My thoughts on the lukewarm Stevie Wonder night...
Ace - Do I Do -
- Fortunately, Randy started the night off by saying Ace wasn't that good. He was right. This guy was good for one week and he's been AWFUL every week after that.
Kellie - Blame It on the Sun -
- And Simon thinks this girl could be the winner this year? Awful Stevie Wonder song, awful delivery. She looks kinda hot, though...does that mean I like Dolly Parton, though, Simon?
Elliot - Knocks Me Off My Feet -
- Just kinda boring. He sounds alright, but the song choice was just okay and Elliot seems uncomfortable onstage.
Mandisa - Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing -
- [Where are all the "just okay smilies?] Seriously, these are some poor Stevie Wonder songs. I don't know this song, but it seemed like sometimes she was hitting the wrong notes - Could be totally off on that, but that's the way it seemed to me. Still, she was the best so far...
Bucky - Superstitious -
- When I see Bucky, I see country karaoke bar and there's nothing he can do about that. One of my favorite songs ever was mangled by the Buckster.
Melissa - Lately -
- [I'm running out of bad smilies] Forgot the words, but was alright. She did hit some wrong notes, but I kind of liked the beginning, hated the middle, and was feeling a "so what" at the end. Stll, she wasn't anything to vote for.
Lisa - Signed, Sealed, Delivered -
- Is it just that Stevie's songs are too iconic? Do I know this song too well to be impressed? It seems like this Aaliyah look-a-like was singing the song too low or something. Just blah to me.
Kevin - Part-Time Lover -
(don't tell anyone, but I kinda liked it) - Now, I'm a little worried. I liked him singing this song and he did some runs that were interesting. I don't want this kid winning, but I liked it. Plus, "I wasn't expecting much from you anyway" was PRICELESS!! I almost feel like joining the Vote for the Worst brigade to keep this kid in here!
Katharine - Until You Come Back to Me -
- I have the McPheever and there's no denying it. Finally, someone belts one out! Her jazz-style voice is something I look forward to each week, and I guess I'm one of the few that thinks she hasn't really faltered yet.
Taylor - Living for the City -
- I find myself smiling the whole time he sings. Him and Katharine in the final two anyone?
Paris - All I Do -
- She was pretty good. Don't love the song, but she was alright. Towards the end, I think she hit an off note, but she did a decent job.
Chris - Higher Ground -
- Pretty good...no Taylor, though...Wish he had stepped out of his "comfort zone" a little, but he was definitely Top Three material tonight.
My Top Three Tonight
Taylor
Katharine

Kellie (the worst tonight)

Hmmm....out on a limb....Melissa (is the fanbase there yet?)...
Bawhahaha..he's singing about part-time lovers, I love it.
