Katherine M. - "I Will Always Love You" Dolly Parton/Whitney Houston
I hope she doesn't sing that. Could be painful unless Katharine gives us a laidback lounge performance of it. Could be deadly dull if she does give us a lounge performance of it. If she sings it the way I expect her to sing it, she'd better be in fine voice.
"At Last" seems pretty decent for Paris. I'm impressed with that kid and don't think she has turned in a weak performance, yet. Went back and listened to Billie Holiday's, Sarah Vaughn's, Dinah Washington's, and Ella Fitzgerald's versions of "These Foolish Things"; hard to believe, but Paris's version stacks up pretty well.
"A Song for You" seems perfect for Elliott's voice. I'm not familiar with the song and have only heard a brief audio clip. Is it a good enough song to help Elliott in the voting, is what I'm wondering. It'd be cool to hear him sing "Unchained Melody" though.
Hmmm...so Taylor may be dropping the G-bomb this week. Hope so.
Chris has a good voice for doing Aerosmith songs. Should work.
Kellie P. - "Because You Loved Me"
I think she might do well with that. Seems like it would be within her ability, anyways.
I wouldn't put mich stock in the list, it was rumored on another thread.
Katherine doing Whitney, and Taylor doing Cocker or Ray Charles means everyone is going in for the kill.
Hopefully Elliot does the Righteous Bros. instead of the Hathaway number. It would be a memorable version, and now is not the time to be somewhat obscure in terms of song selection.
