And it's....
VON SMITH: Bores me to tears. Simon seems to want to slam him even though he praises him somewhat by saying he's like Clay. I don't see it - i'm not sure Von can move on...
TAYLOR VAIFANU - Singing Alecia Keys. Nothing spectacular so far but I like it. Kara says its obvious has a voice. Very paula comment. Taylor is really upset. She says she is crying tears of joy...uh, no. She makes Ryan look like a midget which i always enjoy.
ALEX - He is going to sing Elton John for his long distance love. (She better get closer if he wins!) I'm not sure about this. Its a bit stylized which i think should get kudos, but its not being sang that well so I'm not sure what to think. I think judges will skewer. Simon says we had fun watching but not listening.
Who is the ringer tonight? Danny first week and Adam second....
Lil Rounds is a given tonight maybe?
Sorry i'm only posting approved comments. Someone decided to post stupid comments. Irritating. Hopefully after a week or two i can shut that off - clearly anyone who posts normally ill put everything up.
Now we have....Arianna doing Abba. WHOA. This will work or fail...bold choice. I like her, she's cute and she insulted Paula as old when i first saw her. I like it, i think she's singing it ok. Outside of a few cracks in her voice here and there. (And since this season we seem to be grading on a curve i thought it's ok.) Simon hates it. Jeez...although he says something true about everyone being in a time machine - i agree with that. THe only thing that bothers me about the criticism is when everyone is so-so, how are some people awful and some so-so. She appreciates they didn't mention her looks during hollywood, what an obnoxious comment. She is cute, not gorgeous, please...
Next, when we come back it's Ju'Not. His son is cute so i like him! Song choice is nice but he needs to turn it up soon, it's really sleepy and not that impressive, just pleasant. He should have done more with it at the end but I'd say best so far. Paula has heavy meds today, can't speak. Simon is irritated with her to a high level. Simon says its a little safe but he liked it. Ju'Not apparently needs to pee. MOVING ON!
Kristen and Nathaniel!
Kristen goes, she's actually very good BUT the song is so bland and boring that it doesn't get that much praise. I actually had trouble remembering who she was until Kara mentioned her purple hair color.
Nathaniel goes. I hate this. He sings Meatloaf but with no vocal range and kind of stylized. His grandma can't even give him praise without reserve. Ryan makes lots of gay innuendo's. So bizarre. Nathaniel might get some votes just from the sheer amount of time he got, do we have too much time to kill?
More to Come, maybe tommorrow as i need to read Kate some books...
Ok, i saw the rest of the show. I REALLY liked Jorge and Lil Rounds. I think both of them deserve to get through, which is weird as they were the last two. Because they were both good and that they were the last two, i think they both have a really good shot. I thought Felicia was good too. Turned out to be a solid show because the second half was that much better than the first half. I predict Jorge, Lil Rounds, and either Scott or Felicia, probably Scott. I didn't like him that much but people like him.

Really? I thought he improved hugely over Hollywood week.
ReplyDeleteI really like taylor but not sure this is her song...
I really liked Von Smith initially but since then i like him a lot less. This wasn't bad but i don't see him moving on. Maybe Thursday?
ReplyDeleteis it me or is the accompaniment completely off for Arianna?
ReplyDeleteI think it might have been her fault.
ReplyDeleteI don't recall how Von sang pre-36, but he was better than most guys this season. You know, I too thought something about him was Clay Aiken-ish so it's funny Simon said that. Something in his style of singing. He's got like a Robin Thicke kind of style about him too.
ReplyDeleteI really liked Taylor from the beginning and thought she was good tonight, and yes, she CAN sing. Why were the judges so harsh? Felicia was really good so I'm a bit torn. Lil Rounds stood out for me from the beginning like Taylor so I was looking forward to hearing her. She was good, but I didn't know the song. Simon was really thrilled with her, but I wasn't thinking "brilliant." No crazy disasters among the girls, but poor Arianna...rough performance. Some moments where she was too high pitched and then awkwardly back down.
Simon said he didn't like the lyrics
of "Mandolin Rain" as if Scott wrote them or something. Simon...Dawg, Bruce Hornsby and the Range were big in the 80's and that was one of their big hits. It's a pretty song and suited Scott perfectly. I just love Scott and he better make it through. Well, I think it's a good sign when you call to vote and the line is busy :)
How are they going to do Thursday's wild card show in an hour???
