Not a great song choice for Nadia IMO

Here we go!

Nadia - what is it with her lips/facial expression? That seemed to get on my nerves tonite... singing ho hum... what was that song choice about... Mac Davis?! Even in 1977 who listened to that song! I was there & I didn't!

Hi, everybody! Time for AI (sounds like an interesting theme this week)!

1. Nadia-- "When I Dream, I Dream of You"-- Very good vocally to start, but not very energetic. I didn't care much for the high note, but still pretty good. Not her best, though-- a bit bland.

 

[rubyslipperlover]

what the ...heck...was Nadia singing? Crystal Gayle?

I agree with Simon.

 

[RyMickey]

We haven't even seen anybody but Nadia yet, but I think my girl's going home this week - and to be completely honest, I wouldn't even care anymore. She was great in the preliminary stuff, but once the actual competition started, she's kinda slipped. Oh, well.

go Bo! Freebird never sounded so good!

 

[orangeblossom]

I thought Bo was good, too.

 

[MeanLaureen]

Go Bo!

 

[rubyslipperlover]

and I think the audience is going to crucify Simon...

 

[StaceyA]

I think something was wrong with my sound on my TV cause I didn't like that song from Bo, it just sounded weird to me....so far not so good in my opinion...Anwar...eek not loving it!

 

[MeanLaureen]

I'll probably get thwapped for this.. I didn't like Anwar tonight again

 

[drgnfly30]

Bo - Free Bird!!!! So looks the part... too bad it wasn't with the right back up band (they needed to rock more)... He was great though!! I could easily see him in front of a rock band! Gotta love a little Skynyrd!

Anwar - I wish he'd pick it up some more.. he seems, I don't know... nervous to me, he'd be a great wedding singer but he seems out of his element.

As a side... my DH who never watches this show is sitting here yacking & singing alongl... it's driving me crazy!!

 

[RyMickey]

I'm a fan of Bo's, but I thought he was just okay. Not a fan of Anwar and his whiny voice tonight didn't change that. Everybody the past couple of shows has been disappointing to me. Maybe I'm just becoming jaded.

 

[rubyslipperlover]

anwar...the beginning of the song was weak, I don't know why randy and pala were so full of praise.

 

[disneyworldgirl]

2. Bo-- "Freebird"-- Good song choice, but he sounds a little off tonight (usually he's really good). Pretty good finish, but not his best overall.

3. Anwar-- "I'll Never Love This Way Again"-- He seems like he's off-tempo to me. Not bad vocally, and another good finish. Probably the best so far tonight.

Nobody's really "wowing" me though.

 

[StaceyA]

Ok, did anyone see Paula just almost fall over at the end of Anwar's song?

 

[rubyslipperlover]

gotta go pick up my dd at dance class -- thank goodness for videotape.

 

[orangeblossom]

I did not like Anwar tonight.

 

[rubyslipperlover]

Ok, did anyone see Paula just almost fall over at the end of Anwar's song?

can we vote off one of the judges?

 

[disneyworldgirl]

4. Anthony-- "Everytime You Go Away"-- Smooth vocals, and I'm glad that he's finally showing a little more energy. He seems to be connecting with the audience a bit more than usual tonight as well. This sounds like the Anthony I remember from the auditions. Very good tonight (the best so far, IMHO). Even Simon thinks he did well (what's up with that?)!
