Oh, what the heck. Can't sleep...may as well get rid of some surplus carcasseseses.Five dead birds: Elliot - Although he didn't "touch me" and make me cry, he was great tonight. I didn't like the song, but Elliot made it tolerable. His jerky body movements were toned down (I noticed him holding his right hand with his left hand lol) and his usually startled facial expressions were more relaxed. For all this, he may feast on five juicy morsels this week! Chris - I can't help it. He's so sexy. And the singing on his back thing? Oh.My.God. Three dead birds: Taylor - Too subdued tonight. It was just alright. One dead bird: Paris - I didn't like it. Her enunciation was way weird. As someone over on VFTW said, it was just like "Dint we awmote ave it awwww" all over again. Katherine - She shouldn't have tried to do that song. It didn't work. Nice oobies, though. Droppings: Pickler - You suck, Pickler! Ahm sawwwry, but you suck the hind teat. Gizzards and Feathers: Celine Dion - I nearly ran screaming out of the room when I saw her. And the "if God had a voice" comment? Made me want to renounce my Canadian citizenship. Oh, how I loathe her. Rolly made this.

LAST EDITED ON 04-26-06 AT 06:43 AM (EST)1. Katharine. The dress was ugly, but so is most of the crap these contestants wear. 2. Elliott. It was a really pleasant performance. 3. Chris. Okay, if a little boring in some parts. He's usually a favorite. 4. Taylor. Boring, really, and a little off, but still overall okay. 5. Paris. I know she's supposed to be magnificent, and that all the guest singers have praised her talent, but I don't like the tone of her voice or something. I really hate the head bob thing she does, too. I was wondering if she can't get the "shake" in her voice (vibrato?) so she shakes her head in front of the mic to create the effect. 6. Kellie. That was really not good, in almost every way.

All in all I thought the boys outshined the girls tonight. It was like watching two different levels of competition. Top 12 should have been all guys this year. With maybe a Kevin/Sway exchange for Paris/Katharine. Ten guys two girls. It would have been a way more enjoyable season for me.(I agreed with Paula a lot so I had to rewatch it to make sure I wasn't going crazy or that I wasn't being drugged.) 1. Chris - It's no secret that I'm a Chris fan. So I don't think anybody will be surprised that I put him here. As I said in the other thread, the lying on the floor and singing was the highlight of my week. 2. Elliott - It was fantastic. I closed my eyes the second time around for almost everybody's (not Chris's) performance and I gotta tell ya, that boy was brilliant last night. I just need him to not look into the camera when the mic isn't covering his mouth. It brought tears to my eyes. But it's no big secret that I'm mentally unstable, so bringing Paula and I to tears doesn't mean a whole lot. 3. Taylor - Not sure what page the judges were on here. That was a good song choice and he sang it really well. Make up your mind. Do you want him to spaz or stand there and sing? They complain about both. ugh. I liked it. 4. Paris - Paris has this weird enunciation when she sings and it really stood out tonight. But I did like her performance. That girl has pipes. She needs two more years and she'll be really great. 5. Kellie - I thought Kellie actually pulled out a few good notes. Not enough to make the performance good but enough to make me think she did better than Katharine this week. 6. Katharine - I thought Katharine did surprisingly not well. She looked hot though. Almost too hot. Like the wardrobe people were trying to make up for dressing her horribly every other week. I totally agreed with *gasp* Paula. And I think the only good part of her singing performance was the very last line. an arkie work of art

>>(I agreed with Paula a lot so I had to rewatch it to make sure I wasn't going crazy or that I wasn't being drugged.)<<I had the same problem!!! It really upset & confused me for a while. However, later in the program, she was kinda making the same comments -- like a repeating loop -- so I have a theory: A couple of times per season (and once before the city auditions start) Paula sits down with Bird (the show's vocal coach) and gets a few comments that she can use to sound like she actually knows something about singing. And at this point in the show, she can get really specific comments like "Kat over-sings sometimes." So each time she gets her new "script" she sounds half-way intelligent for a few critiques -- until we've heard it too many times and we all realize that she's still an idiot.

