Yeah, I think that will be time to take a look at ....really anything else in the entire universe.
He got quite a bit of help tonight, IMO. And for all the judges’ complaints about slow, boring songs, their pick for Casey was the epitome of slow and boring. Both guys have their strengths and weaknesses as singers, but it seems like the powers that be have thrown their support behind Lee/Crystal for the finals.
Attention to wardrobe/scenery never hurt anyone...can’t wait to see it! :)
Biting my tongue. LOLOLOLOL
I always think that same thing when I hear myself talk on a video or something. "How can anyone stand listening to me?!?"
So much goes on before they’re uploaded to youtube. My real player is broken. I haven’t seen them yet. I saw all the raw footage and the guy did a good job of editing. I could find other Floridians there too but I’d be here all night. Check out Donovan Peters on you tube. He’s a piano man-singer. Then there’s Jeff LaJess, Elvis expert. They’re my other peeps. Jeff LaJess does Poke Sally Annie on youtube. It’s nice.
In other news- Spector goes down!!!
And somewhere up above......I can see BahBah CHEERING! and raising a glass to celebrate this idiot being voted out! :-)
Amen to that! She’s high-fiving Tony Snow. :-)
I’m redoing the java script cuz that seems to be related to why I can’t download with real player from youtube. I hope that’s it. Anyway, the update is through. If nothing still happens, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!
Yes, I watched it. I’ve just been on Hulu watching some episodes. I’m definitely now a Gleek.
I got Route 66 to download had not seen it. Not as seamlesss as Straighten UP and Fly Right or Little Boat but editing a job this American didnt do. I’m gonna make mine with few slices as possible.
I am very very sad to hear one of the lovely voices on our great AI thread has passed. Please RIP, Bahbah.
1. Lee. His first song was pretty good because he was putitng everything he’s got into it. Yes, he hits a wrong note every once in a while. But he sings from his heart. I was preparing to hate his “Hallelujah” because Jason Castro’s simple, quiet version gave me goosebumps. But I liked it very much. He put even more of his heart and soul into the second song than the first, and he power sung it rather than the poignant Castro version. HATED the choir. He didn’t need it.
2. Bowersox. Didn’t like her first song. Closed my eyes and heard it that way, and it was a girl yelling, with no interesting tone to her voice. Maybe all her notes are perfect but there is NOTHING there, no emotion, nothing that moves you. Just her, kinda shouty. Her Paul McCartney song was huge for her because it’s a song that everyone knows, and she sang it well, changed it very little, and put some heart into it. Not much.
She is a very closed off young woman. She has some antipathy toward the audience, as if she thinks she is too good for Idol. This shows. She also is EXACTLY the same as when she was picked from the show. She has not grown. Contrast that with Lee DeWyze, who has changed for the better immeasurably since his early shy insecure days. because of that, Crystal has impressed me a little less every week.
3. That adorable Casey. I had high hopes for him to have even a little moment tonight, but that was not to be. I think he put what he could into his two songs, the second more than the first, but he is not perfectly made for Idol: his limitations are in cleverness for picking songs and deliveries and arrangements, and he also doesn’t quite “get” that you need to “leave it on that stage.” I hope Idol allows him to get a recording contract and go out there and be himself and have fun. He is very likeable, but without the little spark that an Idol winner must have. The John Mayer song sounded very much like John Mayer. Ugh.
I believe Casey will go home, but I really like him for who he is. He got as far as he did with his wholesome charm and simple style, and of course that fluffy hair. I am picking Lee to win it because he impresses me MORE each week with his growing confidence onstage and his self-effacing charisma. You kind of fall in love with him as he grows into a star. Crystal is nearly charmless, and I cringe when she does her self-defense talk to the judges. I just don’t know her as a person, and what she lets us know, I don’t like.
Oh No....yes, that is very bad news.....May she rest in Peace....
I was thinking Ellen has that look, like she's thinking "this seemed like such a great idea last year".
But yeah, I bet Simon can't wait to be rid of all of them too and get on to (hopefully) better things.
LOL!
Yes.
Despite Paula's goofy behavior, there was a genuine sweetness about her. She never thought she was more important than anyone else on the show. The opposite of Kara.
I really liked that too. And there was no pimping choir in the background either.
