Just a little different from what Glow said...

1) Bo: Definately the best of the night. Two good, entertaining perfromances!
2) Scott: I think he picked two songs that fit his voice very well. Sadly, I think he may go home one of the few weeks he doesn't deserve to go home.
3) Carrie: I've grown so tiered of her. Take out 80's night and musicals week and it's just the same thing out of her each and every week. Also, I just don't like female country performers.
4) Vonzell: Simon was right. This wasn't a good week for her. She did one upbeat song, but she has had better upbeat performances. Then she did a slow song, but she has had better performances before in that area as well. Face it, she was just a little off.
5) Anthony: If the competition last night was a goldfish tank, Anthony would have been that thing stuck to the side of the tank sucking slime off the glass.

"Evil" Dr. Will: Reality Show Legend!

I'll keep this simple.

Bo and Scott deserve to stay.

The other three were basically weak to teh same degree, with Anthony's first song bumping him up perhaps a notch, but by the same token i did enjoy his Backstreet Boys peformance.

I'd say Anthony/Carrie/V have an equal chance of getting the boot.

Well, as usual I posted this in the East Coast thread last night before midnight...a few changes in the comments, but the same rankings...

1. Bo - #2. Not my favorite Los Lonely Boys song, but he did a fantastic job with the song. One little comment to add...if Bo weren't already established in this competition as not being karaoke-ish, this would have teetered on the brink of being karaoke. It was VERY similar to the original...the arrangement was alost exactly the same, his voice is quite similar to the lead singer's voice...just thought I'd throw that out there...

2. Bo - #1. Good choice! I thought Scott would've picked this song, but it worked well on Bo. The main reason I put Bo 1 over Scott 1 (AK, 2 & 3 were the hardest to rank since I really enjoyed both of them) is because of the performance. Bo is a better performer (though Scott's performance last night was his best yet)

3. Scott - #1. When I heard he was singing Broadway, I was a little worried (I shouldn't have been though...we performed it high school in our jazz vocal group and one of our male singers had a voice similar in tone/timbre to Scott's)...but it was good. Mostly I was worried about the performance aspect, but it was a good choice for him all around. And I don't see how he's still chastised so much for his 'arrogance' after last week when he was absolutely STUNNED he was in the top 3 and this week when he was laughing with Ryan after his comments.

4. Vonzell - #1. Loved her working the stage/song. She does tend to have pitch problems still, but she is usually the ONLY one who looks completely at ease and normal on stage (some of Bo's antics seem a bit forced even though I still like him). One thing I have to realize is that most pop stars, when performing live, have pitch issues. I try to be a little lenient in that department if it's a few notes here and there...

5. Carrie - #1. Off-pitch quite a bit tonight and again, looked and sounded as if she was just singing random words that meant nothing to her, but there were definitely parts I enjoyed (haven't been able to say that about a Carrie performance for a while now). She really needs to learn how to convey something when she sings (other than boredom)...this is not cutting it. I'm sure her fans don't care though since Miss Perfect can do no wrong.

6. Scott - #2. Didn't like the song selection (one-note chorus = not the best choice), but with most of what's on the top 40 charts today, he really didn't have much choice in the matter unless he wanted to go out of his genre. Brian McKnight is a pretty risky artist since he's got a phenomenal voice and you'll almost always sound like crap singing his songs no matter how talented you are. His options were very limited (as were Vonzell's, as you'll see by her top 40 selection) given the theme.

7. Vonzell - #2. Not as bad as Simon alluded to, but not as good as Randy/Paula thought. Still, I like her and the way she actually pays attention to what she's singing each week. Funny Bebo (noting your comments in the East Coast thread)...I was actually thinking the same thing about Simon's comments to Vonzell...he did seem like he was trying to get a rise out of her fans based upon some of his non-verbal cues. LOL, I'm psychoanalyzing Simon, now!

8. Anthony - #2. Well, he sure was back to his old ways tonight...NOT a good night for Mr. Federov. He needs to sing either mellow pop music or big 'bravado' type ballads. He missed the mark tonight. If Anthony stays tonight it is ONLY because his fans know that he's in trouble

9. Carrie - #2. Ew. Icky song, icky performance, really icky wardrobe. What on earth was she wearing? Talk about doing everything possible tomake yourself look larger than you are. She did a horrendous job with her wardrobe last week (that black western shirt looked dreadful on her and made her look like she weighed about 15 lbs. more than she does) and this week was no different. That skirt appeared to have some sort of chain-link fence motif going on. wtf.

10. Anthony - #1. My word that was hideous. He'd been impressing me (a little anyway) over the past 2 weeks, but that performance just about erased every positive thought I'd had about him in the past. Ouch. This is the first time I didn't think he looked like Dweeze's weasel guy though (his face is very smooshed together), so that's good.

Overall

Bo
Scott
Vonzell
Carrie
Anthony

Should go home: Anthony
Will go home: Scott ('luck' finally catches up with him even though this was arguably his best night in the finals).

On one hand I hope Carrie's in teh bottom three, but then that would just make her fans vote like mad for her next week and I don't want to see her stick around any longer than necessary. I really hope it comes down to Bo and Vonzell - they are the only two who 'get it' in terms of giving a good performance and vocal ability.

Got blog?

Similar but not the same as PM this week, she has more love for Baby V than I do...

1. Bo 2--I liked that song by Bo...I don't care if it was too similar to original --I think that's what people want with this week's top 40 songs.

2. Scott 1- I actually would put Scott's first performance up here above Bo's first... maybe it's bc the song Bo sang is just a bit too hackneyed for me to enjoy it any longer. I liked Scott singing the song to Simon too... but I was sort of hoping he would do Yakety Yak and sing "DON'T TALK BACK" in a really low voice

3. Bo 1--Even with that song, he did very well.

4. Carrie 1--she sang this well and showed a bit of personality here. Her fans will love it.

5. Carrie 2-it was okay but it was perfect for her fan base, she's totally safe

6. Scott 2-eh, it was good, but the first one was his best performance since his first audition.

7. Anthony 2--it was okay, but the tweeners/teens loved it and thought he was singing to them, so he will get the vote...

8. Vonzell 2- I didn't like this song from her but it was a bit better than her first one

9. Vonzell 1--I don't have any idea what that was and I almost fell over when Randy praised her that much...Simon was right it was all over the place

10. Anthony 1-- Poison Ivy...well, his rendition did make me itch ...

I think Vonzell will be in the bottom 2 (are they doing b2 or b3 tonite?) with Anthony and she will go home. But with that first song Anthony really should go home, but the tweener vote will save him again bc of his 2nd song. If there is B3, Scott will join them but I think he will again be safe.