I was VERY underwhelmed last night, but I'm not surprised because none of these contestants could hold a candle next to Andrea Bocelli . . . he is AMAZING and I can't wait to hear him tonight.1. CHRIS - Mostly by default. I thought Chris sounded great when he wasn't screaming -- those couple of times he chose to scream I thought took away from the tenderness of the song. My fave part was watching Chris on his back during rehearsal . . . my mind wandered naughtily, a bit . Sigh 2. TAYLOR - I'm not sure what happened with his performance, like a few of the others, during their rehearsals there were so many positive comments that I expected so much more. Music drowned him out -- the lighting was H.O.R.R.I.B.L.E. I have a conspiracy theory that the judges, mostly Simon are trying to get Taylor kicked off, yet he is a top vote getter. Soul Patrol is here to stay. S.M.A.L.L. . . G.A.P. 3. KATHARINE - The Judges were E.X.C.E.S.S.I.V.E.L.Y. harsh on Katharine last night. I thought she did a very good job. It's obvious from the comments by Andrea & the other guy that she did great during rehearsals & she has a phenomenal voice. I'm sick of the "you shouldn't sing a song by a great artist" nonsense. Hello, the theme was greatest love songs, which guarantees it is a song originally performed by a legendary singer. N.E.V.E.R. . . . S.H.O.U.L.D.'.V.E. . . . S.H.O.W.E.D. . . . U.P.!. 4. ELLIOTT - By default because I dislike Paris more and, to be honest, his vocals were good. Elliott just does nothing for me. Zero personality and charisma and my mind wanders while he's singing. He just can't keep my attention. 5. PARIS - In some respects, I want to put Paris dead last. My biggest gripe at the moment is her poor enunciation. I swear, she would either breathe into her words or out of them -- never forming a complete word. It is just very annoying to me and THAT comes off as an "act" pretending to be what Paris thinks a legendary singer should sound like. It was dreadful. 6. KELLIE - Kellie's greeneness is showing more & more each week. Since she has not had vocal lessons since she can walk and has not had many years of experience, she is truly clueless. She had no idea what the guy was talking about in hitting the high note false. She got good comments & I think she has promise with some vocal coaching. Her confidence is wavering & she knows it's down to the wire. Definitely in the bottom 3 & I hope she can pull out at least one more week & redeem herself a little before getting the boot. I'd like her booted on a high note, rather than last night. I would still rather watch Kellie perform over Paris & Elliott, though. Kind Creation of ARNutz

1. Chris - Hate the song but I did think he did it great. 2. Elliot - Yeah this suprises me that I am putting him this high. For the first time I kind of got why everyone likes him. We shall see if it continues! 3. Taylor - He was boring a little. But parts of the song were really good and I liked him a bit more subdued. He just looked really nervous. 4. Katharine- She was definately not as bad as the judges made it seem. I hate the song but I think she was OK. 5. Paris - Again she was meh. Wrong song for her. Way too old for a 17 year old. 6. Kellie - I think everyone must be in agreement here. She took a boring song and made it even duller.

LAST EDITED ON 04-26-06 AT 11:05 AM (EST)I like zbaby's list, I think I shall copy the order and some of the words!! Loves me some zbaby!!! HOW YOU DOIN? Overall, that was the worst week since Stevie Wonder...I just did not like it very much but I'm not a big sappy love song person. I really love some love songs, hate most of them. 1. Chris - Hate the song, I hate bryan addams love songs hate em! But he really did very well. As opposed to most of you, I liked when he rocked it up a bit at end. I wish he would have completely rocked out another song and said FU to the judges!! 2. Elliot - I didn't see/hear it all, but it sounded good what I saw The song choice was meh. 3. Taylor - As opposed to most of you that like spazzy Taylor, I liked this and was surprised how hard the judges were on him. I think it helped that I love the song he chose. He DID look really nervous though. 4. Katharine- I didn't see it but she couldn't have been as bad as the other two. It seems the judges were "scripted" to pan her....I really don't like when anyone tries to do the coke addict's songs or frisky's fave Canadian, for that matter... 5. Paris - I love the song and she ruined it. She's not long for this competition after that and bc of the pickler luv factor 6. Kellie - omh, my dogs were howling and my cats thought one of their own was dying.. that was just H O R R I B L E... I agree with CattyChat this time about her not faking--she really did not know what the man was talking about the high note....I also hate that song HATE IT! I can do other things while lying on my back, ya know

