No she didn't. I had my fingers crossed that it would be Anwar, but oh well. Maybe next week.
The judges keep boosting Nikko, even though the man can't sing -- unless one considers ultra sharp (as in off-key sharp, not cool), not-quite-falsetto, tuneless noise as singing. He's not quite as bad as Mikalah, but close.
Ouch! (LOL) Nobody is as bad as Mikalah :) Nikko's problem might be that he's trying too hard. Instead of letting the song flow naturally, he forces it to go where it doesn't want to go. His performance Tuesday night demonstrates this, and I agree with you, the result was just noise.
I'm putting all my chips on Carrie now. Bo is still a favorite, but if his Black Crowes schtick is any indication of what's to come, forget it. I think he would do much better with some slow Blues songs instead of Rock--and somebody please tell them all to stay on the stage! That jumping-on-the-table stuff is so tired.
(See you on the Dose. I expect it will be a rough one tonight.)
If excellent vocals count for anything in this competition, she should win easily. However, eventually Bo or Constantine will go home. Then all the young girls with crushes on one or both of them will vote for the remaining rocker. In the meantime, if the chatter among the kids on the AI boards is any indication, Simon really hurt Carrie with his over-the-top praise last week, and there's a backlash against her.
BTW, I don't like Anwar either. He and Nikko have similar singing voices. That high-pitched girlish style of singing by men has never impressed me. Give me the rich, rounded, resonant tone of real men's voices anyday.
