JAMES: (Closer to The Edge) I don't think i am familiar with this song. I don't really love it to be honest. there's a whole lot of atonal-messiness here.
JACOB: (No Air) So not surprised he's chosen a chick song...I HATE this song...and I hate Jacob singing it. He's off the timing too. This is not good. Wow...ouch.
LAUREN: (Flat on the Floor) Will she come out of her shell tonight? This is energetic sure, but she still looks like a deer in the headlights.
SCOTTY: (Gone) Wow...everybody is sucking wind tonight. This is not Scotty's best effort. And he's still playing the flute.
HALEY: (You and I) I honestly don't know this song, but Haley is sadly the strongest performance thusfar.
JAMES: (Without You) I do love this song...And it's clear that James has a connection to it and his family. So far i really like this softer side of him. Not his best effort ever, but so sweet.
JACOB: (Love Hurts) Once again he is ahead of the tempo (or behind it). he just can't seem to find the rhythm. But vocally it's way better than his first song. However I would've have preferred him to keep the whole song soft instead of shouting it.
LAUREN: (Unchained Melody) An overdone song for sure, but maybe she can spice it up? Why is she dressed like Farrah Fawcett? Her problem is all in her eyes...so unexpressive. They always look the same...frozen...lifeless. But she CAN sing. I dunno. It just left me cold.
SCOTTY: (Always on My Mind) He sounds like kenny Rogers...he did a cover of this song too didn't he? This is another not-my-greatest-moment for Scotty. It's safe and boring.
HALEY: (House of the Rising Sun) Now I LOVES me this song...but can Haley do it without butchering it? Also, does she know this song is sung by a man about a BROTHEL?? I don't think she has any clue what this song is about. however, it sounds really good, so kudos to her.
So, an evening of overall disappointments. here's my take...don't hit me:
TOPS
Haley...and only Haley, ay carumba.
MIDDLE
Scotty
Lauren
BOTTOM
James
Jacob
If I had to send someone home, it would be Jacob.