1. Elliott--Vocally the best last night. I still think Simon is off his rocker with "best male vocalist EVAH" lable, though. And Paula? needs to pull her head out of her cup of cognac and Vicodin. What a moron!2. Chris--Parts of it were a little shaky, but it was good overall. It will be interesting to see if he adjsuts his singing style to include Andrea Foster's recommendations. 3. Kat--All cleavage aside, the judges were partaking of Paula's special stash while Kat was singing. Was she Whitney? No. But I thought she did an excellent job of making it her own. Oversung in parts? Yep. Does Whitnet oversing? Yeppers. Is Kat on crack? No. Is Whitney? Yes. Is Paula? Yes. 4. Taylor--A little too reserved for me, but he brought it home at the end. 5. Paris--Add to the list of things I don't like about her--her singing voice is too low. 6. Kellie--Wow. That sucked. What a passionless performance. I agree--her lack of experience and training is showing through.

11. "RE: Rankings - Love Songs Week" |
Posting my rankings before I catch up on my board reading. I thought this night would have been better than it was. We had some major screw-ups. 1. Chris - Oh.My.Hell. Let me start this off by saying I am not a Bryan Adams fan (I always thought he sang like he had a huge wad of phlegm stuck in his throught and he needed to clear it out) but Chris made me want to go out and buy this version of Bryan's song RIGHT.NOW. It's moments like last night that I wish I could crawl into Chris' wife's skin and be her for just a day! Love him!!! 2. Elliott - While I wasn't sobbing like Paula I did love Elliott's performance tonight. There is no doubt this boy can sing AND he is getting better and better on stage. Thumbs up to his stylist for such an amazing transformation from what we first saw of him. 3. Taylor - Not my favorite performance of his but I thought he did well. He did a great job staying in tune with all the key changes which is very note-worthy. I still like him doing the up-tempo songs better where he can really get into his groove thang. 4. Katharine - I think the judges were way to harsh on her last night. She didn't do that bad of a job on her song. This song is incredibly hard to sing and I thought she did a very credible job on it. Plus the girl looked just gorgeous. 5. Paris - I'm tired of her cutting the words off in her songs. It's fine to do that with the Billy Holiday type songs because that's how they are sung but doing it to songs like the one last night gets on my last nerve. I'm ready for her to get off the stage right after my last pick of the night..... 6. Kellie - PUT HER OUT OF OUR MISERY PLEASE! I mean really, even her die hard "true" fans should not still be voting for her after the last two performance. She stank up the stage ROYALLY last night. VFTW should be very very proud of their little baby after that travesty. Save us the horror of watching it in recaps tonight and just send her home now! Siggy thanks to Syren!

The judges want the guys to win, but they really aren't the best overall singers.I want Taylor to win, but he was piss poor last night. That broke my heart. Katherine and Paris are the best singers technically and Elliot is right up there with them. I guess my rankings from last night are: 1. Katherine (beautiful sound, beautiful appearance, good personality). 2. Elliott (beautiful sound, unbeautiful appearance, wound-up, slightly edgy, but warm personality). 3. Paris (my voice teacher put her at the top of the list stylistically. He must know what he's talking about. I like her voice, and her ability to sing in lower registers seamlessly shows her range and artistry. I am still trying to figure out why people cannot see past her appearance and pay attention to her sound.) (beautiful sound, alright appearance, strange, teen-agery personality) 4. Taylor (this is a stretch, because technically, he absolutely sucked eggs last night). But I love the guy, and I really want him to win. (yuck sound, rad apperance, fabulous personality) 5. Chris (needs to stop singing in his neck. He made my throat hurt just listening to him. When he was laying on his back, he sang properly. When he got to performance, he stayed in his neck. It was a horrific sound, and I'm disappointed in him, quite frankly. But I am not surprised, because as an overall artist, he lacks range and versatility. Sorry to say that, but that is my impression.) (uneven sound, scary appearance, boring personality) 6. That Thing sounds like a walrus in heat. What a waste of television time. Get.Off.My.Screen. (horrible sound, so-so appearance, ridiculously dumb personality) --Singer

