I really liked Anwar in the early rounds. But I was starting to notice he was channeling Stevie Wonder a bit, but last night, as I said, he kept stepping away from the mic.
I understand your nervousness.
And I think I know why you think Connie is a little creepy -- he keeps trying to make love to the camera with his eyes. You can see it going thru his mind: "you love me baby, of course you do."
That's the kind of stuff I never notice. Stuff like that and the band being too loud or the background singers drowning them out and I still have no idea what pitch means! That's where knowledgeable music people like you teach me things.
American Idol is playing on a continuous loop in the other room right now. (and has been for about three hours!) My daughter was watching it and when she left she didn't turn it off, and I'm too lazy to go in there and do it, so next time Anwar comes on, I'll have to go pay more attention.
You can see it going thru his mind: "you love me baby, of course you do."
YES! That's exactly what he seems to be saying. YUCK!
You are right, some of them do get drowned out by their back ups and I think that is bad. It doesn't help them imho.
