Goodnight:)
After having some time for reflections, here’s my take on last night. It was the BEST show so far in the entire competition. Most of the tunes were songs I enjoy and the performances were all above average. That said, here’s the ranks:
1. Allison Clarkson - Someone To Watch Over Me – GREAT!! Vocals were spot on and she even looked good. I think it will help her to get some “likability” which she was having problems with in the past. Bravo!!
2. Danny Downey Jr. - Come Rain or Come Shine – Started a bit shaky but he brought it home. He showed that he can come through in the pinch! He may have just sung himself into the finals!
3. Kris Seacrest - The Way You Look Tonight – Not bad. He’s got the “looks” to keep the tiny boppers voting for him and he’s got a pleasant voice. Going first could hurt him but I think he’ll be OK
4. Adam Flame-Butt - Feeling Good – It was like “Sweet Transvestite” from Rocky Horror Picture Show. Way over the top and he had the vice grips tightened again. But I do give him props for that long note. The guy can sing but I just don’t care for him.
5. Matt DaMole - My Funny Valentine – You can’t do that song after Melinda Dolittle made it “hers.” He sang OK and it was pleasant, but you have to do better if you want to beat Kris into the final 4.
Bottom 2: Matt and Kris. Matt most likely to go home in spite of Simon’s pimping. (I think Simon gave him good marks so people would vote for Kris or Allison thinking he would be “safe.”)