>>The judges want the guys to win, but they really aren't the best overall singers.<<Oooh, I think they are. >>Katherine and Paris are the best singers technically and Elliot is right up there with them.<< I'll agree with Kat & Elliot, but not Paris - no way. Chris & Taylor both have technique AT LEAST as good as Paris, probably better. (I'd have to vocalize with them to be sure.) Yes, Chris sings with too much tension in his neck, but he was open to the advice, and able to fix it on the spot. It takes time for that to become 2nd nature so that it shows up in your performance too. From a pop-rock standpoint, Chris' technique is pretty good. Taylor's technique is also good -- the ease with which he zooms between his chest & head -- his high notes NEVER look like they hurt, they just sail out of him. Yes, there's a blues-soul rasp to his voice, but I think that's his instrument, not a technique problem (unlike Melissa, whose rasp was totally a technique problem). If it were a tech problem, no way would he have the range he has. >>Paris (my voice teacher put her at the top of the list stylistically. He must know what he's talking about. I like her voice, and her ability to sing in lower registers seamlessly shows her range and artistry.<< I will agree that Paris has a good-sized range, but she has trouble singing softly. It's likely because she has a big voice, and the bigger the voice, the later in life it matures -- it just takes longer for a spinto than a lyric. As for "stylistically" -- how can you tell? Paris has not shown anything that looks like HER style. She's a mish-mosh of quirks, ticks & affectations (most annoyingly, the hiccups & scoops, the bad diction) that she is 'putting on' to sound like what she thinks is a good singer. (I'm flirting with danger on this next comment...and I don't mean to be flamey...but it scares me to hear you say "he must know what he's talking about" re: your teacher, if he's in love with Paris. Remember, anyone can hang up a shingle and take on voice students. It doesn't mean they know everything. I hope I'm misinterpreting out-of-context, but please be careful who you trust with those tiny little muscles in your throat.)

He's at the top, top, top of his profession--both as a performer and as a teacher. He would not comment lightly about this, and he was focusing on her tonal quality. It really is a beautiful instrument. She's just a weird teenager, which has nothing to do with her singing ability, and somehow it appears that people cannot see beyond this to give her props for her gift. And it is a gift. Also, I did not say that he was in love with Paris. He is, however, an expert on technique, and I would trust his ear any day. By the way, he never watched the show until last night, so I know that he has no biases. But he recognized that Taylor and Chris did poorly last night from a technical standpoint. I agree. Listen back to the vocal lesson that Chris had and then listen to him on stage. His tonal quality went to the basement when he got on stage and got nervous, in spite of the simple correction that he was able to make in the lesson. Rockers do scream in their necks a lot, but they do not have to. (Witness the basic beauty of Bo's voice.) Chris, on the other hand, has an ugly, growley sound. He is also detached emotionally from his music most of the time. He never sells a song to me. Taylor's sound is warmer, but when he gets nervous, he ends up in his neck, too. Taylor's high notes may not LOOK like they hurt, but last night they SOUNDED like they hurt. Good technique will get you through nerves in a tough performance. He did not exhibit that last night. Sorry. But for the most part, Taylor can woo the audience with the authenticity of his emotional openness. I LOVE this guy, and I really want him to win. But his technique is nowhere near Paris's technique. But since this is not a singing competition, but rather, a popularity contest, that point is moot. As far as sound is concerned, it's just a technique thing. Lucky for all of them that they have microphones to cover up their technique problems. Many of them would not have voices by now if they did not have electronic enhancements. (My sweet baby Bucky is a great example of this. Fantasia, also. I get a throat ache everytime she opens her mouth.) Too many of them scream in their necks. And that will wear the vocal chords out very quickly. --Singer

My rankings.Katharine. I liked it. I thought she did a good job with the song. She seemed to show more personality for me this week which I liked. Chris. Liked that he showed a softer side, sang well. Elliot. Something about the tone of his voice just bores me. Sang well, but to me this performance more than Taylor's sounded like something I could hear anywhere at anytime. Maybe that is what bugs me. Tonally it sounded like any random boy-band wannabe to me. Your mileage may vary. Taylor. Now I love the tone of his voice. Even when he isn't doing a song he can perform to there is a growl in it that just moves me. This week, he didn't do as well as usual. Paris. Someone send that child to a reading comprehension class. I don't have love feelings, just memories. Child you will sing about sexing up a man a few weeks ago but you haven't had a love? Then why dear child pick a love song that is about the old memories of regret about a love affair from long ago? Sigh. A song about falling in love for the first time, or wanting to fall in love for the first time would have suited where you are in life so much more than singing this song. Something about the pronunciation of the last note or the tone of it really took what was an OK job and lost it for me. Kellie. We also could send her to reading comprehension classes as sometimes I don't think she understands what the lyrics stand for either on a regular basis. They do have dictionaries in rural NC, really they do, you could learn what words mean if you wanted to. I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone do this song really well except for the Righteous Brothers. It seems so simple, but gets so repetative when done badly. Singing it in a different key from phrase to phrase does not keep it from being boring and repetatitive.

