREAM ON! His best rocker impersonation, really good but it was like a karaoke performance.

Syesha - She sings Fantasia's song, and then seems irked that she's being compared on it. Didn't we go through this last week? Paula loved it, but Simon said it lacked emotion. It did, Syesha still has no niche, except for Super Karaoke singer...she can do more. I'm not sure she last much longer.

Jason - Singing OVER THE RAINBOW, but apparently a ukelele version. Um..ok... I actually really like this a lot. He's signing better than he has in a while, and although the visual is silly its pretty cool how he's playing. There is always one contestant who is totally unique, but you don't think could win. (Blake was that last year and went really far.) Jason is that for me, he's quickly becoming my favorite left in the competition. Curious on the judges...they LOVE it. Yah...

Kristie is next. Her and Syesha are definintely in bad positions in the show. BUT she is very good. Hey! That was certainly surprising. Paula goes hyperbole which is never good (the week Syesha was bottom two was the week Randy said she sang the best ever.

David C - It's INNOCENT by Our Lady Peace. Good band, good song although David's reasoning for singing it is a stretch. This might not appeal to a lot of people though - they are not that popular. His singing is very so so. Indulgent is the word that I'm coming up with her. Can't wait for Simon to say it. He doesn't say that but says something equal, Paula is having a FIT that Simon doesn't like it.

Carly - THE SHOW MUST GO ON! (Not for Kady who also sang this song.) VERY tough song to sing. She looks nice today, like a pop star. (Simon's words do not go unheeded.) It's not bad, not over the top good though. Carly is like 75% Carrie, she tries the same songs but can't hit those same notes/moments. (In retrospect, Carrie was damn good...) Wow, Paula desparately doesn't want to say anything bad. She might be bottom three again.

Note: If Brooke does not suck, Syesha is in trouble. Brooke has the pimp spot, thats not good for the other girls.

David A next. Love the song, love his performance. He's really and old soul, isn't he? It wasn't even the greatest vocal at times but it didn't matter. Battling with Jason as the best thing on the show easily. Great run at the end. Judges love it.

Brooke - It's like two different shows at this point, or like the AL (Guys) and NL (Girls). Sorry fellow met fans. It's kind of typical Brooke. It's slow and dull. I'm not going to even wait for the judges comments to end what I'm writing. I don't think it matters.

I predict bottom three of Brooke, Kristie and Syesha, with Syesha going home.

interesting song choices...better than I expected.

I remember Fantasia quite well. Syesha ain't no Fantasia.

GO JASON!!! :-)

Can Kristy sing without the Larry Craig stance?

Juan said...

No, Kristy cannot.

I don't mind Syesha singing the songs she picks. I mind she seems so irked about the comparisions and actually mentions she doesn't want to be compared. For a second week in a row? That's just ridiculous.

planetmaria said...

Totally agreed on Syesha.

David C. doesn't take criticism well. At all.

Carly's in trouble IMO. I had to agree that she sounded a bit angry.

I LOVE the song David A. sang. He must have a real affinity for British performers, as that song was a MONSTER hit for Robbie Williams pretty much everywhere in the world except the USA.

Brooke, pulling out the Carole King! Woo hoo!

Juan said...

OH I forgot Carly in my bottom three. She could easily be there. I loved the song choice by Brooke but I thought it was too dull...there was nothing unique.

Great song choices, great execution by the guys, poor execution by the girls. Like every week.

planetmaria said...

Yeah, I was also underwhelmed by Brooke.

My bottom three picks: Syesha, Brooke and Carly.

Now I'm gonna go vote a bunch of times for Carly as she is in my top 5!

Does Randy have PMS? He sounds more like Simon usually does, and Simon is not so harsh lately. lol.

Randy says he can't picture Michael as Aerosmith. Can't he just judge the performance for what it is?

I still like Syesha and she's improved little by little each week. Liked her since top 24 and she's still in it. But again, she sang a song that was guaranteed to get compared and unless she's right on the money, judges will be hard on her -- Randy was. Although I wish he'd just judge the performance for what it is and stop comparing so much!

Ahhhhh, Jason is doing Bruddah IZ (Israel Kamakawiwo'ole), big Hawaiian dude version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" WITH the ukulele. Totally suits him and probably his second or third best performance. Loved it! Those who know me know why I especially liked this one :) I bet studio track is really nice.

Kristy has a nice voice, but I'm just not a fan.

Didn't like David Cook too much. Those low notes don't work for him.

Carrie's voice is solid, but I agree with judges, there was a disconnect with the song. Whoah oh, Simon says she might be in trouble.

Go David! Agree with Simon...beginning was a little flat for me, but when he belted it out, it was wonderful! Studio track must be nice.

Brook...perfect song for her. It was decent, but not her best.

Bottom 3: Kristy, David Cook, Syesha (and wishing Kristy goes)
