Howdy!!! Oh my goodness! The Rat Pack!
Rat Pack night!
Hello honorary Blue Eyes...I remember reading that...nice opener!
Hi Jonny. :)
Adam sang one of my favorite songs and I’m sorry I know I’m not right but I hated it!!!!!! I love Feeling Good, but he was way over the top and I know they all loved it, but I honestly hated it. I don’t like him, I don’t like his voice. He is way too theatrical and I only like theater in the theater...... Is something wrong with me? Loved Danny and Chris though. I liked Matt too, but I’m weird that way. :/
I’m not even going to try to rank them this week — the theme and their choices makes it hard to really give a 1-5 breakdown. So, I’m just going to talk about them...
Kris and Danny — both quite solid performances, but really were simple throwbacks to the era. I didn’t get much originality out of either of them this week. Given that Kris got the “slot of death”, he might be in trouble this week, even though he doesn’t deserve it.
Matt — this should have been right in his wheelhouse, but while he did OK, he once again was trying too hard, and really overdid it with the “coloring up” he tried to add in. Not sure if Simon’s comments are going to hurt or help him.
Allison — on the whole, she exceeded my expectations. She’s not the most technically sound singer... probably the least so of the remaining 5... but she did a credible job on a ballad. In her case, I’m glad she resisted the temptation to “rock it up” — she still has that distinctive voice which I think transcends the technical weaknesses.
Adam — he met my expectations. And that’s not a good thing. I absolutely HATED this — it was over-the-top, massively indulgent, and creepy... and that was BEFORE I started watching him which made it all so much worse. Mrs. kevkrom said she couldn’t get Tim Curry from Rocky Horror Picture Show out of her mind the whole time, and I agree with her assessment. This is over-theatrical 70’s throwback garbage, not anything fresh or original.
Bottom 2: likely Allison (again!) and Matt
Going home: Matt
