Lil Rounds – The Way You Make Me Feel – Seemed a little old, but still good. Not sure how to classify her yet.
Scott – Keep the Faith – He is a true Balladeer. That’s where he fits. This song is very soulful so he left me wanting, but a nice white washed version of the song. Kind of like Paul McCarthy singing Say, Say, Say. The ending was better than beginning. Song is just okay, so as a result, so was the performance.
Danny – PYT – Hot!!! Loved it. Nice arrangement and great performance. He is the front runner. [performance]
Michael - You are not alone – Just okay. I didn’t feel the passion and the connection to the song. Not bad but potentially forgettable performance. I think I am distracted by his facial expressions.
Jasmine – I’ll Be there – Boring. She is just too young for this competition. All her performances are juvenile. Which would be okay if this was Kids Idol. But it’s not. She has a beautiful singing voice but its not enough.
Kris – Remember the Time – Why the hell did he have the guitar?!? You could barely hear it! I hate his little side smile. Nitwit. He missed all the high notes.
Allison – Give in to Me – Good rock performance. She should stay and deserves it. I would have picked a more familiar song...but she is sooo talented. Singing in the furniture store was weird?
Anoop – Beat It – In the words of “Mo” on the AI chat last night, “Yeah Anoop. Just beat it.” Silly, waste of time and worse than karaoke. He should have sang a slow song. I think he blew his big chance believing his own hype.
Jorge – Never Can Say Goodbye – It was corny and rough in places. New Judge was right…he should have done She’s Out of My Life. It would have fit his voice better. But I do want him to stay. I like him.
Meghan – Rocking Robin – She made crowing sounds at the end of her performance. ‘nuff said. Oh, one more thing – she stunk.
Adam – Black or White – I hate this song so I’m biased. He can sing and it had good points. But overall I didn’t like it. He did have good stage presence.
Matt – Human Nature – Loved the arrangement. Bluesy, smooth, solid performance. He’s voice strained in some places but MJ is a hard performer to copy. I hope Matt stays behind the piano. It suits him.
Alexis – Dirty Diana – She didn’t pull it off. I like her but she took a big chance and failed. It was like a kitten trying to be a tiger. It didn’t work for me. She should have done Butterflies. I still like her.
SO Top 3: Danny, Allison and Matt. Bottom 3: Meghan, Kris and Anoop.
Going home: Meghan, Kris and surprise oust Jasmine by the judges (the unexpected twist).
We shall see....c-ya tomorrow!
