Safe choice from someone looking to cruise into the finals unscathed. Probably smart.
Taylor Hicks - "Taking It To the Streets" by Michael McDonald
Will it wow me? I doubt it.
Gedeon McKinney - "When a Man Loves a Woman" by Percy Sledge
Good choice - he may as well play up the old-school R&B thing as much as he can.
Kevin Covais - "Vincent" by Don McLean
Good for his voice, bad for his prospects. He needs something a lot more energetic... what am I saying, whether he stays or goes has nothing to do with his singing, but rather the puppy-dog factor.
Chris Daughtry - "Broken" by Seether
Never heard of it. Let me guess: more grunting and screaming into a microphone masquerading as singing? Yawn.
Ace Young - "Butterfly" by Michael Jackson
GIC.
Elliott Yamin - "Heaven" by Bryan Adams
Good choice. Likely to be the performance of the night.
Sorry, don't have Bucky Convington's song.
Does it matter? It'll be yet another off-key boring rockin' country song that you can't understand the words to.
Help me out here....what does this mean?
As for Chris and Broken, it is not "more grunting and screaming into a microphone masquerading as singing?" I take it you don't care for any alternative rock then. I do and am very happy for a reprive from the boring, syrupy, formulaic ballads eeked out every week on AI and top 40 radio. Chris is the unique one in this competition because he performs a genre that most of the audience is completely unfamiliar with. Which is, of course, why he won't win. But I also believe that will be good for him because 19 won't ruin him with crappy cookie cutter songs.
