FWIW:

Elliott
Wrong song choice "On Broadway". That low register is tough. And the runs weren't on in the beginning. Ending was better. "Home" was nice. I liked that he sat and sang. Didn't look scared at all tonight. Totally relaxed with Ryan. I think that was my favorite Elliott performance ever. Grade: B

Paris
You lost me at "Prince". The only way anyone should sing a Prince song is to be totally NOT like Prince (Warren Zevon "Raspberry Beret"). I felt like it was more Prince than Tom Jones, but either way kills you. Not for her voice. "Mary J. Blige" I've never heard the song. It was better than "Kiss", but did they bleep out the "sh" word? Sure sounded like it to me! I thought she looked the best I've ever seen her look, esp. in the second outfit. Grade: C+

Chris
Hate Styx. Sorry. The second song, I wanted him to "headbang" it or something. He just stood at the mic and sang. Mr. Kat!! Grade: B-

Katherine
That "Against All Odds" stunk worse than my 10-year-old's football cleats. I really feel she cannot communicate the meaning behind a lyric. Perfect example: "Horses and Cherries" or whatever. See my rant at #10551, I don't have the strength to go there again. Grade: D

Taylor
"PTFM" was his "Screw you guys" to the PTB at Idol and I loved it. In their face, Tay-Tay! Was it the best performance ever? No, but it was the return of the happy dance and Taylor the way the beer drinkers love him. I thought his dancing was GREAT. Freeform and married to the music. "Something" was SEXY. And I can't believe I said that about Taylor. When he dropped that "something in the way she...(growled) woos me" the crowd just gasped. Pretty amazing. And I dig that he doesn't sing to the camera all the time like Kat and Chris. Grade: A

I missed all this last night--typing too much :)

Warren Zevon "Raspberry Beret"

From the "obscure side projects" department, name the band he performed this song under?
