• Ace Young, We Will Rock You
Oh boy Ace R&B's and "urbanizes" Queen's anthem. I can't wait. NOT!!! Blech BARF PUKE!!! I can't see any way this works.
• Bucky Covington, Fat Bottomed Girls
LOL! We have been asking for this song all week, and Bucky came through for us. I'll say it now --- He nails this and is SAFE!
• Chris Daughtry, Innuendo
BIg mistake IMO. The song fits Chris' hard driving style, but I think it is going to be another Creed moment for him. This song is too obscure, too biting and too dark lyrically for AI. Chris will regret this song choice.
• Elliott Yamin, Somebody to Love
This was one of the songs I picked for Eliot. This week is a huge bubble week for him, Kat and Paris. If any of them slip up they are in the bottom 3. Eliot has the ability to just nail this song -- let's hope he brings it.
• Katharine McPhee, Who Wants to Live Forever
Excellent Song Choice, and the exact song I picked for her. Same as Eliot, she nails it she is sailing along, she flubs and she may be gone tomorrow.
• Kellie Pickler, Bohemian Rhapsody
FIrst reaction - WTF??? Second reaction --holy crap, what a brilliant song choice. If she puts a country flair on this and nails it she will have just punched her ticket to the final 3. Make or break night. This WILL be one performance that we will be talking about for a long long time -- good or bad.
•Paris Bennett, The Show Must Go On
Another one who has chosen the exact song I picked for her. Same as El and Kat -- she nails it she puts herself back into the competition, she tanks and she is on the plane back to Georgia tomorrow.
• Taylor Hicks, Crazy Little Thing Called Love
Not what I picked for him, but Taylor has the potential to make this a "summertime" "bridge over troubled Water" "Independence Day" breakout performance. Have read a handful of accounts on other blogs and news stories that people who "CLAIM" to have seen rehearsals are all saying this will be one of the greatest performances in AI history. I hope to god they are correct. GO SOUL PATROL!!!!!
You hear anything about Taylor ahving to scrap a previos choice at the last minute and settle for Crazy Little Thing Called Love?
I hope so!!! I really want to see Taylor have an exceptional week. He's waaaaaay to good to be selling real estate.
I can't see that song working for Ace. He may be gone after tonight.
I think Bucky is going to have a very good night, too.
Dunno about Chris. I think I would rather see him put his spin on a better known song, but that one could be okay for him.
Elliott should do well. With him being in the bottom 3 last week, just doing well may not be good enough though.
Katharine should also do well. I do think that doing well is good enough for her at this point. Probably won't be good enough in a couple more weeks though.
Hmmm..."Bohemian Rhapsody" from Kellie. I doubt she has the lung capacity for it. I'll be surprised if she doesn't massacre it...but...she seems to have a strong enough fan base that she could probably do a rap version and still get plenty of votes.
Good song for Paris, but I think she's at the point that she'll need a knock-out performance to stay out of the bottom 3, maybe even to keep from being voted off.
If anyone can be successful with "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", it's Taylor. He can still survive even if he doesn't pull it off, but he really needs a good night to silence the doubters.