Chris - a very good performance 4. Taylor - he has a good voice but he looks about 50. 5. Katherine - the song was just to big for her - she's also a very good singer but no personality 6. Kellie - that county bumpkin has to go (should have been gone weeks ago) someone needs to tell her "the act is getting old" and the only one that's buying it (is her)

Very interesting show last night.1. Chris - OMH. I hate that song, but that just blew me away. I was panting with desire by the time he finished. I rarely pick up the phone, but I sure did last night. 2. Elliott - still cannot bear to watch this guy, but that was excellent. Not as great as Simon thought, but pretty damn good. 3. Katherine - I didn't have the problem with it the judges did. Is she Whitney? No, but neither is Whitney anymore. And singing opera with Bocelli? Whoa! 4. Taylor - meh. Not horrible, not great. I think I might just be over him. 5. Paris - displayed every.single.thing. I detest about her. She totally sucks. 6. Kellie - as much as Paris sucks? The suckage emanating from this idiot cannot be measured. Go. Now. Goddess of the Steeler Nation

My rankings for last night are.Kathryn - I know the judges hate when the contestants sing Whitney or Celine Dion since they claim nobody else can sing those songs but them, maybe Kathryn should have chosen another song for that reason, but I don't think she thinks she is as good as Whitney as Simon implied, I think she just liked the song, and I think the judges, especially simon were very harsh on her, maybe simon was trying to make up for praising her to much last week. Elliot - did a really good job, but I think the judges kind of over did it, especially Paula, I do believe Elliot is the most improved of the contestants but I don't think he's reached greatness yet either. Taylor - Same thing everytime Taylor tried to just sing the song and not thrown in the dancing, jumping, the judges then announce he is boring, then when he does the number with the dancing, jumping, simon says this is not a dancing contest, I love Taylor, think his song was better then the judges gave him credit for, but he's in a catch 22, damned if he acts crazy and damned if he does'nt. Still Think Taylor has the most personality of the contestants as the record producer coaching him said. Paris - Love her voice, she can sing anything, but she did oversing that song last night, sometimes less is better. Chris - I don't think he was as great as the judges said, he was basically average, the song was average and the performance was average, the judge went way overboard. Kelly - This girl can only sing a few select country tunes, I don't feel like she ever had a singing lesson in her life, that song was painful, only a person with real singing ability can sing it and we have painfully learned Kelly has no real singing ability. How long can cute and perky give her a pass with sub-par singing? She should be gone but I doubt it, her fans vote for her no matter how bad it gets.

1. Chris. OH.MY.GAWD. When he was on the floor, I suddenly had the urge to do pushups. 2. Elliot. I wouldn't say that it was the kind of performance that would bring me to tears but I really enjoyed him this week. 3. Katharine. I'm sure that my ears are blinded by my eyes but I really enjoyed her performance. Thought the judges were pretty harsh on her compared to how they were with Kellie. 4. Taylor. Eh. Did nothing for me but didn't make me cover my ears either. 5. Paris. I thought this song would bring tears to my eyes because I very much love this song. She did great in rehersal and if she had performed it like that, I would have been more impressed. I felt she undersang a song that is meant to be sung with power. Not to mention the age thing that still bothers me. 6. Pickled. She? brought tears to my eyes. And not in a good way. My original Syren

"She did great in rehersal and if she had performed it like that, I would have been more impressed."Same can be said about Katharine. She impressed me watching the rehearsal so I was surprised by how horrible her performance was. "I felt she undersang a song that is meant to be sung with power." Whereas Katharine tried too hard to oversing and overperform and hurt herself badly. Then of course, we have poor Pickle who just tries to sing at all. The girls are so far out of their league this year. an arkie work of art

Elliot - well, I wasn't moved to tears (I hate Paula more and more), but it was pretty good. 4. Taylor - dropped the ball this week, but still better than the last two. 5/6.

