Rat Pack Night!

It's songs inspired by the Rat Pack. I am setting up the thread early so i can just jump in later. See you then.

I'm watching in a tiny box today because rickey of rickey.org is in the corner singing and dancing and being annoying. Why the live feed chose his feed is beyond me but I'm shrinking the box to avoid him. (If you could see what i see you'd know why i'm annoyed.)

Jamie Foxx is our mentor.

Kris Allen with "The Way You Look Tonight". He's won me over just dumping the guitar. Very nice and slow rendition. Probably the most he's "sung" in weeks, not just strummed and crooned. It speeds up a bit mid-way. I thought it was pretty good. Randy says it's his best yet. Kara says BLAH BLAH BLAH. (Not really but that's all i hear from her now). Simon liked it but didn't think it was as great as the other did. (They did overkill it.) Simon doesn't think he can win. (Really? SHOCKING!)

Alison next. I am not sure what she is singing (i missed the song name). It's really well sung. That was really good. She has a wonderful voice. (this is why Kara, Paula are worthless, because Allison sang better than Kris, but if Kris is super good, what is Allison? Super Duper Good? And then Adam later super duper duper good?) Randy about to pass out as he begins his comments. Simon says she might be in trouble because she doesn't really believe in herself (which is true). The other judges neuter his attempt at reverse psychology because they don't understand.

Next is My Funny Valentine by Matt Giraud. I'lll have to post the rest later, Kate is sleepy. Be back later...

Going to have to watch on youtube.

Ok, Matt. Eh, not bad. For some reason the singing grated on me at times, his voice. Not much to say, not bad at all but not great. Simon for some reason really likes it. Is he just trying to be contrary? (Didn't Constantine vamp his way through this song? I need to find that...)

YEP.

Danny with Come Rain or Come Shine. Jamie Foxx's help is bizarre. I don't get it. This is really good. He really built it up well and he's KILLING it by the end. Danny is back! It's about time! I only get Randy's comments but it's glowing. I can't imagine it wasn't like that across the board. WOW.

Adam with Feeling Good. I like the lights on the stage and the entrance with the staircase. Not the best Adam performance but still very good and still better than everyone probably except Danny. Simon points out that every week adam is trying something big with the intention of wowing them and trying to win, which i agree with.

Best Danny, with Adam and Allison right behind. Kris was also good and Matt was by far the weakest.

  2. Loved Allison. She sang "Someone to Watch Over Me." These are some of my favorite songs EVER.

    Not enjoying Matt. He was really off-key at the beginning.

  3. I am NOT impressed with Matt. His voice seems hoarse and off-key. OK, he was NOT "absolutely brilliant" per Simon.

    All the boys look very handsome though. Can't wait to see how Danny looks. Ricardo Montalban, I mean, Adam Glambert...lol.

  4. WHAT was Simon smoking while he was listening to Matt? I don't get it. Brilliant????

    They're giving Adam the pimp spot. Again.

  5. Awww yeeeeah! Danny had his best performance so far. Ending was fabulous!

    Not surprised Glambert sang that. Eh, something in the middle bored me.

    Matt, go home!
