They pretty quickly found their voice again after The Pickle left the stage. Actually their favorite "song" is the theme music from House. I have a chorus of those little buggers garbling along to it and they keep doing parts of it through the whole show.
Okay, some observations from last night - like 'em or leave 'em.
Katharine - loved her hair, very CZJ! I read the dress was vintage however it was way too small on her (not that she's big, she definitely has a smokin' body!) You could even see panty lines - Stacy and Clinton would fall over dead. Poor Kat, she's always been the one that is the most fashion challenged through this show. The singing - meh. I wish these girls would stop tackling Whitney, Mariah and Christina. Not that I am by far a fan of any of them, but they all have powerhouse voices and odds are, you will come out looking like a pale comparision. It happens everytime someone attempts one of their songs and nobody ever learns.
And Ryan.... COLD COLD dis on Katharine saying that "people that had their volume turned down tonight will vote for her" WTH was with that?
Elliott - my hometown boy pulled it out for me tonight! Anyone notice he looked like a little Ryan Seacrest Mini Me? They were wearing the same color suit and tie.
Only, why they heck was Elliott's tie so daggone wide? He wins for the most improved by far both looks and stage presense. While it still looks like he's nervous on stage, he seems to be getting more "personality" up there
Kellie - Damn woman, my birds are in love with you and your big lump of hair on the top of your head! Unchained Melody - oh no you didn't. And the night when everyone dresses up, what are you doing in skin tight jeans? Or were those your dress jeans. Okay, during the practice when David Foster criticized something she did, WTH was with her falling to her knees? Umm.. eww.. I'm just sayin'. Dissed by the blind man on the hair color! HEE!! Also, the high note that caused my birds to fall in love - anyone else think David Foster was laughing his butt off last night over that? Awhhuuuhhhhh NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUHHHHUUDDDDDDDD yooooowwwwwuuuuuurrrreeeeee luuuuuuwwwwwvvvvvvv!
And anytime you get dissed by all three judges.. ALL THREE - INCLUDING PAULA - and you can hear crickets chirp in the audience because nobody boo's them? Pack your bag pickle and take one last dip in the cement pond.
Paris - Okay, normally Paris looks like a female Gary Coleman to me but last night with those clothes and that do, she looked like Oprah. The kid is 17, not 71, right? Why the heck doesn't she ever sing something that was at least released during her lifetime? I know that they call some young people "old souls" but omg, you don't have to ACT like you are 17 going on 50! Is it just me or does she sound like she sings with her nose stuffed up all the time? Any why dis Kat for taking on Whitney and not say anything to Paris about taking on Barbra?
Taylor - my man
Okay, the suit jacket would have worked if they did not put that downlight right over top of you highlighting the satin piping and causing it to appear as a different color on the jacket. Dude, it made you look like Captain Kangaroo. But still loved him. You know, Taylor just does better when he can show his charisma <tm David Foster> and that's hard to do in a love song/ballad. It's the opposite for Elliott - he shines in ballads and bores in faster songs. Hmm.. Elliott and Taylor could join forces and be the next Simon and Garfunkle. Anyway, I know that TPTB have royally ticked Taylor off over the past couple of weeks and I wonder if that is what is showing in his performance (for those that haven't read the stories - Taylor was really offended by the "are you drunk" comment Simon gave him Queen night and he was also very ticked last wednesday about how Nigel put him on the spot and made him do what he did about chosing sides with no warning - just told him over the commercial break, and the contestants have no choice but to follow stage direction)
Chris - Welcome to your diaphram buddy! That helped the "goat" sound we were getting when he was singing from his throat - big improvement! Loved the part where they made him lay down to sing. HEE! Also wondered what David Foster was saying in his little clip about Chris that got cut off. He said that Chris was a good singer <cut> and you can read his lips saying "BUT"..lol Could Chris have been pimped ANY MORE last night? Talk about damage control from last weeks' bottom 3 episode!
2 guitarist? Check! Creative editing? Check! Pimp slot for performing? Check! Screams of praises from judges? Check! I'm not dissing Chris - he's in my top favorites after Taylor, it was just so blatant that it was borderline hilarious! One gripe about the performance, dude, you need some emotion in your eyes when you sing. You sing about loving a woman with a death stare. Huge disconnection! Plus your head is still tilted over to the left when you sing. I'm just sayin'.
While she was singing she reminded me of Baby's sister singing in Dirty Dancing. 
That and the split second wardrobe malfunction!
