My rundown of last night (rank out of 12):
Ace...Not bad, but not terribly good, either. At least he didn't sing this week like his jockey shorts were a bit too tight.
10
Kellie...Love the personality, but if the performances don't improve, she really needs to go. 9
Elliott...The opposite of Kelly. Decent performances, but I just can't seem to like him. Has a pretty good voice, but only "pretty good", not "great". 8
Mandisa...Best of the night so far. She seems to be growing on me a bit. I still wouldn't buy any CD she put out, but I might listen to it if it came on the radio. 5
Bucky...I was worried for the Buckster knowing this was "Lame 70's Song" night, but he came through with flying colors. Probably shouldn't win the competition, but he definitely belongs in it. 4
Melissa....
Sorry, but there is NO excuse for forgetting the words at this stage of the game. May have been forgiven if the singing wasn't so bad, but she was off key through most of the song. One of two who don't deserve to be in the finals. 12
Lisa....Glad to see her have a little fun with an upbeat song. I'm a big broadway fan, so I love her voice, but I can understand why some people may say she's been boring. I don't think it was her best performance, but that's mostly because I do love her voice so much when she's singing those ballads. 6
Kevin....Sorry, but "cute as a bug" - and I'm one of those people that hates bugs - will only get you so far. I've heard better singers at virtually every karaoke night at the local bar, and in most high school talent competitions. If it weren't for Melissa, this should have been his last night. 11
Katherine...What did the "stylists" do to my girl ?!? She went from adorable to Shania Twain in a mumu. Just leave her alone and let her talent carry her. The girl has an incredible voice, but the look last night was just distracting. She got most of my votes. 3
Taylor....What more can you say about Taylor? This performance was so far above everyone that came before him, it wasn't even fair to compare them. Would have gotten my votes, but I couldn't get through even a single time. Oh, and Simon's "drunk dad" comment had me
because it fits so well !!! 1
Paris...She's turning more and more into a Fantasia clone every week...and that is not a compliment. Not a bad performance, but it had the misfortune of following Taylor's, so it looked so much the worse in comparison. 7
Chris...Yeah, that wasn't Stevie that was the Chili Peppers. I hate the Chili Peppers. Still, I would rate his as the second best performance of the night. 2
All in all, a pretty boring night, save for Taylor and Chris. Here's hoping that Melissa is the one to go tonight, as she certainly deserves to get the boot after forgetting her lyrics in the process of butchering that song. So long as it is her, Kevin, Ace, Paris, Elliott, or (sigh) Kellie, I won't mind too much, but it should be Melissa that goes tonight.
