"I don't even remotely pretend to understand that one. Maybe I will when I see the show."
Don't try too hard -- I saw it and have no idea!
I agree. It was a snooze.
Good night & God Bless!
OMG. I don't know the phone numbers.
ROFL! Quote of the night!
Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey...Christina Aguilera...and so on.
Gnite TOL. At least I noticed now!
I just picked myself up off the floor....he knocked me outta my chair! TAYLOR!!
Same here! I pull my hair out when they just say "he," and don't specify Taylor or Elliott! Aaargggh! LOL
night tol.
Just heard the recap five minutes ago and I already forgot it :)
That's a shame. I really like that guy. But from the remarks on the thread tonight, it sounds like he may go home tomorrow. :(
Taylor became the favorite to win when Chris left. Sounds like Taylor strengthened his front-runner status.
See ya later Jonny. Thanks for the running commentary.
I Believe I Can Fly
Taylor 03, 06, 09
Elliott 01, 04, 07
night Wolfstar.
Katherine - "I Believe I Can Fly", R Kelly - SHE DID IT AGAIN!!!! She lost the lyrics in the Chorus!!! Way oversang the second half of the song, way to much melisma, tried to many big notes. too too too much. Simon in bigtime pimp mode for Kat.
Taylor - "Dancing In The Dark", Bruce Springsteen - Fun song, good job. Not great, but he brought it home!
First round - Taylor, Elliot, Katherine -- but no one really hit a homerun so far.
Elliot - "What You Won't Do For Love", Bobby Crawford - Great Job on this song. Blew it out of the park. Perfect song choice for him. Paula did a good job picking it.
Katherine - "SomeWhere Over The Rainbow", Judy Garland - Not bad, but not great. This was boring with a capital B. Not impressed at all.
Taylor - "You Are So Beautiful", Joe Cocker - NIce understated start. Taylor going for the easy listening version, doing great. Turning it into the bluesy love song it is. Absolute Magic.
Second ROund - Taylor, Elliot, Katherine
Elliot - "I Believe To My Soul", Ray Charles - Great job, but he picked way to obscure a song again. I think he has done fantastic tonight, but I am very worried about his chance.
Katherine - "I Ain't Got Nothing But The Blues", - Cats worldwide just committed suicide by the millions. Screechy, oversung, horrible train wreck. TOtal disaster, just gave Chris fans the reason they wanted to vote against her.
Taylor - "Try A Little Tenderness", Otis Redding - Wow! This was Taylor's signature performance. Absolutely amazing. A huge home run.
LAst round - Taylor, Elliot, Kat.
RANKING BY SONG :
1. Taylor - Try a Little Tenderness
2. Taylor - You are So Beautiful
3. Elliot - I Believe To My Soul
4. Elliot - What You Won't Do For Love
5. Kat - Somewhere over the rainbow.
6. Taylor - Dancing in the Dark
7. Elliot - Open Arms
8. Kat - I Believe I can Fly
9. Kat - I Ain't Got Nothing But The Blues
OVerall - TAYLOR, Elliot, Kat
Kat should go home for forgetting her lyrics for the second week in a row, and having her third consecutive week with at least one total trainwreck of a song. However, I think it will be extremely close between her and Elliot.
I think Simon loves the ratings she brings to the show.
Final score -
Taylor - 9.9 (all 3 songs were great!)
Elliott - 7 (poor song pick by Clive and Paula)
Katharine - 6 (Rainbow was excellent but I believe I can was a train wreck and the last song was a missing the pole)
Who will go home? Probably Elliott. The fix was in.
Who should? Katharine should have been gone LAST WEEK and we should have had a great final with Chris and Taylor.
