Holy crap, that was great!
I liked it too - and I like the outfit oddly enough
I didn’t like the big note, but I liked every thing else.
a little unfair that she got the dramatic staging...
but the best of the night...
>>Mandisa. And she was very, very overrated.<<
She was better than most and went out way too early IMHO. That was the Fantasia year wasn’t it?
It fits her personality. It's one of those "It's cute on you, would look ridiculous on me" kind of outfits.
She looks really cute tonight, like a young Sandra Bullock.
She tackles "Paint It Black". Starts slow, but she makes it sound like an Evanescence song. Wow! Best I've heard so far tonight. And she finishes with an Adam Lambert-like scream.
Randy: Bringing the drama to American Idol season 9! That was HOT!
Ellen: I love the way you look tonight, the way you sound. You stand out and I like it!
Kara: I'm having flashbacks of Adam Lambert. Best interpretation tonight.
Simon: Stand-out performance of the night. Now we see the development. A lot of people are going to love it, but a lot of people are going to hate it. But that's the place to be. At least it wasn't boring.
Agreed best of the night.
No, Mandisa was just a couple of season ago (either Jordin Sparks or Taylor Hicks season I think). Fantasia was season 3.
As someone who’s rocked the prom dress and combat boots look once upon a time, I definitely like it. :)
Yeah, it reminded me of Evanescence too.
Out loud.
Ok I had to pause the DVR before Siobhan sang because my daughter called, but I guaranteed my wife that she would nail whatever she did in the Stones songbook. No surprise that she did well. Can’t wait to see her performance.
I hated the big end note...thought it was very indulgent, to quote Simon. Happy St. Patty’s Day Eve, All!
LMAO!
Hey, if a 16 year old kid can sing about going home to his kids, he can sing anything :)
>>Agreed best of the night.<<
I guess I was hoping for a more high-energy version since it is such a high-energy song. But for the night, no question the best.
Yeah...'Strange Kind of Woman' off 'Made in Japan'...serious pipes from Ian on that one...
>>No, Mandisa was just a couple of season ago (either Jordin Sparks or Taylor Hicks season I think). Fantasia was season 3.<<
Where do the years go? My God...
Seacrest and Lee discussing paint colors. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
