I know officially start AI at 8:30 so I can fast forward to the performances and completely miss anything Ryan Seacrest. Gotta say, its working!
Phil Stacey - So hot! I like his voice. I like the song, but it was not Wow! It was good and illustrated that he has good vocal range and control. Still haven’t seen his WOW performance, but he is still my favorite of the boys. Agree with Simon.
Jared Cotter - I like his style HOWEVER Jack Black did this song better in High Fidelity. HE had feeling, emotion and soul. Jared was just a little boring until the end. I don’t think that was the best song choice for him. And he didn’t quite hit the right note at the end.
I will say that Paula was lucid tonight. OK she just blew it with the push comment.
AJ – I thought it was an interesting song. AJ was much better than last week. We all understood what Simon meant, Ryan PLEASE leave it alone! Much better is not good enough to win this but glad that the boys are doing better.
Sanjaya – Did sister pick the song again? He did that song with very little conviction. He looked uncomfortable in his outfit. I thought he was coming out to do a Michael Jackson song, which would have been WAY better. He even seemed bored. You son, are going home. If he stays, AI is rigged.
Chris Sligh – Your what?!? Wow! Anyway, moving on, ok performance. I like his voice still and want him to stay in the competition. Guys vocally are better this week, but performances are just good. It did showcase his range and talent which is very good.
Nick – I like his raspy voice. Not sure I am down with the corny song. I definitely liked the arrangement. I look forward when he really does a soft, heart felt song. He kind of reminded me of Ace Young from a previous season the way he did it. Absolutely agree with Simon, there is a light in him that is missing, call it charisma, but he had it in his photos, he needs it on stage.
Blake – Perfect song for him! Kept his hip hop style and showed his voice as well. Loving Blake. He is struggling with the higher notes, not sure he is breathing correctly. Seems out of breath. But entertaining performance. Not on the right note or pitch or key in the end, but he was cute so we will forgive him. Simon is very correct. People hate him but he is ABSOLUTELY right.
Chris Richardson - He is a carbon copy, yet less talented, Justin Timberlake. He is going to suffer if he makes it to theme night. Everything sounds the same. With all that said, he did do a good pop performance. It was modern, it was up tempo. I think I am getting old because I wasn’t into it. But that’s my old age. I listened to it again and I did like it better hearing it a second time. Still not my cup of tea.
Sundance Head – Definitely better this week. He’s staying guys. I am still shaky with him, agree with Simon. There is more in him still waiting to come out. He has to bring it again next week to get me to dial his number.
Okay watching the replays of the guys at the end of the show, AJ was better than I thought. Sunjaya definitely, other guy is either Jared, Nick or Brandon. I like
