Not even close. Didn't like this version at all.
Haha! I’m the opposite. When it’s a good version that makes me want to hear the original. When it’s a bad version I want to completely erase the song from my memory.
Im guessing Joshua (in his infinite wisdome) Figured since Josh Groban is from California...this is a California song...as opposed to an old English hymn SHEESH!
His pick is Josh Groban's "You Raise Me Up". Zzzzzzz. Predictably, a choir materializes for the big finish. And a raising platform--"you raise me up". Subtle. I'm not a Groban fan, but this doesn't compare to the original.
J-Lo: I think the whole world knows what I think of Joshua already. Such amazing singers. You last four, I kinda thought that's who would be here. I liked the "dramma". Keep it consistent to the end. You could end up right there.
Steven: You sang you're little tush off. The world is accepting you like .... uh ... nobodies business.
Randy: Brought it to "chuch". I'm so excited to see what you do. Giant career ahead of you.
I listen to “meh” performances, and the judges act like three cheerleaders. What they have to say is boring. How many synonyms of “Wow!” can they lather over a contestant?
It cracks me up, but does not surprise me, that J-LO can not complete a single sentence without refering to her note cards a minimum of 3 times.
Hi, Mark!
“The Choice”?
Someone should have kept track this season, because I’m sure it’s into the thousands by now. They hardly criticize anyone.
I see that this week Jessica is wearing pants, rather than a hooker skirt....then again, this is just her first number...
Note to Jessica....Etta James was a SINGER with SOUL, not a screamer.........TAKE A NOTE!!!!!!!!
Evening SJ, All.
As always, thank you SJ for doing this thread.

I suppose this was age appropriate.
It was a sleeper for me... I dunno
Yes.
If she were 30.
Jess was screaming, Jennifer!
WTH?!
I have a growl for you, bebechez.
Grrrrrr, get off the stage.
That’s probably why I never remember the early part of the season.
