Does the picture look weird for anyone else? It looks like film instead of live, if that makes sense.
It could be the lighting. It is very orange tonight. It's like pumpkin night or something.
I wasn't sure if it was live or taped earlier in the day. Usually when it's live the scream live! LIVE! like every two minutes or so.
I’m suspicious of the “I’ve hurt my vocal chords” excuse, which is always conveniently mentioned before that person sings the song perfectly.
2 singers left and 25 minutes left in the show. A lot of time for Seacrest to kill.
Jessica is up next. She confides, softly, to Seacrest that she hurt her vocal chords in rehearsals and "my throat is a little swollen". While she says this we see footage of her looking pitiful on the bigscreen.
(Audience awwwws)
I call BS on all of this.
And of course, now she sings without any hint of being sick. Big loud long notes. LOL! Shameless voter manipulation!
Randy: YO! YO! YO! I don't know about no doctor, but what is really happening--that girl can really sing. That voice is a voice to be reckoned. So unbelievably talented.
J-Lo: (gushes) So beyond your years.
Steven: You have exceptional timing. Voice is perfect.
And I thought X Factor was scripted.
Joe Wilson: "YOU LIE!"
Does Idol owe Adele money or something?
Yet another Adele song.
She's the only singer to play an instrument tonight--piano. They saved Elise for last for a reason. She hasn't had much camera time so far and she can really sing.
Steven: Elise, I'm proud of you girl! Bluesy. That's why Adele's album has been so big this year.
J-Lo: You're maybe the best singer here. I hope America got it because you are one to watch.
Randy: You are definitely a force to be reckoned with. A blusey smokey flavor. Wasn't the best peformance we've seen but I hope we see a lot more.
Hard to pick six.
Haley, Baley and Edie Falco Jr. were the weakest.
I think Shameless Sanchez will force a better singer out :-|
None of the judges mentioned Erika as a standout—she noticed.
