Glad your little one got some sleep finally! I am not ready for that horrible teething again...
Here is my review:
Lusky stank- whoa, he condemned us before he sang. This will hurt him. However, I loved his rendition; I hate that song but he sang it better than anyone else on AI ever. He has an amazing voice. Lusky, do. Not. Dance. That swishy hip move he has is so so so wrong.
Haley - can we just call her growly? She needed to lose the growl from weeks past, not do an entire song in growl! I agree that joplin was rolling in her grave. She had no belief in that song. When Janis sang it (and when I sing it in the shower), she felt it. And everyone listening felt that broken heart.
Lauren was ok. Didn’t like the hair, don’t like that song, but she was ok.
James - he moved me. My oldest has aspergers and I know life can be very hard for these guys. It got to me. My son is not yet mAture enough for such a moving tribute to all we’ve done for him over the years, but I can imagine it one day and it makes me cry. He sounded good too. Didn’t need that last lambertian note, I thought.
Scotty “W.” neuman - he was perfect. With eyes closed he was absolutely amazing. He was funny and sweet even with my eyes open. He is sweet and talented. He will be very successful. I cannot believe he is 17.
Pia - she is becoming terribly annoying. And she will never go home because she has a good voice. Ugh. First of all, she is sounding very full of herself in the practicing clips. Second, she was dressed in wrapped sheets. Children’s sheets. She did walk around, yes... She did do an uptempo song, yes... But it was as if she was standing in one place ballading again. It was boring as heck, and all she does is yell. Too much intensity and she does not believe her songs.
Stefano - little Ricky, I was such a fan! But you are not able to understand the advice you are given. You were told to own the song, to make the song work for you, but all you did was to copy the original and let it run away with you. You have so much promise. Now you will be packing your bags tomorrow.
Paul - he was really fun, but the smiling was ridiculous. I enjoyed the performance though. He is what he is. He can be fun! It’s too bad he can’t really believe his songs either, but he was just fun enough to bump himself up from the bottom and send little Ricky back to the Tropicana as someone said. :)
Omg, I forgot to review Casey.
I guess that IS the review, then.... What would Simon say. Ut. Ter. Ly. For.get.able.
Actually, I love the bass. And I feel really bad for him. He said he is only at 80%. He must be quite ill and I do feel for him.
Week after week we read the same projection.
(Janis Joplin was a drunken, drug-addled skank who lived in the gutter. Every emotion she felt was a result of her substance abuse. She was one of the worst singers in the history of American music. Thank God Haley hasn't sunken to those depths.)