1, Elliot - I lvoe him! I love how he's gaining momentum and confidence exactly when he needs to. The song got a little boring for me in places, but overall I thought it was great. And he's looking so much better. 2. Catharine - I don't know what the judges were hearing. I thought she was mesmerizing. She had pitch problems in a few places but she looked like a star last night. Very impressive. 3. Chris - I liked it a lot . my only complaint is that the song isn't particularly challenging. I thought he really owned the stage though. He is very charismatic and that goes along way. 4. Paris - I really wanted to like this and it just didn't happen for me last night. She's gifted but until she konws who she is and what she wants to be, she's still playing dressup. The mom in me just wants to hug her though. What a self-possessed little girl she is! 5. Taylor - nothing memorable, exciting or enjoyable about it. he was there and he didn't completely blow. that's the end of the story. 6. Kellie - she's just outclassed. just completely outclassed. I

LAST EDITED ON 04-26-06 AT 02:08 PM (EST)Edited Cause I Just Rewatched And Relistened To Them A Couple Of Times Tier Smokin’ or Tier The Judges Must Have Heard A Different Performance From What I Heard Part One – Katherine (This was a stunning, starmaking performance. I can't for the life of me fathom why the judges panned it. I didn't hear any of the complaints they mentioned. I wonder if their comments tonight after they rewatch it will be any different.) Tier Why Doesn’t This Song Get Sung More Often – Elliott Tier Captain Kangaroo Called And He Wants His Jacket Back or Tier The Judges Must Have Heard A Different Performance From What I Heard Part Two – Taylor Tier They Told Me To Sing From My Diaphragm But I Thought I Would Scream Instead or Tier The Judges Must Have Heard A Different Performance From What I Heard Part Three – Chris (Since so many people ranked this high, I thought I should say why you’re wrong, although from most of the comments, it appears to have nothing to do with how he sang and all to do with how he looked. First, here’s what I love about the song, and I do love the song. It starts out at a slow tempo, with a nice slow, sensual feel. At the midsection, it picks up, and while it isn’t a huge tempo change, it is a very noticeable tempo change, noticeable enough that it makes the song. That tempo change is where the passion comes in, and without it? No passion. Chris didn't change tempos at all until he reached the coda. It remained very plodding, and the band didn't help. It sounds more like a march than a tango. I think that is the source of the passionless feeling. Oh, and from what was shown, he was the only person to get good advice from David Foster. But did he listen? Nope. It was his usual nasally vocal.)

Gawd, I must have defective ears.1. Paris - I love her voice, I loved the song. 2. Katherine - I think she's brilliant. 3. Chris - I missed his perfromance and am basing it on the small clip at the end - maybe I was just surprised that he can sing a love song. 4. Taylor - he is the only one that has a different voice. All the other's voices could be any good singer. I like him. 5. Elliot - I don't get the voice. I do have a heart tug for him, but just didn't enjoy it. 6. Kellie - I think that Kellie is a *like - awesome - like you know* type of mindless girl. She doesn't sing with feeling because she doesn't have any feelings other than surface giggles.

LAST EDITED ON 04-26-06 AT 11:00 AM (EST)I agree mostly with everyone here with a couple of exceptions: Chris - Holy.Mackeral. Hot, hot, hot. I'm not an Adams fan and I aprtuclarly hate that song so that took a little away from it for me but he really made me sit up and listen. Paris - I thought she did a fantastice job. Pulled herself way above Katherine and Pickler. And I finally figured out who she reminds me of consistantly - Gladys Knight Taylor - Love the puppy cut the stylist did on his hair. Makes him look younger without losing the grey. And he did a beautiful job onstage. Elliot - bottom three for the boys this week, 4th overall. I thought David Foster was a bit harsh on him but it worked and brought out some passion in him. Just a side note on the Foster thing - was this his show last night or Andre's? Just sayin'. arkie spring thing

