Movie Night!

It's Movie Songs night with Quentin Tarantino as mentor. Plenty of opportunities for people to shine if they choose correctly. Let's see who takes advantage. You have to think Adam will be ok because his show tune / broadway background can be taken advantage of here. Danny has to shine and bring himself back to the forefront and Kris and Allison have a chance to climb out of the shadows and into the forefront. As for Lil, she is hanging by a thread and needs to show she is the artist they thought she was. At this point, I think Anoop is still good but clearly not a favorite, and Matt is just on the outside waiting to be eliminated.

Let's begin!

Each person only gets two judges since last week ran late. Which is stupid. Because good or bad, if Simon doesn't judge you, you didn't sing. Apathy will be high for those people. I'd be upset if i only got the Paula gush, I'd rather get slammed by Simon at least my fans would be worried.

BTW, the introduction for Tarantino justifies him being on the show even if he says nothing of interest, i enjoyed it that much.

BTW, i am watching here.

Not on the TV.

Alison is first with I DON'T WANT TO MISS A THING. People who sing this on idol have won twice i think. I thought that was pretty good. Crowd had a total fit, they loved it. Paula says about nothing. Simon says she is the only good girl left in the show. Simon says she could possibly go to the end. Allison makes her stupid face she always does. This girl must have no coaching at all as none of her personality issues have been addressed at all.

Next is music from Robin Hood and Easy Rider from Anoop and Adam. (Gee, who picked the obvious song?)

Anoop with EVERYTHING I DO. If there was a list i could make of songs i DON'T want to hear tonight it would include this, the Titanic song, the song from the Bodyguard, the song from Dreamgirls, and a few others which escape me but will pop up as soon as someone chooses them and I am annoyed.

Eh. I thought it was ok. Not bad but at this point, whatever. Randy likes it a lot. Kara will no doubt gush because she is about 75% Paula. She does. Let's move on.

Adam with Born to be Wild. I don't like him as much doing fast songs like this cause his falsetto voice sounds like he is doing Broadway show tunes rather than a person performing a rock concert. It's by NO means bad and he just through threw some of the song. Seeing him after Anoop dooms Anoop because it's just minor league vs. major league. Crowd explodes. Paula is gushing. Simon says about the same thing i did, that it came across at times as broadway. Still Adam is in the frontrunner zone, where he seems an almost lock for Top 2.

Matt next. If i don't concentrate on coming back to watch him i will forget and miss him. I'm 100% sure. More Bryan Adams. Who would have thought we'd ever have two Bryan Adams songs on one show. OH, this song. I forgot about this, this is a nice song. But to be honest, Matt doesn't move me at all. Maybe i'm just a grouch here but this is good but forgettable. Better than Anoop though. It's the B team with commentary. They don't like it too much.

AND I LOSE MY STREAM. OH SHOOT...hopefully it comes back.

It does. Someone is next I'm sure but no clue who...

DANNY. Cool.. He is learning to play guitar because he is bored and for the tour. Ryan asks him why he is bored. Idiot, i'm relatively sure if my wife was no longer around i'd be bored too. He is singing Endless Love. Quentin wants him to not use his hands so much. This is not bad at all. We have Danny back! I thought that was good. A little strange sounding because his voice is too raspy for the song but not bad at all. A Team on commentary. Simon dissapointed he didn't do a more original arrangement but praises him nonetheless.

Kris and Lil to come.

It's funny, i'm not in love with anyone but I really want to hear all the ITunes downloads so maybe I like it more than I think.

Kris up with something which i missed totally. B Team on commentary. Those others watching, can you tell me what you think? Crowd loved "whatever he sang" but Randy did not but Kara did, which tells me nothing.

Lil up next.

Haha, they are going to go over anyway.

It's THE ROSE from Bette Midler. She should be safe cause she's last and last is almost always safe. I don't love it. I don't like how she looks, I don't like how she arranged the song, and i think she is shouting. Started nice, got worse as it went. A Team on Commentary. Lil argues. Send her home please.

I think bottom 3 is Anoop, Matt and Lil and i worry for Anoop Dogg. Hopefully we lose Matt. Alison could be in trouble from being first.

  1. What do you want to bet Lil will sing Whitney Houston from "The Bodyguard" or Jennifer Hudson from "Dreamgirls"?

  2. NO NO NO NO NO.

    That said i wouldn't bet against that or some other obvious song we are missing. WOnder if anyone does the Titanic song. Tarantino didn't like that last time.

  3. MRC, I was thinking The Bodyguard too...lol! So far, everyone has been great, except Matt so unless Kris and Danny really flop, Lil and Matt are easily in the bottom.

    Glambert is up early tonight. This is right up his alley in shrieeeek ci-tay!

    This tag team judging is nonsense. I think Paula takes up the most time trying to come up with a long-winded comment that sometimes doesn't say much.

    Oooh, a Lionel Richie classic from Danny...eh, he's a little rough. I can hear Anoop singing this, who by the way, was awesome.

  5. SN - I agree on Anoop. I've never been sold on him but this was the best he's ever been.

    Glambert makes me laugh. I like him a lot but that WAS kinda Broadway-ish.

    Love Kris. LOVE LOVE LOVE him.

  6. i don't know, maybe i have expectations for Anoop and not for Matt? Or the song choice irked me?

    Tell me what Kris did! I missed it...

  7. Kris sang "Falling Slowly" from a movie called "Once" which I have not seen but everyone I know who has loved it.

    Lil is fighting back! Wow! Kiss of death.

  8. Kris sang "Once" - I think it's from that Indie movie that did really well and the main song from an unknown girl and guy? Pretty song. A little pitchy in the beginning and when he got to the end of first line, he got soft and I thought he forgot the lyrics! It's a downloader!

    Ohhh, Lil goes home. She was off-key, no energy. It was just OK. She said she put her own gospel/R&B twist, but it was pretty flat, I thought. Ohhh, she's talking back to Simon. But girl, you didn't deliver!

  9. I do agree with you there Juan, Anoop's song choice was just ok (the song is so over-sung), but he sang it so well. It had the same sweetness and control as when he sang "Always on my mind." And Paula would chime in...it showed your vulnerability and tenderness in your vocal range which makes everyone connect to your artistry...LMAO!

    Just based on performance, I'm afraid Danny may be in bottom 3 this week.
