"AI 11 Top 5 Performance ECST"

The 1960's and British Pop, so may potentially great songs, none of which will be sung tonight.

Keep all discussion here until the West Coast is done medicating with what they forgot the 60's with the first time around.

On this stage, there is no where to hide...

Judges walk across the stage. Ryan down the stairs of doom. No special performance to start this week?

RYAN CAN YOU DO MY HAIR sigh, Ryan says yes after the show.

If you are looking for two hours of incredible music Ryan claims you can find it here. Being able to say that with a straight face is why he gets the big buck.

Back up singers and band following her around like ducklings imprinted on the wrong species.

S. First time I've really heard you step out and use your blues. That's it you showed me you got it in you, thank you lord.

J. could lead a bigger production, different type of Hollie, felt the energy.

R. R asks if they loved it. I loved it too. What they said, you gotta do it like no body's watching. Very nice.

Changed up the song, a lot, we will see...

Playing the guitar, wearing a grey shirt.

What did they give the band peeps, they and the back up singers seem way more animated this week.

R. Let me just say this dude, bunch of discussion, doing the 60's proud, this is what I'm loving 5 people up, for me when someone does a typical version I'm like whatever, made it your own, vibed it up, maybe didn't have as much melody, made it jam bandy PP kinda way.

J. I don't know the original song. Is he singing the same melody? You PP'ed it again. So compelling to watch, want to applaud you. Dynamic performer.

S. Bad news, miss the melody. Good news. you get away with it. Like the stones got away with it. Waves his freak flag.

R He strives to be original.

I'm not sure she gets this song, she seems way to happy about it.

Way to walk through the camera shot of the judges random guy.

J. Like they are holding you back and you run out there and give us so much energy, attack every single song. Natural for you. How willing you are to be fearless out there.

S. You love music, love it when you boot scoot out there.

R. One of the greatest bands, big hand for them. I think they would be proud of you, another great performance from you. You must love to do this the best.

Talk about an odd song choice. The way she was moving on stage was so out of sync with the words of this song. I wouldn't think it would play well with her base, either.

They are acting not happy about this, don't know the song, they just gave it to us, etc.

Swaybots are swaying.

Something's dying alright, like my will to live.

P2 comes in for a hug. Joshua shrugs him off.

S. You guys, You need to embrace each other and look in each others eyes and sing it. When you sing as good as you do, need to be so happy. I needed that tonight. That was back when a song was a song. Duet was perfect. Showed the crazy side, and your beautiful side, match made in heaven.

J. I feel like you were scared to sing that song together. Sing to the girls. When you started letting go you saw what happened. Don't be afraid to sing a duet.

Randy. Started off a little slow, it came alive, you delivered it. Can sing anything if you be who you are.

What is with all the back up dancers this week?
What is with the striped sleeves on that jacket? And the fake daffydill?

S. Gotta be one of the top two idols. Hard to concentrate with dancers that pretty, and those sleeves.

J. Like a throw back from another era, so sickening.

R. It reminds me of a guy from England, Terence Trent Darby, Bring R&B back it has been missing. Ryan the jacket is fly and I love the flower.

Ryan's calling it a Tulip, has Joshua hand it to the swaybots to fight over.

Joshua Hollie, Skylar getting the Round 1 win from the judges (do not mistake three names for each judge picking one of them).

Sitting on the piano.

And the same damn spot uplights, again.

S. Loved it X3 That beautiful ballad voice, I don't know that song. That is what a song is supposed to be delivered, did what you do so well.

J. Had an intimate quality, beautiful run, I felt like you surprised yourself. That is what it feels like baby.

R. Really big song, huge hit from Leona Lewis, mentions Simon Cowell. I was taken back to last season when she didn't quite make it. Dark horse all season. Two for two tonight. J adds We put you through the wringer, but we love you. Back to R For real, peaking at the right time.

Pops out his monitor a few bars in. The swirling tie die can't hypnotize me into forgetting how PP barely squeaked out one of the few notes not in his tiny range.

Who is clapping for this.

R. Relaxed PP, that you are singing the melody, he really can sing the melody. That is a cool thing, when you choose not to do it, to make your own. Want more guitar, not jumping up and down about it.

J. Verses suit your style, did a good job with the melody in the chorus.

S. Glad you sang the melody. Sang it really well.

The swirling tie die gave all the judges flashbacks or something.

S You sang the C out of it.

J. The three of you side by side such a treat. This one suited you better, so cute.

R. All have that range, the arrangement weird holes in it. Very nice job.

"RE: Three Ladies Singing"
Posted by DearAbby on 05-02-12 at 10:06 PM
the arrangement weird holes in it.

It wasn't all due to the arrangement. At least one of the holes was when Jessica didn't come in when she was supposed to.

Mullet Dress, so over this trend.

R. So listen. I said this in round one, peaking at the right time, I believe you, transfixed on everything you are doing. Starting to tell the stories more. Who were those weird people on that bench. Great Job.

J. You wanna win don't you? You just might. Let's look at the two performances. It is all there, and more about the couple on the bench.

S. Just more proof it works when you work it. You brought that into the 21st century.

Sitting on the stage surrounded by minions. Well they might be unlit candles in the fog, but hard to tell.

I think they are fake electric candles but the ones in the spot you can't see are on.

Scary close up of her at the end.

S. You once again showed America how beautiful your voice is. You are going to be #1 girl.

J. How could we have let this girl go home. Captivated the audience, so easy to rush it. Great job honey.

R. Round one, I dunno, this girl is in the top of the leaderboard. The wisdom and talent you have, when you can hold a straight note and the vibrato at the end so pro. Tape into the feeling like you did there and you are off to the races.

Brings her the heels.

You don't know what it's like
To sing a song without melisma.

Gets a standing O.

He has the minion candles as well.

R. Shout out to Robyn Gibb. Amazing Song, that you never heard it and you did that to it. That is what it is all about. Dude, your experience is way beyond your age. Born to do that, not a learned thing. One of the best singers ever. Nobody could do that better.

J. Few who can perform that way. Been years, I think you are one of the best singers I have seen in 50 years. With the right records, Jimmy you better not mess this up. This boy deserves this.

S. Can't say much more, and you took this and did this in 15 minutes. That would have been a hit record right there.

I cannot stand Jessica! She's really not all that. Unfortunately, she will make it to the final. I think the producers will see to that.
