Like Simon said – it was a weird night. It was overall kind of ho-hum. In order:
1) David Cook – especially the second performance. He looks like a winner and, if he doesn’t, it doesn’t matter. He sounds great on record. You’re right, Wanda, listening back to Mariah’s “My Baby” on the iTunes single version, I was really impressed. [more on this later]
2) Syesha – I liked her best in the first round; I liked her better in the second round – very theatrical. And, if I turn up missing for a while, I’m stalking her. I AM REALLY MAD AT SIMON FOR GIVING HER THE KISS OF DEATH!!!!
3) David A. – who I am just plain bored with. I HATE both of his songs (“Sweet Caroline” and “
4) Brooke – oh, my girl really mangled “I’m a Believer”. “I Am, I Said” was better but only by comparison. It wasn’t that good, either, to me.
5) Jason – nice voice but bad karaoke on both
Geez, maybe Syehsa goes because of Simon’s comment at the end. Look, she’s not going to win and she shouldn’t win. But she’s better than Brooke and Jason. But I think because of Simon, Syehsa goes this week.
About the iTunes singles versions – David’s and Carly’s are VERY, VERY good! Check them out and make sure they are the “Single” version and not the “Performance” versions which are from the first few final 12 shows. The single versions are real studio recordings of their performance songs.
BTW, Carly’s 2001 album (age 17 under her maiden name Carly Hennessy) that went nowhere is also on iTunes (how smart of them). I haven’t heard any of the clips but the review was amazing.
