1)Taylor – Classic talent. Total confidence. Amazing performer. He sent me. (ha.)
2) Elliott – Phenomenal voice. Stylists helping him tremendously. Good song choice.
3) Katherine – Very good, but Simon overdid it on the praise.
4) Chris - He was great. Nice to see his other side.
5) Paris – This was her best week. She is talented… BUT I still don’t like her.
6) Ace – Poor guy can’t catch a break. If it’s not the song it’s the suit. I thought he did well, but the greased hair was a bit much. He looked sharp, though – minus the grease.
7) Pickler – Wow that was bad. She’s safe, though. Simon sees her as marketable, and the teenie bopper girls and hormonal guys vote for her.
Good review, and fair.
Chris was fantastic tonight. He struck just the right tone for that song, and his heart was really in it. So nice to see his vulnerable side.
Paris was off-the-charts fabulous. The look, the voice, the delivery...man, she out-Ellaed Ella!
Taylor was extremely disappointing. He swallowed the lyrics; his voice ain't all that; he bored me tonight.
Ace did a wonderful rendition of "That's All", and he modernized it, but not too much. He was drop-dead gorgeous in that suit (said my wife), and he looked as if he had stepped right off the cover of GQ. Paula was gazing at him with lust in her heart!
Elliott chose a great song. He was reminiscent of all the "blue-eyed song" vocalists. (What DID Rod mean by that--Frank Sinatra and Harry Connick Jr.?) I like Elliott's Erroll Flynn mustache and goatee--quite rakish!
Katherine was good, but mechanical. It just wasn't natural enough, for such a lovely song. It was more like: "Look, Ma, no hands!" Turning each phrase over prettily without ever feeling a single word. She out-Constantined Constantine with her orders to the camera: "Worship me! I am Katherine the Great."
Poor Kellie--she was a disaster tonight. Overdressed, over-rehearsed, over her head. Bewildered, indeed!
My bottom three: Taylor, The Pickle, and The Diva K.
