Tonights Style: Stevie Wonder
Great singer with very hard songs’¦and the bad ones just ramble’¦so this should separate the good from the bad’¦.and it did.
Not in order of appearance…Order of Performance
Your winner tonight: Taylor Hicks
Taylor suited up, got a new move (The Spin) and nailed ‘˜Livin for the city’™ in a true Vegas style that would sell tickets more than records. And hands down was the most fun of the night.
PLACE position: Chris
Mixed the classic Higher Ground from Stevie with the RH Chili Peppers version, clean and strong and fit the mold he created from day one. He will have hit record no matter where he finishes here’¦like Bo Bice…the polish is already done’¦it time to make money.
SHOW slot: Kartharine
One of the rambling songs that make it harder to sing’¦she grunted through it. What makes her top three is her ease and effortlessness (is that a word?) She opens her mouth and the notes come out in tune and with power. Made a bad song at least watchable
Rest of the pack:
Paris Bennett ‘“ New and improved Fantasia (Paris can read and has no children out of wedlock)’¦knows where everything goes and how to do it. Too many runs in the song to make the top three’¦made it a chore just to listen to it’¦kind of like when Little Richard sung the nation anthem in ‘œMystery Alaska’
Elliot Yamin ‘“ Despite being ugly’¦still has a good style, good voice, and the attitude to tackle anything.
Ace ‘“ First Up’¦seemed very nervous’¦looked and sounded small in a big place.
Lisa Tucker- Her Broadway style is still a little too immature and unpolished’¦she totally disconnected from the song’¦it wasn’t worth following along.
Mandisa ‘“ A rare falter with a bad song’¦Stevie has a lot of them…even barefoot’¦not entertaining.
Pickle ‘“ Oh Pickle’¦bad song’¦way out of element’¦but I still love ya’¦she needs more fun not more complex!!
Bucky ‘“ Not a strong singer’¦never was’¦should not be in the final twelve’¦but it was his best job to date
McGhee – Bad Song…so bad she forgot the words…I miss Ayla..she wouldn’t have forgotten the words.
Kevin ‘“ Oh My god’¦what does anyone see in him…let alone Paula. Quirky and far too weird’¦by far the worst of the bunch’¦in every way.
