LAST EDITED ON 05-05-09 AT 03:30 PM (EST)Argghh! Behind in the pimp report. Watching the show with someone who talks throughout it makes it hard to remember pimpage notes.
Theme: Rat Pack songs. Mentor: Jamie Foxx
Results night: Taylor Hicks, Natalie Cole and Jamie Foxx all performed. Ryan actually conversed with Taylor and the judges gave him a standing "O". I should have checked to see if Hell froze over.
Top 5 singing order:
1. Kris **bottom 3** third "safe" "The Way You Look Tonight"
2. Allison second "safe" "Someone to Watch Over Me"
3. Matt **boot** "My Funny Valentine"
4. Danny --first "safe" "Come Rain Or Come Shine"
5. Adam **bottom 2** --pimp spot-- "Feeling Good"
Quick notes--will try to add more later:
Simon was out of step with the other judges and, later, we learn, America, most of the night. He worked the pimping, though.
Kris--got a "you look like a gentleman" from Paula.
Allison--I'll have to watch hers again.
Matt--lavish pimp from Simon including a referene to Nat King Cole.
Danny-- the begruding admission of liking it pimp (lol). Good for Danny for stepping up.
Adam--the Pimp Spot, the lighted stairs, dramatic lighting, and lavish pimping. Hmmm. America didn't agree this week.
Or did they? Was Adam really b2 or was Kris? EW.com said Ryan referred to Adam and Matt as the b2; I need to rewatch to catch that. I just remember his telling Kris he was "safe", leaving Adam and Matt standing there.
Simon has the cover of TV Guide with a huge overt pimp for Adam. It deserves its own write up because Simon's slants on things really bugged me.
This week: Rock songs; mentor: Slash
(Quick, which contestants will do best with rock?)