Taylor – I admit, this was not the greatest. I agree with Simon that he looked a bit uptight, and it came out in some pitch problems and less “ease” on the high notes. STILL, Taylor is unique, and he is the most heart-felt, honest performer there. He will always be at the top of my list. (If I weren’t sticking to that, he’d be 3rd after Chris based on last night alone.)Elliott – That was just beautiful. One of the things I love about Elliott is that he realizes that he doesn’t know it all, so when someone like Barry Manilow or David Foster gives him criticism and advice, he listens and learns. These things – like showing that you feel the lyric and doing your own riffs instead of someone else’s – take more than a few days or a few weeks to master, but Elliott’s on his way. His connection to the songs is getting much better. Chris – I really liked it. I’ve always thought Chris is a really good singer, and I love that David & Andrea took the time to work some technique with him. (Chris still sang with a lot of tension in his neck last night, but as with Elliott’s challenges, that’s not something you fix in 2 days.) My issue with Chris is still that he’s a one-note performer (Tami ducks the flying rocks). YES, he sings very well, and can sing ballads & country & whatever…but EVERY TIME HE SINGS he has that same stern, scowly, concentrated “Alt-Dude” look on his face. He’s not vocally one-note, he’s emotionally one-note. I understand his appeal, and he’s certainly skilled & talented…he just seems like too many other guys. Kat – I liked this more than the judges did. Yeah, there were a couple of pitch problems, and yeah, she over-sang it, but I thought it was pretty good. Also, a great improvement in the wardrobe. On the other hand, does the world need another chick that sings that kind of music that way? Nope. Paris – Before she sang a note, I wrote down: Oversang, some pitch problems, was “doing” _____. Once she announced her song, I thought I’d fill in the blank with Streisand, but she didn’t do Streisand. She did Roberta Flack. AFTER she sang, I still think she oversang, had some pitch problems, and was “doing” Roberta Flack. Agreed with Simon. Go away until you’re a little older sweetie. Kellie – Man, this chick is annoying. They wouldn’t have to cut off Simon’s comments if they’d stop her from treating her “Seacrest Moment” like it was the Tonight Show. The song sucked. She’s the weakest singer left. She had no clue what lyrics she was singing, no emotional involvement. Yuck. Go home. (let’s see, Wonder-nite--sucked, Queen-nite—sucked, Standards-nite – sucked, now Love Song-nite--sucked…why is she still here?)

1) Katherine - I must have defective ears too. I thought she sang it great. She looked stunning. When they show her Dad in the audience crying it makes me cry too. What's weird is that I have never thought Kat sings nearly as well as the judges give her credit for, until last night, when they rip her a new one. sigh2) Taylor - I know, he doesn't deserve 2nd spot for last night's performance alone. BUT. I love him. He is unique, and he has a voice that makes me want to fly up on the stage and attach myself to his body. major sigh 3) Chris - I was underwhelmed during the performance, but I too thought the footage of him lying on his back singing was HOT. Made me wish I was Mrs. Chris for an hour or two. *g* 4) Elliott - I think he's a really nice, loveable guy. I like him. He has a really nice, smooth voice. But I just don't see him as a star. 5) Paris - The only reason she's not last is because Ms. Pickler stunk it up again last nite. Her over-pronunciation of the words just drives me NUTS! She WILL be the boot tonite. 6) Ms. Pickler - There are no words. She took my favorite song and turned it into a boring, emotionless piece of doggy doo doo. And she looked like crap too. I think the hairstylist is getting his revenge.

1. Elliott - Hands down, the best performance of the night 2. Chris - Unlike the judges, I really wasn't down on his performance. There was definitely some obvious pitch problems that the judges didn't call out. 3. Katharine - After rewatching the show, I'm positive that Kat didn't do as bad of a job as the judges made of her. Sure, she's not as good as Whitney, but so aren't Vonzell, Jennifer Hudson, Trenyce, and (gasp!) Leah LaBelle. 4. Paris - The main problem with the performance was her enunciation of the lyrics. It wasn't a bad vocal performance. However, it did absolutely nothing for me. 5. Taylor - This was a quitter's performance. He started off really roughly and didn't even make an obvious effort to correct himself within the first half of the song. He ended decently, but there was nothing he can do to save this performance. 6. Kellie - The vocals weren't THAT bad. It was the entire performance itself, which lacked any hint of personality Kellie might have. It was like Carrie Underwood suddenly decided to possess Kellie's body.

