There are not rules for the
:-D
Gee, is that a wart on her chin?
She looks like a “before” picture for Proactiv.
So did I--LMAO! It was a like a Constantine puppet show.
1. Kristy Lee Cook - Anyway - THis was by far her best performance of the year, and I will go on record right now and officially proclaim Kristy the dark horse of this competition. Every season a performer has started out slowly and improved every single week (carrie Underwood and Elliot Yamin are prime examples)-- Kristy is quickly becoming that performer this year. Also, it no longer matters when Kristy leaves, the last 3 weeks have made her the next AI Country Star. Where she finishes is a moot point, Kristy Lee Cook will take the country world by storm.
2. Michael Johns - Dream On - Not sure what Randy was smoking tonight, because this was just flat out fantastic. he didn't make any changes to the original, but he didn't have too, he flat sang the hell out of this song.
3. Brooke White - You've Got A Friend - Some may have her a lot lower, but for me this was nothing short of breathtaking. She wrung every bit of emotion out of this song that she possible could. Excellent.
4. David Archuletta - Angels - OK I have to give Monchichi his props, where the last couple weeks have just been mailed in David A ballad performances, this one was awesome. Much the same as Brooke, David took this song and made you feel the emotion of it. Great job.
5. Jason Castro - Somewhere Over The Rainbow - I loved this arrangement and version of the song, and Jason did an excellent job with it. However, as sweet and nice as Jason is, he is just not in the same league as the rest of the perfomers. Nice kid, Nice voice, but it is time for him to go.
6. David Cook - Innocent - I had high hopes for this, and was left feeling like my man David just kinda mailed this performance in. It wasn't bad, but it was not his best. David is still my favorite by far, but this was disappointing for me.
7. Syesha Mercado - I Believe - Sorry Syesha, but this was every bit the trainwreck I feared it would be. I love syesha's voice, but this week she was verging on unlistenable. This was not good, not good at all.
8. Carly Smithson - The Show Must go On - The biggest disappointment of the night for me. I really thought Carly would nail this, and she totally missed the entire point of the song. The Psycho Killer Bunny From Outer Space Death Stare was back and she took Freddie Mercury's signature song and totally left in devoid of feeling. When Freddie sang this song, especially in his final months, he literally ripped your heart from your chest and wrung it dry. I felt nothing when Carly sang it.
RECAP - It is really a shame what might happen this week, because Carly is a wonderful talent, may be the best technical singer of the entire group and deserves to finish in the top 5 at a minimum, but after this week she is in serious trouble in my opinion. She has failed miserably in the likeability department, and the only thing that might save her is the fact that Syesha was such a total trainwreck. On the other side of the equation, I think Kristy may have just put herself into the top 5 tonight, she is starting to blossom and connect with her audience, and AI has a huge country following.
BOTTOM 3 - Carly, Syesha, Jason. I think Jason's girls will pull him through yet again. It will come down to Carly and Syesha, and I have to say, I am really really scared for Carly.
Yep.
too many beers and skinny legs.....just shoot me
Thank you. Runs are over-done and over-rated. Everyone does them now. I really enjoyed Jason, regardless of the fact I think David Cook is the one to beat.
Hotness
I'm kind of glad David crashed tonight. He needed to be knocked down a peg.
That's unusual for this thread--what happened?
silent.....if that thing looked up , she could stop rain
Didn’t see David Cook - but agree on Kristi and dreads.
Tattoo girl was awful, IMHO.
David the teen - the judges loved - I didn’t tonight.
I liked her too. She's defying the odds and seems to be getting stronger each week.
My Bottom Three:
Syesha (okay, but forgettable)
David Cook (Simon was right--it was pompous. And just generally sucked)
Carly (Another messy performance. This is probably the end for her :-/)
I think it was the vomit picture.
I think that was the picture of someone puking?
Am I lost....where is everyone?
Probably resting up for tomorrow night's star-studded telethon :)
I just downloaded the whole album from itunes. I haven’t been able to listen to the whole thing for ages. My album was worn out years ago - it was pretty well shot by the time I sang So Far Away in the high school talent show (’80?).
Although with several of the presumptive favorites not necessarily having the greatest week (from how it sounds) that may be a decision they’re regretting! ha!
LOL!
