1. Michael (Aint Goin Down) - props to him for singing such a fast song. he just doesn't really do it for me, ya know? however, I think he fits MUCH better in the country genre.2. Allison (Blame it On Your Lyin' cheatin'...) - i thought she kind of oversang it a bit. she's much better with alternative rock songs. but she's a good singer. i just wish her personality OFF stage will improve.
3. Kris (To Make U Feel My Love) - ok i love this song. i also loved his version of it. very heartfelt and nice job on vocals. first time he really got my thumbs up. BUT did anyone else notice how tight his pants were in the crotch area? LOL I was DYING!
4. Lil' Rounds (Independence Day) - ok funny thing about this song. i wanted to sing a "big" song last summer at the town festival and i chose this. NOW I know what it's like to sing a song that's too big for your voice. i thought i sounded weak on it (but i sure sound good singing in the car!) anyways ok, back to Lil. i love her as a person. i think she is cute and spunky. i thought it was WAY funny hearing her sing a country song, though. i agreed with the judges--she wasn't herself, even though she sang it well. funny that simon kept calling her "little." ah, the british!
5. Adam (ring of fire) - ok yeah, it was a "strange" version of the song but even though I don't love adam, i thought the song fit him really well. he has some awesome high notes. seems effortless when he sings. technically amazing. but i just don't like him that much. i did think the song was kind of a cool arrangement. reminded me of Morrissey.
6. Scott (wild angels) - scott, scott, scott. something is just off for me with this kid. however, i did like how he slowed it down at first. my problem is that it sounded like a song you'd hear on Delilah's radio show (soft songs) or in an elevator--ya know? BUT he is amazing at arrangements on the piano.
7. Alexis (jolene) - first of all i have never liked this song. i did NOT like her performance at all--though the 2nd half of it was MUCH better than the first. i think she kind of blew it on this one.
8. Danny (Jesus take the Wheel) - random song choice but it was cool. i did think the first verse was dragging, but once he hit the chorus it was really good. and i have to say that I was laughing soooo hard when Simon made the comment about the jacket b/c when he first went on stage i had said out loud from my sofa-- "what the crap is that jacket about?" I am too good! Danny was funny about the parachuting comment, too.
9. Anoop (Always on my Mind) - surprisingly good. MUCH better than last week. and his hair was fixed and I swear they waxed in between his eyebrows, too! ha! i really liked it, especially the last 20 seconds of the song. but i just don't see this guy being successful and selling records.
10. Megan (I go out Walking after midnight) - was she really in the hospital?? hmmm. here's the thing with megan. she is NO WHERE near the vocalist that the others are. however, she is sooo different and quirky that it's kind of nice having her in the competition. for that reason, i hope she sticks around. i thought the song was OK. I wasn't jumping outta my seat or anything.
11. Matt (so small) - nice version. loved the piano. i can totally see this guy being very successful and on tv, etc. he comes across as "current." it was good. loved it.
Ok so who do I think should get kicked off??? Tough one. As far as performances go, I think Alexis was the LEAST memorable. BUT I think maybe Scott or Michael should go. But Scott works so hard on that piano, so maybe Michael. He's just OK in my book.. So yeah, I vote for Michael to get kicked off this week. Oh wait I don't like Adam. But he's too good of a singer, so I think he will be here for a few more weeks.
Who was the best? I think I'd have to give it to Matt tonight.
How funny was that when Randy Travis was freaking out over his nail polish and his version of Johnny Cash's song? Bwahahahhaha! That was classic.