1) Elliott - Hated the song choice, but his vocals are top-notch. He is getting more handsome by the week.2) Katharine - are you kidding me? She was great. What was wrong with the judges? I actually teared up throughout her performance, and when the camera panned over to her dad crying, I almost lost it. Nice work Cameraman Joe. 3) Chris - Excellent song choice, excellent delivery. You could tell he really wants to perform well. 4) Taylor - it pains me to put him this low. Love him, no problems with his vocals, poor song choice, and that's the only reason it sounded like it could be heard in a bar. 5) Kellie - she is just so cute. I think David Foster was coaching her to fail though. Whyyyyy would he tell her to put that inflection in there? 6) Paris - Vocals were OK. But I dislike this child immensely. During the interview she said that she's only 17 and has never been in love, so can only sing about her "Memories". Huh? That didn't even make sense. She always looks like she has an eye infection. I think we're going to have an all girl Bottom 3...

WOW! At least HALF of the "IDOL-wannabe's" put on a great show last night! How cool was it to see Andrea Bocelli and David Foster coaching these amateurs and letting us know what they really thought?!?!? I'm guessing they all are a little bit better because of the advice the pros gave them. Can't wait to hear Andrea sing tonight! The worst singers were easiest to pick out last night, because I thought at least 3 of the remaining singers gave GREAT performances, so I'll start with the easy part: THE BOTTOM 3: KELLIE - Gets worse every week, and absoultely butchered one of the most recognizable songs on the planet last night! Pitch problems and her "zombie-like" performance SHOULD finally show her the door. TAYLOR - Once a favorite of mine, I still think He could deliver a fun show live...but so can I! His performances have never recovered from 3 weeks ago and I suspect He is getting bored with the whole competition and wants his harmonica back! KATHERINE - Yes, many will disagree with this choice, but she brought it on herself with Her ill-fated attempt to get herself compared to Whitney Huston. What I have been saying about her all along was clearly evident again last night. All surface, no substance - and did I once again detect a very "Diva-like" "I can do no wrong" attitude while the judges were giving her feedback?? I don't like her, but I also don't believe she'll be voted out in the next couple weeks. INTERESTING NOTE: Ironically, Kellie and Taylor have NEVER BEEN IN THE BOTTOM THREE!!! ====================== GREAT PERFORMANCES: ELLIOTT - My fave finally shined like He's never shined before in this contest. I suspect He made more than just Paula Abdul break into tears with his moving vocal performance. Now if He would actually just MOVE on stage and have a little fun with all that talent! The BEST last night! PARIS - She really CAN sing anything! I suspect she will be gone before the Final 4, though, because of her age and lack of "life experience" - a fact she, herself admitted last night while describing her song selection. I just don't think she will have the votes. Great pipes though! CHRIS - OK...I'll say it: There is not a more consistent performer in the history of AI! Like him or hate him (and I'm a fan!), He's delivered flawless performances in every genre each week. Last night was no exception. My only beef with last night was the difficulty I have categorizing that Bryan Adams song as one of the "World's Greatest Love Songs"! WHO SHOULD LEAVE TONIGHT? KELLIE. WILL IT HAPPEN?? PROBABLY NOT. Say Goodnight, TAYLOR!!!

1) Chris After rewatching the performances, 1-3 are interchangeable for me. Still, I am going to give the nod to Chris. Great voice, showing his versatility (once again), infused himself into the song at points but did not making it overwhelming2) Elliott Beautiful vocal, although it didn't bring me to tears (nice job Paula). Consistant, strong, no complaints from me...although the goofy look kind of puts me off in the love song territory 3) Katharine Much like the previous two, strong vocal, although I like how she changed it up just a bit. The judges were way, way, way off on their comments. She had a bad note or two, which I guess puts her at 3, but she did not deserve that bashing and the death spot. 4) Taylor And between 3 and 4 there is a gap. Taylor just wasn't as good. He struggles on ballads, he is a far better performer of peppy/fast songs. Just not a good week 5) Paris Hey, judges, if Whitney is way too big for Kat, then Babs is way too big for Paris. Wake up asses. 6) Kellie I don't need to explain myself.
