More from another site. It confirms some stuff that was posted earlier. Next week should be a good week for Taylor, unless AI decides to change the year he was born at the last minute! /sarcasm
Chuck Ross of TV Week asked Nigel what he thought of Taylor's performance and said he surprised that Taylor seemed to be having an off night. (I'm paraphrasing, it was difficult hearing Chuck) Nigel thought he not at his best and that Taylor had a little trouble with one line in rehearsal. He thinks he was nervous about that line and it got to him.
Then he said, in Taylor's defense his song was changed twice and he just got that one the day before. He did great with it under those circumstances.
Chuck asked what the other song was. He said first 'When a Man Loves a Woman' and then said, 'No wait, the song he rehearsed was 'Try a Little Tenderness' Chuck said WOW (Chuck is a Taylor fan)
Simon continues, 'We decided that didn't suit the theme because it was Andrea Bocelli week not Blues Brothers week.' (Chuck still seems in shock)
Tonight he is going to split them into 3 groups: Top 2, Middle 2, and Bottom 2. He said 4 of the top 6 were superb this week. The person going home will be a bit of a shock because they have one of the largest fan bases.
They got the largest number of votes ever including finales at 47.6 million votes.
Next week they sing 2 songs. One from the year they were born and one from this weeks Billboard Charts.
This Week's Billboard Charts?
Ugh
Interesting posts. A handful of "former employee/insider" comments have surfaced, who knows if they are real or not. They whole Kat incident with the judges smells bad though, as does their recent handling of Taylor. God I cannot believe we have to hear a current song next week.
I agree! If it's not enough to make you change your song once, but twice! I can only say that Taylor demonstrated true professionalism by rolling with the punches and putting on a good performance in spite of the curve balls he was thrown. I'm sure this does happen in the real world.
